The words I thought I brought I left behind.

Long suffering* Philly sports fan. Historian, REEES.

"groceries" is an interesting word in the dictionary that not many people know, while "affordability" is a plot by Big Webster to implement full communism

lol not sure how I put "viewers" rather than "readers" in there

Many of our viewers approach our reporting with the unshakeable belief that the earth is round, while others are convinced that it is flat. Our job is to challenge these assumptions rather than to validate either one of them.

Going to be really disappointed if it turns out the British guy didn't actually have his foot shredded by the riding mower for art's sake.

… seeing that the student's mother is a known MAGA media figure who defended Jan. 6th-ers, yeah, this was absolutely & unquestionably a provocation.

💯. This also has the feel of provocation* — student backed by TPUSA aware of what they were doing and who the instructor was looking to get a reaction. The “0” was hitting the wingnut jackpot: aggrieved christian victim of elite lib tyranny.

(*not at all incompatible with how you put it.)

… but reading more about it and seeing that the grad student was apparently solely responsible for teaching the class, whew. Should be getting full throated support from faculty in their department no matter what.

Man as someone who uses reaction papers sometimes (in a different field), I would never have a prompt this *long* for a short assignment, even if I were desperately trying to find ways to prevent their using an LLM to do it (they can still do that with some of these options anyway).

The lone survivor will have a vision of triangles. Many, many triangles — moving toward, above, and even through them.

They will have no idea what the meaning of this vision could be.

Oh I’m not saying he didn’t write some good history. (But he also was a Reagan advisor not so late in his life who was a bit too proud of claiming to give him the idea of calling the Soviet Union the Evil Empire)

Oh yeah indeed

Okay but don’t then take a big sip of coffee and read up on what Pipes’ own politics were
November 28, 2025 at 11:34 PM
If this ends up like two years ago, yeah
