the moon is a place you can go

so are all the planets, and all the stars: just takes a bit more work

I have eaten the human capital

to make more civilization

@peligrietzer I was going to raise Violent Femmes but it's not exactly morally and spiritually decent

@julianboolean_ @the_aiju > In LaTeX, the "\ " control space after the period in abbreviations inserts normal interword spacing and prevents the larger default sentence-ending space.

actually kinda valid tbh. I'd get the ick too now that I know this

Art Nouveau and the Vienna Secession have officially stolen my heart <3

Some photos from a recent trip to Paris, these from the Musée d’Orsay in particular.

[Xavi @xavicfu]

@noahbradley Seconded, it's particularly strong for Art Nouveau

@PrinceVogel ikr, happens to me biweekly

@psychiel Nice, thanks I'm convinced now. Seems like we have an overactive human face-recognition module (didn't know that about eyebrows, neat fact!)

[Xavi @xavicfu]

@psychiel *is automatic

[Xavi @xavicfu]

@psychiel In fact the one case was a successful Reddit post that said bike seats look like horse or dog faces, which suggests people don't notice animal faces

Pareidolia automatic enough that I thought it would be deeper than just human faces. Perhaps not

@bouguereau_stan holy banger

@yudhister I need a natural language food tracking app that polls for satiety and builds this automatically

… and I’m realising nowadays this functionality is achievable with Codex or equivalent plus an hour of configuration, and could be much better than the recommended defaults

[Xavi @xavicfu]

baked beans are officially on the Pareto frontier of protein/g, satiety, and g/calorie

to all haters of proper British cuisine, I will be taking handwritten apologies sent by post only

@LydNot also note that lawyers have tacit knowledge of how the law works that is different from what you can read about https://t.co/FGMAGG2DXT

[Ben Landau-Taylor @benlandautaylor]

Literally every time someone suggested I or a friend consult a lawyer, the idea wasn't "They can interpret the law's text", it was "They can tell you what actually gets prosecuted in practice." Because we're living under arbitrary rule of bureaucrats and judges, not rule of law.

@PseudoAeschines give the british humanities students any job at all and trust me they’ll come in droves
