I hope that the tech industry moves to a point where people can admit to not being geniuses, ninjas, or rockstars and have that be a positive. I hope that people can acknowledge that there is more to learn, and love that, rather than trying to one-up each other.

There is something so creepy about being invited to Zoom events where they offer an Uber Eats or GrubHub credit. It's like, "Stay safely at home, while servants cook and delivers your food, taking all risk for you." Risk offloaded onto the viral underclass. For my comfort.

"Can't Help Myself" by Sun Yuan & Peng Yu. This robotic arm was programmed to keep pulling its hydraulic fluid it needs to survive back to itself, which is constantly increasingly leaking out. While programmed to do other things, eventually all it could do was fight to survive.

I love #Veganuary! Went to a corporate event yesterday with a free lunch. Usually all meaty sandwiches and a small plate of veg for us Ⓥ types. This time, about a quarter of the food was vegan and another quarter veggie due to people going meat-free. So nice to have options!

Just to prove not all men etc - a guy at another agency had a similar brief for a Hoover brand dishwasher, and suggested "Hoover your plates" which I adore. (Brits call vacuuming 'hoovering' after the brand)

Found some old notes from when I worked in advertising and we had to come up with slogans for a dishwasher. Mine: Washing up is for mugs. Terrible male colleague's: Computers for women.

Have any fellow language fans noticed an uptick in this kind of phrasing? IE "how ___ looks like" rather than "how ___ looks" or "what ___ looks like"? Just curious as to where it's come from.
