@mcnees Thank you.

And if today is one of those days when you could use a little extra wonder, I encourage you to take a few minutes and watch Erik Wernquist's mesmerizing short film "Wanderers." The narration is Sagan reading from his book "Pale Blue Dot." vimeo.com/108650530

Planetary scientist, dedicated science communicator, and tireless advocate for the humanizing power of science: Carl Sagan was born #OTD in 1934. This passage from "The Demon Haunted World" is as prescient as ever. Image: NASA

@rodcubkoguma @davidmackau Perhaps this is the gorilla of whom Her Majesty spoke.

@microscopicture so sad 🙁

@mcnees How tall is your dog?

@graceelavery Oops maybe those are disposable satire but they still make me laugh.

what good art has there been that has explicitly engaged the personality and historical effect of Donald Trump? there’s obviously a lot of totally disposable satire, but James Austin Johnson’s 100 gecs video was really good, and Tim Heidecker’s stand-up special. anything else?

@graceelavery LEATHER BOTTOMED SHOES (a.k.a. THE RAMP SONG) - Music: Josh Radnor. Lyri... youtu.be/WDdwIIbay1k via @YouTube and of course Sarah Cooper’s hilarious lip-sync.

@mcnees Just here to say I’m chortling at your new name. (I’ve been away for a while.) Nice pix too.

Here comes a thread of very chill views of Lake Michigan.

@mcnees some web

Pretty good web.

@Meaningness Or maybe memories of actual sexual abuse distorted and disguised by a child's chaotic understanding, or defense against having to confront the fact of the perpetrators being their own parents.

I mean, this is extremely interesting and relevant, but I just can’t cover everything that is extremely interesting and relevant

Going through the gigantic _Meaningness_ draft and removing numerous sections that are currently just notes and which, realistically, I will never get time to write.

Drop an album that you think is perfect from start to finish. (Or albums!)

@Little_sun_boy Button down properly refers to collars, not the whole shirt. Button up sounds like you’re talking to a toddler. We don’t need a special name for a shirt with buttons, it’s just a shirt. There are lots of names for shirts without buttons or with partial buttons.

@graceelavery Reece as a character came off as human—imperfect and complicated—rather than a cardboard ‘strong woman’ feminist cipher. When did people start expecting literature to be so dumb?

(1) cis women don’t write about wanting degrading sex? i’m sure you’re heard of Sally Rooney (2) even if it were, you ppl are always saying that sex is a scientific, not cultural, category.

I feel like the anti-trans activists have really ramped up their idiocy again in the last couple of weeks. It’s somewhat comical—hate mail in my work inbox less so—but I feel more lost than ever when i try to imagine healing any of this.

@Little_sun_boy @restloxx It sounds more like underwatering than overwatering.

@restloxx I just don’t get how it could be over watered 😭 I’ve watered it once since I repotted it

PLANT UPDATE; It is still dying! I repotted it in better soil, it has fertilizer, and I’ve gotten rid of the fungus gnats. But it’s still dropping leaves and whole sections! Anyone know why? I’ve really tried to cut back on watering, cuz that seemed to be the problem but idk

@Little_sun_boy It looks like an umbrella plant. gardenloversclub.com/houseplants/um…

Amazing clear pictures of rocky landscape and then you think WAIT THAT’S NOT ON THIS PLANET!

@fakedansavage At least he lifted his own luggage . . .

Not the obituary I wanted to read today. nytimes.com/2021/02/18/us/…

Hi, Bill Gates. I had some coffee ice cream and now I’m going to bed. But you knew that. (vaccinated today)

@LyonellKeplar @AITA_reddit What’s Rule #2?
