Consider also Sam Altman, who once argued that “we have to allow people to say disparaging things about gay people if we want them to be able to say novel things about physics”

Good grief, I had forgotten about that.

As a queer physicist, what can I say but "suck a bag of dicks, dipshit"?

BREAKING: Tim Pool announces he will be stepping back from full time content production to look after his family. He states he's tired of being made fun of for not having a wife and kids so he will also be using the extra time to pursue acquiring that family

Step 2: Futz around and transcribe a few audio files.

Step 3: Oops, we have used up the allocated budget but the deliverables remain just over the horizon.

I wish I could remember who it was who said that out of all those inane cameos, Iron Man 2 is the only one that makes sense, because Tony Stark at his most boozy, self-indulgent and self-destructive would invite Musk to a party.

Silicon Valley is proud to announce the man who taught his asshole to talk, based on the hit William S. Burroughs story, "Don't be the man who taught his asshole to talk."

OK, you could in principle have made that sound worse, for example by saying "females" like a goddamn Ferengi, but still, pretty impressive.
