So prescient, now I'm sad to hear those songs. Except Rambozo... Black 4WD vehicles with punisher thin blue line stickers on the back keep it funny.

In the early Twitter days science types would show up and post when they had a new paper. Wonderful! But real talk y'all: papers take ages to write. So, post about other people's stuff! You read a paper and it was cool! Or you had a question! Or it tied to this other thing! Tag the authors!

Theory: Our current political climate comes from the mindset of those who want to speak to the manager because they're unhappy, and are flatly uninterested in understanding why they're unhappy or whether they should be. They just want the manager to "fix it" and thus are willing to empower tyrants.

Where did the Leatherface fetish come from? I can't understand why people can't smell the pandering when the things-they-like-to-hear are muddled with insane-fringe-shit.

Can we get some lawyers to help draw a line around what sorts of self defense are justified by such credible threats? We might need to do some hurtful things, but can't sacrifice the rule of law.

If people are wondering why Meta is floundering, it's because Zuck had one good idea: rip off Friendster. Dude has never created anything. He even ripped off Hot or Not for his Facemash thing.

Design: post through a bot that posts your new skeet, then immediately blocks everyone who replies until the "contemplation time" timer is up, then emits a list of blocked users and exits.

The NGAD fighter jets are also about moving in the shadows. It's all a very shadowy business, trying to preserve a culture of fear. You might be eaten by a grue.

If you care about the USA, the single best thing you can do today is to contribute to a downticket race thats close. The second best thing you can do is cancel your NYT subscription and use that money for the purpose.

Keeping Trump out of the White House isnā€™t the only thing that needs doing and it isnā€™t enough to solve all problems facing the country & world but if it isnā€™t done then all those problems get exponentially worse in ways I donā€™t even know how to express and it scares me when people pretend otherwise
