software engineers met the table¹ in web design and never looked back. does a table “mean” tfoot and all (arranged at top)? thead, that sorts(, by server link without javascript)? a “table” in the web means all sorts of sorty things (i mean even “drag and drop” first should meet with server links that move a row up and down — maybe reveal the “buttons” through tap+hold on the row in CSS, and so on) and offset things, and paginated things, by navigable server links, even hide and filter fields by URI! and the two tables nested for layout, oy vey! so many ways with all that engineering the web fell to the broken manual✨️🤷🏾‍♂️✨️

i overheard a black preacher, the other day, on the television, assert that people who are 80 years old are “outliving” those who are “30” and “40”; while other preachers are still making outward commitments to the belief in a something-to-come. two ways in which preachers make use of eschatological thinking at the ends of history.

i’m drawing on the confluence of political circumstances involving spoofing identity in a post-identitarian world: https://infosecwriteups.com/the-curious-case-of-github-commit-spoofing-a-lighthearted-exploration-54ddbaaaf40a

dr. nash’s article is about the politically loaded significance of linguistic practices/naming, not just “black women’s genitalia”, as a basis for analyzing the material conditions reflected in forms of gentrification.

you are enjoying the soft bigotry of low expectations, or to read her without the principle of charity. i have every reason to suppose you’re intentionally weaponizing obtuseness/reductionist posturing.

tbh, it’s one of the drier bits like what you might find any day on language log (upenn). do you read much philosophy of art anyway?

my favorite pornotrope is how people still swear by the belief that apple computers suffer no “malware”, because why are androids apparently so promiscuous like any black person wants to spoof torvalds’ github username

do androids sleep with promiscuous scapegoats?

since 2008 (the artilect wars) or the third “a.i.” winter?

the quantum level of description is a luxury:

Conscious intentional communication, which we perhaps too hastily attribute to human beings as a mark of distinction, becomes a limited domain, the only domain where the distinction between desirable and ‘spurious’ uncertainty pertains. We may have to concede that the centrality of human communication, understood as a semantic and culturally saturated information system is, at least in principle, neither the first system in which information processes occur, nor necessarily the most efficient.
