@capitalweather I wonder if the space slingshot company SpinLaunch could deliver a ball bearing at this altitude precisely enough to burst the balloon.

Lots of interest in suspected Chinese spy balloon. Recent sighting north of Kansas City. Forward trajectory based on atmospheric steering currents would bring it close to St. Louis tonight & into North Carolina Saturday. Follow Wash Post live updates here: bit.ly/3DF1yJl

@Clubhouse We've stage dived to get ghosts. The algorithm would be helpful. Clowns are desirable? Our guess is rock paper scissor with randomly selected stage user at stage promotion.

@iamjohnoliver The Yahoo! Answers tribute was excellent. I haven't laughed so hard the whole pandemic. Glad I wasn't drinking my coffee or I'd have scalded sinus tissue and my soundbar may have started an electrical fire. Rofl.

Voting completed. The bombardment of political messaging on every digital service I use can stop now.

@OverlandPark_PD @LeawoodPolice Town Center Plaza Recycling event has no police coverage on North Entrance off of Town Center Drive. There is line jumping and traffic confusion. About went to blows between a sentra and an Acura right in front of me. Wait times > 1hr.

@cvspharmacy How can you be committed to safety without any open pickup/drop off lanes? "Come inside" That's not very committed.

@PalantirTech I'd really like to see what you did for caesium.

To celebrate each Palantir Gotham product release, we design a t-shirt around a chemical element. We're up to Tin. youtube.com/watch?v=0wl7H5…

@lexfridman The stenographer showed up a little early.

Here's a picture of an empty room. Perfectly functioning furniture. Table is set for tea time. Peaceful vibes. Everything is fine.

@johndelancie Now that Picard has shuffled off the mortal coil, is the Q continuum still interested in the approximation of humanity that remains? Missing Q in #Picard for what it's worth.

@RobinDotNet Chicken flavored pill pockets? For the jelly bellys you don't like?

All three coronavirus news is really depressing. And we're still not running a boatload of tests. To deal with this depression and the depression of being stuck all alone in my house, I'm trying THIS treatment:

@SamHarrisOrg @paulbloomatyale How to initiate confronting the denial of those who aren't accustomed to acquiescing to science, data and truth? Generational confirmation bias busting tips? Trump busting tips?

@beejangles Your mom goes to college!

@SchmidtOcean Is SuBastian equipped with an Auryn? Any plans of expanding the fleet to include Artax and Atreyu? :D

@gmiller Sts9 is my favorite!

Need recommendations for electronic dance music that's medium/high energy but minimal lyrics, as background music for writing.

@DeborahKurata Sorry for your loss. Allow yourself extra time to grieve with the absence of your community.

They are harvesting my cousin's organs today. So very sad. But it's comforting knowing she will live on in others. Wish my family could come together right now to share hugs and tears. 😢 This is her (bottom right) and her family. We miss you Jenny! #grief
