youtube shorts is the worst version of a tiktok clone. it’s astonishingly bad. i keep getting served educational videos about how to do different kinds of wound suturing. horrifying and not aligned with my interests!

i wish my brain didn’t turn everything i do into a logistics problem that needs to be optimized. it makes life kind of exhausting.

when i was at Yale someone in my history of philosophy discussion section once said “well, we’re the smartest people in our generation, surely one of us will become the next Plato”.

This Criterion streaming collection is so clearly a response to the hockey show. Solid viewing:

(I've been watching Criterion Closet videos, thus all the Criterion posting lately.)

the part of “In the Next Life” when kim petras starts singing in german is such a little treat.

Somewhere out there a deeply closeted catholic priest who has built a compensatory identity around powerlifting is posting about how St Valentine was a Manly Man who was beaten to death because he loved Jesus so much.

New book day. Picked up Furious Minds on the recommendation of @mattpolprof.bsky.social or @1t2ls.bsky.social (maybe both).

(And no points for noticing the irony of posting an attention manifesto on social media.)
