The Dilemma of Being a Cyborg. "You should have your tongue ripped out": the reality of sexist abuse online. You always remember the first time someone calls you ugly on the internet. I imagine -- although it hasn't happened to me -- you always remember the first time someone threatens to rape you, or kill you, or urinate on you. The sheer volume of sexist abuse thrown at female bloggers is the internet's festering sore: if you talk to any woman who writes online, the chances are she will instantly be able to reel off a greatest hits of insults. But it's very rarely spoken about, for both sound and unsound reasons.

Both are understandable reasons but there's another, less convincing one: doesn't everyone get abuse on the internet?

[Steve Jobs is the most consequential figure in the history of design. So I’ve been taking it slow with Walter Isaacson’s definitive biography of the man, hoping for insights into how Jobs’s personality, timing, and influences managed to produce so much innovation--and what the rest of us might learn from his example. I wanted to share those thoughts with you, in a regular series. I hope you enjoy, and, if you’re reading the book as well, I hope you’ll add your own thoughts in the comments below. --Ed.] Steve Jobs was an exceptionally unreasonable man. In the first 100 pages or so of Isaacson’s book, you hear constantly how he cajoled, swindled, and browbeat those around him into doing what he wanted. It’s a testament to his vision and other virtues that so many around him continued working for him--and even loved him, despite all those failings. One day Jobs barged into the cubicle of one of the Atkinson’s engineers and uttered his usual "This is shit.

This morning, my friend Geert send me this link to a page with 39 situations that have been altered to include the “artist” himself. It immediately reminded me of the “A Night Out with Kanye West” skit from Aziz Ansari, where he says: “We come inside this club, and he’s sitting there at this table with Jay-Z and all these models and stuff, and we did just not belong there.

If you had a photo of that table you would have been like: who photoshopped those two dudes in there? That was a really good job!”. Anyway, if you think some guy photoshopping himself into pictures of Drake working out was pretty incredible, think again. Surreal self-portraits by a 14 year old. The artist and his model. HTC 1.
