@npub1w73…2zce That totally reminds me of this one scene in Tampopo.

I love how #ElonMusk is patenting a novel automotive assembly process, without considering that maybe no other companies have tried it because they don't want their cars exploding into a dozen separate chunks in an accident.

My wife's flight to NY has to land in Chicago due to severe thunderstorms, but first they have to spend time circling to burn all the extra fuel they no longer need, adding a bunch of unnecessary CO2 into the atmosphere where it can create even more flight-interrupting storms.

Depressing how much work needs to be done to undo all the things that should never have been done in the first place, but it is nice to see some progress on #DamRemoval, #Rewilding, and #HabitatRestoration

@npub1j0e…nhrj Jurassic Park would have been a very boring story if they only managed to clone one species of dinosaur.

I want to see a movie that is basically #JurassicPark, but all the people-murdering #dinosaurs are terrifying #birds that are still alive today.

I can't believe I have never seen this series of instructional videos about concepts and history in the #Stargate universe.
So funny watching the most outlandish #scifi topics being described as matter of fact details you need to know for your new job.

After the disappointing debate performance, I am calling for #JoeBiden to invent a time machine, travel back one year, and tell his fractionally younger self to step aside before the Democrats hold primaries and make their final decision about who should be the presidential candidate.

Depressing that it is a huge improvement for news publications to unequivocally write such rudimentary stories about #CO2 and #ClimateChange.

Everyone should watch #ScavengersReign on #Netflix this weekend and try to get it some additional seasons!

It's taken a few years, but I'm finally very diligent about putting on my #N95 mask anytime I go into public buildings in my dreams.

@npub1psd…9sr7 Great, now my wife is sad about Tim the pencil, and I only told her about him fifth-hand.

What have things come to when a company can't simply release a computer that acts like a human acting like a different human acting like a computer acting like a human.

@npub10lc…7wpc how are you mixing it? Using tools inside, or actually rolling the whole thing around?
