I’ve spent about 2-3 hours each day on calls or chats with my US gov friends. Here’s an anonymized recap of what’s going on.

First, I am so very sorry that they are living our last year at Twitter. I never wanted to think about that time again, and I hope my advice is helpful. 1/

During the bathroom break, someone notices that these robots seem awfully similar to ones built and used at the North Pole. If they're the same type of robots, they should have a hard-coded Easter egg: very rarely, most of the robots should arrange themselves into a picture of a Christmas tree.

This is literally the thing I was just complaining that I couldn't find. Find all your Twitter mutuals. Enjoy.

Rampant removal of groundwater for drinking and irrigation has altered the distribution of water on Earth enough to shift the planet’s tilt, according to a sweeping new study.

The finding underscores the dramatic impact that human activity can have on the planet. https://wapo.st/3psq1Oo

A long time ago, LiveJournal added a voice post feature. You could add a transcription or anyone else could provide the transcription. Random people would often do the transcription for free. @bradfitz.com

Should I stop posting on Twitter because of this?

The problem for me is that there are so many different sub communities that I will miss.
Twitch streamers have no where to go and I would like to follow them.

I went to a baby shower yesterday afternoon and this morning, my throat is a little sore. Did I talk too much or did I catch covid? Will I wonder this everytime my throat hurts for the rest of my life?

It's more like Lego Technic. You can build vehicles and robots if you want (or just ignore it and do the minimum to get through the game).

Unpacking is a cozy game that tells a story via unpacking into a new home.
