I’ve had complete strangers assume that I’m a programmer after very brief conversations where I didn’t mention my job.
I have no idea what to make of this, but I suspect it’s not flattering.
Doctor: We have the results of your blood test.
Me: What’s it say?
Doctor: It’s definitely blood.
Me: Oh thank god.
Oh no, I liked a silly cat meme, and now the algorithm is sending more and more of them, and I just keep liking them. My whole TL is being taken over by cats like a corruption.
And I ✨love it ✨

A trans woman died because of the UK’s new hospital ward policy forcing them men's wards. Joelle was only 27 — a musician, coder, and daughter. This is what happens when they care more about demagoguery, backwards views of sex, non-existent risk than people's well being.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
References by Joelle's mother to an announcement by Steve Barclay, date this to October 2023 - therefore well before the current NHS policy change.
No details about the circumstances of Joelle's death have been independently verified or reported.

Pollsters constantly pester me and the options are insane.
> Which of these makes you want to support Tom Turdman the most?
A: Says only good immigrant is Cousin Balki
B: Vomits if someone says “don’t bomb kids”
C: Wants to legalize body-slamming LGBT people
D: Punches kittens
I get approximately 5 calls per day to participate in polls. If you’ve looked at a political poll in the last 12 months, I’m probably in there.
Ugh, I have a really funny thing I want to make and post here for October, but it will take dozens of hours of work and I have 41 followers, so it doesn’t feel worth it.
How far does my love of elaborate, high-effort absurdism go?
Haven’t really done social media before. Starting to understand why people crash out sometimes. Sorry if I say anything horribly stupid or mean in the near future.
New business idea for trans people: You pay money and someone comes to your house and viciously bullies you to actually transition.
Bryan: I have a very particular set of skills, acquired over a long career. I will find you, and I will tell your mother what your Reddit username is.
Marko: What?
Bryan: Tell me, do you moderate a subreddit about Helen Mirren’s feet?
Marko: You wouldn’t.
Bryan: Maybe I already have.
[A text message notification rings]
Bryan: That’s probably her now.
Marko: Can’t you just shoot us or something?
I follow trans people to show support. Then I get a selfie in my timeline and I follow and I’m like, “Wait, was she trans? She didn’t have 🏳️⚧️ in her name. I’m just here to support. It feels creepy if it turns out I’m following random cis girls for posting selfies.”
Just me? lol
