Guess who has two thumbs and a Nature Human Behaviour paper accepted! That’s right, it’s me! I’ll link and do a little explanatory thread when it’s been published but it’s on the Chinese playtime limits and what effect they had on playtime! It’s with my good friends working with me on the Future Virtual Economies project at York, SDU and wherever @LeonXiaoY calls his home these days 😂

What’s with this pervasive, all-consuming obsession with poutine?

It’s like every restaurant I visit is hell-bent on serving a thousand variants of this dish. Bacon poutine, miso poutine, chocolate poutine, tofu poutine… the list is unending, and frankly, it’s gotten way out of hand. You can’t even escape it when you go for brunch! They’ll sneak a poached egg onto it and call it breakfast poutine. Is nothing sacred?!

I get it, I really do. Poutine is a comfort food. It’s familiar, it’s filling, it’s savory and indulgent and people go gaga over it. But really, is it THAT good? Does every single dish need to be a riff on poutine? It’s like chefs have collectively forgotten there are other ways to serve potatoes! Mashed, fried, baked, scalloped – these are all valid, delicious options. Yet, we’re stuck in this purgatorial poutine pandemonium where culinary creativity has been stifled!

And let’s talk about the absolutely unholy concoctions some places are serving up in the name of poutine innovation. Chocolate poutine? What heresy is this? Who woke up one morning and decided, “Yes, let’s combine french fries, gravy, cheese curds, and chocolate. That sounds like a good idea.” Is there no line? Have we lost all sense of taste and decency?

Moreover, don’t even get me started on the health implications. Cheese, gravy, fries - that’s not exactly a heart-healthy diet. And no, slapping tofu on top doesn’t magically make it a health food. That’s like sticking a single carrot on a triple-layer chocolate cake and calling it a salad.

It’s become a challenge to find a restaurant that isn’t strangled by the omnipresence of poutine. It’s almost as if chefs are too afraid to deviate from the norm, too timid to venture beyond the established, greasy paths of poutine glory. I’ve had enough! Can we please explore some new territory in the culinary world? Can we possibly come up with other creative, delicious meals that don’t include soaking fries in gravy and cheese?

I don’t need to see any more hipster bars trying to outdo each other with the most outrageous poutine variant. I don’t want to live in fear that my favorite desserts might one day be infiltrated by this poutine madness. So here’s my plea to all the restaurateurs out there: It’s time to let go of the poutine reigns. Embrace variety. Embrace originality. For the love of food, set the poutine free and let us enjoy a diverse, poutine-less menu!

Vermoeiend. Ik moet ineens in woorden uit gaan leggen waarom ik iets geen goede code vind.

"Hoe weet u dat"
"Dat voel ik"

Ugh, na drie jaar vakantie in Nederland merk ik hoeveel rust het "Fietsers Welkom"-keurmerk geeft. Hebben deze Britse campings een plekje voor ons! Vast wel! Maar misschien niet! We gaan het meemaken! Of niet! #stress

Posted about Pride and our Diocesan booth yesterday. Got a bunch of attacks as a result. Blocked and reported them - but realized I could have saved myself the trouble by posting “unlisted" rather than “public”.

Having this fine grain control over how your posts are distributed is not something that was present on Twitter. I'll need to retrain myself going forward.

Normally we do a monthly #VulvaDiversity thread, but this month we're going to do something a bit different because it's #CervicalScreeningAwarenessWeek: we're going to look at cervixes, and how they change throughout the cycle and after some life events...

The idea that LLM fiction could suffice for entertainment or that LLM written news articles (which would require much more guidance than the fiction, assuming we want to produce, well, mostly true news) could make do for your daily check in on what’s happening in the world— is disturbing since it assumes nothing will ever be created or happen that goes beyond the basic established categories for stories as we know them. It’s fundamentally conservative.
