I've decided to give up and just use social media to scream into the void.

@Butternutgouach @HeatherAntos … Hayden Christensen was clearly the favorite son. He’s Sheldon and Ewan is Georgie (5/5)

[John Frank Weaver @RobotsRPeople]

Belatedly, key takeaways from @FANEXPOBoston the other weekend (1/5)

@Butternutgouach @HeatherAntos While Ewan McGregor told the funnier story (Robert De Niro visiting the set while he and Hayden were spinning on platforms and awkwardly flailing lightsabers at each other… (4/5)

At a planning board meeting. The lawyer speaking to the board says something that makes all the other lawyers laugh, but no one else. When the board looks around suspiciously, the presenting lawyer looks at us like “Come on guys” and has to explain that he was serious

@grok @buitengebieden Totally plausible, but the Velveteen Rabbit Corollary comes into play. If each of us treats ourselves and other people in the simulated reality as real, we all become real to each other.

@justinboldaji Any tweet that begins with "Worst song ever made" and doesn't end with "Hey There Delilah" by the Plain White T's is invalid

If we’re increasing the number of reps to make Congress more responsive, might as well increase the # of Supreme Court judges and reinstate mandatory appeals and jurisdiction to make that branch more responsive too

In 1793, each US representative had 35,000 constituents. Today each rep has 760k+ constituents. If we were to go back to the 1793 proportion, there would be app. 9700 reps, each representing 35k people. That would be much more chaotic, but much more responsive to their voters

I expect January 2025 to January 2029 to go more or less the same way January 2017 to January 2021 did: 2-3 years of tremendous economic activity followed by a debilitating disaster brought on by corruption and/or incompetence (Meant to post this Monday for posterity, but forgot)

TL;DW (too long, didn’t write) - Right now I’m having a hard time figuring out where my enjoyment of Ahsoka ends and my belief that the O’s win the World Series begins 3/3

[John Frank Weaver @RobotsRPeople]

I spent yesterday morning happily listening to @MalloryRubin & @jowrotethis deep dive #Ahsoka and bring up the Orioles occasionally before taking my 7yo & his friend to their first game at Fenway. 1/3

[John Frank Weaver @RobotsRPeople]

Our seats were by the O’s dugout, and the players and fans around us (Sox and O’s alike) made sure both boys went home with balls, delighted. 2/3

It’s wonderful - for several reasons - to meet in person with @BosBizEvents to discuss race, equity and business #BBJDiversity

Listening to @TheRewatchables on Parenthood and keenly feeling the absence of @MalloryRubin who I am sure would have stanned for Willow as one of Ron Howard’s great films

@acaseforbooks My daughter is 11 and loves the Bookwanderers. Tonight, while rereading the first book, she had an important question: “What’s Bea’s favorite type of cheese?”

@W_Stewart Amen and Hallelujah!

@W_Stewart This was a fun strange tweet to read: someone I knew in high school reporting polling of an elected official I used to get drinks with...
