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

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.
Who would’ve thought that post-NSA-revelations we’d be lining up for *more* surveillance? via @Verge
Remember: Puerto Rico is part of the USA. If the name sounds foreign, consider that only 10 out of 50 states have names from English.
A handful of Latin, some French, a half-dozen from Spanish, the rest various native languages (sometimes filtered through Spanish or French)
Last time I read about Biosphere 2, it was abandoned. Turns out U of Arizona took over 10 years ago!
Now that I think about it, I did read an article a few months back about the corporate takeover in the 90s, given who was involved.
Can’t believe NFS connection failures can still freeze the client. Shouldn’t this problem be solved by now?

“Shut up, you’re not an expert!” say the people who proudly refuse to listen to experts.
Still amazed the local Trader Joe’s parking lot was restriped to make it *worse*.
Thinking about triggers vs. causes. A food might trigger a migraine or allergic reaction, but an underlying condition causes it.
A match sets off fireworks, but only because of the fireworks’ chemistry & packing. The match wouldn’t set off a rock.

Listening to Little Earthquakes for the first time in forever. During Winter, a video for Frozen starts playing in my head. It’s perfect.
If this doesn’t exist, I need to learn how to edit a fan video and *make* it exist.
Read a summary of the later Sharknado films. Kept saying “Are you *$%* kidding me?!” So, basically just like following the news. #2017
You can’t make something “great” by stripping it for parts, selling what you can, tossing what you can’t & leaving a non-functional wreck.

I don’t understand the mentality of people who’d cheerfully burn down their own neighborhood just to piss off a couple of their neighbors.
When white supremacist assholes openly use nazi symbols/slogans, it’s past time to stop arguing over whether they’re *technically* nazis.
Trying to come up with something profound & can’t, so let me just say: white supremacy is an evil, toxic ideology that we need to fight.
Emperor Cartagia was capricious, had no filters & saw running a nation as all about him personally. When upset, he wanted it to end in fire.
President Clark was an “amateur” (according to Edgars) who put dangerous people in power to prop him up, people who would outlast his admin.
Me 12 years ago: Infinite Crisis is “about the DCU becoming its darkest” because the universe is broken.
