.@netflix is pushing something called "Skylines", but it's part 3 of a trilogy. They have the other 2 parts ... but part 1 is only on DVD.

Quick, hivemind! I'm about to donate platelets; the process takes long enough to watch a movie on @netflix. I need something that won't put me to sleep, because that makes them nervous. What should I watch?

My wife has been enjoying the @Heaving_Bosoms podcast. I'd like to propose some spinoffs:

Particle physics: Heaving Bosons
Nautical fiction: Heaving Boatswains
Clown mathematics: Heaving Bozo(n, s)

Thrilled to announce I have changed religions!! I now worship at the altar of Gmail's "undo send" feature, which saved a wretch like me from accidentally emailing someone this message/attachment combo

@jedpressfate Personally, any form of storytelling that doesn't rely on the strenghts of the medium is poor. The best stories I've seen in games come from gameplay, not videos or pieces of flavour text.

Y’all wanna see an unbothered seal?

Violet: *comes to class*

Student leaving at end of class: *turns around to look at Violet*

Me: Are you hoping she'll follow you home?

Student: I'm just taking another look. She's all the serotonin I have left.

I have never heard from anyone who has been subjected to an open office plan and not hated it.

PhD students taking time off but feeling only guilt from not working.

You know that free-floating sense that multinational corporations are above the law, able to buy their way out of consequences for even the most blatant, heinous crimes?

There's a (nearly) unbelievable, highly concrete example of it underway right at this moment.

A priest, a pastor and a rabbit walked in to blood donation clinic.

The nursed asked the rabbit: "What is your blood type?"

"I am probably a type O" said the rabbit.

Some gratifying news from the outstanding St. Andrews Wildlife Shelter: "'Willsei the Frogmouth': this tawny has been named in honour of Travis Willse from the US, as a thank you for his help with a project, as he is a well known fan of tawny frogmouths."

A couple just walked by pulling a red wagon. In the wagon was a baby. On a leash behind the wagon was a duck.
