GUYS I JUST SAW THIS ON TWITTER AND I AM DYING

Praying for killer outfits, straight A’s, good sleep, and a consistent workout routine this school year

A LANNISTER ALWAYS PAYS HIS DEBTS

I cannot overstate how much I love Tom Lehrer's story. It sounds so fake but is entirely real.

He's a goddamn genius- he started studying mathematics at Harvard when he was 15 and graduated magna cum laude. He worked at Los Alamos for a few years before being drafted and working for the NSA, where he claims to have invented jello shots to get around alcohol bans.

He then went back to Harvard for a couple years before starting to teach political science at MIT.

Through all of that, he was writing and performing both some of the funniest shit you'll ever hear (Poisoning Pigeons in the Park, Masochism Tango) and absolutely scathing political satire (Who's Next, Wernher von Braun, Send the Marines). Until the mid/late 60s counterculture gained momentum. He didn't like their aesthetic, so he stopped making music.

Shortly after, he moved to California and started teaching math and musical theater history at the UC Santa Cruz for the next 30 years.

I don't know if non-Californians understand just how goddamn funny that is. It's where stoners and math (and now computer science) kids who couldn't get into Berkeley go. Leaving Harvard/MIT for UCSC is peak academic phoning it in. And by all accounts he had a blast.

Plus the whole putting all of his music in the public domain thing. That fucked.

we should globally ban the introduction of more powerful computer hardware for 10-20 years, not as an AI safety thing (though we could frame it as that), but to force programmers to optimize their shit better

My deepest darkest fantasy is that I collapse on the street and I am rushed to the hospital. They perform a bunch of tests and find out I am severely deficient in some kind of vitamin. Then I start taking the vitamin and I become the happiest cleverest person alive because all my problems were caused by this one deficiency

I want it can I have it please lol

I want a Raven!Neil story but it's not that Neil is trapped in the Nest with Riko; Riko is trapped there with Nathaniel. I want a Nataniel who manipulated mansplained manwhored himself into the top dog of the team, who will bitch at Tetsuji then put his money where his mouth is. He's allowed to get away with it because Kengo is above stickball and Ichiro is a Butcher fanboy and thinks the little menace is hilarious.

24/7 obsessed and endlessly fascinated by sidney crosby. he is a freak. i love him. i hate him. i hope he has access to consistent therapy. he is both endlessly compassionate and ruthless in his desire to succeed. humble and won’t settle for anything but number 1. involved in everything and anything for the community as long as it’s to do with hockey. sexiest, rough, low voice that regularly squeaks hysterically when he’s yelling giggling or laughing

lowkey mad my current hyperfixation is just. this feral little fussy princess babygirl old man who does Sports.
