Tweet from Josh Denny
@JoshDenny
I’ll be 43 in a week. I’ve been mostly single for the past 18 months, and I’m just now realizing that my intelligence has ALWAYS been THE biggest issue in my relationships.

Not getting old, or fat; Not having professional failures. 

Look at dating site blurbs. No woman EVER lists high IQ or intelligence in their “wants” section.

Women actually DESPISE men of high intelligence.

It is their single greatest insecurity.Tweet from Josh Denny @joshdenny
Just emailed @chipotletweets. Thanks for ruining our day. Burrito bowl in the bag sideways=ruined $400 jeans.

definitely, and i don’t think the apathy that exists for the SNP amongst its likely voter is enough of a driving force for some voters to flip green (plus the added layer of the list system which can deter people)

we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

i have deleted tiktok as one of my new years resolutions. i am not placing blame on it entirely but i will say it short form content has undoubtedly made me (feel) stupider, particularly over the past year. what is more angering though is how aware i am of this “decline”

one thing you have to respect about traitors is that it has systematically destroyed the mystique of every profession. barristers, detectives, magicians, all frauds

eilidh @eilidh.bsky.social · 05/12/2025
do think it’s pretty appalling that employers can’t even send you a generic email to say your application is not being considered for interview. the hours that an applicant spends on a single application warrants that at least!
