I will tell you why I think the split-toe derby is the greatest dress shoe of all time. 🧵

@babyofthevoid honestly i'd just keep eating it after reheating but i have a stomach of iron and no fear. unless it's seafood or something. most other things overnight are actually fine in my experience and i've lived to this ripe old age so...

PhDs are awesome because they’re either “I will provide a slightly different interpretation of a slightly interesting book” or “I will revolutionise the theory of mind and disprove God”

@babyofthevoid réussi!!

Universities: “we are committed to social, cultural, and moral service”

Also universities: “we are replacing our philosophy, ethics, history, and literature departments with an expanded business/crypto double major”

Write an ambitious to-do list and if you fall short, just push the tasks into the next day. Tomorrow I’m completing 7500 days of tasks

Students, don't let ChatGPT take your over-the-top intro sentences from you. "never in human history...since the dawn of time...Oxford dictionary defines..."

They're florid, trite, and PRECIOUS

@babyofthevoid i've been in both my local ERs a *lot* over the last decade supporting others, who have often been harmed worse than had they just not gone in. It's possibly enough to turn you away from your chosen profession. But you clearly did the right thing; this is not on you.

@PierrePoilievre It's amazing to see you post this.

The steepest decline on that chart is the Harper government which you were a part of.
