The Failed Migration of Academic Twitter

  • Does it need to be online and continuous?

  • I casually bicycle around town and like to see who I can keep up with to test how fast I am. More and more folks have ebikes now and it's getting way less fun.

    • How a Leading Chain of Psychiatric Hospitals Traps Patients

    Jump

  • I encourage others to seek treatment for mental health issues if ever necessary, and I've heard a few success stories of people who got the help they needed from a psychiatric inpatient stay. But I'll be honest, shit like this really worries me.

    I've been living with depression for many years now. It terrifies me to imagine what a full-blown crisis would be like -- not just because of what I might do, but also because of what the health care system might do to me.

  • Even as all the alarm bells go off about droughts and impending water crises, we must never compromise on our God-given right to lush green grass lawns.

  • We've finally found it: the queer agenda. Let's get to work, people.

    • I hate excel so much

    Jump

  • This thread surprises me. Excel is fine, but I've seen people do so many silly things with it that it makes me dread having to use it. It's like they treat every cell as its own special little canvas... Oh, you wanna randomly change the date format from mm/dd/yyyy to dd-Mmm-yy mid-column? With Excel, anything is possible.

    Maybe I just don't work well with others.

    • Actually asking (rule)

  • Me and some friends used to all share one but then the fucking DRM kicked in and I had to get my own.

  • Vector also wears a gold chain and headphones all the time

    • TIL Bill Cosby, Gene Hackman, Eartha Kitt, Burt Lancaster, Steve McQueen, and Barbra Streisand were some of the names on Nixon's "Enemies List"

    Jump

  • Hey... This is Moe Szyslak's enemies list! They just deleted his name and put Nixon's!

    • If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"?

    Jump

  • We're already using that on the org chart.

    • Now that's just rude

  • But can I take them home? What if they have a collar with a name tag that has my neighbor's address on it? Or what if they're wearing a leash being held by a person who won't stop saying "Please put my cat back down"?

    • JD Vance’s child-voting “experiment” would be great—for Democrats

    Jump

  • The answer is still no.

    • Anyone else like to fall asleep when they're extremely tired?

    Jump

  • Shout-out to all my homies who are tired all day, avoid screens before bed, read for a bit, journal, do mindful meditation, and take melatonin, but nonetheless lie in bed staring at their eyelids for 2 hours before slipping into a kind of restless unconsciousness that's too long and groggy to be a nap but too short to be a refreshing night of sleep.

    • Only ever played OOoT, MM, and WW. Just ordered an Analogue Pocket. Suggest an order.

  • Unhelpful idea: practice as-is until you're good enough to beat it in one sitting

    • Well fancy that

  • That's the face I make when an experiment that should only have 2 possible outcomes somehow leads to a completely uninterpretable third outcome.
