i practice ethical autocannibalism

how would you know if you thought that?

It’s a cookbook!

uh oh

Something about LLM hype culture renders a man immune to the experience of embarrassment. If I couldn’t tell the difference between PhD-level scholarship and grammatical gibberish I simply would not announce that to a global audience.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

clippy, should i drill a hole in my head so people can better see what i mean?
