Surgeon General's Warning: Tweets may contain sarcasm, cynicism, and mild humor. Ingredients: rants about Theme Parks, Tech, and whatever else is on my mind.

I never used a hotel coffee maker until it was free and I would otherwise would have had to buy coffee.

My son, who is a software engineer, just told me that people who know software just had their Elon Musk realization.

Controversial opinion (probably): I have gotten more follows from accounts that look very much like bots (human name followed by a string of 10 or so random numbers with accounts that are relatively new that have only ever posted retweets) in the past month than ever before. Hmmm

Journalists who cover Elon Musk have been suspended on Twitter tonight: @Donie O'Sullivan from CNN, Aaron Rupar and the Washington Post's @drewharwell.

Rupar tells me he has "no idea" why it happened.

So, eleven-and-a-bit years ago, I wrote the only written narrative in Minecraft: the story that appears after you kill the Ender Dragon. (A narrative which players often call The End Poem.)
Today, I officially librated that ending.

Er, what does that mean?

Hey! You’re finally awake! And by that I mean Twitter is still alive (for now)

[Andy Zalk @andyzalk]

Just in case this is my last tweet (I doubt Twitter is about to die completely, but just in case):

Dang it I have writers block again.

Whelp. Guess this is gonna die with more of a whimper than a bang.

Oh that was somewhat fitting. I guess in the end I actually did say someth—

Played through Deliver Us The Moon. Surprised me, really. Knew nothing about the game and while the gameplay was alright, the story (and twists) sucked me in! Enjoyed it.

Taking a huge risk here having a comment about media on Twitter… I’m really enjoying Andor.

I just saw Nova Scotia referred to as “the Alabama of Canada” by one of its alleged residents online, and, as an American, I now have so many questions…

When someone says they want the United States to be a “Christian nation,” they mean their own preferred definition of “Christian,” which wouldn’t even include a majority of Christians in America. 🧵

It cracks me up when my cats stick their butts in my face—like, I get it’s a compliment that you trust me and are inviting me to sniff or lick your butt but… just, ewe? I don’t need an extreme close up of your butt, kitty.

That’s literally just Chris Pratt. Sounds like he needs to clear his throat or something, not like he’s Italian…

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

Chris Pratt’s Mario voice has been revealed.

Overheard at #disneyland:
Parent to their small child: “At Disneyland, you have to learn to stand on your own feet. It’s part of the experience.”

Which @elonmusk do you like more?

So I’m not a night person, but I’ll make an exception if something is cool enough. But I’m such an unexciting and uncool person that my “cool enough” today was a night at the symphony, and my “out late” still has me in bed by 11.

In other news, Ravel’s Bolero slaps.
