world series: dodgers white sox. dodgers in 4. everybody screams and pounds their fists on the floor. you tank, you build the right way from the bottom up, and still you have no chance. no baseball in 2027. i smile and smile and smile

to me the most startling detail here is the 18 kids who straight up dropped the class when they found out there would be a real test. points to the existence of a not only viable but well-trodden path thru undergrad where you never take a real test

[Paul Graham @paulg]

A Brown professor gave his students a take-home midterm exam. After suspecting many cheated using AI, he made the final in-person. The orange dots are the midterm scores and the gray dots are the final scores. Looks like all but 3 cheated on the midterm.

there’s a guy on the korean team named hans castorp???

if you buy what hunter biden is selling on this app you are automatically a stupid person

surely the internet was not supposed to be like walking through a crowd and constantly slapping away a thousand hands trying to invade your pockets.

[Sandy Kinsock @SandyKinsock]

the inundation of scams, slop and ads on all communication platforms is insupportable. it’s crazy how comfortable people are wasting your time, how brazenly they can look you in your digital eye and say “you are a pig to me, you exist only to give me money”

@no_earthquake @wife_geist thought stolen from the privacy of my brain! in the past i have described fandom rages about queerbaiting as “slamming the doll of the self into the closet repeatedly”

@rskhm__ @Sturgeons_Law but also, to a real extent, that kid is in fact isolated. the battle needs to be fought to get them real-world care and acceptance, instead of just trusting that discord will make them happy

[Sandy Kinsock @SandyKinsock]

@rskhm__ @Sturgeons_Law i do not agree with any of the policies that attempt to prevent such kids from accessing info and fellowship, but that’s not the same as comprehensive dereg for social media, holding meta harmless for predatory algos, allowing kids to use it in class, etc.

[Sandy Kinsock @SandyKinsock]

one of the torturous (for me) but very salutary (for society) downstream effects of this mess appears to be that people are feeling considerable pressure to articulate their aesthetic ideas in the most explicit terms

[Sandy Kinsock @SandyKinsock]

intrigued by the way the ai disputes of recent years have emboldened fan fiction people to stake out a claim for their chosen writing practice as some sort of sacred fucking artistic endeavor

[Sandy Kinsock @SandyKinsock]

what are people actually referencing when they speak so off-handedly about cultural fragmentation? i am running my hands across the surface of the cultural bowling ball and i can discern nary a fissure

[Sandy Kinsock @SandyKinsock]

you live in a western conference dominated by these actually sickening to look at physical freaks with 20-foot wingspans. thunder spurs so defensively monstrous it’s changing the league in real time. and you’re like buuhhhh we have shot creators. you’re drooling on your pants

[Sandy Kinsock @SandyKinsock]

i wish i could get anybody in my life to understand how disgusting my beloved lakers have become in the 2020s

[Sandy Kinsock @SandyKinsock]

like reaves and doncic by comparison. reaves is so good. but they’re completely fucking redundant. there isn’t two basketballs for them to simultaneously have. the whole thing’s utterly pointless
