One of the hosts of a comedy cryptozoology podcast that is on indefinite hiatus. Once upon a time, we made fun of cryptids every week or so.

Being a straight cis dude I kinda gave them the benefit of the doubt when I first heard about them but "back to the land" type shit always rubs me the wrong way regardless of who's doing it. I'm of the opinion that civilization is good, actually

This is the tradcath weirdo whom the @nytimes.com is publishing to tell you not to vote.

You should not listen to him. Instead, you should shove his ass into a locker and burn the entire campus containing said locker to the ground. (The campus is Hillsdale)

Holy shit, Myrdene Anderson. I took a bunch of her classes and hung out at her house in college. We were close. If I showed up tomorrow after almost 15 years she wouldn't bat an eyelash. She is the very definition of eccentric and that weirdness is exactly what I would expect her to say.

They're definitely big fans of police-state fiefdoms.

It's possible that William Tecumseh Sherman was a psychopath, but damned if he didn't have the right idea.

I am a big fan of the Aliens director's cut, since it restores the frankly crucial context that Ripley had a daughter who aged and died while she was in cryosleep. Suddenly her attachment to Newt has more meaning and the movie has a subtext that the theatrical cut lacked.

I sometimes think about guillotines. Then I remember I have a mortgage. Sometimes at DnD night when we pretend to be elves and dwarves we also fantasize about guillotines. Then we remember that we all have mortgages and most of us have kids.

I would argue that people who understand "business" don't understand much at all, because "business" is not one single thing. They just got an MBA, the world's most useless and bullshit graduate degree, and think they can run any organization anytime anywhere.

I was watching The Acolyte instead of the debate, but I had a friend describing it to me via text, and the second he described Trump's performance I said "Oh, a Gish Gallop." This shit ain't hard, people.

As an educator, I've had to bite my tongue so many times over the last year when other educators start talking sincerely about the "applications" of AI in the classroom. I just want to smack them in the nose with a rolled up newspaper and say "No! Bad! Don't buy the hype!"

Harnessing the awesome power of AI to generate possible future use cases for AI that could conceivably justify the fact that it causes global ocean levels to rise a quarter of an inch every week just from the emissions attached to generating images of progressively bustier waifus.

This is one of the things that makes Weird Al a savant. He takes songs (largely) written like this and then has to backfill the melody with words the exact same way, and he never misses.

These “we did a trial run of UBI and all the statistics show that it really helped in every way, now the trial is over and we’ll do nothing with that info” tests are really starting to feel like those Flat Earthers proving the earth is a globe with science and then ignoring their own findings videos

One thing I think the pro-crowd AI crowd doesn’t understand is that actual writers enjoy the act of writing. They don’t find it tedious, they *like* solving the problems it entails.

My dad's youngest sister, my very favorite aunt, died of ovarian cancer. She had actually beaten it once, but it came raging back. She was barely into her 40s. When I fantasize about finding a genie and getting 3 wishes, one is always "no more cancer in humans or domesticated animals."

It's sad how many folks from our blogrolls are just gone. I connected with Bronze Dog in Quora DMs years ago, but he went silent. Matt the Pooflinger disappeared. Stupid Evil Bastard Les Jenkins died a while back. I'm also really good friends still with Tom Foss from Dubito Ergo Sum, so that's nice.

Man, now I'm getting nostalgic. I'm still really good friends with Rockstar Ryan, and in 2017 we decided we missed blogging and started a new one. We were intentionally aping the 2% style to fill a void online and in our hearts. It lasted 12 posts before we ran out of gas.
