I didn't need to lose an hour of sleep for this game. Thanks, Falcons. See you next week.

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

I like this app because it does not show me lots of ads. That's like 90% of the benefit for me, personally.

I got mad at this again and just emailed our local council member, who passed on this from GDOT: "...the contractor halted work waiting for 3 change orders to get processed and approved for unmarked drainage pipe that was discovered during construction and not in the plans. (cont'd)

... All change orders have recently been approved and as of this week the contractors have received permission to access the daycare property, which means they are about to get back to work. The completion date as of now is still October 31, 2026."

On a related note, I finally read "The Forever War" recently, and it really ate Starship Troopers' lunch.

Throw in some Cold War hysteria and the long, problematic shadow of John W. Campbell, and baby you got a strange, horny stew going.

Saw some Robert Heinlein discourse pop up, and want to remind folks that his views are deeply weird and contradictory, more than coherently right-wing or libertarian. Starship Troopers is authoritarian, TMIAHM is libertarian, and others are all clumsily progressive re: race, gender, and sex.

There's a metaphor in there about being really strong for a few minutes vs. working long enough to run a marathon.

Was flying out of Philly a month ago and learned that you can get a flight from Philly to Wilmington, DE My guess is that it's primarily a leg for people flying from further away to DE and it stops in Philly.

The end goal, such as there is any real business goal, is to become the "standard" in some way. Anthropic needs Claude to become as standard for software development as JIRA or whatever. That's about it, and that's still a space that's never lacking for upstart competition.

President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho at least knew when to replace an advisor with a more knowledgeable subject matter expert, then listen to that advisor in relevant matters.

Are the Falcons looking to win the "Best Team with a Garbage QB" award this season? That's my best guess, but I have no idea what record they'll end with. (Apologies for making you think about the Falcons)

There's no shortage of current mayors that can't even manage that normal stuff in other cities. The bar is low, but the rest of us yearn for a half-decent mayor

No, Artificial Intelligence Is Not Conscious
Taken to its logical conclusion, this line of thinking is absurd—and damning.

My hot take is that we should abolish the advertising industry as we know it. Outside of trade shows and catalogs, which people explicitly opt-into, advertising should be banned. No billboards, no banner ads online, nothing. Yes it would completely upend the internet, I'm not hearing a downside.

One of the many fascinating details in The Big Lebowski is The Dude's large poster of Richard Nixon bowling. I think about it often. Layers and layers of possible irony.
