I love critical theory, I love seminars, I love reading groups, I love universities as public goods, I love historiography of disciplines and knowledge itself, I love difficulty and difficult questions, and I love the humanities being human. And that's the hill I die on.

The median academic is actually just a perfectly normal person. They teach nursing at the University of Central Arkansas.

Academics, don’t say anything.

At Meta you get to take "re-charge" every five years. It's effectively a 1 month sabbatical. Just took mine (after 6+ years). Best perk ever.

I was trying to think the last time I have gone 1 month without a job and I think it was summer after 6th grade. It's been some 25+ years.

I cannot overstate how good it felt.

Anyways, back to building! Tons of cool stuff in the pipeline.

Pretty sure this ad belongs on the « heteropessimism » syllabus. There are some deep chasms of loneliness, contempt and laziness indicated here that digital personal assistants can only fill in a « Pyrrhic victory » sense.

I have Breaking News from the NYT notifications on for ONE reason and ONE reason alone and this is certainly not fucking it.

I love how TSA rules are different at every airport and they look at you like you're a fucking idiot when you don't speak their regional dialect of security theater.

The smartphone really revolutionized the waiting room. Oh I get 20 minutes to look at my phone? Don’t mind if I do. The only problem is sometimes when I’m looking at my phone at home my home starts to feel like a waiting room and I realize it is and I’m just waiting to die

I signed up for the presale but then I remembered her fans are like this and I can’t be bothered.

God, nobody complaining about the no-phone policy of Phoebe Bridgers' tour is over the age of 22 huh

Hearing that all would be well in the humanities if we just pursued the Truth

@BarryPierce Can someone please explain to me what is going on beneath his belly button in the first pic?
