I have a place where I say complicated things about philosophy and science. That place is my blog. This is where I make terrible puns.

        It's half fashion, half risk aversion. No person or culture can construe a stylized polygon as offensive/gross/dangerous.

        Even a few circles & triangles can make people think "bio-terror cult". We decided against this one.pic.twitter.com/6XD8bkSify

        Is this because 3 (debatably 4) out of 6 of your blog's sponsors do? Add in sans-serif logo-types though for more coverage.
