Dan Simpson @danpsimpson.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Christeene is the best there is. Here is a clip of her doing Tori Amos’s Sugar with Joanie Drago (show coming at the Parkside) and James on vocals and guitars and five other people out of shot. 182
Dan Simpson @danpsimpson.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Leaving aside any context, this sentence makes me want to eat my own face. 130
Dan Simpson @danpsimpson.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Falling asleep next to the ocean and dreaming that I had dinner with Mark Eitzel and he gave me a magical ostrich that produced 90s live bootlegs. 010
Dan Simpson @danpsimpson.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Not joking. The (checks notes) department at UNSW did not love this. 140
Dan Simpson @danpsimpson.bsky.social · 10/06/2026This was my twitter header for a long time. And then someone was like “hey you’re on the job makes you should change it” 010
Dan Simpson @danpsimpson.bsky.social · 10/06/2026Also surprise EoE draft was fun, even if I am bad at magic. 000
Dan Simpson @danpsimpson.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Pick a Bond villain from the photos you already have on your phone. 021
Dan Simpson @danpsimpson.bsky.social · 05/06/2026A long time ago I even wrote a post about how applied statisticians and people doing statistics in science are programmers and how we should accept that. It also had far and away the most unhinged conclusion I ever wrote (not screenshotted) statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2019/11/13/w... 0131
Dan Simpson @danpsimpson.bsky.social · 30/05/2026Every time someone turns 60 I give a talk. They get stranger and stranger the further I get from the material 070

Dan Simpson @danpsimpson.bsky.social · 25/05/2026The New York Times has broken new ground on how to refer to a papal encyclical 130
Dan Simpson @danpsimpson.bsky.social · 21/05/2026The thing is, this doesn’t quite work. Data is about what you measure and how you interpret it. By basically removing the first thing (throw it all in) and the second (interpretation without context or expertise) AI doesn’t even necessarily look backwards. 040
Dan Simpson @danpsimpson.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Sometimes i forget that i have a very different base of cultural references to my colleagues. I needed to give notes after a presentation. 040
Dan Simpson @danpsimpson.bsky.social · 02/05/2026I whispered in his ear “I will murder you in your sleep”. He said “I love you”. It doesn’t change my plans. 061
Dan Simpson @danpsimpson.bsky.social · 01/05/2026Saw my friend @alexhanna.bsky.social (in sharpie drag because commit to every bit!) and her co-host Emily Bender (who was glorious) tape a Mystery AI Hype Theatre 3000 podcast. Main topic was www.vox.com/future-perfe.... (Second photo is 3/4 of a short dnd campaign I ran [alert: boyfriend on main]) 1232
Dan Simpson @danpsimpson.bsky.social · 30/04/2026Truly one of the all-time great comedies. Italian Piñata will never not make me laugh. 1736
Dan Simpson @danpsimpson.bsky.social · 17/04/2026Goddamn it Reba. You knew I was going into preproduction for my unauthorised gay porn parody of Gypsy and the name “One Night In Tulsa” was spoken for. You knew it. 150
Dan Simpson @danpsimpson.bsky.social · 25/03/2026My dnd table asking “what if a beach episode but the beach is drama”? 010
Dan Simpson @danpsimpson.bsky.social · 14/03/2026The correct st Patrick’s day thing is a Sinead drag show. (Pictured, Charlene Incarnate doing No Man’s Woman) 010
Dan Simpson @danpsimpson.bsky.social · 14/03/2026The temptation to respond to these replies with “gaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy” is huge. 120
Dan Simpson @danpsimpson.bsky.social · 19/02/2026I won’t say the whole story is as bad as the first paragraph, but the lack of any concrete details and the focus on omg these gays have sex is _wild_ 230
Dan Simpson @danpsimpson.bsky.social · 17/02/2026The gayest I ever managed in a journal was this. (A friend did “Clozapine is my favorite color” which is either faggier but less gay or gayer but less faggy and I don’t need to know which). Anyway. What was your best? 050
