For October #Zillow should add a "haunted/not haunted" filter option

What's the most challenging *fiction* book you've ever read (and completed), and what made it challenging? 📚💙 #booksky

Very very helpful FYI

<communist statisticians seizing the means, medians, AND modes of production>

Who, indeed :P 📚🪐 (From *The Futurological Congress*, 1971)

I think one of the greatest general virtues of good #humanities teachers is their ability to ask fruitful, stimulating, "guiding," but not overly *leading* questions at the right times in a person's knowledge acquisition process. That is actually a really difficult and subtle art.

New #cozymystery idea: "Cold Cuts and Cold Cases," where a whimsical deli employee has to solve a decades-old murder

People who grow giant pumpkins are the feeders of the #gardening world

I'm about 70% confident that *The Worm Ouroboros* was easier to write than it is to read. 📚🪐

Misophonia: the sound of miso

There's something very noble and romantic about spending months painting a painting, which can then be 'consumed' by a viewer in less than a minute or two, if that. Is there any other art form with such a huge discrepancy?

Just two days until our EXTENDED deadline of August 7 to apply for our hybrid #CSCW2025 workshop! You still have time to share your ideas and experiences with us :) #cscw #civictech

Remember letmegooglethatforyou? I never thought that specific style of beautiful passive-aggressiveness would ever seem passé.

@wsdot.wa.gov Fun new upgrade for I5 express lanes? www.youtube.com/shorts/gC-PP...

Great news! We have EXTENDED the deadline for our #CSCW2025 workshop to Thursday, August 7 (Anywhere on Earth). If you've been thinking about applying but didn't quite have enough time, you've now got an extra week. Really looking forward to your exciting submissions!

Just ten more days to apply to our #CSCW #CSCW2025 hybrid workshop on doing research and design in government settings!

There needs to be more female leprechaun representation

I think I've wandered too far into #gardening social media. Got a Youtube recommend about using your own pee to fertilize your plants. Going to have to do some self-reflection.

"Friends in Low Places" would go hard as a craven populist campaign song. [Also just goes hard in general.]

Plants are so pathetically grateful for water. It's almost a little embarrassing.

You have until July 31 AOE to apply to join our hybrid #CSCW2025 workshop on design in government contexts. Workshop submission is pretty short and straightforward, so there's still plenty of time! Looking forward to all the great submissions!

Did you know that some people remember the Mandela Effect once being called the Biko Effect?

The intrinsically eerie skittering and twitching of arthropods is like cosmic horror at micro scale

The first applications of the term "post-truth era" now seem kind of innocent and shortsighted in comparison to what has happened since.

Speculating about future tech needs to include plenty of speculating about what unique and peculiar characters could become prominent because of that tech's characteristics. So not just, what will the future 'internet' be, but who will be the Amberlynn Reid or Andrew Tate of that internet?

Few know this but Trump is actually a Bokononist

Excited to announce our #CSCW hybrid workshop "Governments as design contexts: Institutional realities of technology and design in government settings." Keynote by Prof. Chris LeDantec! Apply by July 31. Empirical, theoretical, + critical perspectives wanted! More: sites.google.com/uci.edu/gov-...

I wonder what would qualify a presidential candidate to be blessed with Sir Mix-a-Lot's permission to use "Jump On It" as a campaign song

Philosophy journals should have advice columns

It's kind of crazy that R. Kelly used to call HIMSELF the "Pied Piper of R&B." Yikes

Genuine and heartfelt shoutout to the public service workers here in the US who amidst all this chaos, keep doing their important jobs with honor, skill, and diligence.

Well the mail starts comin' and it don't stop comin'

#Wicked, aka UTC, because it's "Green witch mean time"

Possibly my least favorite bit of design terminology is "need."

The fact that grafting actually works genuinely feels like some kind of nature magic

I feel like soyjack is, in practice (not in its original intent), one of the most useful and emotionally nuanced memes ever

Wouldn't it be odd to have a schism these days? Somebody setting up an antipope in like, Nashville or something.

New bad #realitytv idea: "Guilt Trip." People sucker their romantic partner into a fun cruise, but it's so they'll be a captive audience for addressing some simmering relationship problem the in-on-it partner was having trouble bringing up. Bonuses: potential drama w/other couples; nautical hijinks.

'Earthworm' got to be one of the most correctly named things ever

In the warm sunset The coming night's tiny teeth Nibble at my flesh #poem #haiku

There needs to be a #UX term for interactions that seemingly only happen by accident, such as, for me, taking screenshots on my phone

Calf muscles punish you for DAYS for having the audacity to exercise them

SharePoint makes me work so hard to get to anything I'm gonna start calling it HidePoint

Tomorrow I shall realize my vision of a true #shamrockshake. It will have only a tiny bit of mint, but will also have matcha, pandan, and who knows what else--I hope it will end up just being mysteriously, syncretically green. To counter the disappointment of the McDonald's one aka mouthwash shake.
