people keep asking what we want tim walz to do and i just think back to 2024 where 65 year old congressmen in korea were breaking into federal buildings and fighting armed servicemen to stop a coup attempt. all we get over here is tweets.

The frozen streets of Minnesota are the Vietnam of the ICEstapo. Unfamiliar and hostile terrain, uncooperative natives. A quagmire.

In 2025, you cannot take a photo on your iPhone without removing 5 layers of AI-edited post-processing, but on the other hand you can use the touchpad on your mac to weigh cocaine.

You win some, you lose some.

@CruiseNorwegian Why am I learning that two guest services agents used my onboard credits to pay for a service without my authorization to do so and are saying it will take 2 weeks to refund

My computer science college professors used to look down on programming -- it's too volatile to deserve formal education (new paradigms and languages come out all the time).

Instead, we did all kinds of theory: types, probability, queuing. Back then, it felt anachronistic and smug. Today, it feels like solid ground in a swampy AI world. The professors were right, and probably didn't even know how right they would be.

Universities are not meant to optimize for a fancy X bio today, but for a lifelong career.

Also, I can't wait for the credential arms race to be over. Universities should attract the intellectually curious, not the success-motivated. Newton didn't discover gravity under that tree in front of Kings College in Cambridge to get a job at OpenAI.
