Wrong about a lot, pls correct me. DMs open. I mostly lurk, RT, & argue on this account. If you say “pronouns in bio” you’ve lost the argument. He/him 🏳️🌈

I have done nowhere enough threads to justify this but I thought I'd make a thread of my (good) threads to help me keep track.

Consider the 8 page conference paper. Perhaps the LaTex for the paper is 100,000 ASCII characters (a character set of 128).
I could brute force the entire space of conference papers, there are only 128^100,000 possible conference papers of this length.
So let’s just create them all. By Tobias’s “monkey dart” standard, there are almost certainly several brilliant papers in here. All of which should absolutely get published. But finding it ourselves is a lot of work. Maybe we just submit them all and let peer review decide what is actually publishable?
Congratulations, we re-derived why it’s not helpful when people spray and pray AI generated paper submissions.
Honest to god what do I care how the text for an academic paper comes about. It could be a monkey throwing darts at a board, if the resulting combination of letters conveys original insight, it should be published

This is why I'm going to keep banging this drum. We desperately need a federal law that protects people from these lawsuits.
You do not have freedom of speech if a thin-skinned censor like Taibbi can cash out your retirement fund with a call to a bad lawyer.

Anyway, I think of this as a classic modern British tale - Tory government legislates for something it barely understands; public bodies do that; everybody is unhappy.

If you decide to sign two critical election forms this differently, you ideally do not want them blown up on page 2 of the Daily Mail.

Last time my employer tried to fuck with me I sent two strongly worded emails and made one call. They immediately backed down. This time them fucking with me might just cost them over 24k

I might settle for less than that plus improving my working conditions but ultimately my employer did one thing you never do. In trying to fuck me they accidentally fucked the taxman and sadly he don’t like that

The combined tuition fees of the entire Question Time panel would not cover my cost for 1 year of uni.
Is that fair?

I’m the only person at my job who is in a union. Previously I’ve been pretty lowkey about it.
This week my employer has fucked me about massively.
So guess who is getting a whole ass union recruitment pack delivered next week.
The finding out stage for my boss begins now.

Also the bill is pregnant for some reason, which probably isn’t illegal, but feels like it should be

[1/3] Men's testosterone levels did not plummet over the past decade like many wellness podcasts would have you believe... we just switched the measurement assay from immunoassay to mass spectrometry
When we switched assays, we observed a ~100% increase in self-reported healthy men with low testosterone. The threshold needed to be updated when the assay changed.

Has the twitter algorithm been tweaked in a pro-natalist way? My ‘for you’ feed has a whole bunch of pro-pregnancy posts in it. Might just be a random fluke but also I wouldn’t be surprised if Musk is putting a finger on the scale given his views.

Wait. Now it’s okay that the government demands that a tech company delete something?
If memory serves, just a short time ago this very action was described in the most heated terms (and not entirely without reason) as a totalitarian violation of the right to free speech.

I’ve got it: What if we pointed out their hypocrisy? After we point out their hypocrisy, they’ll have no choice but to behave in a manner that is consistent with their purported values.

once we're firing people for snarking about the fact we're firing people for sharing things Kirk said in a critical light, we have reached peak something. hopefully peak hysteria.

Is this the famous right-wing commitment to free speech we hear so much about?
I’d say you should be free to mock any assassination—left or right—and let society judge you, not the state
11 Sep 2025
I’m going to use Congressional authority and every influence with big tech platforms to mandate immediate ban for life of every post or commenter that belittled the assassination of Charlie Kirk. If they ran their mouth with their smartass hatred celebrating the heinous murder of that beautiful young man who dedicated his whole life to delivering respectful conservative truth into the hearts of liberal enclave universities, armed only with a Bible and a microphone and a Constitution… those profiles must come down.
So, I’m going to lean forward in this fight, demanding that big tech have zero tolerance for violent political hate content, the user to be banned from ALL PLATFORMS FOREVER. I’m also going after their business licenses and permitting, their businesses will be blacklisted aggressively, they should be kicked from every school, and their drivers licenses should be revoked. I’m basically going to cancel with extreme prejudice these evil, sick animals who celebrated Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
I’m starting that today.
That is all.

With all due respect, even granting this as true it was Charlie and his organisation who would create these fake summaries and inflammatory video titles/social media clips
This is such a good point. If you actually watch Charlie’s events—as opposed to the fake summaries—they are one of the few places with open and honest dialogue between left and right. He would answer any question and talk to everyone.
