Fun little trick in the Sunday New York Times crossword yesterday: the central theme clue was "The better of two sci-fi franchises", and regardless of whether you put Star Wars or Star Trek, the crossing clues worked

@TrevMcKendrick Thanks! Good luck with your 83b. I finally convinced a close friend to 83b his shares instead of buying memestocks

Dear @mtgreenee and @RepGosar: As an immigrant, I served on active duty in the US military to defend your right to say stupid stuff. What makes America great is that we don’t judge you based on bloodline, we look at your character. So take your nativist crap and shove it.

To this day, my favorite science story ever is How We Learned that Bees can Perceive Time 🐝⏱

@wigu You try Prey? Similar vibes and even more variety in weapons, powers, enemies, etc.

@gsingers Unfortunately, everything is incredibly expensive right now. The Nvidia 30xx is the latest and greatest, but very hard to find.

I’ll never forget the feeling when I learned that my own government questioned my loyalty. Before Congress I worked in diplomacy at StateDept. I once received a letter banning me from working on Korea issues just because of my last name. I was stunned. (THREAD) #StopAsianHate

Exoticizing is dehumanizing.
Desexualizing is dehumanizing.
Fetishizing is dehumanizing.
Infantilizing is dehumanizing.
Ridiculing is dehumanizing.
Gaslighting is dehumanizing.

Hyun Jung Grant was one of the 8 people murdered on Tuesday. She was an Korean immigrant who worked at Gold Spa—a single mother of 2 sons. Her son Randy Park, age 23, said “She wasn’t just my mother. She was my friend.” https://t.co/vu7qpmEXBU

Kamala's name being mispronounced at one of the most important events of her life is very relatable

@thelabdude It's a licensing thing. When I was working with Beats, there were a lot of weird requirements for search that ties to licensing of individual tracks, even within albums.

"Post-truth is pre-fascism, and Trump has been our post-truth president. When we give up on truth, we concede power to those with the wealth and charisma to create spectacle in its place," the historian Timothy Snyder writes in @NYTmag. https://t.co/q7fnZDpYpt

"Members of Congress who sustained the president’s lie, despite the available and unambiguous evidence, betrayed their constitutional mission. Making his fictions the basis of congressional action gave them flesh." https://t.co/vy5Viytllv

@colonydrop Gotta start up again, been more than a bit lazy

@colonydrop Quora is good for that sort of thing, it shows up on search results properly and encourages more long-form discussion
