Hey. The fragmentation of the social media landscape has been hard on indie #scicomm 🧪 projects So if you'd like to follow a podcast that's enthusiastic about #linguistics, could you check out @lingthusiasm.com? And if you think your followers might like to, could you give this a repost?

Outsourcing your hobby or pasttime is the ultimate sad person behavior. That's a level of depression I can't comprehend. You can't find joy in any damn thing at that point.

Ok, I had no idea what to expect of them live.... But @steampoweredgiraffe.com was pretty great. And now I have a physical copy of the second steamworld album ~ AND I got to introduce someone to them altogether! He didn't look them up at all before the show, so it was All New!

Europeans are like “oh, I could never live in America, there’s so much racism” which is true of course but then you turn on the news and another European country’s parliament has just been taken over by The Racism Party.

Lolll I've been doing this shit forever and saying the same exact thing I'm saying right now more than a decade ago and am "being pushed by contrarian media dynamics." 🙄 All of you are hypnotized by talk of fictional machine gods and it's me who has to bring evidence to the contrary.

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

We're big fans of local Saint Paul band Alligator Orchestra. After hearing songs they wrote about Root, we commissioned them to record a Kart theme song. They came back with "Don't Look Down!", two minutes of raucous pop-punk that's perfect for Kart's reckless downhill races.

Never give up on your dreams. Not because giving up is hard, but because you’ll learn how easy it is, how few ramifications there will be, how little other people cared about your dream in the first place, how addictive quitting will be now that you know it’s always an option.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport

Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.
