I wish it was common for groups of men to grow moustaches and then go swimming. Communion with the walrus is sadly a lost art in today’s youth

Knowing my luck my nemesis wouldn’t even be honourable about trying to kill me. They wouldn’t beat me in a fair physical contest they would just shoot me down in the street.

Unwise to call someone's failure to recognize a moth a "Humbert Humbert moment"

They fit switches in the up/down direction so you can remember if you “turned it on” i.e. gave it an erection. But what if your erection goes to the side? How will you remember if you left the lights on or off?

A game, fundamentally, is a thing that eats you. And once you are eaten it infects you with a desire to eat it in turn. This is obvious to me. This was obvious to Wittgenstein too, but he had his reasons.

Today has been hot. At one point, apropos of very little, I ran my tongue across the back of my teeth. They were warm in the exact way blood is warm. Sunlight has ways to make you sincerely nostalgic for being kicked in the face.

Every time I see this post I think about that study that was done on how cats recognize visual imagery. They weren't sure if they track by color? shape? outline? movement? So they did an experiment where they showed cats clips of birds or rodents, visually altered in various ways -- light-inverted? color swapped? upside down? stills? mocap? slowed down, sped up, stretched or warped? And they found that cats could continue to recognize videos of animals even when they were just a skeletal ball-and-socket model, so long as they still moved like the animal.

Cats can recognize animals by only their structure and their motion. I wonder if a cat would be able to see a cat in this, too?

I do think the ability to emoji-react is a net win for human communication. not only does it give you an outlet for 'I see and acknowledge this but don't have a verbal response' but it also adds a pleasing alethiometer element to things

my coworker announces that he's off to the dentist. someone reacts with a tooth emoji. is this a statement of dentist solidarity? a wish for my coworker to return with more (or fewer?) teeth than he set out with? simple word association? who can say

being as i am an idiot, and having been one my whole life, i just wanna say that i find it very easy to do nothing, and go nowhere. i eat chocolate late at night in the dark. i stand in the garden also. and i’m often waiting for something to happen. and i’m stupid.
