@betzib It's called staying inside and drinking cocoa.

@betzib It has been a weirdly rough year for them. They are such jerks.

After 2 lectures I was hooked on Ancient Civilizations of North America, and after finishing all of them I had to accept I'm an @ArchaeologistEd fan now. You maybe spent 5 mins on Cahokia in school, but there is *so much more*. @Wondrium @thegreatcourses wondrium.com/ancient-civili…

@koutropoulos Time to rest?

@betzib (sad trombone sound)

@betzib @TheRealHoarse You and @whoelsa ... ☹️ I have to eat a whole jar by myself. 🫒

Name something a lot of people really like that you can’t stand.

@Gioiosa707 @Joanne_Lake @dreyswa Are they mean? Can potato bugs be kept as pets?

What’s the worst thing you’ve stepped on barefooted?

@betzib @RateMyTakeaway Well, there's paneer, right? This is like Curry poutine.

15" Chip Inn Meat Box with Curry Sauce

@LoneDryerSock @betzib What's worse, people publicly posting "I don't know" as an answer, or repeated questions clearly answered in the product description?

@betzib My favorite is actually the reviews that say "I just ordered this! Really excited to try...can't wait for it to arrive." 😂😭

@LoneDryerSock @betzib This is a constant irritation for me, and it's been an issue for years. Amazon can't implement a rudimentary idiot filter? Like, don't let someone review something until after they've received the package?

This. Good insight in this discussion of a form of "white" American culture, which has shaped corporate workplaces and is invisible to those in the inside, who take it for granted. Frustration comes from its thoughtless, blanket application, not necessarily the culture itself.

@adamjodonnell The recipes aren't bad either. But seriously, is the NYT editorial board huffing fumes straight from the tailpipe of Murdoch's limo?

WHY DO I KEEP MY NYTIMES SUBSCRIPTION???

It’s really disheartening to see people resorting to the idea that “history will judge them” when we’re in the middle of multiple intersecting crises that demonstrate how bad our society is at learning from history.

@betzib SO MANY

I'm a poll worker and this was in the just-before-we-start mailing and oh yeah, this is a totally normal election and America is totally fine, absolutely fine

BIDEN 2020: HE WON'T TRY TO KILL YOU

Oh my god, Katie Porter.

@betzib @e_b_bobadilla So, today we've learned that cardio is a good way to mask anxiety.

@k8em0 Bookmarked this tweet for future reference by a friend... yeah, that's the ticket. I'm just going to hobble over to my old man desk now and totally not look into this.

Middle aged + pandemic + weight loss + not wearing shoes = fat pad atrophy. I now have house slippers with arch support & heel cushioning & therefore I can officially shake my fist from my rocker at you kids on my lawn, and you kids have learned a new old person medical term. 💪🏼
