stand up for trans people: it is the right thing to do and it just will not hurt you, not now, not in this environment and maybe folks can start to relearn that trans people are pretty fucking cool, actually

The idea that if there are two opposing viewpoints there must be middle ground is a category error.

Douglas Adams said it best: “To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.”

Innovators became rent seekers and are very aggrieved that they’re no longer treated like innovators. Sorry the public doesn’t see the world’s biggest companies and richest people pushing enshittified, mediocre, or damaging products as plucky start-ups doing exciting things. But whose fault is that?

A mosquito just tried to get me but I got it first and then I entombed it in sticky tape and will now bury it so that it survives for millions of years and future humans can bring back today’s humans and let them roam around a fenced park eating the tourists of the future. Life finds a way.

Hey. The fragmentation of the social media landscape has been hard on indie #scicomm 🧪 projects So if you'd like to follow a podcast that's enthusiastic about #linguistics, could you check out @lingthusiasm.bsky.social? And if you think your followers might like to, could you give this a repost?

Dear young men, I've been married to an amazing woman for nearly 23 years, now. Here is a list of things this person owes me: 1. Not a goddamn thing. Not food, not comfort, not sex. I'm in a relationship, not a fucking lease. We give to each other out of love, respect, and joy. Learn that.

Automated systems to which we delegate life or death decisions need to have SO MUCH REDUNDANCY because the cost of getting it wrong is so high. "Go fast and break things" attitudes are cute for code. Not cute for real life engineering.
