@maxkennerly Tell me you haven't been paying your hosting and bandwidth bills without telling me you haven't been paying your hosting and bandwidth bills.

@Hawkmoon @Green_Footballs I would need some persuading that even he would set out to flush $44bn, leveraged, down the sewer.

@AnnemarieBridy The letter is nearly illiterate as well. How does someone like that end up with his kind of employment?

@alexwitze The temptation to use the "long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away" line must be awfully tempting for science writers in situations like this.

@tomlevenson The idea that we all have equal protection before the law in this country doesn't bear a moment's scrutiny. Nobody with any money spends two years in Rikers awaiting trial. High profile prosecutions of the wealthy are incredibly rare, and typically only happen to offenders whose victims were powerful and/or wealthy.

"In a first" doing a lot of work in this headline....

I'm a bit late with this, but I thought it was excellent:

"2021: Russian army, #2 army in the world

2022: Russian army, #2 army in Ukraine

2023: Russian army, #2 army in Russia"

@JamesGleick If you're gonna say "you can't consider race" in admissions, why not just go the whole way and say you can't consider ancestry, which of course includes parentage? End of legacy admissions right there.

@jikahn @ZachWeinersmith It's typographical error: they were supposed to be "[x] In A Nut's Hell"

@sundogplanets Hot tip: If you stand up by the objective lens you can kind of wave more light into the telescope with your hands. A bit like when a chef wafts the aroma from a saucepan towards his nose.

I'm here to report that if you drop a chocolate-covered almond on the floor, it is possible to wash and dry it, if you don't use hot water and you're quick about it.

@DoesntExist IKR? He should take up a strategy board game of some kind. He'd probably be pretty good at it.

@kolya @openculture They didn't want to get to the bottom and find squatters occupying it; best to get it covered first.

My current hairstyle is called the "let it go all you want, just keep the sides cleaned up." It's kind of the Darryl Hall principle.

@demvoter @mariyadelano You haven't heard? Prigozhin was working for the CIA. Seriously, would hundreds of well-padded virgins pay $8/mo to Elon Musk to lie about a thing like that?
