@Steven_Hyden I had faith that my favorite Elton song would be somewhere in the list, maybe midway through, but then I kept scrolling and scrolling and started to doubt it, and then the howl that I howled when I saw it was number 1.

Elton John wrapped up his mammoth, $940 million-grossing farewell tour earlier this month. So I thought this would be a good opportunity to dig deep into the man's catalogue. This list is half hits and half deep cuts. It's just my job five days a week. uproxx.com/indie/elton-jo…

@PhilipMenard @SheaSerrano get on I-10 and drive until you at least make it back to Lafayette.

WE’RE BACK BABYYYYYYYYYYY IT’S CRAWFISH SEASONNNNNNNNNNN

We talked about a Bot Sentinel-powered social network and came up with ideas I am confident you guys will love. Today we moved one step closer to it becoming a reality, but we need to hit the 100k pre-beta goal. So if you are interested, please register. prebeta.botsentinel.com

🔔New: We have created a pre-beta registration form to gauge the demand for a Bot Sentinel-powered Twitter-like platform. If more than 100k people show interest in the project, we will consider moving forward with the next steps. You can register here: prebeta.botsentinel.com

@elonmusk If you announce that you’re lighting yourself on fire and then do it in a public space, you’ll draw a crowd.

And … we just hit another all-time high in Twitter usage lol

It took me less than 25 minutes to set up a fake anonymous Apple ID using a VPN and disposable email, attach a masked debit card to it (with the address being Twitter's HQ), and get a verified account for a prominent figure. Just think what a nation-state or bad actor could do...

@TonesOfMusic Explosions in the Sky, and it’s not even close.

Top three loudest bands you've seen live? Helmet NIN The Cult

@chrisbrockman I didn’t think that this would ever be topped, but the Cards might have done it

don’t know what the funniest video of the #NFL season is but this is way up there

In academia, we talk about teaching, research, and service as the 3 pillars of higher education, but I propose renaming that to The Pyramid of Effort from now on.

Me, whenever we have people over and the want to hear something from the vinyl collection

@CVerdin34 Ain’t It Fun is one of the best songs to come out in the last 10 years and it warms my heart to see this.

Stop asking *us* why we like things. Now, play some Hawthorn Heights and let’s go off, kings.

The Twitter algorithm correctly served this up to me since it satisfies my interest in data analysis and my irresistible need to insufferably complain about the officiating during Saints games. Well played, Twitter. Well played.

@CVerdin34 @Dodgers I’m already jealous of the weather.

Seems like a nice night for some @Dodgers baseball.

People with the strongest opposition to scientific consensus have the lowest levels of objective knowledge--yet they also have the most confidence. The people who speak with the most certainly against scientists are the least trustworthy and self-aware :( science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Look, I want transparency in the tech industry, but can we bring back literally transparent tech as well?

@Steven_Hyden I know Epic is the record label, but I honestly can’t think of a better way to describe this album than “EPIC STEREO CASSETTE”

If I play this tape on Memorial Day summer officially begins.

@SheaSerrano That tweet will be evergreen until all of Steph, Klay, and Draymond have been retired a few years.

yet again

@SheaSerrano The Indian Pueblo Kitchen (restaurant inside the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center) is incredible. Also, grab a green chili burger while you’re there. We had Blake’s Lotaburger and that was pretty good.

i’m in ABQ so if any of y’all have any food recs let me know 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

There are plenty of models for where this site is likely headed. I'm on those sites all day. I cover extremism and lies for a living. You're not gonna like it.
