"there's a new serif in town"

Why do we keep giving them tests? We already know they’re going to fail… again… 🫠

One of my favorite things about parenthood so far is reading through the strong thoughts and spicy takes on children’s TV shows and songs from other parents. I love that we get so invested. My current favorite:

On a daily basis, I read a news headline and think to myself, “Yeah, but do you remember that time that Obama wore a tan suit?” 🫠

If you’re going to have AI chatbots replace human customer service workers, please don’t give them names and pretend like they’re actual humans. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Trying to figure out when a package will arrive. The shipping company told me that they can’t provide a delivery estimate yet because the package is “still in transit”. Ummmm… what? 🙃

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

As a people manager, I always feel a strong urge to end every DM to a direct report with: "P.S. You retain the right to say no."

I’ve been expecting dems to cave from the start, but I feel like I’d have been significant less mad at them if they’d done it a month ago than I will be now. Why let all this damage be done for nothing?

Apropos of nothing...

I wish that going to a website's helpdesk/knowledge base/blog didn't make it impossible for me to get back to the main website. Perhaps I'm the only one, but I feel like clicking on the logo should bring me back to the homepage.

I see we’re at the “It’d be a shame if something happened to it…” chapter of The Art of the Deal.

Saw a Cybertruck in the office parking lot and immediately said to myself, “Clearly we need to make our interviews more difficult.” 😂

What did Fortune choose to highlight from their “Most Powerful Women 2025” event? Jaime Dimon. 10/10. No notes. 😂

To me, the Cybertruck is unique in the fact that I never get used to seeing it. Every time I see one, I go through a moment of “what on earth am I looking at?” before it clicks.

Workplace accommodations are great until you change jobs and have to go through the process all over again. I love having conversations about whether my support needs are reasonable. 🙃 #ActuallyAutistic

I suppose turnabout is fair play. Well played, Claude. 👏🏼

PLAY Airlines was a carbon copy of WOW Air, even sharing a lot of executives. It rose from the ashes WOW Air (which infamously ceased operations abruptly, stranding passengers around the world). PLAY Airlines has now similarly ceased operations, stranding passengers. Who would have thought? 😂

Is it just me, or does dark mode really feel like an afterthought on iOS 26?

Time to learn about how my autism was “CaUsEd By TyLeNoL.” Super excited to see what “gold standard” science looks like. 🙃 #ActuallyAutistic

Happy New iPhone Day, to those who celebrate! Here’s your annual reminder to turn on Advanced Data Protection in iCloud if it’s available in your country.

I feel like there is something poetic about this.

Using Claude Code is a wild ride, because you’ll ask it to architect and implement an entire backend service and it’ll do it over the course of the next 10 minutes. And then you’ll ask it to debug a small issue and it’ll spend 2+ hours going around in circles.

New job = new bio! Super excited to get started.

The Right: The media has been vilifying Trump, leading to these assassinations. NPR: But what about the Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota who were murdered by a right-wing ideologue? The Right: How *dare* you politicize this. I can see why you’re getting defunded. NPR: You brought it up. 🤷

Things like this make me proud to have her as my senator. 😂

Am I the only one who gets super flustered when someone asks what I’m reading? I like talking about books, but I feel like I need to succinctly summarize the story and that has never been my strong suit. #ActuallyAutistic

I’m doing a very scientific study and if you live in the US, I need your help. What state to you live in, and which type of muffins are more prevalent: almond poppyseed or lemon poppyseed? I believe there is an almond/lemon poppyseed muffin divide somewhere in the middle of the country.

You mean offering $100M+ signing bonuses *wasn’t* a sustainable way to hire AI talent? I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you! 🤯

Can you imagine the 24/7 news coverage if Biden had been wandering around on the White House roof?

Well, Cuomo asked for a fight. He got it.

At this point, I feel like it’s not a question of whether they’ll bring back stack ranking, but when.

I dare someone to get one of these and drive down to NJ. 😂

I see Columbia is creating its own branch of the Ivy League — the Poison Ivy League.

Alexa is telling me to wish myself a happy birthday. 😂

ALT: The Astronomer CEO and Chief People Officer at the Coldplay concert, in the style of Edvard Munch’s The Scream. 😂

If work asks you to cancel or reschedule personal commitments, that’s a red flag. A long time ago, I had a manager who asked me and a coworker to work through the weekend to get a project done by the deadline. Only afterward did I learn that my coworker canceled their family reunion trip to do so.

Ya got tariffs, Right here in River City! With a capital “T”, And that rhymes with “P”, And that stands for price inflation.

I don't want to know. I don't want to know.

Does anyone know of a framework to model infrastructure needs as you scale inference usage? That is, if it takes X GPUs to serve Y inference requests per second with Z ms of latency, how many GPUs would it take to serve 1,000Y requests per second with the same latency? Or 1,000,000Y?

“Scheduled send” is a godsend when I have a mental block around hitting the send button.

In shocking news, Tesla's robotaxi is a disaster. Perhaps they should have taken Waymo's approach of spending years to actually train them futurism.com/tesla-stock-...

“Managers expend a significant amount of effort on people management — almost a third of their time, according to a recent McKinsey survey.” Tell me you know nothing about people management without telling me you know nothing about people management. 🫠

I'm not sure this nickname will have the impact they think it will

well-run progressive challenges to democratic incumbents will either win or push the incumbents left. more please.

Very normal reaction to seeing the will of the people voting in a city a thousand miles away from where you live.

It’s amazing to me that 12 human beings watched chaos, destruction, and lives ruined from the first Ultimatum: Queer Love and thought: “Yeah, that’ll fix my relationship!”

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

Um. Going to suggest that making *lists of Jews* based on the Jewishness of their names sounds WAY WAY WAY more antisemitic than saying "Israel shouldn't be committing war crimes." But what do I know?

Felt the need to clarify. 😅
