"Lord of the Rings
Epic fantasy adventure franchise"

😰it's more than that, honest it is.

@covermesongs @LINGUA_IGNOTA_ _Bad Boys_ was the first cover of hers I heard. From an artist whose original songs feel like confessions, like invocations, like elaborate curses; this read like an inversion of the song.

@MorganJerkins I hadn't heard it. I did find this, which suggests it's been spread in part by … well, I don't want to paraphrase or pull-quote:

when the text actually contains "(sic)" next to an animal breed (e.g. "lepenguins"), it's a sign the author is really going for this "it's exotic because I show you. There are Fra'as and krifes and stords. The Fra'as have stoons and eat off of flates!" https://t.co/IhN1TD2EZo

A non-Euclidean visualization where fibers look like tentacles.

SL(2,R) has its usual metric, but you can choose a different metric, and use the Lie group structure to make it homogeneous. This one is weirder than just stretching along the fibers, which is more tame.

@Kalarigamerchic I’m not even sure how ratings are computed any more. Is it still Nielsen diaries?

Learn _this_ TikTok dance.

I'll wait.

@JanetteKirchner and what about those classrooms? Sure: you can move the desks farther apart (if you actually _have_ desks), but you still have 150 people in a lecture hall for Physics 201.

@Dr_AMeagher @BaelockHolmes I may have actually heard/seen this in school.

Rush Limbaugh died months ago and has been replaced with a deepfake AI neural clone. Pass it on.

"Avoid them like the plague.

Because, you know, they may have the plague."

I was going to point @Blancanieves721 to this, but she's probably already seen it.

Not that we've seen a Pringles can in ten years.

[Cory Doctorow NO LONGER ON TWIT TER @doctorow]

You don't have to shell out to Big Chalk to get yourself some big chalk. Giant sidewalk chalk can be made for pennies from tempura paint, plaster of Paris and water. Your shameful plague-binge Pringles cans make a dandy mold.

@cpmatwell @doctorow Suprematism.

Supremacism is different.

[Gaβle Ratchet @LostinTex]

@cpmatwell @doctorow There's a series? (we have the book, maybe I'll review that section. I was mostly there for the deco and supremacism.)

@xeni (glad I read the rest of the thread before looking up the ancient tradition of the talking pot. I thought it was like a talking stick, or something.)

In 50 years, the schedule has been improved slightly: the fastest Acela trains make the trip in 1:11, covering 109 miles, at an average speed of 92 mph. That's hard to do in a Corvette, even without traffic. For Joe Biden, the faster train meant making it home to his family.

[Gaβle Ratchet @LostinTex]

@spatch Didn't I hear another sign of the End Times—that they had stopped making those?

*googles*

Wait, what?!? They're coming back!

In 2020? there must be a catch

If Trump really wanted Hillary locked up, he should have just hired her...
