Anil DashOne thing I think about sometimes is the time a decade or so ago when the editor of the MIT Tech Review scolded me for being critical of Milo Yiannopolis because Milo “went to a good school” (some British shit that probably means a lot to them but I can’t even remember what it was) and therefore couldn’t actually be awful. That was one of those turning points where I realized I would never actually get elevated to a certain level of culture or visibility, and I was quite content with that.
Michael C. Bazarewsky@anildash is that the same editor that decided that the old service that used to help with tracking follower info (it was so long ago I'm hazy on all the details now, but I was a user and you were a creator) was "useless" and that's why it went away, even when I called him out that clearly since I used it, it wasn't useless?
what a utter tool that guy was. it colored my view of that magazine to this day and by association, all of MIT.
