The problem with larger-than-life public figures is: they're just not.

Nature suggests I cite people based on gender. Isn't that kind of... the opposite... of where we want to go?

Thank you @sciam for publishing my article on the problematic nature of Star Wars and the term “Jedi”.

I am particularly grateful that I was allowed to use five pseudonyms, one for each of my genders.

Wanted: Cyberpunk story where social ills don't arise from corporates' greed, but from their sheer incompetence in face of the complexity of a digital society. (the result being the same)

TIL that Facebook took effective measures against human trafficking after Apple threatened to prevent all iPhone users from using FB.

So I just listened to the WSJ's *shocking revelations* about Facebook's whitelist, and I almost feel like the actions of a private company cannot be held to the same standard as the rule of law in a modern democracy. 😱

I heard the Taliban are creating safe spaces at their universities by separating students by gender. Really appreciate that.
