My twitter presence is mostly bike advocacy and urbanism, with math, social justice, and whatever else catches my eye sprinkled in

Did anyone else learn how base 10 worked with these cubes in elementary school?

@teslavangelist Because skipping lights and traffic is what saves them time, and they can only do that when other cars pull over

@johnfio_ If it’s something you made this is 100% wrong. If it’s just something you saw on the internet then yeah

@pbdmcniel With the last name “Pope” I get where you’re coming from, but it’s worth it for the occasional gem. I’m a wordplay fan, though. I do think “don’t make the obvious name joke” is a solid variant, though

@JohnJSSoriano Bible as literature/a major foundation of culture should definitely be taught. The opposition in my experience more often comes from religious who think referencing it as anything but divine is sacrilege, though I could believe the fundamentalist left has joined them in opposing

@Plastic_Dingus @daveweigel When you’re bloodthirsty but too scared of the enemy to face them friendly fire is all that’s left. The worst kind of cowardice, not only abstaining from actually forwarding a cause, but sabotaging it because you’re afraid of facing your ineptitude by doing nothing

@Pandurevich @visakanv Just speaking from experience

[Taylor Pope @legoruthead]

@hinathan @visakanv Hello fellow Redwood Cityizen! Yeah, this was not a hypothetical

@atlanticesque It’s more about priority than possession - some people fail to update their mental model when their reality crosses over and waste the resource they have less of to save the one they have more of

[Taylor Pope @legoruthead]

@CulturalBystand @mattyglesias It’s petty high on the list of justifications, because it resonates with people who aren’t obsessed with being anti-AI

[Taylor Pope @legoruthead]

@AVatTowson @hamiguahuan @bigseb31213 Foie gras is neither of those, it’s a French luxury food, so even less relevant

[Taylor Pope @legoruthead]

@teachrobotslove Ok but many people still don’t do it, so it’s still a useful metric, even if there are false positives

[Taylor Pope @legoruthead]

@drmarkhyman Measuring sugar in donuts is misleading. This is indeed terrible, no need to use a dishonest clickbait metric to convey that

[Taylor Pope @legoruthead]

@Miles_Brundage I’ve noticed some people cite AI as the source of their info as an appeal to authority, and some as a disclaimer. Though as it’s gotten better I’ve seen people move from the latter to the former

@humantransit Those welcome bleachers are awesome

@humantransit Also this image is much wider than a bus can be, and I doubt AI will solve spatial compression any time soon

@arakkosuperstar “Some element of this story is improbable” yes, that’s WHY it’s a story worth telling, and that people care enough about that it spread to you. You don’t tell stories about the days and people where nothing weird happens, and if you do no one cares

[Taylor Pope @legoruthead]

@Chrisgpt It’s like when health class uses donuts to display how much sugar is in things, it’s a metric genetically engineered to appear shocking

[Taylor Pope @legoruthead]

@BTRBT_ You give budgeting advice to people who you want to have more money and people complaining about not having enough money. Also people absolutely do tell billionaires that all the time, but not as budgeting advice
