@dick_nixon Sir, I read Bart Giamatti's 'Green Fields of the Mind' every year at the beginning of the postseason. One of the most beautiful pieces of baseball writing.

@DannyBate4 Excuse me, "fufflannal"

@DannyBate4 Somehow, "fluffannal" seems even more depraved.

One history fact that always cheers me up is that the Etruscan equivalent of the Greek god Dionysus was adorably called Fufluns.

@imillhiser That was nothing compared to the time Barack Obama wanted dijon mustard on his burger.

@SamTheGeek @wvualphasoldier I’m so sorry. But thank you. That makes sense.

@SamTheGeek @wvualphasoldier Do you have a source? (I don’t mean this in a condescending, twitterish way.)

@wvualphasoldier @SamTheGeek Oooh. Oh shit, I just got it. Son of a...this is so bad.

@scalzi Have you considered writing about what that ship would be like? With all of them fucking off to the sun?

This is absolutely beautiful and so so so cool!! Love this application so much! 🔥🔥🔥

@mosspuppet I learned my lesson in 10.5

Anyone else excited about widgets in iOS then realized you don’t actually care and won’t use them?

@NateSilver538 So...according to the Tipping Point chart, Texas and Georgia *are* potential tipping points but Iowa *isn't*, even though IA is sandwiched between them in the "snake". Am I misunderstanding something?

@TaliesinEvitel Okay, something I've been wondering: With the advent of Chromie Time should we expect to be squished back down to 50 with every prepatch going forward? That would keep talent rows and "every level matters" in check.

@dlberes @themarkup I've been beta testing Neeva, if for some reason, you guys end up writing about alternatives to "free" sites and want another opinion.

@TheMilliebug @Twitch @TwitchSupport This is almost certainly a stupid question, but would it be possible to create a way for users to choose how they're being served with ads? Ex: You get x many targeted ads/month or y many untargeted/month or 0 for z dollars.

The aim of a business is to make as much money as possible. We should be trying to help them make money so we can continue streaming. There are thousands of us, surely we can be more productive than angry ranting at the poor @Twitch and @TwitchSupport account managers? /thread

Hoo boy, I didn’t think I was going to make this thread, but: My name is Millie and I work in a tech team that puts ads on our company’s website. Or I did, until the bottom fell out of ads due to COVID. With @Twitch introducing mid-rolls, here are some things you should know:

@TaliesinEvitel No Ardenweald?

@imillhiser This is probably a stupid question, but would it be possible to fix the Senate by changing the value of every senator's voice to be directly proportional with their state's population?

@WvuAlphaSoldier @jeffabailey I’ll take a look.

@TaliesinEvitel Boooooook!

Vote for the tree you idiots

@imillhiser I always read this in a Worf voice.
