I realize this is a hell of a thing to be saying on the internet but I am so. so. so over irony-pilled internet culture. It's not just irony-pilled any more, it's irony soaked, it's irony drenched, it's irony-philic and earnestness-phobic. And I am completely over it.

Oh, the nerds who spend all day hanging out on Q&A forums just to get angry at the people asking questions are a special breed. Isn't there a bug somewhere you should be fixing? Leave this part to the people with social skills.

just sat through a user research presentation comparing 2 participatory design tools. they came to grand conclusions and were praised for their study design. their study consisted of 5 people and only 2 of them used both tools. we are not a serious discipline. no wonder people find AI convincing.

Don’t want it, didn’t approve or ask for it, misconstrues my thesis, says my name wrong, makes weird jokes about sushi pizza and my area of expertise in a British man’s voice. Sooo do I delete my account now? What is it even good for anymore #AcademicSky

I think the UX industry might be cooked, y'all. I have been quietly job hunting which means spending more time on Linked in. (ew.) I never go on that platform so I'm generally unaware of what colleagues and industry leaders are posting there. I'm horrified by what I'm seeing.
