    Had to unfollow Steven Pinker on Twitter today.

    The world IS getting better, but others make the case without the “free thinker” bullshit.

    As a child I lived in fear that one day I would succumb to my unquenchable desire to pick every trillium I saw.

    Lobe.ai looks pretty amazing. This explanation of their technology also makes a great intro to how machine learning works in general.

    I give this a 30% chance of being what’s happening. Kanye loves high concept stuff. I wouldn’t put it past him.

    Also consider possibility it’s performance art that’s going horribly horribly wrong.

    I just had a fantastic customer service experience with American Express.

    I had a fraudulent charge on a card. They spotted it and warned us. I then decided to cancel the card since I pretty much never use it anyway, and I was able to cancel the credit card by talking to their toll-free voice assistant. I still can’t quite believe I cancelled a credit card in about 5 minutes without talking to a human about it.

    My old blog posts look almost exactly like my tweets do.

    I wonder if English should move away from gendered pronouns (he/she, his/her) rather than adding a third (they/their), gender-neutral option. (I assume no one wants to be called “it”.)

    If the gender of the person discussed is important it can be referenced elsewhere.

    I firmly believe the best way to deal with knuckleheads looking to spread mayhem is to deprive them of the spotlight they seek.

    Toronto is a welcoming, tolerant, strong, and peaceful city. No knucklehead is going to change that.
