@jmoiron@jasonhevans I don't think I understand what you meant, then. To me, "very soon" means "in a short amount of time" and is not so different from "nearly"
@jmoiron@jasonhevans What metric are you looking at that makes you say we're nearly ready for non-mask normalcy?
@jmoironI learned the word "apophthegm" in HS, which has a silent "ph" and "g". I thought there might be some consistency, but "phth" is pronounced "th" in phthalic acid and phenolphthalein, "fth" in naphtha and (sometimes) diphthong, "pth" in diphtheria, and "pt" in ophthamologist.
@jmoironDidn't think he would ever outdo "In Search of a Flat Earth" but I think he has. https://t.co/n5YOFSalhL
@jmoironSo the twitter NFT profile feature essentially allows anyone to buy an NFT of your face and then appear to be a more authoritative version of you than you are on twitter.
@jmoironThey spent $6.3bn on the 2nd avenue subway for 4 new stations, 3 of which only have one platform. The cost to add PEDs is often cited to be several million per station; we can say NYC would overpaid and spent $30m, which is still just 0.5% of the budget.
@jmoironThe @NYCTSubway and MTA have repeatedly decided that platform edge doors are "too expensive", which can only mean think the number of people being injured and killed by trains is acceptable. https://t.co/mqKnFwBaRi
@jmoironEvery single Twitter ad I've seen today is NY targeted sports betting. https://t.co/fdcCevwFd0
@jmoiron@jkass99 Is this "aussie patriot" a joke, why does he have kiwi flags in his profile?
@jmoiron@JasonBrougham Pretty sure I saw 3 of them (saw them fly west from UES)
@jmoironProbably bad that using mercator is the 2nd most problematic projection issue with this map https://t.co/X538Bgt5hg

@jmoironThe "log4j security issue shows memory safety isn't everything" take is very "zonal marking", where people treat memory safety bugs as the fault of the individual and a non-safety related bug in a safe language is somehow a failure of that entire system.
@jmoiron@buckwilson and leaving off the last vowl
@jmoironwasn't web2 just ajax and css and rounded corners and proxima nova
@jmoiron@clofresh There's this evolution of complexity arc at the center of it but maybe it's a stretch to call it a story haha.. It works its way into the music, visuals, and the representation of your character.
@jmoiron@clofresh Rez was "just a rail shooter" but I'd never really experienced storytelling that was so thoroughly "through the medium" of a video game. SotC was a lot like that too; both sparse and non-verbal stories, but it was also the first game I felt captured a cinematic grande...
@jmoiron@clofresh Rez, Shadow of the Colossus
@jmoironpeople on twitter accusing other people on twitter of being 'performative'
@jmoironhaiku:
