Tom Cardy showing up in Vox Machina as a Dark Bard? Genius. I don’t know why it’s the lowest-rated* episode. *Still 8.1

Remarkably Bright Creatures: excellent book so far. Head-canon casting: Fionnula Flanagan as Tova, Sensei Seth as Cameron, Tony Curran as Ethan. None of this makes sense, as Fionnula is Irish, not Swedish, and she & Tony are the wrong ages, but they fit in my mind… @senseiseth.bsky.social

Remember when the Dennis Kozlowski debacle with Tyco led to jail time and a Lewis Black punchline? “Three people took a billion dollars. Three took a billion. THREE! What were they going to do, START THEIR OWN SPACE PROGRAM?!?” Truly, he is a prophet.

@wilwheaton.net Working on my own beginning and ending to (and BBEG for) TitansGrave. My players are currently at the end of Chapter 6, where they have discovered an Orean (TechnoFantasy addendum) wearing a nanotech-flavored Eldritch Crown who is MUCH scarier than The Prophet… And more than one…

@edsbs.bsky.social Have you been to a DeMoulas Market Basket in New England? They used to be a sight to behold. They seemed dingy and had lousy light, but they paid their workers profit sharing, stock in the company, and if teens showed potential and loyalty, college might be paid for.

Watching HasanAbi interview @saikatforcongress.bsky.social . Now that we have computers, I advocate for a tax burden with a bit more tech: Logistic tax burden: your total tax burden should be the integral (area under curve) from zero to your income. The center hooked somewhere in median to Q3.

@fcain.universetoday.com re: Astronomy Cast 779: Moon was one of the first movies that I followed from initial trailer to release, and it was so amazing. Matrix 2 was great, in my mind. Loved the precision of The Architect’s language.

@jonathanhaidt.bsky.social Heard you on StarTalk (finally). We moved to the UK and our kids are going to a “public school” (a private school that takes public funding, and has public accountability), where phones are banned in the day (under threat of detention). Interesting culture change.

@chucknicecomic.bsky.social In September, you were chatting with Nataliya Kosmyna about school and learning. I’ve been working with teaching math with Peter Liljedahl’s “Building Thinking Classrooms” model, which pushes students to truly have space to think. I did a series on it this Fall.

“And why should there be politics writers at a teen magazine?” Offering alternative perspectives IS the threat to conservatives. This is why they keep trying to destroy education (turning it into minimalistic job training) and turning the conversation into a monoculture. It will fail spectacularly.

@guitarmoog.bsky.social “You are here” at the “Sun” marker (coordinate origin point). Looking all around, there is *some* light and cloudy nebulae toward the outer rim, but the highest density is toward the galactic center. Looking “up” from the galactic plane, there is a far smaller density.

@daraobriain.bsky.social Listening to the Curious Cases on music, and the part when Mark mentions entrainment, I suddenly remembered that there was a New Hampshire rock band called Entrain. “Dancing in the Light” was a popular song back in the ‘90s.

I get you, @chucknicecomic.bsky.social . 15 July, you said that Zoom meetings were kind of “the same place,” and Neil balked. You and your meeting participants create a *virtual* space in which to meet, or create a virtual bridge between your disparate spatial coordinates. 10/10 on that one.

Random image or everything goes wrong in June. (I like these random social media games… been a while…)

Bronze statue of William Henry Playfair on a two-tiered sandstone plinth, low tier is plain, about 2m cubical, upper tier is 2.5m tall, 1.5m wide, centered, and tapering to a 1m square, inlaid with a bronze bas-relief of two figures in Roman dress, discussing.
Playfair rests atop the second tier, leaning on a pillar with his left hand, holding books against his right hip. He is wearing his outdoor cloak.
