Photo of a poster that says: Welcome To IAC26 Navigating Complexity: Clarity and Understanding with Information Architecture / April 14th - 18th - Philadelphia, PA / Keynote Speakers Meg Lewis and Paz Perez

Selfie of my shoulder in which I'm wearing a black collared shirt with three round pins in it: "The Sensemakers Club" & "I make sense of messes." & "CERTIFIED SHITTY shittymaps.com"

A person standing at a podium in front of a projector screen on which a crude diagram is being displayed featuring the following text: THE TROJAN HORSE. A VISUAL + DISARMING MEDIUM. AN INVITING + NON-CONFRONTATIONAL POSTURE.

Photo of a portion of a sticker sheet. The main sticker being featured is a curled up prawn with the text "I ❤️ MY POSTURE" along its back. Some other stickers partially visible around the shrimp: a jar of jelly that says "Design Jam," a polar bear wearing glasses and a conference badge, two circular stickers featuring heart shapes and the IAC logo, the word TAXONOMY

Snapshots from yesterday, when I spent a few hours at @theiaconf.bsky.social #IAC26 hanging out with @thesensemakersclub.bsky.social and meeting online friends IRL for the first time 🥰

“apple intelligence” is knowing exactly when you finally learn where the button is now and moving it again at that precise moment.

"The horror of failing to save someone you count as kin, that they might die on your watch, is the flip side of love. How many people can we bear to care about that way?" harpers.org/archive/2026...

Is it... labubeautiful?

Freeze Spending On AI, Including AI-powered Drones and Surveillance Tech Last October, we won the first-ever hearing on Philly’s use of artificial intelligence, and exposed how Philly government's use of AI and surveillance is a black box. No oversight. No transparency. No...

Same goes for Cathy Moriarty

(obviously I mean 1991 Whoopi; I don't keep up with current daytime TV)

I would kill for Whoopi Goldberg

I would die for Elisabeth Shue

Kevin fucking Kline for fucking ever. And not only that, but Sally Field was likely the best to ever do the damn thing. 🧼 📡

Interrupting is a sign of respect on my spectrum

Soapdish (1991)

A delivery robot on the sidewalk in Philadelphia. It's a rectangular box on wheels kind of like a tiny bus, about knee-level height with a screen on the front that was displaying animated graphics (Easter themed on Thursday after the holiday Sunday). There's a squat cylindrical camera on top that looks kind of like a siren, and a red flag sticking out of it that's a couple feet taller than the siren.

Saw this little guy when I went out to lunch today and stopped in my tracks to boo and yell at it while it navigated around me 👎

I'm a proud member and co-leader of a monthly discussion group called Making Sense of Your Values in Tech. Ask me anything!

I remember reading a perfect post once, which happened to hit extra perfect for me in particular because I was deep in the Three Bod Prob trilogy at the time, and this may not be word-for-word accurate, but it was something along the lines of "all my real homies hate the dark forest theory"

Jizz the season! (It's finally a warm spring day in Philadelphia and the cum trees are in full bloom)

Turning 40 this year, so I booked my old ass a 3-week-long trip to Japan about it

This is how I feel about every video and podcast I've ever been sent

I can order food at a restaurant in French!

My Duolingo French Score is 49! I should be able to order food at a restaurant in French.

About 70% of the U.S. economy runs on consumer spending.

But as wealth concentrates at the top, the richest 10% can’t spend enough to sustain it — while everyone else can’t afford to.

Reminder that trickle-down economics simply doesn’t make sense. It’s a hoax.

This case is something else 😆
Afroman vs Cops. (Fuck the cops).
Wild shit.

Thought my hat that says "BE NICE" was a strong choice for traveling, but I bow down to the babe at this airport bar wearing one that says "not calm" 🙌

I'm reading a book about math and it's a great reminder that you have to feel dumb before you can feel smart

Always a solid choice to wear @heavyslime.bsky.social while traveling. Getting a lot of love in southern airports today (PNS, CLT)

Messaging with ride-share drivers through the app is adorable, and I think all texts should be limited to 90 characters
