Wife just asked if i watched any more of that, “uh, the Ripper show, what’s it called… White Castle!” meaning, of course, “Whitechapel”. – 04:08 AM GMT

@mubay I have been thinking a out this, and I think we are multiply fucked. – 02:42 AM GMT
@mubay not in the “will kill more people than guns or cars” or other good things sense – 02:43 AM GMT
@mubay but in the “no budget allocation for frontline workers” sense, due to limited projected danger and also MBA culture – 02:44 AM GMT
@mubay basically, if you have a friend who is a nurse, they are going to be deliberately placed at-risk over the next six months – 02:44 AM GMT
@mubay after such time realistic management strategies will evolve, over the bloody bodies of the specific hospital that hosts the start – 02:45 AM GMT

RT: @deathmtn: Once or twice a year, Zuckerberg smashes one open and eats it. Chaos testing, he says. – 03:32 PM GMT
RT: @deathmtn: They are all in varying stages of growth. They vary wildly in deformity, but they are all wearing black turtlenecks. – 03:32 PM GMT
RT: @deathmtn: But no, there are no eggs here at all. Just writhing humanoid figures in glass cubes howling unintelligibly but forcefully. – 03:32 PM GMT

just this very second realized that “the die is cast” refers to metal manufacturing, not rolling dice – 05:22 PM GMT
@clarissawam interesting, no, i definitely just read a cite where it referred to metal casting. link in a moment. – 05:26 PM GMT
@clarissawam sabr.org/bioproj/person… page search “die was cast,” section referring to the subject’s character formation – 05:28 PM GMT
@clarissawam but obv. Caesar has temporal precedence, so SABR writer has mangled the reference. but in an elegant and inventive way! – 05:29 PM GMT
Just watched what can only be described as a small tsunami come ashore on Puget Sound – 07:12 PM GMT
@arthurwyatt saw that (not in person) – had to drive right as the evening storm rolled through. literal blinding rain. – 09:42 PM GMT
@arthurwyatt the tsunami thing was totally interesting and unsettling. watched it roll across the sound for 30 minutes. – 09:43 PM GMT
@arthurwyatt throwing up breakers at midsound, about four feet high, then when it came ashore it rolled about fifteen feet more inland – 09:44 PM GMT
@arthurwyatt but never got tall as it climbed the shoulder of the sound floor. then about 30 mins later, a small echo wave. – 09:45 PM GMT
@arthurwyatt as if the Sound was being sloshed back and forth. there was a quake in kent at 9:30, but this was at noon. who knows. – 09:46 PM GMT
@arthurwyatt alert Fox Mulder! – 10:24 PM GMT
@gjcharlet i did this exact thing to my sister’s hair in the ICU. – 11:12 PM GMT

@gjcharlet when i handle Suzy’s hair, my body heat activates her scent, still, 30 years later. – 11:18 PM GMT
