One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

In case you missed it, this was the Canadian Premier League final. And if the snow isn't enough, check out the goal. Really hard to deny we're the Great White North when this stuff happens.

People are always shocked when I tell them that Sam Altman is not, in fact, a data scientist
I keep beating this drum: the kind of people one thinks of as Silicon Valley "techbro" are so often finance people with an engineering cosplay habit, not actual technologists
Elon Musk was famously *never* a good coder and I can't believe he ever scienced a rocket either. But he craves that respect

the worst part is that for the people at the top "good at math"/sciencey is essentially a vibe one socially codes their way into by being minimally competent at informally discussing things actual math/science people do, unless (e.g.) Elon Musk has proven a theorem I didn't hear about.

I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it.
All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference.

I think it's important that Lest We Forget isn't just about the people who served & those who died, it's also about why.
And a whole lot of people have clearly forgotten.

Yes, some people's legacies are complicated. For example, Watson. After all, though he was racist, don't forget his other traits. For example, he was also sexist. And also anti-semitic. And a data / idea thief. So let's not forget all the different facets.

I'm reviewing a transcript from a business meeting with primarily German people speaking in English, and the tool recorded this one guy as saying, "Babe, moving on" several times. This is entertaining me.

VOICEOVER: in the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate, yet entirely opposite, groups: the police, who are afraid of sandwiches, and sandwich wielders, armed with food consisting of two pieces of bread filled with meat, cheese, and vegetables. these are their stories.

The Dodger’s may have won the World Series, but the Blue Jays have won the hearts of Canadians. They played with such joy, put everything they had into the game & supported & believed in their team mates. I hope that each of these guys know we are proud of every one of them. Go Jays! ⚾️🇨🇦
