It’s so frustrating to me that this is how we’re talking about the future of ai. Not regulations, not environmental impact, not ensuring they don’t become sentient. Just sci fi what ifs.

I always glitch when someone genuinely believes that having money = being good at something. Has Meritocracy Gone Too Far?

If you want to get really mad, read How to Hide an Empire. We started way too many of these wars.

I read Our Share of Night and then everything else by Mariana Enriquez that’s available in English so I say hyperfixate

Really makes you wonder why everyone only wants to talk about the male loneliness epidemic when it looks like we’re all doing bad…

Extra excited to turn down their requests for donations next time some poor undergrad has to call me about it!

I loved those at A&M but they were always off campus. Probably won’t be a problem for them either way?

70 hours of audiobooks about dragons that just make me angrier with every bit of canned dialogue and cliched plot point? Finished yesterday

The casual noticing a thing after making the effort to learn it! One of life’s little pleasures. I also love being the bestower of bird knowledge to my friends who haven’t done the learning yet.
