Rory Solomon (now at the new place)

All views expressed here are my own and don’t represent those of my employer, but working together we can change that

@fstflofscholars That's so kind of you to say, and it's reciprocated. I often think back fondly to my MCC days. (That said, I could take my lumps if the joke had been the meaning 🙃)

@rorys I don’t roll like that—it was born from an “oh, I really miss reading with Rory” feeling—sincerely and deeply felt.

This is one of those little things I used to say a lot and I let it fall off. A little gratitude for some training in math and logic. I think time to bring it back.

@fstflofscholars (Unless this is a joke about my seemingly preferred grade during my time at MCC. And if so, touché)

@rorys Could it also involve Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorem? 😉

@fstflofscholars To say no would only be to include it by other means

Just a slightly sadder version of what I’ve been observing for a while x.com/rorys/status/1…

@kimmonismus AI has been an area of computer science research for at least 50 years

Three years in the era of AI. Three years.

@ChaletMocha @ryjlocal @PerryALPHA I guess you really don’t know how to party

@ryjlocal @PerryALPHA I somehow saw these idiots in concert THREE times and I hate them like poison. Downsides of living in Boston in the early 2000s

Before 2008, you could be a full-time member of a hit ska band and never have to sing or play an instrument.

The New School has been a beacon of critical inquiry and social justice for over a century, thanks to the labor, talents, and dedication of its renown faculty, workers, and students. 
 
I strongly urge @TheNewSchool to immediately extend the deadline for faculty to consider proposed separation packages, to engage collaboratively and in good faith with its workers, to protect the courses and programs that make the New School a globally renowned institution and work to ensure that its legacy endures for decades to come.

@Pinboard … or enable people in this country to afford food & healthcare.

It's an incredible situation when two private American companies can do this, but we can't return to the moon

@excelduru Muffin but they call her Miffie which is a reference to mom’s grandma who was named Margaret but went by Miffie and everyone likes to talk about how the dog has her personality

I need a dog name that sounds like it comes from a wealthy family!

@jendziura @david_perell I saw this. Beautiful piece

@david_perell The Brooklyn Botanic Garden celebrated some sort of bonsai anniversary by showing an informational video about bonsai from the '70s. I was shocked by the vocabulary level and solemn, poetic metaphors. We live in idiotic times.

I think about this YouTube comment almost every day

Seeing Curtis Yarvin tweet is like if you watch a horror movie that sets up this mysterious evil villain, and then at the end of the movie comes the grand reveal… and it’s just Alf. And you can’t help but laugh and also feel a bit let down. That’s it??

@danzeeeeman I like my API calls to vibrate at middle-C or higher

Brah if your UI thread sleeps for 200ms you’re doing it wrong… min spec are 120 hertz or faster

@danzeeeeman He'll tell you he does, but he's arranged his work so it can be done from the pool or golf course & entails barking orders at underlings who he's demanded RTO

of course a CEO would says we gotta work a 996 schedule....but does he?

Gistorical Materialism

@ranjodhd Apropos image given that this genius has a brilliant explanation for how Homer Simpson was able to own his own home: youtube.com/watch?v=hXr8FF…

And people want these guys to fund libraries, universities, and museums...

@PhillyAlB @dieworkwear Nicely done

@dieworkwear Survival of the best fit

that's right

@dieworkwear I wonder how much you got paid for this You seem like the kind of person whose values & commitments might warrant disclosing

"Are you wearing th—" "The Tecovas x Chili’s cowboy boots made from Chili’s booth leather? Yeah, I am."

@ajbauer I wonder how often Posobiec engages in direct phallocentric communication

Happy pride, y’all!
