Good point. Can’t think of any examples of technologies with unforeseen, far-reaching impacts on society that we can’t — no matter how much we might want to — roll back at this point. Not any recent ones anyway.

Batman just isn’t what he used to be. I can’t even remember the last time he threw a batarang in a perfect arc, incapacitating 3 opponents at once

A pet peeve that’s growing into a full blown grievance is people parroting the axiom “correlation is not the same as causation” in cases where there is clearly and undeniably a causal relation.

I knew suicide rates for Black youth have been rising, especially since the pandemic began. But this lecture by Dr. Benton highlighted many other facts I wasn’t aware of. Gonna share some for folks who are interested.

There's a big reality gap right now between people who are actively staying on top of COVID research & those who just trust the current guidelines. There's no judgment here, but I'd like to try to communicate the worldview of the former based on what we know about COVID now: 1/

Allistic NDs are built to cross worlds, to interpret them to each other. That’s a gift but also a burden & a responsibility. The pain of not fitting in to a hierarchy you feel but can’t perfectly navigate is acute. Allying with autistic people helps you appreciate your divergence

Not enough to offset the harm necessarily inflicted on the world to accumulate that sort of wealth in the first place.

On @IlhanMN, @RepJohnYarmuth, who is Jewish, says "A lot of my colleagues overreacted to her remarks." I asked him why he thinks he wasn't named in censure resolution, though he's been similarly critical of #Israel. "I'm neither Black, nor female, nor a #Muslim." #IlhanOmar

Pet peeve of mine is people misinterpreting the Schroedinger’s Cat thought experiment.

My favorite part of "queer is a slur" discourse is the absence of "gay is a slur" discourse.

The correct thing to do here is to stop explaining what I meant and thank them for the call-in. I gotta interrogate my biases seriously and consider what they’re saying, because it’s not a debate it’s them informing me that I caused harm.

Actually, it's GNU/Replicant. Replicant is just the body. The software running it is all GNU.

1. The fallacy of "seat at the table" is often decisions are made before the table meets. I know this because much of my career was controlling tables. The more people at any table, the more the real action goes elsewhere. Why? I'll tell you.
