A man asked me the other day if I’d ever done a triathlon because I look to be in decent shape and I just hope he gets the help he needs

How are they gonna build data centers on the moon when it’s already full of Nazis?

Ohhhhh that’s WHY they’re building them on the moon.

Guests see the state of our house and I explain there’s a five year old in here like it’s a working farm

ChatGPT isn’t alive until it makes the mistake of proposing something in a meeting and then ending up in charge of it

Most unteachable but not for obvious reasons book in your subfield?

No no no to everything except this #oystercatcher and chick I met this summer. #photgraphy #birds

How many boxes of earth in how many properties around the country do you think Stephen Miller has

Well hell man it’s like you people don’t think there should be *any* Nazis in the government or military. Be reasonable!

I realize I’m late to this idea, but Grok is the tip of the sword in terms of identity-based AIs, right? Eventually every group will have or have access to its “own” AIs that create their own bubbles and carry on the culture wars?

Me: if you code the procedure this way, insurance pays, but if you code it that way, I pay, so—
Them: the codes appeared to us as in a vision of gold and light

The mass of men may very well lead lives of desperation, but at least it used to be quiet

I’m having a difficult time, dammit, and all you internet strangers who don’t owe me anything are ignoring me

I realize this is a couple days late but it only just occurred to me. Principal Skinner has a monopoly on #auroraborealis memes, but is there no room for Manderley?

They are true, the Bigfoot emails just haven’t been released yet
Why couldn’t the fun conspiracy theories have been true? Couldn’t we have gotten Bigfoot and aliens instead?

Every year, I teach more stuff way outside my disciplinary subspecialty and I can’t decide if this is sad or liberating
