Hello world! Been quiet here since 2021. Took a sabbatical, needed a break (mental health stuff), and honestly haven't been a fan of this platform since Elon took over. But I'm still around, still illustrating science, and might post again from time to time. Hi again.

@ianbremmer In the very next sentence he talks about the heartbreaking effects of the war on global trade, lol 😂

and whose fault is that tucker?  hmm?

@SimoRoth This looks really good. I loved Dune II and C&C, still play once in a while.

@Hoellenaufsicht Diese Typen sind so widerlich. 😤

Ilkay Gündogan wurde in Gelsenkirchen geboren.

@OFFFest A little sad I couldn't make it to OFFF this year. Hopefully next year again.

@justthore Prost!

Wie ich aktuell die Corona-Lage in der Timeline ertrage

@GauntletW @xkcd Have we confirmed yet that this is actually a hole in the graph. Seems suspicious. Maybe it's just a scatter plot with a single data point and they are using an unusual symbol that vaguely resembles a hole? 🤔

@xkcd I swear these clowns can't tell their asymptote from a hole in the graph

Coordinate Plane Closure xkcd.com/2735

@xkcd The quality control of coordinate planes isn't what it used to be. When I was a young scientist we never had such closures. Outrageous!

@wilihnarvaezG Finally some good news.

Lesther Alemán y Max Jerez, ya no están en la cárcel, confirma la Alianza Universitaria. Ambos forman parte de más de 200 presos políticos que habrían sido desterrados de Nicaragua la mañana de este 9 de febrero y que van rumbo hacia EEUU.

@StefFun Klar, Dashcam. Ganz wichtig vor Gericht falls dem Wetterballon mal vorgeworfen wird sich unrechtsgemäß im Verkehr verhalten zu haben...

Nur mal theoretisch: benötigt ein Wetterballon eine Kamera, mit der man als Kollateralschaden, quasi aus Versehen, hochauflösende Bilder von militärischen Einrichtungen generieren würde?

@NZXT Just finished my new build with the H9 Elite and couldn't be happier. Lots of small improvements over the O11 XL which I used in my previous build.

Introducing the all-new NZXT H9 Series cases! Our latest lineup of cases, the H9 Elite and H9 Flow, offer an incredible platform to build a powerful PC and show it off - all with plenty of space for premium components. Make performance an art. 9️⃣ nzxt.co/h9

@holgi Wissen wir denn sicher dass Russland die Pipeline sabotiert hat?

@NightdiveStudio @SystemShockGame Please just tell us, is the game coming this year?

February Kickstarter update is live: kickstarter.com/projects/15988…

@mpoessel @PatrickGensing Danke schön! Bin ganz ihrer Meinung, wenn schon Faktencheck dann bitte auch präzise.

@cobie You sir are a true master of your craft.

My statement on previous comments

@pmddomingos Well, my superior gut-feeling estimate refutes yours. Now what?

Funny how none of the tweeters furiously attacking my estimate have a better one.

Half of the female STEM faculty in the US were hired over more qualified men.

@HolisticPrepar1 @RobertaAAvery @jsho12 @ggreenwald But we don't. There's no global conspiracy among doctors, scientists and media worldwide to hide millions of Pfizer deaths. What we do have is antivax interest groups like the anonymous CCCA or attention-seeking individuals like Robert Malone.

@HolisticPrepar1 @RobertaAAvery @jsho12 @ggreenwald So thrombosis was widely reported last year although it only affected roughly 1:1.000.000 and you are telling me the Pfizer vaccine that has been administered to *billions* of people kills or harms more people than Covid? If so we'd have many millions of documented cases by now.

You can take the vaccine, publicly announce you've taken the vaccine, encourage anyone who asks your advice to take the vaccine, but the minute you question a single prong of COVID orthodoxy, you'll be called "anti-vax." It's a term of insult & coercion devoid of fixed meaning.
