When a colleague asks if your wife has finished her origami stellated truncated icosahedron, the true Wife Guy move is to respond, "Yes," and then insist, "she got that dog in her."

saying that charlie brown had "hoes" is like saying that temple of aphrodite at corinth had "hoes". what was happening there was within its own cultural context, and we should be careful about describing it in modern language

"Born in 1979, high school debater, CS major, management consultant, blogfluencer" is a vibe whose consistency belies its apparent eclecticism.

That vibe is, "Type-A, but domain knowledge is for suckers."

We had one of my favorite crabs in the invertebrate teaching lab today! This is Dromidia sp. a carrier crab. Their last pair of legs is modified to carry sponges and other animals as a defensive mechanism. This one is carrying a colonial tunicate. #invertebrates 🦑🦀

MLB needs to just say that every manager is a player-manager if you got the stones to try it.
I am not just posting this because Mark Canha got DFA'ed but I feel like sports teams should get to have an Unc Slot on the roster. Like how the Knicks carried PJ Tucker down the stretch to be a soothing but hardcore older presence, or the last eight years of Udonis Haslem's career.

There is never a bad time to drop the fact that the cinematographer for Cool as Ice (Janusz Kaminsky) also did Schindler's List.

Will we soon get the first Supreme Court decision on the 3rd Amendment?

Could see it going like, ICE wants to house agents in a state police barracks, state says no, Alito says, "Ackshually, they're not *troops*..."

I've been mad at my garden because the vermin keep eating or wrecking everything. But today I saw a big bumblebee in the raspberries, so I guess it's worth it.

This is a helpful and interesting thread, but it really looks like the aesthetic principles of the "tsdf" embedding are Weird British Guy.
these are three samples from "man, tsdf," where tsdf is a learned embedding based entirely on a set of aesthetic principles which, to my knowledge, were not invented by anyone else.

"tsdf" exists in the way that the evil vector does: it is a way of referring to a domain within the embedding space.
