I get pretty grumpy when people with an enormous following trash-talk Twitter. I'd be a nobody without Twitter. I take it seriously and have made genuine, heartfelt connections with people on this platform. It's not a show to me at all. It's real. twitter.com/jonacuff/statu…
Twitter is pro wrestling. It's loud, exaggerated, performance art designed to cause an emotional reaction that turns into a click, a purchase or ad support. If you accept...

Happy Halloween from the McVerry’s
Ob @PlutoTV, popup ads in your iOS app? Really? This would make me delete you.
Much as I like the TNG ep Devil’s Due, it’s some white savior shit in SF drag. There’s not a single Ventraxian who thinks Ardra is bullshit, too, and can formulate the legal arguments?
“You can't trust code that you did not totally create yourself.” Ken Thompson is an optimist. And must be a way better programmer than myself.
Foundation makes me very sad. I had hope in ep 1 it was going to be an interesting reimagining, but it’s slow-moving, un-Asimovly violent, and very confusing. I don’t know what its major themes are. Giving shows too many episodes is the worst thing about peak tv.
It amazes me how sensitive I am to the difference between 66°F/19°C and 70°F/21°C. It's the difference between "I'd sure be a lot more comfortable with long sleeves" and "omg I can't take off enough clothes"
The costumes of folks just picking up carryout at the local ramen place are making me happy.

I still don’t like that Miami has a head coach who is still learning how to be in charge. Could easily be 6-2 right now with better coaching, and on track to win the Coastal. Instead, here they sit at 4-4.
Canes offense was on fire today. TVD looks like the best QB we’ve had in a long time. Receivers were on point. Rooster stepped up big. TEs with two TDs. Awesome! Defense was rough at times. Giving up 500+ passing yards ain’t great. But, hey, two wins over ranked teams in a row!
Just finished Stephon Alexander’s Fear of a Black Universe and liked it a lot. multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/comment/199…
Darkening fire of smoldering ashes darken in skies in dances falling silent as I lose myself in your eyes of destiny’s broken desire forgotten stains unseen in surrendering embers #smallpoems
This is an absolutely fascinating demonstration on how much the Average Person understands about the workings of the internet/computers etc:

Perhaps unsurprisingly, German writer Michael Ende (The Neverending Story, Momo) kept a #zettelkasten and published a book with some of its output. Why isn't this better known? Anyone have additional details in English? #TfT boffosocko.com/2021/10/30/557…
Spending a rainy Saturday morning messing with some reverb pedals to find a few settings that tickle my fancy (cw: off rhythm high screeched sounds from talentless hack)

You know your company is in trouble when the emergency holographic CEO appears.

Is it time to huddle up for comfort during eternal Caturday?
