Apparently #ACT got a lot of flak for posting that their test now has "less questions" rather than the putatively correct "fewer questions." They ding test takers for this, so they do look hypocritical here. But why quiz students on this pointless distinction in the first place? #linguistics 🐦🐦

I'm sorry, if you're a Stalin enthusiast, I don't actually care about your opinions on genocides for the same reason I don't take pet-rearing advice from Kristi Neom

That some people _insist_ that is is _critical_ to their generosity that they bestow it on people who come to social media to beg for their lives rather than giving to reputable aid organizations enrages me.

(tw: death) We went to the cemetery today to visit my husband's family plot. It's a small cemetery, and walking back to the car (about 3 rows) I found six of these without even going out of my way. I'm sure there were plenty more. This is why we vaccinate. Because we can.

3 months ago, I wrote this about centrist parties aping the far right, and how it's not just immoral, but suicidal. This is not secret knowledge. It's the most reliable effect in world politics. It's watching 40 guys getting killed by the same gorilla, one by one, and stepping up to take your turn.

A Keith Haring #LEGO set? And it looks incredible? Sign me up immediately! Just like the artist's work, the techniques for building these LEGO models are more complicated than they might seem. #popart #KeithHaring #want www.lego.com/en-us/produc...

My Roman Empire is that Koko the gorilla never learned to sign and a conversation with one singular Deaf person would have saved a lot of time and a lot a shoddy research

No spoilers in the replies, please. Give folks time to watch. I’m just gonna say this: Let Syril Karn’s arc serve as a lesson to all men right now. Especially the young men contributing to the startling turns we’ve seen in voter stats. Let it be a fucking guiding example of where it goes. #Andor

All caught up now on eps 7-9 of #Andor season 2. What incredible storytelling, fantastic costumes and sets, amazing dialogue and devastating events. It's so much. Multiple characters with Emmy-worthy speeches so far, and we still have 3 episodes to go!

Exactly, calls to empathize with and debate conspiracists is a major reason why so many conspiracies have crept back into public discourse. We should treat election truthers and anti-vaxx freaks the way we treat ISIS.

The fancy vintage egg slicer I ordered last week arrived today! I did not go as far as eating them with a knife and fork, however. I'm not actually that weird about my food! 🥚 #Severance #eggs

I can't even remember the last time I was excited and enthusiastic for something some techbro insisted was The Next Big Thing. They are FULLY out of ideas. It's just scam after scam, now.
