somehow I want to present this slide like "A platypus? (...) PERRY THE PLATYPUS?!"

It is really lovely that I get to teach digital literacy at the community centre. The learners are pretty apprehensive abt tech and feel left behind until they make their family photos into stickers and start stacking everyone together into the same image....then they're like hell yeH tenkology 🙂‍↕️

My imposter syndrome is cured by the BRAZEN audacity with which Microsoft Edge pitches itself to me

every “ancient tradition” was invented between 1848-1870 and every “modern perversion” is so ancient as to predate writing

Coincidentally, I also had thoughts(tm) about this phenomenon a while back. I didn't get into the weeds with studying the origin or motives, so this is more just me observing and postulating about Weird Human Behaviour, but even so... bsky.app/profile/kita...
