Sometimes lacking an ability to pick up on social context is delightful. If someone says “wow that’s brilliant” are they sincere or being snarky? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I just assume I’m brilliant and carry on 💅🏻 If you want to insult me you’re going to have to do it directly.

It’s true what they say, Yoga is a very relaxing way to discover… just how dirty your floors really are. Namaste bitches🧘🏻‍♀️

My kid asked me for a picture from 2024 so I had to go digging through the photo archives. I'm pretty good at keep photos arranged and often sort them by event. I opened the 2024 folder and found collections of photos from that years trips. Amsterdam, Mexico City, Chicago, Nashville, Dubai, Brazil... If you ever catch me complaining about my life please slap me.

People do not experience our intentions, they experience our actions. Intentions are like emotions, they are wildly important to the person who has them, but they are not measurable or fully communicable to those around us. Our emotions and intentions are incredibly valuable to us and our understanding of ourselves but they are unusable for others. What we do with our emotions and intentions is what those around us can measure and understand and experience.

Prediction: Working in tech will no longer be a haven for the mildly autistic. It used to be that software developers liked to think of themselves as smarter than others. Having been a software developer, and knowing lots of these people, I can tell you that’s not the case. Some intelligence is required for sure, but if you can do a crossword puzzle you have enough intelligence to write code. What was the real differentiator was very high levels of persistence when dealing with the tedium of software. What was required was a personality trait. This is why the software development industry has such high levels of people “on the spectrum”. One of the defining qualities of Autism is “mono-tropism” which is a Greek term for one way/direction. Essential an abnormal ability or tendency to focus or stay fixated on one topic. Previously, being a good developer meant having a freakish ability to focus on a tedious task. But not anymore. AI did not kill the job of “software developer” but it has radically changed it. The job has shifted from writer to orchestrator. Claude, or whichever clanker you prefer, can write the code so much faster than you or I…. and never misses a bracket! Now the hard part, the bottle neck isn’t the writing of the code but the understanding, reviewing, and orchestrating of the code. This changed task requires people with different personality traits. It’s not about intense focus, now it’s about a wholistic view of the whole process and system. It’s about the ability to see the whole picture and make a lot of rapid small decisions to get to that whole picture. We will see those who succeed in tech change dramatically in the next decade.

Well I hope so, I want corruption to be exposed. But, don't forget, this is Gavin Newsom's ex-wife. The corruption isn't exclusive to MAGA.

God is the ultimate dictator.

Hierarchy is so baked into our culture that we can’t classify and conceptualize things without it! Remember back when I was researching ancient civilizations and my clanker wasn’t including my favorite examples and it turned out that if it couldn’t find evidence of a hierarchy then it determined that it wasn’t a civilizations?!?! Well today I was trying to research hierarchical and non-hierarchical religions and realized that it was doing the same thing. If a religion doesn’t have a ruler style God then it doesn’t count as a religion! Wow do we have issues!

My twitter feed: Women having rights is the downfall of society. “Gay” as a pejorative. Trans people should be rounded up and put in cages. “Gay” as a pejorative. Muslims are inherently violent. “Gay” as a pejorative. The only people capable of making reasonable decisions are straight white men. “Gay” as a pejorative. -- Friend: Why don’t you like Twitter? Me: ...why the fuck do you like Twitter?!?! 🤨
