Harvard is in a football playoff game! There's no need to look at the score. Let's all just be excited that they are in the playoffs! Woo

Gotta get those middle people the leave while you don’t.

(My strategy: As long as it still lists a wait time in the app, I’m usually fine to wait.)

Depends on the ride. And if you can see the exit to see if people are being evac’d
Rise is like a full 45 min restart (iirc) if it’s anything more than “person needs more time to load”

Our in-arena sound effects/music includes the opening notes of "Grim, Grinning Ghosts" aka The Haunted Mansion theme. Obv I *love* it

In progress

I was going to say take Cowboy to the boardwalk and take pics with him in front of roller coasters but apparently they don't allow dogs which is just very stupid

I understand it is cliche to form a parasocial relationship with podcasts hosts, but im am certain Michael Hobbes and I would be friends

My go to plane games are (sometimes it’s about replaying a good puzzle game):

Stardew valley
Hades 1/2
Monster Trains
Case/Rise of the Golden Idol
South Park (stick & fractured)
Roottrees are dead
Spelunkies

That looks amazing

Yeah that’s the joke.

A big mass of people. Definitely not an orderly line.

Yeeepppp

This must have been a different entrance. The one I went to was packed to the gills. I have extensive experience waiting in lines and I bailed after 90 mins when the line broke down and became a mass of people.

I always get a mental image of a guy driving one of these down the Vegas strip. Like. Thinking it’s cool but just so very much not

This is yes yes no and sports sports sports all in one go.

I’m at the DC Pride parade. There are people with military themed shirts on with trans flag colors and the slogan “let them serve”
Fantastic

Oh don’t worry, I’ve seen this. And yes, it is atrocious.
But also it’s 100% definitely true and I should get paid millions.

Hah!

I need one that is “number of times I googled ‘rename column by name’” over time

Annoyingly/sadly, I won't be able to make the excellent sounding JSM panel "The past, present, and future of sports analytics in industry and the academy" because it is at 830am on Monday and I have to be in Minneapolis Sunday night. Absolute all-star lineup for that panel.

After, uh, ignoring other aspects of my life for hours on end, I have rolled credits. I'm sure there is way more to discover, but not sure I have the patience.

I’m 11 days in. Not sure I have the patience for this. Like with Outer Wilds you could be so close to something and then the day ends… but you can just go right back. With this… gotta pray to the RNG gods

I don't care if they aren't real direwolves. I just want to appreciate that we got direwolves before we got The Winds of Winter

I'm so excited.

The Nashville Sounds (AAA team for the Brewers) have home games that overlap with JSM this year.
And its bring your dog to the stadium on that Tuesday night.
So... I will be doing that.

Say you read a paper that intersects two areas of your expertise. And that paper is terrible. Do you:
1. blast it on social media
2. politely email the authors
3. close the window and try to forget it even exists
?

80 degrees and peak bloom on Saturday. Tidal Basin is gonna be a whole mess

Happy Holi!

Saw a guy wearing an Ohion State sweatshirt that says "Ohio Against the World" and like.... shouldn't it say "THE Against the World"?

My friends throw the best parties

I hate to be that person but like, what’s the denominator?
Gotta have volume and rate.
