I always found it creepy that there are people who ship Jareth/Sarah in Labyrinth.

Instagram has gotten good at targeting ads…

Instagram has gotten good at targeting ads. I follow a lot of scenic photographers, and several travel companies are sponsoring scenic shots. Good ones.

I’m not sure whether to be disturbed, or look at it in terms of XKCD’s idea of constructive spambots

I need a word for the fear of accidentally tapping “like” on something while trying to scroll past it on a touch screen.

Congress isn’t supposed to be “loyal” to the President. They don’t work for him. They’re independent, by design.

School vouchers are like taking part of your elevator maintenance budget & using it for ladders & helicopter ride coupons.

It doesn’t fix the elevators, not everyone can take advantage of the alternatives, and they don’t even reach every floor.

We sacrifice the ability to fit everything in that we’re trying to say…

Irony: most Twitter threads would be better as linked articles, but fewer people would follow the link & read the article.

We sacrifice the ability to fit everything in that we’re trying to say in favor of the hope that someone will actually see part of it.

Renaming digital assistants as “Wiretap” should be the new “TLA surveillance van” wifi name.

Puerto Rico is part of the USA. If the name sounds foreign, consider that only 10 out of 50 states have names from English.
