jmoiron plays the blues

@jmoiron this tweet is about holding powerful people accountable for the harm their misinformation causes (not censorship) and not about banning books and classes in public schools and legislatures (censorship) because the powerful fear accountability and not censorship

@jmoiron in the last 2 years, vaccine misinformation has led to the unnecessary deaths of hundreds of thousands of people and election integrity misinformation led to an attempt to forcefully overthrow the democratic election of the head of the federal government https://t.co/yLQvpuceTg

@jmoiron this is cool I'm sure that I'll never mistake arm64 for amd64

@jmoiron Wow bold move of the embattled Spotify CEO to make a big move on crypto in the middle of this boycott crisis. https://t.co/YzJSFGChdQ

@jmoiron @Carnage4Life @anildash The article is about NYC though, and Anil lives here. I live in the neighborhood that the article is about and I can't say I've felt like things are getting visibly worse.

@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?

@jmoiron I 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.

@jmoiron Didn't think he would ever outdo "In Search of a Flat Earth" but I think he has. https://t.co/n5YOFSalhL

@jmoiron So 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.

@jmoiron They 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.

@jmoiron The @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

@jmoiron Every 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)

@jmoiron Probably bad that using mercator is the 2nd most problematic projection issue with this map https://t.co/X538Bgt5hg

@jmoiron Ring in the New Year with these punjabi bangers (bhangers) that I heard about 100 times each at the wedding I went to last week: https://t.co/U3zl2vY1tW https://t.co/616qofQW7Z https://t.co/Q1DobujYXu

@jmoiron Watching this happen to my home while I'm not there is like an out of body experience. https://t.co/9M8sEGMIxY

@jmoiron wow twist ending where this outcome is actually bad is late 90s m. night shyamalan https://t.co/lAg2xs2DMj

@jmoiron The "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

@jmoiron wasn'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...
