Induction this, deduction that. Why don't we talk about the real earth-shattering inferential method. Which is subduction.

I personally think the UN should adopt a different new map projection every five years. Keep everyone on their toes.

I mean, even if I contort my brain into that specific kind of WWE trash-talk pseudologic, I still think it's a bad move to put your team's name on a lake that's a member of a set that also contains 'Lake Superior'

Heard there was a sale on at the metaphysical store, so I went down to buy some gunk. Cashier said "sorry, we're all out. All we got in are atoms and void." "But hey" (he said, gesturing to the sale rack) "At least they're reduced"

I saw the Odyssey. Apparently Nolan has some thoughts about US foreign policy. Wish he had a few more about dialogue.

Every so often bluesky decides that I am in Texas and thus that I have to upload ID to continue. I have never been to Texas. And I am certainly not giving my driver's license to a website that can't even tell that I'm not in Texas

I will say this on behalf of the halftime show: if you had to do it, better to do it in a manner that was so eyewateringly tacky and American that no future host will ever try to pull that sort of shit again

I'll say this on behalf of this year's England squad: they produced two games I found very entertaining. Which is two more than any world cup in recent memory

I mean, it's philosophically fascinating that so much of this sport now turns on really sensitive judgements of intention. However, it's also clearly bullshit

On the one hand, it's been a bit of a rough week. On the other, my karaoke rendition of Randy Newman's 'Political Science' has never got a bigger reaction than it did on Tuesday.

Highlight of the CAN-FIN game today was my partner (philosopher but not hockey guy) coming out of his office as I was watching the game to ask why he kept hearing stuff about 'Brandom Hegel'

Obviously I never want Team USA to win a hockey game ever, but it would be pretty funny if the gold medal game was at a time that was maximally inconvenient for literally all of the relevant fans

How am I supposed to just have a normal day after that hockey game. I could feel the years coming off my lifespan.

It makes sense that so much of the focus is on Malinin (largest difference between expectation and result + US bias on this and every website) but I cannot overstate the degree to which almost everyone was fucking terrible today

I've been watching figure skating for a long time, and I'm not sure I've ever seen a bloodbath like that.

I know why this is the case but it is still remarkable to see people complaining about Bad Bunny (who is American) not being American enough for the super bowl when I didn't hear a word about The Weeknd. Or Rhianna. Or Shakira. Or Coldplay. They've had the Rolling Stones up there.

Yeah, see, there's a reason that most tournaments do a 'best of 7' for their finals. You're basically guaranteed at least one good game that way.

Ok, I'll admit that I haven't had time to follow the sport this year until now, but I'm not sure anything could have prepared me for how fucking goofy Ilia Malinin's long program is.

You know, the narrator in 'I've been everywhere' never actually specifies whether he's seen a road with as much dust and sand as the Winnemucca road he's currently on. He names many other roads he's been to, but doesn't make any ruling on their comparative dustiness or sandiness.

Winter is a great time to get some sewing done, but it comes with a caveat, and that caveat is what happens when you make a beautiful new white dress shirt - perfect for job interviews - put it on for the first time, and then immediately baptize it with the unmistakeable, indelible tinge of Dayquil

I've been sick continuously for about a month now. At first I thought that the reason was that I've had to do a bunch of non-optional travel while sick and that was delaying my recovery. But that's not true. It's because I've been too busy to watch Star Trek. You gotta watch Star Trek.
