Notes

So I visited Twitter.com directly for the first time in a while. It thought my primary feed should feature a politician remembering a preacher because I follow someone who follows him.

I don't want an algorithm managing my attention until it's at least smarter than a pig.

Thanks to the NLRB and James Damore for establishing that “ignorant, redpilling, self-important priviledgepricks” is not a protected group.

My favorite part of the splainweb is how a simple query like “does anyone like blueberries?” is met with paragraphs about how strawberries aren't really berries.

It's incredibly nice to lunch with an American friend and not discuss the current state of politics.

I love the odd satisfaction of “it works just like it did before!” when refactoring code.

With Belt and Road, China is expected to spend 7 times more than the US did with the Marshall plan.
