There's actually a complex cultural math related to age that determines how many and what kind of beers (e.g., 45-35 = 3 IPAs)

[jainormis @jainormis]

god forbid a white boy has a productive day and rewards himself with 3-8 beers

Anyone who surfed the early web between 1995-2009, what’s the one website you still think about?

[Calloway Scott @CallowayScott]

@sentantiq And the answer is obviously yes and no

[Calloway Scott @CallowayScott]

@sentantiq This is, quite literally, the question that led me to take ancient Greek and eventually become a classicist

[Calloway Scott @CallowayScott]

I mean the Bourne trilogy proves pretty definitely that no, no he does not

[Today Years Old @todayyearsold]

Hollywood has spent nearly $600 million trying to bring Matt Damon home.

Have they considered maybe he just doesn’t want to come back?

[Calloway Scott @CallowayScott]

It quite literally is not.

[Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry @pegobry_en]

That analogy gets overused but this is literally 1984 shit. Erasing the past, replacing past works with degraded Newspeak versions and destroying the older version.

Astonishing that this is actually the first time I’ve seen this very obviously true statement here

[Susannah Black Roberts @suzania]

I think probably this is because AI has different proper applications in STEM fields than in the humanities.

[Jonathan Fine @jonathanbfine]

it’s really inspiring to see the collective response of humanities professors on twitter whenever an academic says something positive about artificial intelligence. it feels like getting the whole gang together again for one last hurrah before turning off the lights for good.

I’m sorry what

[Ron DeSantis @RonDeSantis]

RIP to one of the greats, but Redfield has this wrong I think!

[Nadya Williams @NadyaWilliams81]

RIP James Redfield. His "Herodotus the Tourist" article is one of the best things I've ever read on Herodotus. https://t.co/lIo6swb5Pk

This is the only, and I mean only, condition on which I will support continued construction of data centers
