I saw like one truck rolling coal by a protest. Then nothing happened.

I was most concerned about Portland (the other one, Oregon) for obvious reasons.

NYPD reported zero arrests. This is so powerful.

The most violence I saw was two children bopping each other with a baby Trump balloon.

This is so important.

Looks good so far. Haven't heard of any problems. This is important.

Good odds that ICE incites violence at #NoKings on Saturday.

The tell will be the *only* protests with violence will be where ICE shows up.

Accurate. Don't cross the Swifties though! I wasn't even mad, just amazed.

Bro, I asked how to compose a heptagram from two non-convex pentagons (like a trapezoid with a notch) and it did not succeed.

Some AI bullshit

A pentagram that looks like a trapezoid with a notch in the top, and you only need two to construct a heptagram

No one who says "innerant word of god" actually follows up on that, or even bothers to understand what they are reading.

It's a modern, Protestant, mostly American, wholly illiterate thing to say.

This is what I learned from reading King James front to back and listening to their "sermons"

Just gonna say it as long as it takes but I have been in very elite places and the most downmarket places and the least privileged people are much nicer.

Twitter is still occasionally hilarious. I made a slight against Clarence Thomas in reply to a Babylon Fucking Bee post and I haven't been swarmed like this since I said a Taylor Swift $50k donation was like me throwing a tenner at a homeless person.

I just found out that local legend "Shakey Bob" is not dead!

Probably the most insane bureaucratic encounter I had was getting a marriage license in NYC.

So many memorable moments. When we finally got to the counter it was quick and efficient but damn the 2hr wait was a high order freakshow.

Yes. Basic precautions are nice to know but I really don't need instructions for putting a Faraday cage in my in inflatable frog suit.

This timeline sucks.

Would be nice to know the plates on that SUV. I'm trying to avoid a confrontation with lawless masked gunmen.

Interviewed for a job. 🙏 wish me luck.

Miriam Makeba cover of Buffalo Springfield "For What It's Worth" is pretty sweet.

Bad lines being drawn. A man with a gun over there, telling me, I got to beware. The man come and take you away.

This song aged really well, unfortunately.

I am not trying to convince anyone. No point.

But when I see professional/habitual doubters on certain dubious topics (UFOs eg), I see the same tactics/fallacies/aggression as those I know are 1000% wrong on other topics.

Agent NaN @thaxter.bsky.social · 2d

Topics that always attract "skeptics" that I know from personal experience that you should never trust:

- female ejaculation (it's not pee)
- severe autism (there are people "in there" even if they don't have tools to communicate to *you*)
- anything not materialism

I know he died but when do I get to meet Sun Ra?

I asked Grok an odd question in geometry. It failed to understand the question, even when I de-generalized and when I kept pushing it with simpler questions, the hallucinations exploded.

AI is not impressing me so far. It may have good uses but... this bubble collapse is gonna be nasty.

Agent NaN @thaxter.bsky.social · 2d

Other AI bullshit news, Grok failed to understand a fairly simple (if unusual) question of geometry and the more I sharpened by query, the more it hallucinated—when it wasnt just showing me vaguely related scraped images

I am in Maine, USA.

Beating the algorithm by shitposting in between really unique and intelligent stuff.

Ok I am not beating the algorithm but I hit it with a stick and it feels like a win.
