@jmechner I never played Prince of Persia and choked up knowing this was going to be a story about Tomi before I opened the thread. ❤️

Who remembers this moment in Prince of Persia (1989) where a magic mirror suddenly blocks the hero's path (and what happens afterward)? This moment was actually never planned to be in the game. My original vision was a game with lots of traps, but NO enemies... (1/10)

@harper Nine months was the longest I went without switching out my everyday backpack until I found the Gossamer Gear Vagabond. It's now been a constant companion for over 4 years. There are bags I prefer aesthetically, but nothing comes close functionally. gossamergear.com/products/vagab…

Ain’t nothin’ in the middle of the road except yellow stripes, bunch of dead armadillos, and almost all the damn voters.

@RossFloate Read this aloud to @dahlia, who literally got goosebumps and replied, "I'm not living close enough to the edge." Thanks for this.

@jandersen I recently met Joe Flowers, who designed the Condor Cloudburst axe, among others. He says the ideal axe length is from your armpit to your hand. He recommended D. Cook’s ‘The Ax Book’ and Bret McLeod’s ‘American Axe’. I found both gorgeous and useful.

@Wattenberger The seemingly effortless way you wield all three, and your generosity and clarity sharing your understanding. There's a future where I need to get real serious about D3, and if there's a better marked path into those woods than your intro, I haven't found it.

@le Let each email arrive in your inbox as a wave from the ocean. Which of the seven oceans is the wave from? Permit them to crash upon your shore, provenance unexamined, ephemerally discerned from the mighty ambiguity that they must slip through your toes to return to.

@JamesSACorey Just rewatched this two nights ago for the first time in years and shouted exactly this at the screen. It wasn't even first contact! Space truckers should know better.

@jonwiley @harper I struggled with how to categorize them — agreed that this is clearer. You know words, Jon, you have the best words. ;)

@kellan @harper I see the crassness as the trojan horse that is selling Trump's supporters on making America great by making it gone.

@harper I guess it's obvious, but I hadn't really internalized it until today. It surprises me that I haven't seen it discussed more.

@harper Hastening the fall of public nation-states. Trump and Putin see the rise of corporate imperialism; seek to be our Tessier-Ashpools.

Banksy's pulling an all-nighter right now like "The queen posed like Abu Ghraib photo? Nah. David Cameron in Ziggy Stardust makeup? Nah."

How strange to be alive during the "how could they have not seen it coming" part of the history lesson.
