@lisperati Please do release your own music.

And on a similar note, I know an 8yr old who will be thrilled if you bring back dogbunnypuzzle.

@ScottJCollette @MalignantApple Came back up around 3:30am. Roughly a 4 hour outage. KTLA’s got the story: https://t.co/wcLGNcoIGo

20 mins into a blackout here in Echo Park, the longest I can remember experiencing since Aug. ‘03. These are so rare! My every search for “blackout” finds it referring to something other than a power outage.

@robinhanson My jokester friend follows that statement with “just kidding!” 5% of the time. Hearing the argument makes it much less likely to all be a joke, so I should expect to update my beliefs conditional on that argument actually happening, right?

Seems pretty clearly the right answer to this is “Solarpunk by day, cyberpunk by night” 😎🌚🏙

I asked for TV and internet packages. Why are the Mi Plan Latino options for TV all bundled with slower internet? And yes, these were all the options provided. @Ask_Spectrum

@KFILE Inspired by the Swartzwelder interview in the New Yorker, we watched “Itchy & Scratchy & Marge” with the kids today, which had this: https://t.co/bVJIeV6C9C —and I saw this tweet moments after. Tweetably synchronicitous in my view.

[Anshul Amar @a_amar]

This one shows the (I think) more interesting synchronicity: where the Republican Party started and what its core has now come to. (I will not say “where it ended”, because I do not think the party’s story is ending here.) 4/4

Pivotal day with a lot we’ll have to work through. My pick for photo of the day: https://t.co/SqPXoSoR6L 1/4

There’s another picture circulating of this same confederate flag bearer walking by portraits of famous Confederates. Very worthy of comment. 3/4

@anelson_os Not quite a physical unit: (Gregorian date) = approximately-linear-but-not-quite-fn (Julian date). The differing leap years introduce discontinuities.

It’s an unbelievably sad day for the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. After two major cable failures, the telescope is on the brink of an uncontrolled collapse and the NSF has decided to demolish the structure. https://t.co/qdtyM0DZ5o

Jeopardy! is saddened to share that Alex Trebek passed away peacefully at home early this morning, surrounded by family and friends. Thank you, Alex.

"under the overfitted brain hypothesis, dreams are 'noise injections' that serve the purpose not of enforcing what is learned when awake, but rather counteracting the overfitting associated with that learning." https://t.co/MBrmb5ONEK

If we end up with a 270-268 scenario, what’s the recent thinking about electors’ faithfulness? Last time there were 5D+2R defectors, I think.

This seems to be the case at hand...
