Jacob is obsessed with the show and has watched those 8 episodes at _least_ 20 times.

I wrote and posted this to Instagram a couple of days ago and it became my most-read poem ever. I’m honored I get to feel big feelings alongside you all. I’m posting it here too and want to use this space more consistently. Hello friends ❤️

Also the Key & Peele skit with him having coffee and deciding to use all of the real sugar because he's about to die anyways.

Well, I certainly didn't know about this *downloads immediately*

My daughter (7yo) has specifically requested to learn cursive, and she has her grandmother teaching her.

I don't feel like it's _necessary_, but we also seem to hold kids back by not offering it.

When it works? Fantastic! When it has the slightest problem? why the hell did I get myself into this, I never wanted this.

What happened? I don't get your (apparent) disqualification

“Right now, the industry basically created a brand-new executable format written in plain human language and forgot every control that should come with it.”

whoopsy daisy?

Man, I used to get Bennigan's Guinness burger way too often when it was at Channelside.

A wallpaper featuring the Doomslayer from the Doom video games standing atop a pile of dead demons (I like to pretend it’s a mountain of fascists).

All scrolling becomes doomscrolling when the fascists and capitalists keep injecting doom into everything. This is the only doom I want in my scrolling.

You should read this.

Sometimes you’ll watch a show — like, say, DS9 — and think to yourself how some of the storylines really capture that post-9/11 surveillance culture, only to realize that DS9 ended well before 9/11, and then you just get depressed at how predictable humans are.

Measles was wiped out in the U.S. 25 years ago and now we’re already past 1,000 cases in February because vaccination rates dropped below the safety line. This is what happens when public health gets gutted and people stop trusting basic science.

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

... and on Mondays.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

I have a dentist appointment next week and……… ugh

Well, things improved after the Butlerian Jihad, so, that's ~10k years of relative prosperity! So only ~2k years of short term dystopia from the 'Before Guild' era 😉

No no, now you're starting it. Why is Dune future pessimistic?? At least... sure, the _short_ term is, but by the time of Paul, it isn't, necessarily?

What about if it’s like 500 times

haha, this is just ridiculous. Verizon sold off their Fiber service just to ... what? Make another company expand the network and improve customer satisfaction?

... and that's underselling yourself.

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Wars, Star Trek, LOTR, or Marvel.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

My perhaps controversial assessment is that when you share the propaganda of your enemies to call it out or to mock it… you’re still spreading their propaganda and maybe doing exactly what they hope you’ll do.

My wife and I are going to see this when it comes through Tampa!

uh, that’s not “reimagining” the novel. that’s…the novel.

I’ve only been to 11
