In business school I wrote my final paper in my cost accounting class in about four hours while on shitty hospital WiFi because my wife was in active labor.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

If you own property in Minneapolis, you might be delinquent on your water bill and not even know it!

spooky smcgee @smcgee.bsky.social · 10d

Friendly reminder that Minneapolis changed its billing system for water payments and did a terrible job telling people, so your automatic payments might not be going through.

I think deep down, Delta Airlines knows how deeply valuable their 24-hour phone line operators are to them as a company. If they ever tried to replace them with an AI chatbot they know how fucked they’d be.

My cure to the male loneliness epidemic is to take away every boy’s phone and young man’s phone, then force them to get together to play Goldeneye and Mario Party in a basement for hours on end. Bingo bango, problem solved.

I did! It wasn’t great but certainly not as bad as the discourse would have you believe.

I don’t think Trump is smart enough to actually have much of a plan. The hedge funds will be happy to be part of a lucky turn of events for them

Given enough money even overinflated idiots can do a lot of damage. I know you think you know, but you don’t understand how much money the valley is about to pour into defense startups. It’s an insanely hot investment right now, and the SBA is giving a few billion in free money to select defense VCs

Remembering the time my parents babysat my kids for 24 hours. We gave them a big list of local activities/restaurants they could use. What did my kids want to do? Go to grandma and grandpa’s house all day.

It’s funny that the one openly MAGA person who lives a few blocks away from me in Minneapolis still has his flag at full mast. The same flagpole still flies the old MN state flag.

getting rid of quarterly reporting for public companies would be a hedge fund manager’s dream. They would have an extreme information advantage with the expensive data they buy.

Kirk twoot:

“Who was MLK?

A myth has been created and it has grown totally out of control

While he was alive most people disliked him, yet today he is the most honored, worshipped, even deified person of the 20th century

Today we are going to tell the truth and explain how this myth was born

Happy Monday.”
