Normally when we post patents, they're late 19th/early 20th century objects for interfacing with vaginas.
This is neither, but we're going to tell you about it anyway.
This is the Apparatus For Facilitating The Birth Of A Child By Centrifugal Force, patented in 1965.

Andy Murray: I think Venus and Serena have won about four each.
@JensHannemann Funny story:
A friend of a friend was visiting Germany when a Star Trek movie came out. It was run with German subtitles. This person couldn't read German, but they could understand the English audio, so no problem ... until the scene that was in Klingon with German subtitles.

My contact says, "In my nearly six years with PBEM this is the first time I am aware of it going wrong, which is actually remarkable considering how frequently they are sent."
Inside dirt on that middle-of-the-night police alert a couple of days ago:

Economies of Scale is the name of my dragon financial thriller.

You (trying to find hope in the face of climate change, mass extinction, and the rise of fascism): "Yes, things seem really bad, but we humans eventually will rally and do the right and sensible thing!"
Me:
@msbellows Shattering that belief sets up some kind of Roko's Basilisk situation which can only be resolved by going back in time and feeding your own grandfather to the bear.

Delighted to learn that Steph Routh is running for Portland City Council.
@faerye We got the initial "stay inside" message at like 2:30 ... from the other side of the river.
