Researcher with a late-life autism diagnosis. I play too much D&D, and like learning languages. Current fixation is chess! I'm lazyMyco on chess.com. Feel free to add me, just let me know you found me here. I don't bite :)
This is me as an editor, and... I'm sorry π€£π€£
#Overheard from a 10-year old boy at an airport:
"DEBORAH IS BACK FROM THE DEAD!"
I've always been profoundly confused by people who take that so personally. What possible relevance could someone else's medical decision have for you?
I hate that I can predict someone's political views by the volume of either their voice or their car.
Hot take: objectivity is a lie, itβs just three subjectivities in a trench coat
Last year, we published a paper showing that AI models can "debunk" conspiracy theories via personalized conversations. That paper raised a major question: WHY are the human<>AI convos so effective? In a new working paper, we have some answers.
TLDR: facts

My go-to is the Scotch Game as white! It's pretty aggressive, and I find many players at my level melt from the pressure.
Nice.

"Take the high road. It's never busy."
Mine did! Funny enough, it went pretty well. As an adult, I can say the whole thing was handled with the nuance I'd want for my own children. Guess we had good gym teachers Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
This @deadder.bsky.social cartoon perfectly sums up Trumpβs stupid trade wars with our allies.
Well, this sucks.
I'm sick of the hivemind. I don't have the energy to elaborate... but I hate the internet sometimes.
Just started a mail correspondence game with a friend. This will be fun... #chesspunks
the central fallacy of the internet is the easily falsifiable claim that conversation is good
The autistic experience of being the safe space for people who are not a safe space for you.
Caught whatever is going around. Yesterday, my body decided it was freezing to death. Tonight, it decided it's on fire. Not at my finest here.
To all the other burnt out #autistic people recovering from Christmas dinner... me too β€
Nc2# is more stylish, but realistically I'd see Qd1# first.
People describe chess moves as beautiful a lot... does anyone else fine them funny? Many have the feeling of a bad pun to me, or like a slapstick routine. *Bonk*. #chesspunks
Merry Christmas, BlueSky!
No one knowing what "fey" means is about the most fitting thing that could happen to the word.
Well done!
I just heard a bunch of little kids singing "Rain Rain Go Away." I can't remember the last time I've actually heard a nursery rhyme sung before...
It's a double queen sacrifice, which is what makes it so wild. The follow-up is Qb4+ Rxb4 Nc3#
O O F. #chesspunks #chess
