  1. @debcha Was surprised the Joss Whedon's AVENGERS did *not* pass it.
  2. “God Save The Queen” by Sex Pistols is my new jam. ♫ t.thisismyjam.com/cascio/_1vcsdjm
  3. @kellysue It is live, and right now consists of the irritated guy in the folding chair
  4. @kellysue (do they know it says "WACTH US LIVE"?)
  5. Optometrist just told me that my optic nerves are “nice and thick.” Well then.
  6. @reihan Q: if the city has a population as large as some countries, what makes muni regulation acceptable, and federal not?
  7. Hydrogel polymer electrode for supercapacitors: works better, much cheaper, can be applied with an inkjet printer. arstechnica.com/science/2012/0…
  8. @dcurtisj add a "motherfuckin'" to that and it's a great Sam Jackson line.
  9. @heathr You're like the Grinch! Except with boobs.
  10. @shaviro Fascinating.
  11. @warrenellis @wilw Yeah, but $26/hr is like 48 pence in sterling, no?
  12. (I'm quoted heavily in this one) RT @io9: Could a private corporation like SpaceX really land the first humans on Mars? on.io9.com/xr4S
  13. @wilw @warrenellis The H-I law gets skewed when you travel abroad, though. Most I've paid was $26/hr in Hungary in a not-so-great hotel.
  14. @drgrist Does that report also note the the Pope is indeed Catholic, and that ursine defecatory behavior takes place in forests?
  15. @eccalkins @warrenellis That's how you were described in the piece that captured your Storification, and I just went with it.
  16. Hey @warrenellis -- I just re-read TRANSMETROPOLITAN again. I don't know if I ever said this, but thank you for writing it.
  17. @PaulGrahamRaven I don't know offhand -- but it seems like there really should be such a resource.
  18. @PaulGrahamRaven no worries -- I'm glad you caught it at IEET
