Trying to understand this mural. Books will open you up to the Empire State Plaza at night with a blazing sun? Is this one of the signs of the end times?

Saw a license plate holder which said, “Be nice to me, I may be your nurse some day”. The implication being that if you are not nice to this person, she will act unprofessionally. Good to know.

I don’t love musicals but #OnceMoreWithFeeling still hits me. Plus, a twenty year old show about teens fighting demons & their own foibles still resonates. Weird. https://t.co/uQDWJVsSKU

Just realized that the AP style guide doesn’t use the Oxford comma and thought about saying stupid about knowing the true enemy but realized some people would take me seriously and that made me sad for society.

If it were a simple problem, I wouldn’t have to call tech support. When you use a proprietary cable that voids my warrantee to touch & I know the problem is with the cable, I am sorry that you have to roll a truck to fix it but that is not my problem.

If the seemingly intelligent responder isn’t aware of the position of trust it has been put in, if the result is the same. Comforting someone through a conversation, or being a good improv partner, doesn’t require someone from the outside validating, as much as...

Another piece in the @nytimes, which I tweeted out earlier talked about the lack of empathy in pseudo-AI, which is answered by this. Improv requires trust with your partner(s), an understanding that everyone is on the same page. What does it matter... https://t.co/KihUQfZ4kN

More and more, my thoughts return to ⁦@nealstephenson⁩’s #TheDiamondAge, whether it is about how we read the news, the importance of having a voice (human or pseudo-AI) guiding us through difficulties, or the need to be kind in an unkind age. https://t.co/YpAFqxuAAT
