"I was very busy at work and did not have time to catch up on the latest 'Is this dick sick?' news" is an actual sentence that I said today.

Listen, I understand that people believe I exist in an endless state of incandescent rage, but they are going to have to invent new words for how angry I am about Glassdoor adding real names without users' consent.

@tstruthers I have exploded with anger. There is now a crater where my office used to be.

This website says you should send it a photo of your partner's penis and they will tell you if they have an STD, using the power of AI.

This is so misleading, inaccurate, dangerous, YIKES, that I assume it is an elaborate joke.

@gulovsen Given that you can absolutely have HPV without any visual signs on your genitals, I am now even more angry that this thing exists.

Of course @Mer__edith read this report and immediately noticed that it only covers US/Israel and ignores attacks against Palestine, even though Israel has extremely sophisticated capabilities in that regard.

People sometimes ask me how I choose what to research. This is a perfect example of the kind of signal that I use to guide my work. Pay attention to what DOESN'T get covered. This is where you can have the most impact.

The problem with traveling across Europe and looking at hundreds' of years of art until my head was brimming with it is that now I have Art Thoughts and people do not come to me for Art Thoughts.

@trisweb If you spend enough time around Barque art in Vienna, your teeth will begin to ache and you will start to understand why these people had to invent modernism while everyone was still wearing corsets.

@jimmyhoke I think that the Impressionists have long since become such a cliche that it is hard to sit down and look at them and really try to engage with them on their own terms. This is best done in person. Water Lillies made a lot more sense to me once I understood the sheer size of the canvases.

    Tech and policy people who do public speaking: do you use a speakers' bureau and do you have one that you would recommend?

    What are the pros and cons of going with a bureau or an agent?

    @mattblaze I resisted it for a long time, but then I saw men getting paid a lot of money for what I do for free.

    Someone has (accidentally, I think) sent about $1000-worth of wine to my house. I guess I'm drinking a lot of pinot noir this year.

    There are days when I stare at the amount of work that I have agreed to do and I want to light a match, set it on fire, and go live as a bog witch in the woods.

    I see that we are in for another round of "the US govt banning TikTok is good because I don't like TikTok" discourse, so it's a good time for me to be on vacation.

    Articles in which people with bad opinions complain at length that their bad opinions make it difficult for them to get laid demonstrate that at least something is still functioning properly in this dystopian hellscape.

    @mattblaze I suspect these people are also not good at sex, a pastime that requires interest in and attention to another person's desires.

    From an interview earlier today:

    "God, I hate that guy."

    "I promise I won't quote you."

    "Go ahead. He knows."
