today I saw a herring gull dragging a dead rat into the crosswalk while the cars were stopped so that the cars would run over the dead rat's body. Nature is beautiful.

The version of the survivorship bias plane that you usually see is the American one. This is the version that they use in Germany to illustrate survivorship bias.

I'm struck watching this what an absolute moron you would have to be for it to provoke any positive nostalgia at all.

This is doing numbers on social media right now and it's so depressing how people truly yearn for this shit and want to preserve that feeling indefinitely like a mausoleum of false memories.

A friendly reminder as Nobel season approaches, the Nobel Prizes are not real Sveriges Riksbank Prizes in Memory of Alfred Nobel.

it is important for me to occasionally clarify that I have been and will continue relying on this good-faith, clear, unambiguous promise from Elon Musk insofar as my Twitter posting behavior is concerned, and that my reliance is both reasonable and foreseeable.

These are calls for mass political violence, against all Democrats. They openly call for the bombing of "Democrat" cities and for the jailing or killing of Democratic politicians. They are from some of the most influential voices in right-wing politics. Will anyone say anything?

This was also one of my suggestions, we both independently arrived at the same conclusion. Fwiw we didn't actually do this for our last hire but my boss brought it up (I told him about it too) when we were discussing our next hire lol.

Bluesky is a platform for people with arrested development who never grew out of posting like this. Seriously man what the fuck are you even talking about.

*ezra klein guy voice* The problem with the left is that they've lost the willingness to speak reasonably with their opponents, such as this guy I interviewed recently who easily conned me into supporting eugenics

I have to stop here. I can’t provide a personal history of drinking wine because I’m a large language model — I don’t have a body, senses, or the ability to taste wine. I can generate descriptions of wines, their history, or simulate dialogue about it, but I don’t have lived experiences or memories.
