I finally got around to creating some lists here on Mastodon:
- Internet royalty
- Embalmed persons
- Those who are highly trained
- Those who use the word "octothorpe"
- Strays
- Members of the Antimemetics Division
- Those included in the present classification
- Those who shiver as if they are cold
- Those who are not countable
- Components of group minds
- Others
- Those who have just broken a cherished coffee mug
- Those who from a long way off look like punctuation

@nasser They’re much easier to get down with a little water or milk anyway.
I’m a simple man and I like maps that look tasty. https://famichiki.jp/@natronics/111700468901400706
@aegir Surely they do this on purpose.
– Added a nav element
– with an RSS link.
– More than doubled the minimalism.
– Slightly better about page.
– Still needs a posting tool and a rewrite of the generator.
@kingrat 2024 is the year of saying what I think all the time! It’s going to be wonderful!
You think I’m off on my weird hobbyhorse again but I assure you this is already doing big numbers on early modern Netherlandish Mastodon. All the most respected scholars of critical tulip studies are starring it.
“The tulip mania is an irrational speculative bubble that will collapse because tulips are not actually beautiful; beauty happens in the soul, you misguided fools, therefore tulips are actually very ugly, QED” I write in Antwerp in 1635.
My kingdom for a web font that I like and that has italic small caps.
Think through your arguments before you hit send, you cowards.
I wish I wish I wish we could see a few more commentators able to say that (1) we are getting exploited, railroaded, and played by the usual forces of capital in a whole new way here – without coupling it to the, to me, extremely extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemmmmmmmeeeeeeeellllyyyyy bad/evil take that (2) the only real thing in the world is a kind of truth that physically resides in the heads of Homo sapiens.
I can’t come to dinner yet, babe, I’m pattern-matching that this is a tech hype bubble and then regurgitating the kinds of things people say about tech hype bubbles with only a symbolic-level understanding in order to own the LLMs.
Three (3) times today I have hopped on Mastodon and 3 (three) times I have seen a different version of exactly the same thing: a solid economic take on why the vampire squids hyping “AI” are terrible coupled to a wildly underthought to borderline incoherent philosophical/technical interpretation that the good critique didn’t even depend on. Twice this happened and then one more whole separate time.

72 h backward trajectories for northern Jutland and Falster, respectively, explain the huge temperature difference observed momentarily in Denmark. Snow storm in the north and lots of rain in the south.
