This Is Not My Beautiful Bug!

This week we have a classic 10k where we talk about some fun posts. We start off with Richard Dawkins being unable to understand Kafka's The Metamorphosis and then go onto Jeanette Winterson getting so mad at the publishing industry and its proximity to home decor that she burnt her own books.

Finally, we talk about two tweets that, though seemingly different, embody the same logic. How does a tweet thread about a female journalist travelling cross-country to get rejected by a guy embody the same poster's pathway as a guy who tortures his wife with his alarm clock? When you're performing for a vague set of participant observers, it turns out, quite a lot!
