A thing that I don't know what it means will lead to another thing I don't know what it means but both are bad and non of them are what I want which is the fun kind of autocracy for the right kind of people.

If Joe Biden can walk from the White House to Capitol Hill, he stays. If not, you get Kamala, Whitmer, and Shapiro on a stage and whoever gives the most moving speech takes the nom.

This is such a cool study. It reminded me of an interview I heard with Ta-Nehisi Coates about him writing comics. He said something along the lines of his comics writing enraged folks more than anything else and he realized he was messing with their foundational stories.

Reminder that Aaron Swartz was facing 35 years in prison and financial devastation for trying to programmatically download and open the contents of JSTOR, which led to him taking his own life. But OpenAI is going to scrape all of academia and make billions by plagiarizing it.

I would say it's all been downhill since they moved on from Times New Roman but then I remember I didn't write my dissertation in Word because it kept crashing too much so it's basically just always been barely usable.

Ich bin es wirklich leid mich zu beschweren. Zug fahren ist toll, in der Theorie. In der Praxis passt aber nichts zusammen, im Fernverkehr nicht und im Regionalverkehr nicht. Im ganzen Semester kam ich bis jetzt einmal pünktlich an, und die Verspätung war *durchschnittlich* jenseits von 30 Minuten.

Zug war pünktlich bis drei Stationen vor Endbahnhof und hat's jetzt geschafft eine 23-Minuten Verbindung aufzufressen. Redet nur schön weiter drüber dass das Deutschlandticket nicht dazu führt, dass die Leute das Auto stehen lassen und sowieso teurer werden muss, ihr habt doch eh schon aufgegeben.

Das Deutschlandticket war eine der effektivsten Entlastungen die 🇩🇪 jemals zustande gebracht hat. Es finanzierte weder Kriege, Ölkonzerne, noch macht es Reiche reicher. Und dennoch soll es jetzt teuer werden, weil 19,4 Mrd. Euro an KFZ-Subventionen wichtiger sind als paar Mrd. € für bezahlbaren ÖPNV😥

I know lots of people are posting UK/France comparisons about defeating right-wing autocrats but a better comp is Poland/France. The best way to defeat that form of authoritarianism is through a liberal-left coalition that coordinates and does not undermine each other.

Das ist in einem Land ohne Staus und in dem die Bahn immer pünktlich kommt schon illusorisch, in der Realität bedeutet es entweder mindestens eine Stunde Puffer einplanen oder in der Probezeit wegen konstantem Zuspätkommen gefeuert werden.

The first Gen Zers in my timeline have come around to saying there are outfits that do look best with ankle socks. The discourse is just ouroborosing anyway. And honestly I'm not taking fashion advice from influencers who thought the 90s but more beige was the vibe.

Lessons I've learned from the LLM era (list to be expanded, probably): 1. Sufficiently advanced autocomplete is indistinguishable from an impossibly well-read toddler on peyote. 2. Almost any decision has the potential to be a life-or-death decision, if you're bad enough at it.
