@snipeyhead @Evil_Mog Envelopes?

@sighyam Yeah Ngl as a Thai American I think the US exports the absolute most obnoxious people to Asia, just across the board.

1. Amazon is in a world of legal hurt — I just read the less-redacted version of the FTC’s monopoly lawsuit. Lots of evidence of Amazon execs knowingly screwing consumers & killing competition, aware of their own wrong-doing.

A few highlights. First, destroying evidence.

@dernabette @ask_aubry 1) y’all look cute as hell 2) I must know your skin care routine

@ask_aubry This guy…

man having to click "no cookies" each time i visit the same site is so annoying. if only there was a simple persistent client-side storage method for small amounts of plain text data

@qDot (But the idea of milking toddlers is funnier I’ll admit )

[Dr. Amanda Williams @metamanda]

@qDot Seriously though, the market for toddler formula is substantial in Asia and I think the formula manufacturers would like to make it happen in North America too. If your toddler is a very picky eater I could see this being a tempting product just to make sure they get nutrition.

@UjuAnya I think this tweet alone earns you a place in heaven.

@Again_nadine @zeinabsdawn Nothing. You can’t control who you’re related to, and writing an Israeli character doesn’t make you a Zionist any more than writing Anna Karenina made Tolstoy an adulterer. Money and explicit support are one thing but if that’s all the “proof” against this author then I just dgaf

[Dr. Amanda Williams @metamanda]

@sighyam But from the border to phnom pen was exactly the vibe you’re describing. 8 people in a compact sedan no AC. Dirt roads. Good times. 🤣🤣🤣

[Dr. Amanda Williams @metamanda]

@sighyam This may have been before your time but I remember a 150B bus that used to leave from Jatujak Park to Aranyaprathet, where there’s a ton of casinos *between* Thai and Cambodian border control. Casinos subsidize anything that brings gamblers so the bus was NICE. AC and breakfast.

I’m about 5’3” so here I am hoping it all went to IQ in my case.

[Dr. Amanda Williams @metamanda]

@heyitshuy_ @sighyam 😮😮😮 wow ok that’s actually really cool, I learned something today, thanks!

[Dr. Amanda Williams @metamanda]

@sighyam There’s a bunch of Italian meatball recipes that include anchovies for flavor so I honestly think you’re in the clear. (I throw a dash of fish sauce on grilled broccolini, unapologetically.)

[Dr. Amanda Williams @metamanda]

@ddignan @JasonKander I wish I had a good answer! I grew up there but haven’t been back in ages. There used to be this guy with a smoker at the farmers market in the Loop who did ribs and snoot. That was half a lifetime ago, these days I’m no better than Google. :(

[Dr. Amanda Williams @metamanda]

@tomcoates Both parties aren’t the same, that’s true. One party are a bunch of unhinged fascists and the other party is mostly chickenshit. If I’m forced to choose, the latter is clearly the less bad option, but I hate that these are the choices.

[Dr. Amanda Williams @metamanda]

@mark_riedl Yeah hence the question marks. I just… don’t know what they were doing here 🤣 though I got a laugh at the end when they stated that they had writing support from chatGPT.

[Dr. Amanda Williams @metamanda]

I know two of the authors and… I think they might be trolling?

[Mark Riedl @mark_riedl]

Jokes on you! I hold my breath when writing papers.
