@DDDDoherty @rockhall The fact that Iron Maiden, Billy Idol, Ozzy Osborne aren’t in the HOF is a travesty. Arguably pioneering artists in their genres.

@DomOrsi @musicstruggles1 Classic. Reminds me of the time we played “Sunday, Bloody Sunday” live a few times and my amp had been turned off. Lead riff sounded… nonexistent.

@DFisman Also, asking as a teacher going back to work after avoiding exposure for the last four weeks (in which time we got our boosters—but still!).

[James @jamespuntillo]

@DFisman Really curious to get your general recommendation for children <1 years old re: omicron risk. My now 6-mo. old had two doses in vitro when my wife was pregnant almost 7 months ago. What does the science say around risk of omicron?

[James @jamespuntillo]

@TabathaSouthey It’s my greatest hope, actually.

7:58PM, Christmas Eve. Predictably vindicated.

[James @jamespuntillo]

Why ask the tough questions, when you can ask the easy ones and be right most of the time! E.g. will Hamiltonians find a good reason to set off fireworks on Christmas Eve?

Revisiting this tweet one year on. Die Hard still inspires (…perplexity, mostly).

[James @jamespuntillo]

Today, @danirogerson learned that there isn’t just one Die Hard film, but five.

FIVE.

A whole PENTALOGY of Bruce Willis fighting nefarious bad guys with accents.

@primalpoly Flowers, probably. Reasons:
- (relatively) well-established collectors already exist, can tap into collective wisdom
- complexity
- opp. for greater variety (probably endless variety)

I get to do cool stuff at my job.

Today, @BishopReding students visited @UofT and learned all about research as part of an exciting new collaboration between @uStMikes and student-researchers. Thanks to @mazzanti6, @tgodwaldt, and @hcdsb’s Anthony Cordeiro for giving keynote addresses.

[James @jamespuntillo]

@mpuntii Yes

[The Rundown @therundowntvo]

"The Handmaid’s Tale" is a cautionary tale on the fragility of democracy. Tonight on #TheDemocracyAgenda, @margaretatwood speaks to @spaikin about the past, present and future of that form of government. At 8/11pm | Producer: @wodekszemberg

@WaytowichNeil Wait, did you just copy and paste this tweet from last week?

[James @jamespuntillo]

@The_Geraldoid Make Humans Great Again.™

I, for one, welcome a straight shot of Boss Metal Zone from time to time. In small doses.

“Conspiracy theorists share schematic for “5G chip” they claim is implanted in COVID-19 vaccines – only it's actually for the Boss Metal Zone” ⁦@DomOrsi⁩ https://t.co/GiYBoK9XdY

“Bucatini is spaghetti but thicker and with a hole in it, meaning it absorbs 200 percent more sauce than its thinner, hole-free brethren, due to math.”

[James @jamespuntillo]

@lastpositivist Why is this the best articulated takedown of the generic humanities grad ever? No one’s talking about this.

Thank you for inadvertently summing up about 95% of the novel.
