A posting every day; an interesting idea every three months…

Hey, you stole my “asking for a friend”:

I don’t know why my friend was so shy, I^H he was asking about meeting women in P.R. not doggies.
:dog:
Phil:
Deepest apologies for accusing you of cultural appropriation. I find myself using “Maskachussetts”, “Scientist”, and “noble immigrant”–even at home. Feel free to borrow my words for the Phil-O-sphere culture any time.
The Common Lisp community was shattered a few years back when a brony tried to muscle in on the manga-bros. He had a quite explicit avatar on TwitX (you can “borrow” that pun if you want) which, because this is a family site, I will not link to. Many people left the CL community as refugees to Rust and Go and squat on their repos without contributing back.
It’s not surprising you have so few comments here on this post, because the topic is so gross. It also does not surprise me that you have so many “views” on TwitX, because this topic is so gross.

I used “asking for a friend” on X in November 2024: https://x.com/PhilipGreenspun/status/1862145647656255725
@philg,
As fellow Scientists 😷, let’s just call it “parallel etymological evolution”. There is no way I got that from TwitterX, because I don’t read it, ever. Maybe I got it from r/UKChavs.

Confused: That’s a different, albeit similar reply. https://x.com/PhilipGreenspun/status/1968720671753531722 is the link in the original post.
Okay, X must have relegated me to the low-traffic postings!
Philip’s blog is getting too sexy, I have to be careful about leaving my browser open on his page!
Can I use the execute: “Researching for a friend… and somehow AI landed me on Philip’s sexy blog.”
Phil, I am so overjoyed that you took my suggestion from your post on September 10th, where I scolded you for your indecency when you mis-gendered and mis-pronouned a wonderful young Furry (you verbally assassinated Mx. Furry by saying “men make the best women”). As you now clearly realize, Furries are a most important minority that have suffered terrible discrimination and have often rightfully lashed out with violence to fix this abomination.
Also, my Joey checked with Barack Hussein Obama, and BHO said it was okay for him to agree with my note to you.
Dr. Greenspun is a sandal-wearing hippie! Hahaha!

Well, Bonzo doesn’t exactly look like Lucille Barkley, either. I’m just sayin’.
