@gruber I haven't heard anyone mention this, but the way Stage Manager makes use of a "virtual Z-axis" feels like a pretty blatant step toward the augmented reality UI of the near future. I'll bet we see this interaction model again through glasses down the road.

@pantse_macabre @seanhussey Yeah, I’m choosing the path of optimism now that the sunshade has deployed. Which, as I understand it, means we have a viable telescope even if subsequent origami sorcery does not go 100% according to plan.

@seanhussey @Remiel No. Sleep. 'Til. L2.

The James Web @NASAWebb Telescope is essentially a giant, golden eyeball, 1.5 million kilometers away from Earth, sending us telepathic visions from 13.5 billion years in the past. In other words: Sorcery. #UnfoldTheUniverse

The Hermes AirTag holder is some hilariously untintentional, techno-dystopian, satirical shit. “Thank God there’s a tracking device inside my $400 tracking device holder, just in case I lose it.”

“Their last words were a fart because the AI couldn’t tell the difference.” These are the things I wake up in the middle of the night to add to my notes, folks.

There are still nine months left in 2020, but we already know @TIME will name “The Healthcare Workers” Time’s 2020 Person of the Year, and @realDonaldTrump will somehow be angry about it.

Nepalese bank notes all look like the deeds to Mount Everest. @ Kathmandu, Nepal instagram.com/p/BvmaXZ8HpmS/…

@spacetweek But still wrong ;)

@Remiel That adds up to 36 not 35.

Aaaaaah! Yes, that is our very own brilliant and beautiful @EffingBoring in a trailer, talking gleefully about queer stories in wrestling. (Yes, incredibly that is her natural hair color.)

what do I wanna be? anything but this! when do I want it? *dial-up modem noises*

Theory: "Mean" and "funny" are right next to each other in the brain. And when "funny" is lacking, "mean" expands to fill the void, because everyone believes they have a right to be funny. That's why unfunny people are often so mean, and get so mad when you call them unfunny.

@realDonaldTrump @DevinNunes @FoxNews All I'm hearing is the president is worrying constantly about the prospect of impeachment.

“There is no Collusion. All of these investigations are in search of a crime. Democrats have no evidence to impeach President Trump. Ridiculous!” @DevinNunes @FoxNews

@impcapital @teganbukowski Still want this to be real.

@impcapital That's what I was just thinking :)

@impcapital I can still imagine scenarios where that might make (internal) sense. I guess what I'm getting at here is that if what you're saying is typical, then we should all be on the lookout for women-led companies because they are statistically on sale. True?

@impcapital How much do you think the valuation would be if it were run by a man? How much would it be if they were in another industry with otherwise same metrics? Not rhetorical. I'm really interested!

@Bez Never stop yelling <3

A living wage is too weirdly specific to be a “human right”. But it’s high time for experiments proving the ROI in providing gentle on-ramps for everyone to add value to civilization. We can afford to educate and feed everyone. So let’s try it because it’s simply a smart idea.
