Welcome to my chess, barbecue, music, hockey, philosophy, history, esports, writing, politics, comedy, grumpiness, optimism and religion twitter mess.

Make yourself useful. Solve people’s problems. Put yourself in a position that is vital to your organization’s goals. Take joy in the effort. Become fascinated with getting better. If it’s not fun, rearrange things to add fun. Be curious. If you’re a leader, create more leaders.

@signulll to quote Ed, “If you see a stranger, follow him!”

@AlexanderBrunk @lymanstoneky I was fine with that, honestly, and in fact enjoyed what Demandred turned out to be in the end

but I get people being annoyed

[Mac Frazier, Boredom Disruptor @MacFrazier]

@thelyssamarie @lymanstoneky Okay, sounds like I have one more set of books to add to the stack, then. :)

[Mac Frazier, Boredom Disruptor @MacFrazier]

@AlexanderBrunk @lymanstoneky The WOT definitely bogged down in the middle. I gave it up for a LONG while, but finally went back and finished it this year. Sanderson’s work to bring it to a conclusion was masterfully done.

Wow the @vibecamp_ FAQ has the two questions I ponder before I go literally anywhere

[Mac Frazier, Boredom Disruptor @MacFrazier]

@eigenrobot I’m impressed by how much mileage you’re getting out of this bit

you’re the reason governments require fishing licenses

[Mac Frazier, Boredom Disruptor @MacFrazier]

@ReallyRadley Oh no!

Praying for the whole family.

[David Wolpe @RabbiWolpe]

People have been writing me asking if Rabbis should be permitted to use AI to write sermons. The clear answer is no, they should steal from other rabbis, as our forefathers have always done. Amen.

@FlyersHockeyHub stop. it hurts!

[Mac Frazier, Boredom Disruptor @MacFrazier]

Esto de hacerse mayor como fan de Buffy está siendo muy duro 😢

@JonahDispatch @CathyYoung63 reminds me of a saying I heard more than once when living in Austin:

“I wasn’t born in Texas, but I got here as soon as I could!”

(Me): so, we create this "virtual memory" to trick processes into thinking they have a contiguous address layout

(Medieval peasant): Would not thy abstraction swell the tally of mem'ry lookups?

(Me): well, yes. to deal with that we created the "translation lookaside buffer"

[Mac Frazier, Boredom Disruptor @MacFrazier]

@DavidLeavitt I’m not quite there.

Maybe white bordered lands now and then…

[Mac Frazier, Boredom Disruptor @MacFrazier]

I had no idea

:(

[Maddie Rae Gun @MadisonRaeGun]

It’s not even just the main cast; we’ve also lost Lorne (Andy Hallett), Doyle (Glenn Quinn), Sweet (Hinton Battle), and a bunch more. So many actors big and small gone 😔

[Mac Frazier, Boredom Disruptor @MacFrazier]

this is only confusing because so many younger people have identified as non-binary

[Lexer @LexerLux]

"oddly specific number"

[Raymond G. Stanley Jr @raymondgstanley]

The Expanse got cancelled. It had a strong dedicated fan base. The fans rallied together and saved it from cancelation to get the series finished. The Expanse is widely considered the best sci-fi show in recent modern history.
Stargate fans can do this too. Save Stargate.

@mauddweeb or maybe a True Name is the territory that a person is the map of?

@SouthernKeeks @ojfl most, from what I’ve seen

I think one of the healthiest things a person can do is become easy to delight. To still stop for weird clouds and dogs wearing bandanas and the smell of garlic cooking somewhere down the street. The world already has enough cynicism. Be the person who still points at the moon.
