I don’t know who needs to hear this but Neil Diamond, who retired from performing five years ago because of Parkinsons, just had a Broadway show of him open and it at the opening night he did this

This is pretty amazing… but gotta wonder - just how much risk does a wolf, or a person, have to take, to make it more likely to get eaten by a cat?

I thought USA’s ⚽️ strategy vs England was good (not allowing a goal) and I’d just change one thing (scoring a goal)

@BlairBallPhotos Shouldn’t that be ‘Always fails to disappoint’? Or perhaps, ‘Never succeeds to disappoint’? Or ‘Never fails to not disappoint’? Or… or…

People keep talking about the "greatest ever tweet", and so far they're all wrong. There's only one candidate, and it isn't even close.

Twitter fam, thank you for helping me to find the family of the 9 year old girl from NJ who had the police called on her by her neighbor for collecting lantern flies. I connected with them & invited them to @yale for a Black girl led Science Tour! Yesterday—HISTORY was MADE (1/)

If nothing else Mastodon is introducing people into the whole Open Source tradition of trying to be enthusiastic about something really bad that doesn't work at all because you don't want to be rude to the maintainers and the thing you really want to use doesn't work anymore.

@PluribusNews @PoliticsReid Looks like a great source that you’re building. Good luck!

@PluribusNews @PoliticsReid Why do I have to have 3 names to sign up? And what if I’m generally interested in all states? That’s a lot of clicks…

For comparison, this not very flexible, but admittedly very pretty, print was what 44 hours print time got you in 2013.

[Simon Oliver @illuminarti]

3D Printing sure has gotten a lot faster, and a lot more flexible in the 9 years since I first used the ‘Cells Bowl’ by @dizingof as a test print. In this case, over 5 times faster, and infinitely more flexible…
