I believe in the life-enhancing and capability-extending possibilities of technology as well as its potential to surveil, control, and misdirect. I work towards tools which are respectful, trustworthy, and safe enough to be used even by the most vulnerable among us, even when those with power oppose that freedom.

Why is every single emu in the entire world a monsterfucker? They're all more into their human zookeepers than other emus? How? Why‽

Names matter. Translating (or, especially, transliterating) names badly result in texts which make less sense and are less memorable. Here are half a dozen better translations so you can pick up on the wordplay and look smart in front of your friends.

Dustin was the first person crafted from clay in the TaNaKh. You could also call him Sandy or — if you really stretch it — Terrence.

Livvy was Dustin’s second partner after his first rejected him because he wouldn’t let her be on top.

Joshua was the messiah described in the Christian good news, though if you want to use his full title, it’s Greasy Josh.

Rocky founded Joshua’s temple, which is the progenitor of the Catholic and Orthodox churches.

Wideboy authored The Republic and is credited as the father of the Western philosophy.

But please: make sure always to use your newfound understanding irresponsibly.

I think society would be better if more people dressed like Pokémon gym leaders more often.

I aspire to one day offer a player or reader clues revealing an insight with one hundredth as much bone-chilling horror as when the Alvarezes finally understood the implications of the worldwide layer of iridium at the K-T boundary after the peak biodiversity of the Permian.

Don’t tattoo “DNR" on your chest. Nobody is going to delay CPR for even a second unless you have the state-specific signed, dated, & notarized paperwork handy, and even then it's probably not going to be noticed unless someone is waving it in the rescuer's face and advocating for you.

Can you imagine what it would be like if the Federalist Papers constantly nagged you to subscribe so that you could receive Publius' latest newsletters right in your mailbox with bonus content for premium subscribers, and were interrupted by mid-essay ads for Better Help and Squarespace?

@cooperq@infosec.exchange Thanks! Great analysis; very much appreciated. (Weirdly I see the second post as a reply when I look at the first one, but I don't see the first post as a parent when I look at the second one. And I couldn't find it on your profile when I looked. But it doesn't seem to be restricted or anything. IDK 🤷🏻)

@cooperq@infosec.exchange Is there a first post in this thread I'm not seeing?

Selfie, implied skeleton, implied violence, almost eye contact. But dang I look good. Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive

Yep, I think that my chaotic bisexual disaster war criminal #NinthHouse cavalier prisoner-of-war costume came out pretty dang well for this #NonaTheNinth-era larp. I truly could not tell you why I keep being cast as a glamorous & flirtatious center of attention in all these #LockedTomb games, apart from the fact that I beg desperately for these roles in my casting surveys.

@BrianJopek@mastodon.world @riamaria@infosec.exchange Politics is personal and power. All of these are politics, only some of them are reasonable.
