@tallsnail Counterpoint: my oldest didn’t start talking until we took him to Disney World at 2 and a half. Best money I ever spent.

> assemble the squadrons together for a big crossover movie

We could call it "Global War" or "The Whole Planet at War" or maybe... World War.

Sera is now off all medications except for her blood thinner, which will be for life unless she gets a different kind of heart valve in the future. Her heart patch is holding, the fluid is gone, and she miraculously has zero neurological issues from the emboli from the infection.

In 10-15 years she’ll need her valve replaced because it is a child sized valve. But for now she is doing well, and Philadelphia, which has a world class pediatric cardiology department, will be within an hour of us, and Nemours Children’s Hospital only twenty minutes away in Delaware.

Once we move we will be setting up a trust for her lifetime medical care for her heart. Any extra from the GoFundMe @uppityhobbit generously ran for us after medical bills will go to that.

Thank you to my mutuals for your prayers and your support. I couldn’t imagine that she would be basically back to normal after March already, but she is. God is good. Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on us, and St. John of God, continue to guard Sera’s heart ❤️

There was a 40 year period in history when samurai, pirates, and cowboys all technically existed at the same time.

@JoshRaby @dsawyer I think streaming revealed that not many people were actually watching the special features.

@AlmostMedia @pmarca We know that the moon AI will be Catholic, am I right @johncwright2001 ?

@politicalmath And yet it was always inevitable.

[Russell Newquist @rnewquist]

“Impossible” is too strong, and if you over index on that it’ll wipe you out.

But this is directionally accurate.

This is my quant

[Russell Newquist @rnewquist]

Can confirm.

Being a highly intelligent outlier doesn't negate your ability to be retarded, paradoxically it actually enables far more creative ways of being retarded.

US President Ronald Reagan was shown "WarGames" (1983) at Camp David the weekend it was released. He loved the movie but it also freaked him out. A few days later, at a White House meeting that included the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Reagan asked, “Could something like this really happen? Could someone break into our most sensitive computers?”

The answer came back a week later: “Mr. President, the problem is much worse than you think.” That led not only to a significant revamp of how computer security was handled at the Defense Department, but also passage of an anti-hacking law that would eventually evolve into US Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, 1986. Clips of "WarGames" (1983) were shown during the congressional hearings where lawmakers debated the need for hacking legislation.

P.S: On this day, 43 years ago, John Badham's "WarGames" (1983) premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, France.
