@dantheclamman Clearly we need to breed or genetically engineer Cruise Ship Worms

@jimray
Pretty sure what really happened was the credit card on record for the Voyager SaaS subscription expired and they just entered a new one.

@rubenbolling
Nominative determinism; or Pratt is as prat does.

@w7voa How does he expect the prison-industrial complex to make money with an attitude like that?

@transdiffusion
Practice makes perfect; the rollout of BBC-12 in 2001 went a lot more smoothly

@Probertd8 @anneapplebaum

This one's real, though, and it also fits:

"The spectacle of a number of middle-aged gentlemen who are my political opponents being in a state of uproar and fury is really quite exhilarating to me.”

@randahl I wonder what was behind his epiphany? Promises that the defense appropriations would benefit his constituency? Offer of a well-paid makework private sector sinecure after he leaves Congress? Prestigious school admissions for his kids? Regular table at Rao's? Pictures of him with congressional aides?

@Fife4Europe You chaps need to roll back the fixed terms act. The Tories should have been out a long time ago.

@AnnemarieBridy Hell. Lost Angeles chalks up another one.

@randahl Not so much in anger as the fact that she can't phone her handler in Moscow for further instructions from the House floor.

I probably should have checked that it wasn't paywalled first. Wayback Machine to the rescue: https://web.archive.org/web/20240204160000/https://www.wired.com/1996/12/ffglass/

@AnnemarieBridy

While it's going to be pretty dated by now, I really enjoyed Neal Stephenson' sprawling article on this subject for Wired back in the day. I even plugged it in a review I wrote for one of his novels. I should probably read it again.

There's still at least one coal plant. To say nothing of 200 or so natural gas plants. Perhaps go after those first.

@beebrookshire Clearly they should raise the rats' rent while also giving them the option of working remotely. That's got people leaving, why shouldn't it work on rats?

@meduza_en
Let's hope they're making them with substandard materials and deliberate, undetectable flaws that cause the manufactured goods to fail catastrophically on first use.

@w7voa What is it about NBC suddenly doing fearless, hard-hitting reporting? I mean is this just a blip or is something happening here?

@randahl

Has anyone made a Bored Ape NFT out of Trump dozing off in court yet?

@w7voa
I read his "public criticism" right up to the point of its first publicly verifiable claim, which was, surprise surprise, completely false. No point in wasting any more time on him after that.

@kaminenmosher
Still, impressive. I'm told that 17th C Finnish Manor is one of the hardest keys to compose in.

@kaminenmosher Ridiculous. It should use the "shave and a haircut" knock from Who Framed Roger Rabbit
