Critics of library pseudoscience rave: A kinder, wiser version of the void • Haunting and feels vaguely macabre • Does not represent the views of his employer

God it’s got to be terrible to realize you hate computers but you’re in too deep now because you’ve never actually used a real computer until college
At Stanford, almost one in five undergrads now ends up majoring in computer science. At MIT, it’s 42 percent. CS is taking over academia, @ibogost writes, and its newfound power may corrupt: theatlantic.com/technology/a…

I'm always shocked how our undergrad interns have only used iPads and phones and are completely confused by a PC. I thought it was a one-off the first time it happened, but it is very much a 'thing'

Weird how all these military people in America I look up on LinkedIn are based out of this seaside town called “San Diego,” someone should look into this.

All anybody in America cares about is the fact DoorDash drivers don’t live chained to their cars to deliver subsidized McDonald’s fries for free anymore.

Please and thank you. We are also printing courtesy posters about removing back packs and not to put stuff on an empty seat. Another tip: equally spread out among train cars. We are seeing the most crowding in the first 2 cars. We are making announcements this morning.

Deliberative communication: 1.) Starts painfully succinct. 2.) Put actions and requirements before explaining them. 3.) Efusive formatting in bold, underline, and italic 3.) Users only respect the effort they think went into curation. Using default templates, nobody will read.

But honestly more platforms should be clearing out DM histories from their databases. Why do you want private data you're liable for that nobody is paying you to protect?

MAGA: Canceling student loans is immoral. This is why we need a Govt based on the Bible Deuteronomy 15: “At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts. This is how: Every creditor shall cancel any loan they have made.” MAGA: Not that part of the Bible #CancelStudentDebt

Honestly @Twitter has let this scam go on for so long that I’m starting to think they might be behind it!? It started hours after @elonmusk took over and hasn’t stopped since!

Word of the day, once more, is ‘nod-crafty’ (17th century): knowing the art of nodding your head with an air of great understanding, when you actually tuned out ages ago.
