@UkeBLCatboy That actually makes me feel worse. The ones with sense won't be in the rooms with the buttons.

@_jimnelson_ @UkeBLCatboy @markarayner The villain is the one who bolted a coin box to a typewriter. Everyone else is a victim.

@jeffowski "Atlas Shrugged" and "Twilight" stand as the only two fiction books that I read a chapter of, and then just couldn't power through the pain to finish it.

@goesselgold Masterfully minimalist.

@Irisfreundin @djrobotham This. Solanums--tomato, potato, and eggplant/aubergine--all have #solanine as a natural pesticide in their green parts, and at lower concentrations even in the edible parts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solanine

@gamingonlinux I think the bokeh is supposed to be in the background.

@lilithsaintcrow In refusing to take the usual aptitude test, this person has elected to [barely] fail at a completely different--and more difficult--kind of aptitude test. This one shows that the accused cheater would fare quite well as upper management in a wide variety of US corporations.

@AnarchoCatgirlism Please apply patch to IRL cities IMMEDIATELY.

@Lana The father consults the wise men, asking "What do I do?" They answer him, "Do nothing! It is not for you to solve." The child goes to the professor, who tells him, "The aylonit upholds the same mitzvot as the man. (Ehhhh... mostly. We would not be Jewish, if every rule were easily followed.) So put on new clothes, and know that G-d has made a place on Earth for you, too. Go now, and fill it." So he did.

And this is what happens when sensible ethics is part of religious tradition.

@Aviva_Gary @StillIRise1963 Article mentioned a multidistrict class action already recruiting plaintiffs.

@UkeBLCatboy @markarayner My avvy came first. The emoji looks like it did, not the other way around. Or they both sort of look like the Platonic ideal "log". I woke up once to the head of the atomic mushroom cloud emoji on my pillow. And once I found half of a Psycho stabby shower emoji on my kitchen floor. So there's a reason all those still around are the cute and fun ones. Evolution in action.

@UkeBLCatboy @markarayner By that, I mean it was created before them. But it has also killed and eaten a few.

@UkeBLCatboy @markarayner That image predates emojis, by the way.

@UkeBLCatboy #BatteryShark is a #USPol #USPolitics thing, wherein one of the two leading candidates for commander-in-chief of the world's most expensive military spoke, in front of a live audience, a rambling, incoherent anecdote about a completely fictional boat manufacturer who made an electric boat that sank from its own excessive weight, in shark-abundant waters. The passenger was forced to jump into the shark's mouth, for fear of a large battery being touched by water. Complete idiocy.

@markarayner @UkeBLCatboy I can imagine worse. You run out of dimes, but you still have two nickels.

@Kierkegaanks "Did this wand fire off six Expelliarmuses, or was it only five? So the question you gotta ask yourself is 'Do I feel lucky?' Well? Do ya? Punk?"

"You know, I have never once seen a wizard reloading their wand? Not ever. Rictusem-"

"Expelliarmus!"

"Jesus, Harry. How does a disarming spell blow someone's head clean off?"

"You think the weapon is held in the hand? The weapon is the will to do harm. I disarmed him. Permanently."

@Kierkegaanks @the_etrain Just like in Hyperion/Endymion. The AI is running on human brains.

@the_Effekt @RickiTarr I am glad. I can't tell you how many times I try talking to someone, and they do one of those classic comedy takes where they look at their drink as though someone spiked it with alcohol, then pour it out. I mean, it *is* funny every time, but even so....

@futurebird Didn't he shoot someone in broad daylight on 5th Avenue? I don't think that guy knows how hypotheticals work.

I just read the full transcript of #BatteryShark, and this is not a person that should be in charge of pointy-ended scissors, much less the entire executive of a G7 state.
