I do User Research and other product insight stuff. I like lots of stuff but particularly Punk/Ska, RPGs, tech, friendly folks and pints of Guinness.

Billy, you may be the first person who I've 'heard' that has put the age/lifetime appointment in context. There was also a time when those who were appointed were concerned about the mere appearance of impropriety. Those days have passed Us by. Now, I've a Beatles song on loop. don't pass me by

I see a lot of academia who haven't mentioned the fact once. The afterthought and lesser branch, yes. Strange part is, during the last century when modern medicine was increasing lifespans, it wasn't changed.

Imagine having a new continental congress. Imagine that as a legacy. Imagine having a peoples forum. Imagine reforming American democracy to reflect a growing and changing America

Guess I'll post here, too. I'm excited to announce I was a proofreader on The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak. I've been a fan of Trails for a long time, so I'm really glad I was able to contribute to the series. The rest of the team involved was awesome, so hopefully everyone enjoys it.

This guy was such a G for telling his evil wizard cyborg boss that his religion is bullshit during a work meeting.

This from @stephenmcgann.uk on the other place can’t be said often or loudly enough. It’s why ideological purity on the left makes me grind my teeth to dust

In "Bell Riots," the dystopian vision of 2024 is that sanctuary districts would be designated which legally permit the unhoused to sleep outside or in derelict buildings, where food is provided and there's an office that sets people up with work. Again, this is the dystopian part of the Bell Riots.

I’ve never heard of the movie Ginger Snaps before but we saw it had a 98% Rotten Tomatoes score so we said we’d give it a go. How was this not bigger!? It’s glorious!

Unless you're writing something very formal, try to write how you talk. Don't try to sound smart by using unnatural vocabulary or elaborate phrasing - you're more likely to trip yourself up. Also, don't try to copy other writers' style; you want to stand out, not be indistinguishable from the crowd.
if u see this, quote-post with your tips for writers that no one gives anymore because they seem obvious (even though they're not)

Bluesky feels so refreshingly like Twitter circa 2008 or so, and it’s wonderful.
