This isn't just better if you don't like the vibe - it's just more effective: the iPad enables all this stuff—brings it to life, not that this stuff is smashed in and obsolete.

Reversing feels much more "bicycle for the mind" vibe.

Something about the Apple ad didn't sit well with me.

So I reversed the video. Check it out. I feel happy now.

When is cancer not "out of the blue"?

[Drew Comments @sjs856]

What is described in this tweet not only didn’t happen, but it is biophysically impossible for cancer cells to go through their cycles fast enough to divide enough times for a tumor to appear in 2 years.

The tweeter made ALL that sh*t up.

Too bad you only covered Sugar Bowl for about 10 minutes, compared to 90 minutes for the Rose Bowl.

Michael Penix Jr. put on a clinic against Texas 🥶

Is “miscommunicating” not a word?? It’s in dictionaries, but all my apps say it’s a misspelling.

On this day, I’m thankful for one of the funniest scenes in TV history.

As god as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.

[Chris Risdon (he/him) @ChrisRisdon]

@minakimes Quality of play in first game of season (penalties, scoring, wins, etc.) compared to number of snaps by starters in preseason (particularly quarterbacks, natch). Is the play sloppier in initial games the fewer snaps taken in preseason? Is there any correlation?

[Chris Risdon (he/him) @ChrisRisdon]

We, generally/historically, have been apathetic to elections outside of president, ignoring congress, state legislature, city council, school boards, etc. But that apathy has allowed Christian Nationalists' "local" strategy to work. Start with smallest community and aggregate up.

[Chris Risdon (he/him) @ChrisRisdon]

@leeloowrites Yeah, living in Texas, I have days where I'm ready to fight and days where I'm just tapped out.

[Chris Risdon (he/him) @ChrisRisdon]

@leeloowrites @joenatoli So yes, this can easily apply to same a sex couple holding hands in public. Christian nationalists don't want their kids exposed to LGBTQ+ content, then why would they want them exposed the LGBTQ+ people? Suppressing any and all of it is the logical endgame for these fuckers.

Up until a year ago I noticed 1-2 bot followers a year. Now I get at least one a day.

[Chris Risdon (he/him) @ChrisRisdon]

And now, not just any far right nut-job, but an unequivocal Christian Nationalist as House Speaker.

My kid is dressing up as a shark this year for Halloween. I told them I’ll give them extra candy anytime they knock and say “candy-gram” instead of trick or treat.

Kind of funny that at this point in time it's "a table of the save icon" and not "a table of a floppy disk"

[Andy Budd @andybudd]

They made a table of the save icon. Bonkers!

[Chris Risdon (he/him) @ChrisRisdon]

I'm only now realizing that some posts I thought just contained a picture are actually links to articles.

There is just no joy in Ashoka. Everyone is self serious and dour.

Andor wasn’t swashbuckling, but you didn’t get the impression everyone was clinically depressed.

[Chris Risdon (he/him) @ChrisRisdon]

@thecoolidea @UW_Football The guy who would never call fair catch.

[Chris Risdon (he/him) @ChrisRisdon]

My kid didn’t understand my giddiness when we’re watching one of their animated shows (Dragon Prince) and i see a beat for beat reference to Twin Peaks red room. Very random but was oddly appropriate.

[Andy Budd @andybudd]

Question. When I say the word “folksonomy” do your a) recognise it and know what it means and b) see this concept still being used and referred to in the wild?

[Chris Risdon (he/him) @ChrisRisdon]

@strategy_chris @astr0mnaut Yeah, I think it helped to know _who_ the are. But I don’t remember any plots from when I watched.

My wife, who hasn’t watched any stuff was annoyed for the first 15 min with some show/character references. But was fine once there was some expository dialog.

[Chris Risdon (he/him) @ChrisRisdon]

Re: Ahsoka, I liked the vibe and aesthetic, and am cool with the plot, but just felt something was off on the pacing/editing of the first two episodes. Seemed uneven, with scenes that had odd or slow pacing and dialog that didn't flow.

[Chris Risdon (he/him) @ChrisRisdon]

@strategy_chris @astr0mnaut I watched about 2 seasons of Rebels. Watched all of Clone Wars.
