i’m duly impressed that y’all know latin phrases or whatever but the pope discourse this week is giving me the creeps. like maybe (probably) i’m a buzzkill but i don’t think it’s harmless fun to engage uncritically with the christo-fascist fandom while christian nationalists are actively […]

so i was at a Broadway show last night and Kamala Harris and her husband were also in the audience. she was super sweet and took time to chat with everyone during intermission. i didn’t brave the crowd to go say hi (what would i even have said to her?) but it was exciting all the same, and today […]

The Rolling Stone article doing the rounds has all the horror stories I've been afraid were going to happen in the interaction between LLMs and people without the ability to critically analyse the limitations of LLMs, except the scariest one of all: what happens when politicians start […]

on the one hand i’ve figured a bunch of stuff out in Blue Prince and am enjoying it more. on the other hand, the inability to save mid-run is actively destroying my sleep schedule, and by extension my life 💀 literally pushing through can-hardly-keep-my-eyes-open exhaustion and giving myself a […]

well Blue Prince has its moments but is also very frustrating, and it also just crashed on me and i lost an ENTIRE day. mostly i’m enjoying the puzzles but not at all enjoying the mechanics that surround them, and not being able to save and quit midday is a major offender there 😡

it’s so strange that we live in a time where we are all public figures to some extent. i’m just thinking about the fact that myself and so many of my colleagues basically prepared a public statement about being laid off. idk i just find that kind of fascinating, because mostly i think of you all […]

just wrote the farewell post i never thought i'd write. after over 11 years, i was part of the 16% laid off by Automattic a couple weeks ago. as the dust settles, i mostly feel gratitude for being part of the journey, and for getting to work with some of the smartest and kindest people i know […]

I usually don't share stories about individual crimes in the subway because they tend to promote the idea that the trains aren't safe, but I will make an exception for this one, truly one of the most remarkable "only in New York" stories you'll read this year. Each paragraph better than the last.
