    RT @MarisaKabas: wanna know what misogyny looks like?

    at 39, most women are told they’re too old to have a kid. at 39, trump jr. is still…


    Luckily I booked the @GoCatchApp taxi last night, and luckily he called me. Spot the problem. 😬 https://t.co/ONhJRAYUwT

    RT @yow_conf: You never know… BUT you’re not going to know if you never try. Make that submission to our #YOWData CFP https://t.co/gKFYhs…


    @joffotron I actually worked out what the Bulb was likely to be before they explained, and I got really sad about it. This story is amazing.


    RT @ageitgey: Rank how well your AI demo went:
    – Great
    – Good

    @joffotron I don’t know how to explain to people why they should read this. It shouldn’t exist. I love it so much.


    From amusement to existential angst. https://t.co/Clb0rLgSG0 https://t.co/523lz0xjnc


    @jamessasek Ha. I was actually tempted to use that line in my original tweet.


    Yay, still a few @yow_conf stickers left! https://t.co/9cU6hqsOQn


  • From amusement to existential angst

    Actual things I typed to the Snook on chat while watching this video:

    • That is some excellent QWOP
    • That’s also how I run in my dreams.
    • πŸ˜‚
    • LOL I love how the humanoid runs
    • Okay, that made me weirdly philosophical by the end
      RUN LITTLE PERSON RUN
      FORWARD PROGRESS IS YOUR ONLY REWARD
      RELENTLESS ATTEMPTS
      IN A NEVERENDING WORLD WHERE FORCE PERTURBATIONS HIT YOU IN THE TORSO

    What can I say? I’ve become rather obsessed with 17776, and it’s giving me existential angst.

    @FakeSamRitchie I like the way you think.


    @MichelePlayfair @FakeSamRitchie Waffle buddies.


    @darthted Oh gosh. Hope everything is okay!!


    Legit devastated that Bob, the @ravelry mascot dog, has passed away. He was a good dog. 😒


    Peeked at spotify.me’s insights on my streaming. Seems about right. (Time to listen to @mitskileaks again…) https://t.co/EzZANtJPGI


    @lynnlangit Mom was self-taught and came to it late. I wonder what she’d have accomplished with a CS degree and lots of support!


    @lynnlangit Now she’s finally retired and living the dream: https://t.co/kBNo7P0gau. πŸ˜€


    @NicoleWill100 @annie_parker @ElaineStead When coming home to Sydney, I usually hit the Dan Murphy’s app to check prices. Only worth it for a few things.


    @mpesce @nic_hazell @OtletResearch Did they show you bits of sharks? I wasn’t sure if they were allowed to bring them to other countries. πŸ˜€

    @dean_bean I prefer my runny yolks as part of a sunny-side-up fried egg, rather than digging around in broken eggshell.


    @Malarkey @lottejackson @ansarada It’s like the Avengers over there, I swear. So many awesome folks!


    @sir_tilbrook @jesstelford @karlbowden I signed up, but goddamn I hate sitting through videos when I could read a text version in 10 seconds.


    @sir_tilbrook @jesstelford @karlbowden That’s the only way to find out what the thing actually is though, right?


    @jesstelford @sir_tilbrook @karlbowden Oh interesting, I didn’t see that. Maybe Ghostery nuked it.

    FWIW this Yank knows very well what an egg cup is for, actually owns one, but has never used it. Because soft boiled eggs are GROSS.


    @the_nathanjones I dip my toast in a sunny side up fried egg, as Uncle Sam intended. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ³ @richbuggy @evanderkoogh
