@jailedamanda but the horizon is practically dead center

I mean it has to be this

My three favorite short poems of all time are Ozymandias, The Tyger (Blake), and Jabberwocky. What’s one of yours?

@SandyofCthulhu Hopefully the new Cheronian is still a homicidal racist.

Dang it. According to this (ridiculous) picture, it would seem that in their final battle on Cheron, Lokai managed to kill Commissioner Bele (Frank Gorshin), escape the planet, and I guess have a kid. Too bad. I was rooting for Bele. Ugh I can't leave at that. How the heck they could have bungled Star Trek lore so badly is unthinkable. Lett me point out just one tiny fact - Cheronian hair is NOT tinted black/white. It's light brown. I bet they won't even give the new Cheronian character an inherent force-field, and the ability to use their will to take over the ship.

@SlumRNA_Dog well, if we HAVE to use all the digits and we are free to conjoin them to form larger numbers, then: 1) 134 - 109 = 25 2) 102 - 89 = 13

Sometimes my son has shit like this on his homework and while I’m sure it’s totally easy, I also have no idea what the hell it’s asking him to do, and neither does he, and I know in my heart that it’s some sort of cockamamie scheme to teach black kids to “do math in dey head.”

@TiffanyFong some peace and quiet

men can always buy women flowers or chocolates, but what’s the equivalent for men? what gifts can women buy men??? 😩

@bendreyfuss junk fees

The balls are where they get ya!

@martinmbauer just wait until they learn how mechanical engineering routinely overthrows general relativity

Physicist: Many particles with many collisions can be described as a liquid. This is Plasma physics 101. X.com : This ignores Einstein and overthrows particle physics It would be funny if it wasn't so painful

@CJHandmer Is there any way to incentivize recording all this at scale? A stream of images documenting stagnation won't go viral (or be profitable). And I don't think anyone, let alone the media, would pay attention, as the constant reminder is such a huge downer.

What would it take to install a webcam on a few dozen pieces of failing infrastructure to keep a close eye on just what exactly is actually being done to fix it?

@FischerKing64 It's hard to hold an audience while sensibly discussing contemporary issues, the news of the day, modern culture, etc... because you will just end up repeating yourself week after week. But there are lovely and thoughtful podcasts on history, science, the arts.

I’ve said this many times - but the increasing stupidity of podcasts is just the race to the bottom of competition. There are too many of them, and the audience is too large - so the most eyeballs comes with the most extreme absurdity. It’s like talk shows in the 90s-2000s. You went from Donahue to Oprah to Maury Povich and Jerry Springer. It was a downhill thing for attention - because when everyone has access, you get the most people watching if you are crude, stupid, vulgar and vapid. Because that is how most people are. Most people want to hear about a wild sex story, or a murder conspiracy - not a lecture on the filibuster. There is no conspiracy theory needed to explain any of this. You don’t need foreign $$ - although that might be a component. You can just see a lot of desperate people who see themselves in a cutthroat zero-sum game competing to be the top podcaster. They are following their audiences. Every major online media company has moved in the direction of the online right for this exact reason - to keep an audience. No major face in this sphere is saying the same things as 10 years ago. All of them are taking their ideas from here. Sometimes the plagiarism is so blatant you can’t believe it. The only question that is interesting is where it bottoms out. Because it will reach a point where someone goes too far. Springer had to dial it back eventually, and some room opened up for more reasonable talk shows. But we haven’t hit the bottom yet.

@cremieuxrecueil poor habits and diet lead to higher cancer rates. the underlying lack of self control would also drive higher opioid usage. is the republican thing just a causal reaction to resulting drug usage in those areas?

This remains one of the weirdest stories I've seen in an empirical paper in the last year. Areas with lots of cancer started to become Republican bastions—showing stronger support in House, Governor, and Presidential races—to the extent they were exposed to the opioid epidemic.

@Delicious_Tacos Wow, that sounds pretty great. But how do I justify this investment knowing that prices will decline as you build more houses? Oh, what's that you say?

What if I told you: You could be in debt longer? You could pay more interest for your home? We could increase the price of homes even more? Sounds pretty good, doesn't it?

@aelfred_D we don't know that. maybe the film ends with the studio rejecting Stallone for the role, only for him to realize he found something more valuable along the way.

We will finally get the chance to see what a young Sylvester Stallone would’ve looked like in Rocky

@MartinShkreli but is derangement the cause or the effect? how many of these people do you think lost their shirts shorting telsa, and then lost their minds?

This week I learned that there is a community called "TSLAQ" who thinks Tesla is a fraud 😂😂😂 They are a bunch of failed Wall Streeters who obviously lost their mind. As a life-long short-seller, I will explain this phenomenon through psychiatry! (1/3)

@MartinShkreli ...that quantum stocks will one day exist in a market where they are not priced by baseless speculation but by the content of their qubits.

@skooookum the aristocratic elegance of a chicken egg.

Too big. Repulsive

@acmilanchampo21 Also Rabiot. I've been blown away by his quality, strength, and decision making.

Pulisic is one of the most underrated players in the world WHAT A PLAYER 🔥

@Stef_Sartori I kept expecting a lazy Bologna counter attack to cut through our midfield leading to an uncontested cross to an unmarked player... and it never came. you're right, I can't remember a game like this in a while.

A performance we’ve not seen in quite a while. Patient, mature and intelligent. Have to applaud the game management as Bologna were nowhere near scoring tonight. Clean sheet another bonus. Really liked the role Rabiot has. Mike injury very annoying and ref was woeful. 3 points

@Matt_Santangelo the only excuse to overturn that penalty is to call the OTHER foul a penalty

Absurd penalty reversal. Inexcusable. That official needs to be suspended and docked pay. Embarrassing.

@nemaccer But can he convince Tuchel to call up Pulisic to the England squad?

@simonsarris cool idea. I think a version that selects a random 'someone else' could also be interesting. in that case, it could even be anonymous.

need a "For Someone Else" tab where I get to look at what other people's feeds look like
