My first HR fic! Snow Job, a.k.a. the one where Hayden comes to the completely wrong conclusion about what Shane is up to. (Can't stop won't stop writing fics where characters have ridiculous misunderstandings.) archiveofourown.org/works/93841841

watched MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE tonight and it’s so cool that stephen king can more easily imagine a theory of mind for an 18 wheeler truck than a human woman

If the use of AI in signage and packaging continues apace, eventually we're going to reach a bizarre place where the most trustworthy products are the ones that look like this
A can of "Gentle Giant" dog food, which looks like it was put together in Photoshop by a Boomer having a manic episode

All my friends have ADHD which means they're always late to things, but it works out well because instead of getting annoyed that I'm the only one who shows up on time I just feel slightly less flaky in comparison

As a former pretentious little shit who grew out of it, rationalists (et al) annoy the piss out of me because they are adults with the mentality of tweens - they are somehow still convinced they are the greatest geniuses who have ever walked the earth. It is the worldview of an arrogant baby.

I think it's fine to bring an iced coffee to a job interview as long as you also bring a coaster so it doesn't sweat all over the table

At the DMV. Old guy starts up a conversation with a college student. "Where are you from?" "Singapore." "Singapore has some of the most beautiful women in the world. When I was in Vietnam there were dancers..." Me: immediately starts looking for a way to jump in and change the topic of conversation

I went to the Illinois State Fair this year and there was SO MUCH AI-generated signage. Not just at food stands either, but at like the department of public health tent. It was a real bummer!

Revisiting this perfect little poem by Emily Dickinson
Tell all the truth but tell it slant -
Success in Circuit lies
Too bright for our infirm Delight
The Truth's superb surprise
As Lightning to the Children eased
With explanation kind
The Truth must dazzle gradually
Or every man be blind -

the concern with the Arday story isn’t the fact of the media coverage, it’s the volume. it’s perfectly reasonable that there would be some coverage of the story, and basically indefensible that there was as much as there was.

I feel like I should maybe be concerned that kindness is so far down the list but I guess at least I was honest? 🤷‍♀️
I have bravery and justice and am lacking in integrity, patience, kindness, perseverance, and determination
