I don't understand "hot" and "cold".
I mean, matter is like ooh, the average kinetic energy of my molecule has changed somewhat, I'm going to have significantly different physical properties!
What's up with that?
Anyway, it's cold. Like 10° F, in the sun. #cold
"Metaverse" derision
Hahaha OMG; do these publications have no one on staff who was around for the Virtual Reality hype in like 2007?
A Virtual Golf Venue, a #metaverse Space: Rooms You’ll Find in Homes of the Future
Real-estate developers forecast the new additions that homeowners will expect (paywalled, but don't bother lol)

Trying to keep up with you.
And I don't know if I can do it;
Oh no I've said too much.
I haven't said enough.

QT discourse again. :)
As someone else said somewhere in another thread, it's usually better to talk WITH someone than to talk ABOUT them. To QT is to talk about someone.
I guess journalists, whose job it is basically to talk about people, may not see the difference as strongly.
And maybe also communities that struggle for recognition, where talking positively about other members of the community, where the wider world can see it, is an important thing?
(Speculating here.)

Mask in indoor public spaces.
Limit the size and frequency of your social gatherings.
Think about ventilation.
Stay home when sick.
It's important.

@scottaw Twitter would have been better with that feature IMO.
There is a nice proposal where you could check:
- everyone can QT me
- only those from my server
- only those I follow
- only those who follow me
This would kill the feature being used for most forms of dunking. And give people who get targeted in this way a line of defense.
Of course "dunking" could and currently is happening using other methods.

Here's another song we did a little while back. Someone once described it as Tropical. I liked that description. 
The video is home made so kind of basic but I think it works with the song.

There are a ton more and they’re all pretty generous with their boosts, so even just this short list should unlock the firehouse for you!
