I made a twitter bot that pretends to be a trump supporter, but yells at racists from seemingly within their milieu. I just wrote a short paper explaining why it works the way it does and why I wrote it and what academic research I consulted while designing it. I want to publish this paper in a peer reviewed journal so I can get a job or whatever.

It's not really an art project, it's just a thing I made. I'd call it #hacktivism, but academic journals seem to think that term means politically motivated cybre crime. It /does/ break the twitter TOS in a few ways, but those aren't the law.... yet... 

There's nothing liminal, post-human, or techno utopian, but it does touch on migration and the alt-right and things that, like, matter in real life.

If there are no journals, I'd settle for a conference paper. Normally, I'm a musician, so I'm not sure where to send this....

Today I realized that I cannot expect people on the Internet to have heard of the Geek Social Fallacies any more.

The Geek Social Fallacies are five things that geeks often believe about How Socializing Should Work, that cause a lot of conflict. I've found them to be pretty useful as a way to put a handle on certain concepts, and maybe even avoid going into bad situations.

(Looking at them in 2017, I find myself wondering how many of the GSFs the design of most social networks is running straight into...)

There was a tumblr post I saw that was talking about "I wish I could go on dates with people but without the romantic involvement" and people were like "That's just friendship" and other people were like "No it's this other really complicated thing with a new name" and, like, honestly?

Normalize the FUCK out of highly-emotional, loving friendships. We shouldn't need a new word for that. That's just being friends.

Overhearing conversations about cryptocoin "investments" everywhere I go these days. Reminds me of overhearing conversations about flipping property before the housing crash in 2009.

This shit has to crash soon, right?
