Played a little RATM on drums tonight in honor of Renee Nicole Gold
Put tracks on and played from memory of practicing them like 20 years ago in my parents’ attic
I rarely play that loud, hard or fast anymore so it was a challenge but it felt good
Needed a refill on that kind of energy

We should embrace the varieties of pizza instead of arguing about them
This place needs some Innocuous Discourse pronto. Quote this with a take that’s not political or aggressive

Times are tough, and some of my paid subscribers have had to cancel lately due to financial hardships. I get it, and I wish for better times for us all. Unfortunately, paid subscriptions are now dipping into unsustainable territory. I am hoping to get eight new paid subscribers before the new year.

the “you should love ai” line is best outlined by a recent joe rogan episode. he LOVES ai music and always tells guests this. a guest pushed back on him saying “i’ve heard ai podcasts are amazing too” and joe rogan immediately pushes back. losers love it until it comes for them

I think it's important not to misunderstand what these social media platforms are. They are not public arenas where we bravely take on reactionary forces in honorable combat. They are apps that expose you to stress and thereby simulate the feeling of having done something useful

I haven’t read this yet but I’ve had this “pendulums must swing” thought in my head for years but have never been able to describe it so succinctly and clearly
It is important to promise, now, that whatever Trump builds at the White House will be torn down as soon as he leaves.

When the issue was forgiving student loans, there was a lot of grumbling from the older generations about it, about how they had done it the hard way (even though costs were much lower then) and the Kids Today should too.
But when it comes to Kids Today doing the actual work? Meh, they don't care.

Absolutely staggering to consider the deadweight loss that AI has caused educators in terms of burdening them by making cheating easier, and how little our society's elites care
Across the country, a small but growing number of educators are experimenting with oral exams to circumvent the temptations presented by powerful artificial intelligence platforms such as ChatGPT.

The White House just released Trump’s National Security Strategy. And just like him, it’s a mess.
This entire plan puts America at risk, but I’m sharing his three worst ideas here. (🧵)
