cat leaves little parenthesis-shaped claw flakes everywhere. writing lisp on the couch, the rugs, everywhere. it's terrifying.

i threw out my back, went into a weird coding fugue, and wrote some terrible rust programs with, and I quote, "extremely gay names"

i guess it's convention, but trump sitting while others stand just makes me think "he can't stand up right now"

remarkable there's no stupid "why is mamdani legitimizing trump by appearing with him" discourse yet.

i'm sure we'll get it. but it's notable that the knee-jerk pseudo-political response isn't already ubiquitous.

the old "last person in the room with trump" thesis vindicated.

good of them to compile an enemies list for me.

is it hard to be four years ahead of the discourse at all times? yes. yes it is.

if you're thinking of making fun of jd vance for being a slob who spills shit over all over himself constantly, remember your slob friend (me) who spills shit over all over himself constantly might be listening.

flipping my script, lol.
I watched an internal presentation from a CMU professor at work who said that they were getting students who passed every homework assignment and then got 7% (iirc, it was in that range) on the final

taking this opportunity to say that her simulmatics book was absolute dogshit.
The Lepore interview boils down to her saying that despite better pay, research support, & resources than 99.9% of historians working today, she wanted to quit because some students - whom she barely has to teach given the low load - were too woke. These are not the advocates the discipline needs!

NEW IL-09 poll with the Justice Coalition Action: Daniel Biss and Kat Abughazaleh are tied for first in the Democratic primary with 18% of the vote.

Laura Fine trails in third with 10%, and all other candidates receive 6% or less of the vote.

Plot-wise, Vice Principals is one of the most fucked up shows I've ever seen. But the way it's scored, especially the drum line bits, makes me feel actually insane when I watch it.
