@tobiaszowi @__femb0t Yeah I think your tear ducts probably provide extra connections even if not damaged, right? And at small scales there are probably vastly more, so I agree it's a different cup of tea!

@RFishBlueFish @davidshor this makes me feel less awful about it tbh, "Jews have too much power just like other white people" is a lot less pernicious than "I love Hitler actually"

@tracewoodgrains For the white nationalists following me because of this tweet, white people aren't oppressed and you have mistaken my comment for racial grievance I do not harbor, I love all the races

@norvid_studies One of my favs, Axiomatic is my favorite short story collection. I'm looking at his Wikipedia and realizing I've only read about half his books and collections, I need to get to work on that.

@DKThomp @davidshor I think some of the negative views here may be related to negative views towards whites among young people.

@tracewoodgrains I think this is related to anti-white attitudes among young people. I was also shocked by this Harvard-Harris poll result as well until I was how it compared how the results for Jews compared to the results for whites. The tw age curves here are similar

@evancotthem Awesome, I'll give this a listen! One of the artists in my list, Mdou Moctar, actually did get started on local West African file sharing networks like this, but I've never heard any other music from them.

@tracewoodgrains Very disheartening to see. It kills me then the y-axis goes almost all the way to 0 but not quite though so I fixed it

@natolambert We need a billionaire to buy 1000 H100s for each of the top 10 universities and have them compete to make the best models and training techniques for the prestige of their school.

@imitationlearn This is one place where BlueSky is way better, the open API access makes it easy to see things like who you most interact with using things like this:

Huun‐Huur‐Tu: These folks are just traditional Mongolian music and not fusion, but I had to include them as an honorable mention
