What kind of idiot can’t do that! Right?
being good at Twitter really has been like living in the future by a couple days in many respects – saved my partner and I from getting Covid early on https://t.co/OXSoMlPHCi

To Twitter’s credit, same here. It did give the feeling of living a bit in the future if you can wade through the bullshit.
I’ve had normies ask me, “How’d you know that two days ago? I’m just seeing that on the news now.” And the answer is some obscure (actual) expert on Twitter said it was gonna happen and they were right. People like Zeynep make you smarter faster than any other possible source.

If you ever wonder why many men get bitter about women, this is exactly why. No, I am not (far from!) an incel, nor am I excusing their actions. But I understand how someone could get that way.
Many, many women are absolutely obsessed with male height. It makes men’s breast obsession look like a minor diversion in comparison.
(Ugh, I think I’ve gotten worse at writing in English as other languages have bled over. There’s only so much one brain can hold. Ah well.)
I love it when vendors try to bullshit me on calls and during demos.
I’m like, do not cite the deep magic to me, witch. I was there when it was written. Man I always slam them down hard and they deserve it.
The first ten on today’s playlist:
The fuck-up wasn’t allowing Elon Musk to buy Twitter. No, the real fuck-up was allowing a company to control the flow of and dispensation of so much information and people being ok with that.
The reason I do not have a Twitter account is because I already didn’t want anything of mine in the hands of vulture capital firms and shady Saudi groups. All of you should’ve been concerned with that before 2010 rolled around when I first looked at Twitter and decided it was a big nope.
Twitter is and always has been a terrible company; it’s a company that should’ve been a protocol. And if it’s such a vital communications tool that hundreds of millions rely on, it should’ve been government-run. As usual, as they are prompted to, people get fed the propaganda and swallow it down without even attempting to think about it.
Most people want to be misled — and they nearly always get what they want.
Scientists: Humans can’t multi-task!
Humans: Do it every damn day.
What’s that about? And then scientists wonder why they are not trusted. There’s tons of examples like this.

Oh, she’s definitely a typical math whiz. Generally math whizzes are some of the stupidest people alive when it comes to anything else at all. Paul Erdลs couldn’t do anything on his own and he was one of the greatest mathematicians ever.
