Tweets from @aprotim (that's me! On the old site.) #1: “At a talk by Andy Weir about his new book. The majority of time talking about the story is excusing why it's ok that he has no idea how to write an Arab Woman main character. Lots of super WTF whiteness. I'm actually less likely to read it after this talk.” #2: “"It's a small community, so racism isn't practical! Like America in the 1830s!" "She's second generation, and second generation Americans are totally Americanized, so I could just make up her culture since she grew up in my made up moon city!"”

XKCD showing two panes of a stick-figure newscaster. One, labeled "Dishonest" has a chyron reading "Bailout: 170 billion, Bonuses: $165 million". In the other, labeled "Honest", the chyron reads "Bailout: $170,000 million, Bonuses: $165 million" Below, the text reads: Dear news organizations: stop giving large numbers without context or proper comparison. The difference between a million and a billion is the difference between me having a sip of wine and 30 seconds with your daughter, and a bottle of gin in the night with her.

Two uniformed officers were responding to a call about a large, disorderly group in Washington Square Park when two men "intentionally struck the police officers multiple times with snow and ice in the head, neck and face, causing injuries," according to the NYPD.

But if you want more details, here they are: It was "Canadian Desi Stand-Up Comedy Superstars Show" in Brampton on 8 November, 2024. It featured Jabar Bains, Johnny Bata, Sunny Deewana, and Azfar Ali. It was put on by Laal Button in collaboration with Heritage India. I, personally, have no familiarity with any of the proper nouns in that description.

Tweet from @NickyFrank30: My grandfather used to say "and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel" and never knew what it meant until after he died my grandmother explained some magazine did a fluff interview with Magda Goebbels a few years before WW2 that included her strudel recipe and my grandfather, who hated the Nazis with the passion of 10,000 suns, thought it was an example of the media sanitizing evil people and he would use the phrase when someone asked him to overlook a bad person doing bad things and focus on the good.
A tweet from Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) When a young male (let's say 14 to 19) is a danger to himself and others, society gives the supporting family two options: 1. Watch people die. 2. Kill your own son. Those are your only options. I chose #1 and watched my stepson die. I was relieved he took no one else with him.
