Guess who tried to faithfully recreate the #StarTrek TNG warp effect. This guy!

"DeSantis’s maverick approach to primary, secondary and higher education"

🤔 🤷‍♂️ 🤦

The New York Times is deeply, perhaps irretrievably, broken. Totally unable and unwilling to face the reality of a far right authoritarian party and call it what it is. It takes concerted effort to consistently fail this badly.

@stroughtonsmith I am not making an app.

🗺️ Instead, I am making shaded relief maps where I use 3D data to get a 3D-like visual perspective, and then I overlay them with satellite imagery.

🛍️ Printed maps are available for purchase at my little boutique shop at https://www.etsy.com/shop/HicSuntDraconesMaps.

Oh, and I am open to custom mapping requests.

Thanks, Steve, for this #showcase #cartography

The choices that were made.

The Confederate flag equals treason. It really is that simple. If you fly one or wear one, you are promoting treachery.

My GF last night: Did you hear about LeBron James?

Me: I don't care.

GF: You didn't hea..

Me: I really don't care.

GF: You didn't read about it anywhere???

Me: Did he save someone's life?

GF: No?

Me: Did he break up a child rape club?

GF: No.

ME: Did he cure cancer?

GF: No!

Me: Was it some sports thingy?

GF: Yes!

Me: Then I definitely don't care.

Relatedly, all U.S. citizens should be represented by a representative and two senators in Congress. The residents of DC, Puerto Rico, and four other island territories --- who outnumber the population of around 10 Republican states --- remain excluded from national policymaking.

apparently you can get more interaction on social media by asking questions so i’ll not be doing that.

Our beloved wonderful protective snow dog Aubrey sometimes used to just sit and stare at walls. He passed a few years ago, but we're convinced he was reincarnated as our stray-rescue cat Tuxie, who behaves like Aubrey did in countless weird ways including this: #dogsofmastodon #catsofmastodon #dogsreincarnatedascatsofmastodon

For #ThrowbackThursday my lovely Cavalier King Charles spaniel Sparky who passed away just over six years ago. I still miss him!

He's being rather clingy. Which is nice when I'm feeling rubbish.

My wife had some underwear stolen and the culprit was so tired that they left their chocolate bar behind.

So at least we have the knackered knicker nicker’s Snickers snack.

You know, when you look back at some of the events that happened in your life as a black man, and you really dwell on it… It's shocking how many situations you were a part of that could've ended like this. How many nonsense interactions with the police that I never told my parents about because I didn't want them worrying. From being trailed by a cop car for 20 blocks to being stopped and frisked regularly and everything in between… #TyreNichols #PoliceBrutality

@skaly Currently listening to your music. Wow.
