Since Twitter's ownership change in October, I've decided to stop posting & adding value of this site. I'll still check in occasionally, but I'm moving to Mastodon: https://t.co/bQ99l3mrlG 1/5

For now, this article sums it up:

"Stop benefitting from the internet, it’s not for you to enjoy, it’s for us to use to extract money from you. Stop finding beauty and connection in the world, loneliness is more profitable and easier to control."

I've been putting off posting this because I wanted to write a thread about my favorite Twitter interactions over the years. I'm still working on the list, but at the rate things are going for Twitter, I figured I should just post now. 4/5

Would you look at that, UCLA’s at the top of the PAC-12!

@JoshHelfferich Why don't they just put cold water in them?! I get that it can't be a hot drink in a prop, and coffee might stain the costumes, but water would at least make it movie correctly.

[John @Solimander]

I don’t know what bothers me more in a movie: prop cups that clearly don’t have any liquid in them, or actors taking an overly dramatic tiny sip from a bottle in a way that will completely remove all carbonation from their drink.

@AndyLucas On the bright side, I'm happy to report that the UCLA Band had kept that spirit of coolness alive. I've been with them for almost 15 years and every year the students continue to impress and make me proud.

Watching the new Halloween movie and I can’t buy that marching band kids would be such bullies. There’s only one marching band with people like that, and they wear red and yellow with sunglasses at night.

Rover! 6-0 and UCLA is officially going bowling! #GoBruins

[John @Solimander]

At the Rose Bowl early with the @UCLABand for rehearsal.

@PodcastTheRide in case you haven’t seen it before, I found this site with scans of old theme park maps over the years that might be helpful for research https://t.co/QxwooF1mw1

@tvaziri “I’m doing a lot of stuff with movies right now”

[John @Solimander]

After a lovely 4 hours of sleep, I got up early to see the City of Burbank testing their Rose Parade float for this year.

[John @Solimander]

@kaylarhymes Oh I’m absolutely gonna be sleeping through meetings on Monday. Just don’t tell Lally.

Down goes number 15! Rover! 5-0 #GoBruins

[John @Solimander]

I basically missed the first half because I was processing footage, but this is looking like a game worth rewatching tomorrow morning.
