@damnyouwillis Artist's name, please!

@CyberScoopNews @AJVicens Autosomal DNA test data is far less valuable than the seller would have you believe. Several million profiles might have some value for research, but individuals aren't that interesting.

@RpsAgainstTrump "I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part!"

@coolerkdawg @SS41117693 @RichardHanania Not exactly. It's more of a communication experiment. He's interested in how the tweet is perceived and who reacts to it, favorably or negatively.

@_jessicasachs You're talking about a malevolent deity, though.

@dianerocks52 @RadioFreeTom It's a minor laceration but now there's blood in the water.

@ENBrown Amazon's UI features to snare Prime subscriptions are deceptive as well as annoying, but doesn't the FTC have hundreds of more important things to do?

@dick_nixon The international law, and the caselaw, regarding the RMS Titanic is specific to that wreck. Anyone who tries to apply general maritime salvage principles is obviously not familiar with the case.

@JoshuaKnaak @RVAwonk Yes, we don't know what the "rebuild" involved or how frequently the vessel was tested since then. But, digging up a five-year-old complaint and omitting subsequent history is dodgy journalism.

[David Thomas @DSharpMinor11]

@JoshuaKnaak @RVAwonk In 2019, following tests at the Deep Ocean Test Facility in Annapolis, Titan was derated to 3,000m. That caused a two-year delay, during which the hull was rebuilt and retested. Since 2021, it has accomplished over a dozen dives to the Titanic site.

@MAGAFRV @bluestarrfl OceanGate Expeditions has done over a dozen dives to the Titanic site in this submersible. It's definitely not a "tin can".

@schadhayes I think that selling them fancy toys and shiny objects is the best way to separate rich people from their money. Most other methods ultimately come down to violence or threats of violence.

@BriannaWu @senatorshoshana Who's got the nerve to complain to the HOA?

@Debsdesertdream @RadioFreeTom @jack_hamilton They're promoting yet another book about music by writers who can't read music. They can write words about words, though. In this case, the lyrics are Rorschach tests, so we get a tour of Alex Pappademas's inner world.
