In terms of academic work, I try to be more critical as to whether going to certain conferences is actually crucial. Academia is contributing to the climate crisis by supporting this belief that if you don't go to events then your career will suffer, but that's not actually true

Found this instance of incorrect unit conversions in a coffee table book. At first read I thought “that’s impossible!” followed quickly by “...oh I see.”

The nosiest of neighbours will go to almost any lengths to see what's going on on the other side of the wall.
This workshop @SIGCSE_TS@twitter.com doesn't say WHAT equipment to bring, so I'm showing up with a jackhammer and a SCUBA suit. 👷♂️🤿

Anakin should have fallen gradually:
"I'll use forbidden dark side powers just this one time to save my loved ones."
"I use my powers for good. I need to defend myself against those who would take them away."
"Anybody who is not with me is against me."
"Traitors everywhere!"
I'm learning to use Twine to make drafts of games that will later be built in @unity3d@twitter.com. Problem: the Twine forum requires a reCAPTCHA to register but doesn't have it set up. Help! @twinethreads@twitter.com
Fake, it turns out, but well done.

Breast pockets on men's shirts: why? Are we just taunting women with extra pockets we don't even use?
