Oh, and hey - my Twitter archive finally finished! I did it a little different in that I set up a separate account (@geekwithsoul-old.bsky.social). This was partly to appease the wannabe archivist in myself and partly just because it felt less intrusive. But I didn't want all that history to be gone

Not sure who is still here from the old days of Twitter, but I need to ask for help for a dear friend that many of you know. @KyleeLane has hit a rough patch and needs some help. If you can help her out in any way, it would be amazing t.co/HO9TRHSf4K

Well, I've been mostly off of here since 2016, but I think I'm ready to come back! Really have missed the sort of connections we could make with each other in like the 2010-era Twitter. What's that? I should read the news? <checks news> Hmm, well, never mind. 👋 😉

~40 mins through #TheSnyderCut and I have to say this may be the most self-indulgent work by a director I've ever seen. Snyder has become the Robert Jordan of movies. And I even tend to like self-indulgent mainstream directors (Hitchcock, Lucas, Tarantino, etc)…but yikes 😲

Ohio House passes bill allowing student answers to be scientifically wrong due to religion
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WKRC) - Ohio lawmakers are weighing in on how public schools can teach things like evolution. The Ohio House of Representatives has already passed the bill. Its sponsor, Timothy Ginter, says he just wants to clarify a student's rights to religious expression, but some lawmakers on the other side of the aisle say the bill isn't needed because of the First Amendment. The bill is called the Ohio Student Religious Liberties Act.
