Doc producer. Existential and other crises haver. Credits @RetroReport @NYTimes @Quartz @SLTrib. RTs and Likes either made me think or made me laugh.

I tweet about the short docs I make on tech/policy/history and get a dozen likes and a handful of RTs (mostly from co-workers).

One reply about dating/aging/adult-onset agoraphobia, and its my most-viral tweet.

@steph_mcca I was 29 and started dating a 34 year old. And I was always wanting to go to EVERY social event and he just wanted us to stay home and I am now that person (even before the pandemic).

@missbreton I feel like a "Stormy Daniels" should be a drink

Decided to use my 3D printer to figure out how the hell we’re doing this.

The stark inequalities in education are a huge obstacle, but it's also simply not possible to ignore all this, or deal with AI capabilities purely punitively (as plagiarism) in the classroom. It will just get worse.

As before, re-imagining how we value people is the viable path.

@davenport_bee @Dave_Horwitz This is brilliant! Like Monday the workplace sitcom, Tuesday the school sitcom, Wednesday the friend group (that hates each other) sitcom, Thursday another character’s workplace sitcom and Friday the friend group (that loves each other) sitcom.

@blur_lafluer @Dave_Horwitz @joshgondelman Ugggghhhhhhhh, that awkward/tense season between Issa and Molly was just viscerally uncomfortable and so well done!

I just DMed someone “The struggle; it isn’t fake.”

I’m at a disco dance party and I was expecting Patrick Hernandez, Sylvester, and Thelma Houston.

Instead it’s Bee Gees, 90s Cher, and Hall & Oates.

Does anyone understand my disappointment?

I feel like the white lotus is curing my Sunday scaries

twitter is directly or indirectly responsible for a lot of my career. twitter is the first thing i see each morning and the last thing i see each night. i met friends, lovers, immediate family members, my husband, my wife, my non-binary spouse(s), my estranged father on twitter.

Dying laughing (but actually crying)

[Derek Thompson @DKThomp]

well.

[GL @gldivittorio]

You're laughing. Instagram accounts that gained hundreds of thousands of followers entirely by posting twitter screenshots are losing the source of their livelihood and you're laughing.

@ZoeSchiffer This isn't a test in competency. This is a test in "loyalty" where he wants to see who will blindly follow orders. The irony on many levels shouldn't be lost that many of the compliant folks will be H1-B visa holders who just want to stay in the country.

[María Villaseñor @mvmariav]

I know I missed that train by weeks but Twitter is dying so whatever

@reluctantlyjoe 2 in the pantry. And that’s only because the store didn’t have my go-to Valentina and I had to buy Tapatio (it was used twice and then I was able to restock.)
