What a strange and historical intersection. Our lives would be hilariously odd serendipities if not for the *motions to various fires burning out of control*

I have really only been in that moment at an historic event once and it's one I'm not allowed to talk about. Twice if we count 9/11 (from NY)

YouTube video by New York City Public Advocate "I'm the first US elected official with Tourette Syndrome and I have some thoughts about BAFTA"

I appreciate this and he hit the nail on the head.

I am not a religious person, but I was still profoundly moved by this. Watch the whole thing (4-5 minutes). You'll be glad you did.

About 10% of people with Tourette Syndrome exhibit coprolalia, the involuntary utterance of inappropriate remarks.

These utterances are often what the individual *themselves* considers taboo.

It is NOT the same as lowered inhibition but rather is more similar to horrifying but intrusive thoughts.

I was that way about a lot of fruit until my dad started growing his own... makes me wish I inherited his green thumb.

Listen to this 13 year old who went to her city's council meeting.

She had some things she needed to get off her chest

Raspberries are too cloyingly sweet and have gritty bits in them.

Yeah 1200 was where I couldn't parse it any more.

The 3 million-plus people applying for immigration status changes will now be required to provide the government with their social media handles. This expansive new requirement poses a serious threat to constitutional rights.

42 years around the sun. I should have the answer to it all at this point.

Written English has barely changed in 300 years. If you can read Harry Potter, you can read Robinson Crusoe (1719).

What's your go to hot beverage on a snowy day?

Also, when will the press have the courage to call out his lies live on tv, to his face? They don't even have to swear, but it could hurt. Just say "You're a liar and we both know it!" when he lies. Do it every time. Till he is sick of it.

I am sick and I missed the US/ Canada hockey game because I was sleeping :(

Every year we watch Muppet Family Christmas from 1986 with the commercials. It's the commercials that make it cosy, a bullseye in the heart of nostalgia. Now, if you want to know tragedy, I grew up without the last 45 minutes of Return of the Jedi because my dad taped over it.

My former tankie classmate at DLI would be a billionaire.

It just looks that way.

There is no Scrooge but Bark's Scrooge and Rosa is his prophet. (but no the 2017 Ducktales is choice)

Link to the Past is etched in my bones. The music, the geography, the gameplay. I'm pretty sure I have done parts of it while nodding off.

It's a weird feeling to mourn what someone used to be in light of who they are. Those who lack nuance will insist that "this was who they were all along", but I always find that too sweeping. It *is* sad what failure and age have done to him, the seething bitterness and inability to reflect.

I forgot that every LLM's logo was a butthole

If one really likes Ready Player One, I have a snarky comment withheld about their probable views on a Universes Beyond. 👀

Yes! I know so few people who have read those, they were pivotal to my high school years. So many threads woven into such an epic tapestry. Confident-cocky-lazy-dead is something I still remind folks who get a little too high on their own supply.

I am this way when I hear Ironic. 10000 Spoons is such a better song.
