Dave Lawrence trained a neural net to generate new names of BBC sound effects. Some of my favorites:
Approach of piglets
Footsteps on ice, ponderous, parakeets
Fairgrounds: Ghost train ride with swords
Man punting metal hand
Waterfall into cattle bread

I propose new #Hearthstone slang:
Leethal - n. Game-ending face damage pertaining to Leeroy Jenkins in-hand.
Example: “if I went face I would have Leethal next turn but then I’d just die to Leethal and this is a mirror match, so I better trade”
(Context: i won a game with Leethal after playing around a possible Leeroy from my opponent - which was necessary, not for Leeroy Jenkins, but their last-card Doomguard instead)
Awesome edutainment of the day: http://nandgame.com — spend a few hours making a CPU out of NAND gates. It teaches you about three quarters of my semester-long Computer Architecture class in a few hours, better than I learned it from the professor I had a partial language barrier with...

@frameacloud it’s like there’s a spectrum: eastern dragon -> western dragon -> pear-shaped dragons in kids’ cartoons -> hippo
the universe is an incredibly complicated system of things that interact according to the laws of physics. we are not just in the universe; we are of the universe and we are part of the universe.

note: if I say “take a chill pill”, which I never do, I am literally referring to acetaminophen, which dulls emotional pain as effectively as physical pain. Just watch the dosing and don’t use it too frequently so you don’t fuck up your liver, but it’s a good tool generally
It's amazing how much better I feel when I shave, even though there's no immediately cognitively-accessible reason for it. Subconscious dysphoria woo
I should rewatch MANOS The Hands Of Fate again. Or at least the puppet show remake, MANOS The Hands Of Felt.

No, I am not especially okay, but there is nothing to be done about it but to treat the symptoms and keep moving.
Welcome to everybody’s favorite game show, “Hairball Or Spider?”!

The USA needs a new 14th amendment that extends the Bill of Rights to adequately influential private corporations, and an amendment that explicitly recognizes privacy as a right and is considered part of the Bill of Rights for purposes of the 14th and the other proposed amendment.

@cons@lgbt.io I imagined a nipple-piercing-mounted shirt pocket and I flinched
Does anybody have recommendations for interactive college-level "learn stuff" sites that are _not_ video-centric?
