Americans talking about Milei are still going on about inflation or whatever when the current thing is that his flat earther ex girlfriend is teaming up with a guy who got plastic surgery to look like an elf to blackmail JM with videos of him having a mental breakdown while naked

What I'm interested is the nature of this weirdness. How can it be true that while it can answer questions that most college graduates can't, it can't answer questions that most children can? How can you not think this is interesting? Why would you want to ignore this question?

my therapist gave me this and said, "that's you"

I know it’s a cliche at this point but when people say as consolation “you have no control over what the committee wants/sees/etc” it’s impossible to underestimate how deranged the conversation becomes in those rooms. YOU are almost certainly not the reason you didn’t get the job

The infuriating part is that we already know how this goes: any proposal to build more hotels to fix NYC's dire hotel room shortage will be rejected as "you just want it to be easier for rich travelers to get a room." With no reflection on *why* only rich people can visit NYC.

“Roads are safe enough already…”

Basically all these cities have temperatures in the high 90s or hundreds for several months each year, with the exception of Irvine which only builds so much housing because the city is literally owned by a developer. Absolutely disastrous urban planning.

A police officer in NYC faced demotion and retaliation from higher-ranking cops because he was ticketing drivers that have "courtesy cards" issued by police unions that normally let drivers get away with violations, and now, taxpayers have to pay him a $175k settlement.

If any Pittsburgh oomfs want to see neon genesis evangelion tonight at Row House, I know someone with a ticket they can’t use

Sold out 😢

Urban progressives would generally prefer bad things happen rather then enforcing the rules

Philosophy twitter: what are some basic materials to read on whether, when people act morally, it's because they are applying bits of abstract moral theory (deontology, consequentialism, etc.)? I imagine there is robust debate on whether this is the case.

long dark teatime of the soul

My advice to new grads is to get an insane but often cushy lab management job in a small university town in Germany and chill out eating obscene amounts of kebab for a year

People in my mentions: Cyclists are just a small, vocal minority, and Chicagoans would be happy to see all bike lanes ripped out tomorrow. Chicagoans:

Is it just me or is the “RAG” research literature really… noisy with bad studies

Ah yes “Everything should be free” discourse again

only in California... someone is suing to stop a food bank from opening a new location because of a "historic parking lot" kron4.com/news/bay-area/…

Ok I will now glower less at the teamsters temple in my neighborhood (still some glowering though because they have a huge parking lot that is a waste and horrible heat island)

I’m in this graph
