Burning Man shitpost kind of
@jgarber I know people who don't make it their entire personality and don't want to shade them for doing it (look, I was a high school theater nerd, I get liking stupid self-important stuff) but yikes, the people who do make it their entire personality
Burning Man shitpost kind of

@inquiline my context for him, for years, was "the guy with the great accent who lets us use classrooms at NYU and really hates student loan debt"
@Wolven Andrew was, I kid you not, the only other person I considered doing a PhD with
@inquiline Andrew Ross is, for the record, a really generous and kind person in all my dealings with him and I fully buy that he took a too-generous read on the text
TFW you're in a history of science methods class and you realize you know one of the Social Text editors involved in the Sokal hoax and even worse you know him from Occupy Wall Street
