Wait, what? Now it costs $40 a month to keep using Tweetdeck?

Sounds like a good excuse to step back from social media.

Interesting. This was the month when the Trump-era decline in the number of employees on the federal payroll stopped. It ticked up just ever so slightly from 2.676 million to 2.677 million between April and May.

Ha! I never noticed the triforce emblem in "Kagemusha" until now.

@CauseofourJoy The Third is great, but sometimes you want the Fifth.

Alexa has gone downhill so fast. Now takes much longer than before to do simple tasks like scheduling reminders. And it feels like just yesterday that she could actually play Bach's Fifth Brandenberg Concerto, starting with the first movement, on request. Now, she either plays the Third instead or goes straight to the Fifth's second movement. The upgrades @amazon did about 6 months ago are a total failure.

@RobertKYarbro @EsotericCD @ScotBertram That would be Leo Ryan.

What is this about four alien species? Sectoids, Floaters, Mutons, and Snakemen, I assume? Still haven't found the Ethereals?

Just re-watching The Expanse, and I guess I missed the first time through that one of the ships was named the "Guy Molinari." Staten Island politics ftw.

@dangainor @BuckSexton I liked that series, although I don't remember the pilot.

[David Freddoso @freddoso]

@dank1j @BuckSexton Best pilot, though.

[David Freddoso @freddoso]

@MPelso @BuckSexton That was a good pilot.

[David Freddoso @freddoso]

@PaMaBoysandDogs @BuckSexton I don't even remember the last season. I just remember that pilot episode. The duct tape.

[David Freddoso @freddoso]

@razor_5599 @BuckSexton Not that there weren't great episodes after that, but the pilot just takes the cake.

[David Freddoso @freddoso]

@jbjiggy @BuckSexton Not saying it's the best show ever, just that its pilot is really the best pilot ever.

[David Freddoso @freddoso]

@razor_5599 @BuckSexton And the pilot is really the best episode, too.

@BuckSexton "Best of all time" is a pretty high bar. But I say Burn Notice.

[David Freddoso @freddoso]

The shuttering of the Schlitz brand reminds me of the late Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Milton Faymie, who always insisted on drinking Schlitz between innings while he was pitching.

Unfortunately, he overdid it during one game. He walked the bases loaded, then walked in the winning run.

And the opponents cheered: "Schlitz! The beer that made Mil Faymie walk us!"

@david__shepard What specific data make you think this?
