Me hanging out in the Nowhere Liminal Twitter where nobody sees my posts but that's okay.

Unguent in his demigorgon eyes, the priest supped upon the bones of the tar babies like some pre-cambrian quetzalcoatl, spat out of the mind of a blind god whose face had turned away from this scarred lexicon of others' miseries.

*leans back in chair*

Yes, I'd say my prose is impenetrable enough. McCarthy-esque. Yes.

I still feel like it's missing something.

Oh yes!

*adds ultra-violent necrophilia scene involving priests*

Okay we're good.

@isomorphisms @b_n_d_l_e Before now, the fucker would have had to type it all out himself.

We've given fuckers a slop machine gun.

@violetvariant @cosine_distance It's all fun and games until you run out of wounds, tho.

Gotta keep the conversation flowin somehow.

@moveincircles B-b-but poor Sauron. He had such a show set up for you.😪

[Subjacent Q. Banana @subjacentish]

People who keyword block the latest Social Media Trigger are missing out.

This is when you find out how crazy people really are.

This palantir you've got is just for looking into the gates of Mordor? Naw, it's for the Eye itself.

Now get in there and lock eyes with Sauron.

@sbABetterLeader It's not technically a negative. It's a non-positive. If you look at the instructions that come with the damn test box, they're usually quite explicit about it.

You only would get a true negative with a PCR-type test that explicitly fails to replicate.

Kind of person who demands I acknowledge their extremely boutique hyphenated identity but thinks I'm "English" and doesn't know what country I am from.

[Subjacent Q. Banana @subjacentish]

@Kombuchaholic1 @WeatherBrew Yeah when you figure this out, your data, uh

[Subjacent Q. Banana @subjacentish]

@WeatherBrew @Kombuchaholic1 Tribe I worked with used "yes" as "acknowledgement that you are talking", not agreement.

Lead to a lot of research problems.

Linguist: "Can I say [sentence]?"

Speaker: Yes. (You just did.)

Linguist: Would YOU say it?

Speaker: No. To me it's nonsense.

@doubtline Those of us who study evidentiality, epistemology, and the philosophies embedded in different cultures used the term for how a group gets to a belief.

ex: bird augury is a "way of knowing," and you need to know why/how the Romans used it if you want to understand the Romans.

@zamishka Maybe there's a different Michael Crichton sci-fi book we could base our public health on instead (Andromeda Strain in this case).

Maybe we should bring back dinosaurs. For the economy?

@cosine_distance @violetvariant Me walkin up to my homies Roy, Dave, and Lisa, getting ready to discuss some bloody groin wounds.

@UEVOSrune @UnfinishedOwl Linguists are really versatile, but I'm pretty sure David Pentland wasn't the dog from Jimmy Neutron.

But I can't guarantee it.🫡

@MrsSarahZee @sorcova_de_corb Sort of. He had a father. But out of the immediate picture, and sounds like much the same boat. Was a very Modern Family.

I knew a LOT of Adam Lanzas... Some days I would wake up and wonder why I wasn't one.😆🫥

@drvalerieisin @Agent888488 I'm trying to think about this for the cultures & languages I know best.

They believe that there were Beings here before them, who now inhabit a sort of parallel(?) landscape. They nearly always only bring violence & madness, tho.

[Subjacent Q. Banana @subjacentish]

@MrsSarahZee @sorcova_de_corb His mother infantilized him severely and kept him essentially alone in a basement. She was the first person he killed.
