What I Lick Before Your Face
You may take my balls
But I will lick what remains
And then, dear, your face
It would be such a shame if this, in fact, led more people to know about the book. Stupid droopy noodle of a man.
It feels like thereβs something important about the gap between how it feels to use the thumbs up reaction on a whatsapp comment and how it feels to receive it.
What Smartphones are doing to kids' mental health is NOT terrifying (no matter what a child psychiatrist says) The Guardian has done another shoddy article about why smartphones are definitely bad. But what's really 'terrifying' is how many apparent experts are so keen to join in with them.

My response to the Guardian's latest 'Phones are destroying the children!!' article. As ever, it's... problematic

Is doom scrolling really rotting our brains? The evidence is getting harder to ignore

Many have asked for my take on this. So, is it another example of "I have concluded that my gut feelings are correct and I'm cherry picking 'evidence' to support it"?
Yes, yes it is

All youβd have to do was add βLynneβ at the end and it would be perfect Alan.
I realised I'd been playing too much Chamionship Manager when I started giving press conferences on the toilet, in my best Wenger voice.
What must the world look like to AI bros?
One thing I look for in a social network is not to have the CEO shove his reactionary political views in my face every time I open the app. So Iβm happy here.
Why are MAGA people still so angry at everyone online? They won. Theyβre getting the President they want back. The wokes have been defeated. Why are they still out there screaming at strangers to debate them? Itβs gotta be tiring to be completely incapable of ever feeling good.
Why Your Parents Are Hung-Up on Your Phone and What To Do About It

My attempt to explain the actual science of how phones affect kids, TO kids, and push back against a narrative dominated by "concerned" parents loudly agreeing with each other, bolstered by Johnathan bloody Haidt
The problem isnβt that Twitter is toxic. Itβs that it *doesnβt work* anymore. Iβm keeping an account for Arabic content thatβs still not migrated but other than that anyone I try to βfightβ will not see my posts as they will be buried under blue ticks and spon con.
I really donβt understand this whole βstay on Twitter and fightβ thing. Youβre jousting with bots and reply guys and wading through ads itβs not Waterloo.
