Is everyone having a happy new year so far? Because I believe I told you to do so recently, so now I just want to follow up on it. If it hasn’t been done so far, please use this message as a reminder to have a happy new year at your earliest convenience.

Because it used to be, if a ship had a Havarie at sea and goods were lost, it was hard to determine individual damage for every customer who had sent something on the vessel. So to simplify things, everyone was expected to pay the Haverage, i.e., (h)average value of the shipment.

Another German word that I’m trying to establish in the US: a Havarie is damage to a transport vessel. You could say “they did get the wedding invitation, but there was a Havarie”, meaning it got damaged along the way. Fun fact: you already use a variation of this word —

Anyway, I guess that linked news item about historic and catastrophic hacks is also somewhat interesting.

This is not relevant here, but super-GAU is such a useful word: GAU is an abbreviation for “biggest assumable accident” in German — basically the worst plausible scenario. Thus, a super-GAU is an event that transcends what had been considered the plausible worst case.https://twitter.com/julianroepcke/status/1081139001027903489 …

Still surprised that I don't see anyone talking about how Trump's motivation for insisting on that wall is very clearly personal enrichment.https://twitter.com/fMRI_guy/status/1073235418471108609 …

Guericke's unicorn at the Natural History Museum in

I don't understand the 'm***erf***er' controversy -- what's the use of a swearing-in ceremony without actual swearing?

With the Spawn movie being the last holdout, and still no release date being announced for it even though it's supposed to come out this year, I think this tweet will prove to be prophetic.https://twitter.com/fMRI_guy/status/1003745241592160264 …

It also helps as a reality check for how to deal with right-wing outrage: Would it have helped if the game held back? No. Would it help if AOC appeased the right in any reasonable way? No. Their outrage would be exactly the same. So, in summary: be yourself,
@AOC. /endShow this threadThanks. Twitter will use this info to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
My interpretation of them booing her (but nobody else who does the same thing as her), and them being confused by a dancing video, is that free-floating outrage is in full effect. The question is now whether AOC's reasonable reactions to these things will make it better or worse.

We see a similar reaction to Ocasio-Cortez: of course her win upsets some on the right (due to her background, age, gender, ethnicity). But as their outrage is stronger than these things would justify, they make up all kinds of nonsense about her past or her political views. 7/

This made me realize the dynamics of what I'll call free-floating outrage: of course the right was irritated by the game, but the irritation was stronger than the game could justify. So, in an effort to reduce cognitive dissonance, they confabulated facts. 6/
