So, I need a pinned tweet. First, I am an insufferable know-it-all. But I try to rein it in; and when I fail, I like to think I am an equal-opportunity insufferable know-it-all. [ Stay tuned for non-follow-back, Yang, science and books. ]

@laurentbercot @MistralAI Everybody knows it's Hercule Poirot who's French.

@SarahTheHaider Pro tip: whenever somebody says they want to make government more efficient, what they really mean is cheaper. If that makes it worse at its job, that's a double benefit: an excuse to continue and an opportunity to offer a for-profit alternative to bad public services.

@jawillick It didn't work at Twitter. The mass exodus of interesting people is a proof of it. The proliferation of fake accounts with big boobs liking your tweets is a proof of it. The inability of the search feature to find your own recent tweets is a proof of it.

@AdamMGrant I suspect adversarial sports, where you have to pay attention to the opponent and establish strategies in real time, have that effect even more.

@vxunderground Nothing screams “supervillain” like a cat in a suit.

@Aella_Girl Or maybe the kid thought they won the battle but didn't realize they've been managed with manipulation by their parents.

@letonyo @gro_tsen I think it lacks a proof that the argument of 8+6i is irrational. It should be enough to prove that (4+3i)^n cannot be a multiple of 5.

For example, hire the intern graphic designer who made this screen and have them make all your fake screens instead of the senior graphic designer who made most of them.

@SarahTheHaider Wear it only once. Problem solved.

@gro_tsen I can't see a thing behind the JPEG artifacts.

@BrunoDandolo C'est ça la solidarité.

@liz_love_lace The influx of fake accounts with big boobs or asses liking random tweets is a significant negative impact to the user experience. The breakage of the search engine is a significant negative impact to the user experience.

@laurencerowe @simonmaechling @Pinboard The reason France can't build nuclear reactors efficiently is the same as the reason for Germany closing them: obstruction, legal and otherwise, by naturolater environmental activism.

@ryanburge Atheism was a key point of many far-right authoritarian ideologies way before it was fashionable for intellectuals — except in France.

@gro_tsen There's a point where the fictional cliché becomes pervasive enough that it starts sharpening Hanlon's razor, though.

Faites au moins l'effort d'utiliser de faux prénoms différents. 😭
