  @mcc According to ISO standards, the word is "Hectobillionaire"

  I don't know who needs to hear this, but in case it's you: it's totally OK to go buy a couple pounds of joint compound, mix it up in one of those plastic deli containers, and let it dry there overnight. Always remember that.

  Question for any German speakers out there: I know that German has different capitalization rules than English, but does writing in all caps change the meaning of words at all? #languages #german #deutsch

  @tinker Your list of whys sounds really similar to a realization I had with Twitter about 10 years ago in the settling dust of GamerGate. Unfortunately by then I had lost track of any community to engage with positively. It's nice to have a new platform to start over on.

  May you never feel as helpless as the parent of a child who's scared of a malfunctioning smoke alarm system.

  @D_J_Nathanson I thought it was bad when the alarms were my fault. This is another level of suck.

  People Under the Stairs - Eat Street: https://musiccloud.io/M9IWLrIx I honestly don't remember if there are condiments in the lyrics, but the entire song is begging for it if there aren't. #TuneTuesday #CondimentsSongs

  Watched Onslaught tonight (in a completely empty Apple Cinemas for $8, BTW). It definitely had something very serious to say, but it tried to hide it behind a drugged out B plot and Eric Wareheim doing his thing. End result wasn't as coherent as I wished it would be.

  I went to Savenor's today to stock up for my birthday party this weekend and ended up shooting the shit with one of the butchers for 20 minutes. I feel like this is a bigger indicator that I'm almost 40 than the actual calendar.

  My brother and SIL got me a Miyoo Plus for my birthday. I *know* someone on here knows all the cool stuff I can do with it (and some good ROM sources). Catch me up! #retrogaming #raspi #miyoo

  Yesterday, after 20 years of hosting cookouts, I finally prepared the exact right amount of food for the crowd. Everyone got to eat, and take a plate home, and we only had enough leftovers for one meal, in perfect meal-proportions. #food #bbq

  I have a friend who really wants to try Blue Prince (the puzzle game). Unfortunately they don't have a console or a Steam account (and can't get one for reasons). Anybody know how else they might be able to play it? #Gaming #pcgaming

  I just spent 2 hours moving a line up by half a pixel, in case anyone is wondering how my day is going.

  Best thing I saw at #PorchFest has to be Will Mbah trying to sing The Clash at this karaoke band set. He admitted to having no idea what he was doing, was a great sport about that, and looked like he was enjoying himself thoroughly. #SomervilleMA

  I'm going to a friend's wedding this weekend and I don't have a suit that fits right anymore. Currently torn between "this might be my last wedding party for a while so I want to look good" and "the rules of what look good in men's formal wear were completely made up by a bunch of rich dudes as an obscure way to signal their wealth".

  I didn't think it was possible for a Cybertruck to get uglier, but I just saw one repainted in robin's egg blue.

  "Darkness comes to the door Table place set before It's honored seat" Yob - Beauty in Falling Leaves https://youtube.com/watch?v=Av5iHIs2DSw I consider this song to be part 2 of 2014's Marrow, which is one of the greatest songs of all time. #TuneTuesday #WindowsAndDoors

  @Moss if you wear them to a noise rock show, does it just sound like The Who?

  @deankirkman I am not autistic, but when my friend and I started working in an autism research lab in the late 2000s, we got an "Intro to ASD" lecture. As they were describing typical "circumscribed interests" (e.g. dinosaurs, trains, video games, space, computers) we both started looking at each other like "Uh... Did someone not tell us something?"

  @D_J_Nathanson I will be totally honest, I don't listen to God Is An Astronaut. I originally had "The Middle" by Jimmy Eat World in there but it didn't sell as well.
