Tim Berners-Lee proposed a hypertext system that would sit atop the internet #OTD in 1989.

The β€œweb” quickly took off, and these days there are literally dozens of β€œweb sites” that you can visit.

Gummi Bear Tarot. The card I have drawn is the Ten of Cups. Description in the little interpreting book: 
TEN OF CUPS

A rainbow, a symbol of blessing, is seen with ten goblets, a sign of abundance. The bear family is happy. The parents wave happily at the rainbow as the children dance.
STRENGTHS: 
Harmony, abundance, and good fortune. Anything is possible. A feeling of connectedness. Only by believing in the future do you honor the present.
 WEAKNESSES: Conflict between self-promotion and the interests of the group, between ideals and passion. A discrepancy between what is possible and that which is real. I'm not usually this way, I just don't have time to do any better.

I needed to hear precisely what I heard today, I needed to hear it precisely today, and I needed to hear it from precisely who I heard it from. Licking my wounds and putting gratitude back into the universe.

It is a bummer to
(a) care about stuff,
(b) be told that the actions I am taking as a result of caring are wrong and/or harmful, and
(c) come to pretty much agree with that assessment

Like I kinda don't care if he was pushed into Ingram. I think you just have to draw a line in the sand which is, if you make contact with a guy's head, intent or no, it's five and game, period.

Five and game is absolutely correct and I would not be surprised or angry to see a suspension.

Oh I do not like that from MacKinnon. Especially not on my guy Connor Ingram. I'm wearing my avs jersey but I do not like that at *all.*

NBC News poll

Voters hold negative views of Al. In fact, the only topics less popular in the survey were the Democratic Party and Iran.

I'm pretty sure the physical reason why eggs don't stick to a sufficiently hot pan is in fact the Leidenfrost effect.

I like to tell students "I did not ask you to solve these differential equations because I needed them solved" and sometimes the light goes on.

Let me tell you something. Y’all are asking too many damn questions at every point of sale. I have to leave a comment, make a suggestion, donate to a charity, choose a method of payment three times and then multiple choice of ways to get a receipt.

Take the damn money and leave me alone.
