Stu Duerson, machina exo deus

@JauntyArt@crispsandwi.ch Interesting historic fact. Ancient documents were considered authentic only if they were sealed with Babybel wax imprinted with a signet ring.

@scottjshapiro They were confined to their cells.

@dgar@aus.social The corollary to that is Schrodinger's Sock. If you put a sock in the dryer, you do not know whether the sock is there, or lost. This theory is named after Argyle Schrodinger, who also developed the mathematical proof for chirality of socks.

@dgar@aus.social -1. Avoid negativity.

@markarayner@mas.to He wrote a book about book burning that may be soon burned (in Florida). Who says God doesn't have a vicious sense of humor. Bradbury also talked in the book of the video screen that took up an entire wall, and the actors a 'Truman' style TV family. I'd say reality tv has dropped us off about there. He was pretty good at extrapolating.

@Joe_Hill @jentaub I'd have to agree, but he was spectacularly unaware, as he did it. Which shows his total lack of filter, but... This is just a bit above the Vance Couch in its 'apocryphal only' identity, but I'll revel in it anyway, up to the point in time where we're forced to add 'allegedly'!

@Pwnallthethings@mastodon.social Job opening for senior management position within the corporate world of war supplementals. Applicants must not be afraid of heights, hot beverages, or itchy underwear. To apply, please send at least 3 close relatives for the purposes of insurance.

@Morgunin@rollenspiel.social Well, that's certainly cynical. And on the anniversary day for me and my Canadian girlfriend, no less!

@cindyweinstein@mastodon.world @usluck@channels.im North Carolina likes to keep their dead voters happy! Neuralink likes the idea, too!

@SpaceLifeForm @Popehat They're out there. In my case, it was after dark about 10 miles N of St. George, UT on I-15, and a car passed me doing almost twice my speed, about 110. I started down a hill as he was climbing up the next one, and his headlights veered off the road to the right, and sailed off about a 30ft drop. I didn't have much doubt he'd bought it, and told 911 so. By the time I was passing St. George, they had the EMT response heading back up the road. On the road, stupidity can erase life in a blink of an eye.

@rabbijill@sfba.social The person who served AT Gitmo, should have been serving IN Gitmo.

@sysop408@sfba.social Elon has secretly placed a billion dollar bet that the first man on Mars will have a limp. He swore he'd make money off of Twitter, and he's finally found a way to do it!

@MissingThePt@mastodon.social And the oxygen ran out of it, about 10 months ago. Some things just don't know how to die properly.

@georgetakei@universeodon.com Don't mention "orange." It is no longer taught in Florida elementary education, as they fill their school libraries with de-coloring books, exclusively.

@jentaub A microphone? Oh good lord, makes me wonder what's going to come out of a glory hole next at the next MAGA rally! These folks are performative, to a fault.😁

@ErikUden@mastodon.de I hear you, but at the same time, the electronic infrastructure means you can download, cache and hide any content you want to preserve. The 'woods' of Fahrenheit 451 still exists, where the knowledge will not die. One hopes it never devolves to that, and the prescience of your warning is not diminished.

@felicityhannah@mastodon.green Riiight. And a McFlurry is possible, too... At the NEXT McDonalds.

@cmconseils@mastodon.social We're having coyote tonite. You stickin' around?

@halfcocked@mstdn.social Stand by for Georgia to show its true rebel colors. With their new law allowing the a governor's committee to remove prosecutors, I can see them firing Fanni Willis or her successor the second the indictment grand jury votes to indict.

@kathygriffin@mstdn.social Why do leaves get all the fun? Enquiring minds want to know!

@georgelakoff@sfba.social @gilduran@journa.host It's almost like this is deja vu, all over again. (a nod to Yogi) It's been a transition, but I consider it an honor to have been banned for commenting (within bounds, by the way) on Musk's feed within 48 hrs of him taking over. Dictator -> bad. Dictator with paper thin skin-> a powerful clown.

@not2b@sfba.social @wikipedia@wikis.world A portmanteau sure to piss off the Minoans!
