Ugh I have no idea how to write #introductions / #intros. Why is everything so difficult? It feels the same way when I have to write a cover letter... 😕 😒 😅
OK, I am a software engineer? Interested in interpersonal relationships and future and AI and speculative fiction? Unable to create art or to have a physical exercise but able to chat on the internets from the comfort of my couch (which is especially comfortable when my spouse is there)?

Сейчас Венедиктов выступает перед студентами журфака в ВШЭ. Задали вопрос, почему @[email protected] забанили на Эхе. Ответ был примерно такой:
«Кац должен извиниться за то, что соврал про партию, будто я делаю ее вместе с Собчак и Гудковым. Когда публично извинится, тогда и разбаним.»
So I needed to edit some video for our product owner. Spent four hours with that fresh modern Natron ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natron_(software) ) UI, only got half of job done, and the rendered .mp4 did not even play in standard players.
Had to resort to old-school AviSynth (+FFmpeg input plugin +x264 +mp4box). Did the job in half an hour and 30 lines of AVS script, spent another half an hour making it look even nicer.
It's a wonder AviSynth still works in 2019, being built on legacy outdated tech.

My comic about depictions of Palestinians in modern media just dropped! I’ve been frustrated with this issue for a while, and I’m hoping that this comic will help spread the word & help us productively dismantle the media we consume about Palestine, for a better future ❤️🇵🇸 https://twitter.com/thenib/status/1086277036287524866
