I'm literally a nobody, who reposts others. I thought of this profile name maybe 2 weeks ago. But I feel it's relevant. 😭

Hi. I’m autistic. I’ve been a senior leader in big tech for over a decade. I have multiple degrees including a Ph.D. I’ve played football. I write comics, poetry, and music. Autism is a spectrum and shows up differently in people. I was non-verbal, but here’s two words for you, RFK: Fuck you.

Van Hollen: "If the president gets to shred the Constitution and ignore the Supreme Court in this case, it is a very short path to the president ignoring court orders in other cases. So every American should care about this."

The Syrian Arabic word for a hamster is أبو جراب (abu jrab), where jrab refers to a pouch/saddlebag/tote. And abu often means “father of,” but can also function as a general honorific (like “mister”). So it’s not too big a stretch to say the Syrian Arabic word for a hamster means “Mister Saddlebags”

To our Canadian 🇨🇦 friends: Please vote massively for the Liberal Party and do whatever it takes to continue the impressive leadership of Mark Carney. Forget the polls. VOTE!!!

I feel like I've heard a certain saying when it comes to the rich...... But as I don't feel like I've got tact or eloquence, I'm going to let y'all chime in!!! Please do! I need more laughs in my day to day!

Here’s the real reason why DOGE is gutting the IRS. (Hint: it has nothing to do with “efficiency.”)

The sane Americans would like to offer our deepest apologies. But for reals, please don't come to the US. Nothing in this country is worth your freedoms. We'll let y'all know when we get back to our regular scheduled program.

Effective immediately: Heard Island will be canceling our contract with Spacex for ALL future space travel. Dr. Amelia Sealhart and CPT Charles Icebergh will be leading our charge to adapt all flightless birds to flight capability. This will supplement our already extensive Albatross Space Force

Congratu-BLEEPING-lations! It’s time we had a little talk about your use of expletive infixation. ‘Expletive infixation’ is the linguistic term for profanity inserted into a word for emphasis. (For this thread, we’ll use 'BLEEPING,' but feel free to substitute another word.)

Lessons in laughter: Dozens of you have shared this lovely video with me over the past couple days. And I just love that it illustrates two baby lessons in one. 🧵
