the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

The year is 2003. I’m 17 years old. I’m watching Democrats fail to appropriately oppose an illegal war for oil.

This is a neat new study using LIDAR to document pre-colonization raised agricultural beds along the Menominee River that separates Wisconsin from Michigan, north of Green Bay.

“massive field systems like these were much more common than previously recognized”

Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words.

But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.

I have always said it, I will continue to say it, we are limiting the productive potential of millions of freaks by demanding they earn a wage to survive instead of enabling them to do whatever thing their brain is broken for

Incredibly useful tool for bad, lazy researchers and those who need to make a pretense of research
Did you know that from tomorrow, Qualtrics is offering synthetic panels (AI-generated participants)?

Follow me down a rabbit hole I'm calling "doing science is tough and I'm so busy, can't we just make up participants?"

I don’t even know off the top of my head what the alternative to birthright citizenship is. Like what the fuck are you talking about.

Since everyone’s talking about disability right now something I think about is in college one guy had an adderall scrip and all the women who bought study buddies off him for like $10-20/pill have all since been diagnosed with adhd. So just funneling money from undiagnosed women to diagnosed men

Is there a word for this reason from/reason to concept?

I often have thought this way about race, and that I am where I am because as a naive child I accepted those elementary school civil rights history premises that black and white people were equal, and when that premise became dissonant…
this is something they reason from, not reason to

it's a bit like you can't reach the conclusion that there is no god within an orthodox christian framework, god is a premise of that worldview, not a conclusion of it

Testing out flashes’s grid. Hello world I’m a wild girl. This is an Andy Warhol piece I saw at the museum in Pittsburgh last week. It turns out I don’t like Andy Warhol that much but I liked this a lot.

One of my small pleasures is complimenting hotel breakfast staff on the spread because you can tell no one ever does and that they work really hard. Also they have to get up at like 3:30 every day.
