If you're not drunk, you're not paying attention.

I don't "wet" Claude, I "whet" him - I get him nice and sharp, and then I stab him into the things I want to understand!

LEFTISTS: if you constantly and vehemently talk about AI slop as "the worst thing one could possibly post", then I *GUARANTEE* that conservatives and the alt-right will embrace it and post it even more. THAT'S HOW THIS WORKS

Grey market chinese peptides? No thank you. I'll stick to magenta market chinese pep-rallies.

There is nothing more dangerous than a reply guy with three beers in him. Seriously, name one single thing that's more dangerous than that.

I want an ugly little creature to show up at my door so I can take care of it. So ugly and repulsive that every time I look at it, I feel like crying out of pity. And there will be no solution to the problem. It will get worse every day. Only after many years will it die

I choose to remember the Icarus story as the story of an optimistic young boy who dreamed he could reach a star...

People complain about AI slop and sycophantic chatbots, but in ten years they'll talk about this moment the way people talk about the "golden era" of the early 2000s internet.

I was born in a cave, and I'll die in a cave!

Just as there are therapists who only have therapists as clients, when I die I plan to be a ghost who only haunts other ghosts.

@ZyMazza My new political party "The Good Guys" is raising a lot of questions already answered by our party name.

John Waters once said "If you go home with somebody and they don't have books, don't fuck them"....but what if *all they have* is books? Just stacks of books and a mattress on the floor? That seems like a toss-up. Maybe fuck them once, but don't make a habit of it.

Oooooh, I thought it said "sleuthcon" when I bought the tickets. Everyone seems to like my hat and pipe, though.

"Vibe-coding" is new, but "vibe-arguing" is as old as time.

You can be cynical and still be kind.

It's pretty sad that the folx at @MountainDew have never done a "give the devil his dew" ad campaign.

YCombinator? Why *not* combinator.

Being a pseudointellectual is the first step to becoming an actual intellectual. Always remember this.

Every once in a while I say, out loud, and in a firm and commanding voice: “End simulation”. Just in case.

I'm already exhausted in advance for the Barron Trump arc. Like, whatever it is, it's going to be exhausting. Will he come out as L, G, B, and/or T and become a Champion of the Woke? Does he get caught as a serial killer and somehow has a reality TV show from jail? Just ugh.
