actual working mathematican OR a collection of three IID random variables stacked on top of each other in a trench-coat NOT an "independent researcher"
it's almost mean to make the italians play hockey, really.

i think there should be speed skating where they put little rockets on the back of their skates

God the aughts were so fucked up it literally took me until my early 30s to truly internalize that I’m not fat and out of shape and I run like 10 miles a week and take four different exercise classes

Is that thing they say about eating pineapples true. People on the left should be thinking seriously about that
I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.

Tried to explain the concept of fractals to a non math audience over dinner the other day because someone asked about my thesis and literally got like four words in an experienced a wave of exhaustion so totalizing I just stopped and said “no let’s talk about something else” like a total bitch

If you put me in charge of first contact I would be SO normal about it. I’d be really good

I think instead of or maybe in addition to furries there should be slimies and they’re guys who dress up like slugs snails and like sea cucumbers and stuff

I love listening to random French. It’s like what I imagine being a baby is like. Getting every third word. Vaguely knowing what’s going on but not really. People will mostly fill in the blanks for you anyway if you just go along with stuff, it’s incredible, have you guys noticed this? Anyway

It’s wild how the aughts just look worse and worse in hindsight. Disgusting decade

the past is such a head trip, I read an alternate version of the heated rivalry show set c. 1989 and a big part of the story was obviously a Russian player defecting

And you think about that and gay rights in 1990 and AIDs and episode one of sex and the city coming out in 1998 and your head hurts

The more I think about it the more I do think “stray dog” is exactly the American image abroad right now. Pathetic, needs help, may lash out and hurt itself in its confusion, potentially rabid
February 11, 2026 at 12:07 PM
In a way this is all great news for insecure Americans our national image is rapidly reshaping from “arrogant cowboys” to “sad pathetic wet stray dogs”
Americans keep asking me “are the French treating you badly over Trump” and like, no, not at all. They treat me like I’m a glass object in danger of breaking at any moment. Very concerned

I have been eating green beans for 30 minutes and there are still more green beans. If I don’t eat these green beans the middle aged women who run the cafe will lecture me. Help
The cafeteria workers here always give me double portions because they love me (I practice my shit French on them and they give me insane heart eyes) but all I can do during lunch is stare blankly out the window while reading about new ways my country is falling apart. it’s not great

I did read the article - it's interesting! - but it is very funny how clearly everyone in the building is projecting a personality on to nothing.

Ilia's PCS is broken af though this whole system has got to be overturned before they let the Russians back. but like lets be real the issue is with the skating federations
February 10, 2026 at 9:38 PM
