I get micro-obsessional bursts of fanaticism that occasionally evolve into interests.

In 1999 Ray Kurzweil wrote, "The year is 2029. The machines will convince us that they are conscious, that they have their own agenda worthy of our respect. They'll embody human qualities and claim to be human, and we'll believe them."

@JimmyBroadbent @capybaroness As someone who’s been following you on YouTube since 2016-ish, this is my farvourite reply of yours, ever.

@ComradeSkeletor @sportswithjohn I’m in favour of this.

@_screenhog @JaseRuggy If I didn’t know you’d have made this kind of joke long before you were a father, I would have thought this was such a typical dad joke.
Well done, either way.

@_screenhog @IglooLane ‘Twas very likely the best collection of (~Chrises~ ~Chrisses~ ~Chris’s~) people named Chris ever to be collected in such a small space.

Well, about 68 more people voted on this than I expected. So I felt it warranted some research. Supposedly, bread can be considered a gas-in-solid solution (https://t.co/TyhEFu69xM) or, as @csopso put it, colloid.

[Zach Petch @_zilp]

Serious question: What state of matter is bread?

@healeycodes It seems Apple is leaning a little too heavily on JavaScript.

Today I learned that First Nations people are vastly over-represented in the Canadian prison system, comparable to the way black people are over-represented in the American prison system. And it’s getting worse. https://t.co/QZIykEyxmx

This is horrifying. Shocking. Repulsive. This calls for more than a simple, “it reminds us of a shameful part of our history.” 215 dead children found in Kamloops, BC.

@JimGaffigan @TheFelixKay This makes way more sense. Thank you!

@_screenhog I think there’s a notable difference between wasting water and having too much water. Similarly with the internet. Downloading/streaming/scrolling endlessly when you’re bored could maybe be closer to “wasting the internet,” but I don’t really know.

[Zach Petch @_zilp]

@_screenhog I sincerely hope not.

@_screenhog @_Brantone I could be mistaken, but I believe that is actually the original saying, which over time was shortened, with the original meaning still in memory, and then the original meaning forgotten.

[Zach Petch @_zilp]

@_screenhog That would be absolutely delightful.

[Zach Petch @_zilp]

@_screenhog You are a terrific human being. I’m glad to know you. Even if it’s only a little.
