Oh CtM that “Britain pulled out of India too fast” bullshit should not go unchallenged
I honestly need an @ebonyaster-level hair report on Trixie’s wigs for every damn episode of Call the Midwives.
If someone would just adapt James White’s Sector General series into a show, they could tap into that lucrative Star Trek/Call The Midwife crossover audience. Like me. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sector_Ge…
If you want the worlds’ best mom-tvmom-daughter moment, please listen to 9:30 thru 11:10 on this episode of The Pod Directive. @TrondyNewman she was just saying the obvious. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sta…
Damn. I forgot this date. I saw it, the day it premiered, in Queens. Prompted by an ad on SNL.
#StarWars came into our galaxy 44 years ago on this date, and this is what it was like to see it in 1977. trib.al/c34TfFu
More than 500 Amazon employees have signed an internal letter to Jeff Bezos and Andy Jassy calling for the company sever business contracts with the Israeli military. The move follows similar petitions at Apple and Google:

Friends who have written books (for tech primarily, but just any book is fair game too!). How did you like (/survive) the experience? Do you have thoughts? Blogposts? Twitter threads? Books about writing a book? Share it! A friend is perhaps-potentially looking into this. 👀
Question I will not provide additional context for: do people actually wear wedding rings now? Is this still common?
Sitting and listening to the rain. Heavy summer showers bring calm and peaceful introspection.
It is important to note that all we have is an unsubstantiated intelligence report that 3 staffers in a lab with an employment in the thousands were hospitalized for an unknown infection in November 2019. That's it. It's currently flimsier than the rocket tubes found in Iraq.

Before we explore these flaws in the “lab-leak” hypothesis, I want to repeat these points, especially the second, because the mainstream press is overlooking them.

Recent leaks inside Apple suggest the culture of secrecy is starting to change — at least where workplace issues are concerned. Employees say the culture has worked well to protect Apple customers and products, but might hinder diversity and inclusion efforts:

Should I do more of these “cost of outfit” posts? Is this interesting? I have tracked everything I wear since 2014 and I have a big spreadsheet of all my clothes including purchase price and date and location, fabric content, and even if they have pockets.
Wait, so Microsoft announced devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/announc… as "GVFS", then realized wiki.gnome.org/Projects/gvfs was a thing and subsequently renamed it as "VFS for Git"? 😂 github.com/microsoft/VFSF… I totally missed this whole story but damn this is wonderfully messed up :D

Are you all packed up for eternal Caturday?

I have yet to bring the smackdown on anyone contributing to Bridgetown like this, but just you wait! 😈 twitter.com/grahamjcampbel…
WTF is this attitude!
Maxination day in less than 48 hours.
Let’s start calling them “genitalia reveal parties” to reinforce just how weird this fad is. That said, I’d be cool with the explosion if it was an epic firework show that spelled out VAGINA in the sky.
A New Hampshire couple used 80 pounds of explosives to celebrate the gender of their baby, causing a blast that was felt for 25 miles in every direction. trib.al/iFLJipl
