We're not stopping with the Bears. We're heading to Cincinnati tomorrow to see how the Batesville Bengals sounds to them. We are Indiana. We are a football state. We are unstoppable.

I'm a connoisseur of dumb redneck shit and it's been years since something has impressed me. Don't let the flawlessness of its execution rob you of awe of its skill and danger.

Setting up a rival to Arxiv where AI slop is not just acceptable but actively encouraged: no censorship, no one to tell you your claims are obviously fake. a whole ecosystem of people outdoing each other with no quality bar to hold them back. it’s called LinkedIn

We are pleased to announce our new fast pass degree plan. For a premium, students can skip all those annoying classes, get a sheet of paper that says “degree,” and fast forward to graduation without any of the inconvenience of coming to campus or going to classes.

You are not the people. You are stupid slaves on the Epstein's menu of cruel cannibal elites. You are eaten, your brains are. It is why you watch Euphoria. Because all of you are perverts. Disgusting civilization. No reason to exist. Please, die.

I spent the weekend migrating my old PythonHumanities website from WordPress to a custom design (thanks, Claude) that allows for more flexibility, including live coding exercises in each page. I also updated things to make getting started with Python easier by using uv. Most of the content has remained the same, but I tried to expand it where it made sense.

I'm going to be posting more content, hopefully on a weekly schedule again. Like before, this content will be focused on the approaches I'm currently using in my work.

More soon!

The Oracle told Trump that if he should send an army against the Persians, he'll destroy a great empire, so I wouldn't worry about this too much.
