@SIFpod If you want a book where the computer becomes sentient and is friendly, check out The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, a book about a prison colony on the mood fighting for its independence.

So, a MAGA got angry at me for posting this. Asking my absolutely amazing non-Native alliance — does this anger you in any way?

I finally got to draw this bit that I heard while listening to @SIFpod episode about jellyfish. It's weird and I like it.

Dear @AlexSchmidty and @KatieGoldin, If you haven't yet, I'd love a @SIFpod episode on old-timey telephones! There's so much I don't know! When and how did they change from rotary to touch tone? Were "party lines" as awkward as they sound? How was the infrastructure made?

"THE MONKEYS ARE A PUN?!" (me listening to @sifpod late, finally getting to the "hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil" episode, hearing the Japanese version "mizaru, kikazaru, iwazaru" and remembering that "saru" is "monkey" in Japanese)

@JasonKPargin Hey, just listened to you on the latest @SIFpod . Did you know there is a *vertical* necropolis? It mixes the necropolis and sky burial (and, if you think about it, the bonehouse too). Also it's harder for people to just bulldoze it. atlasobscura.com/places/memoria…

. @SIFpod : nobody thinks much about them so let's find out why CAPTCHAs are secretly incredibly fascinating. Me, who has thought about nothing but CAPTCHAs for weeks as the tech company I work for rolled out CAPTCHA v3 on our platform: oh.

@SIFpod I have recently started listening to you. 1 Love it. 2 i'm in the middle of the grocery store episode and am responding to something so strongly I felt the need to say. I love self checkout. I hate the awkward interaction with the staff. I avoid stores w/out self check

@SIFpod There’s better examples of crochet octopuses/squid out there, but these are the first ones I’ve done (the 5 small ones were part of a donation drive for Toldeo Children’s Hospital to give to preemies in their NICU) which makes me think … crochet episode?

Now I can’t get the image of Maria from ‘Sound of Music’ dancing in the hills, performing the title track whilst happily twirling a squirrel around her head, said squirrel chirpily accentuating notes in appropriate locations of the song. Thanks a heckuva lot @SIFpod!
