@atlauren You spelled typography wrong. Love, People Who See Typos
@robpegoraro haven’t checked this, but another report says feed info still available (permanently?) in Google Takeout.
@robpegoraro Really? But it worked with the live API? That’s… odd.
@mkramer That’s how it starts. Eventually you’re sleep-blogging.
.@JonyFuckingIve Beard detection subverted. It’s iOS 7, @jdalrymple can see that shit from clear across the room even after 3 Heinekens.
That repeated popping sound you just heard was all 30-40ish comics geeks’ heads exploding. http://n.pr/161BMFp
.@nprmonkeysee Can you let Annalisa Quinn know that a “comic strip” is what’s in a newspaper? Sandman: comic book.
@nprmonkeysee Yup. You guys are, er, faster than a speeding bullet.
@nprmonkeysee Oops, belated: apologies to Annalisa if y’all don’t write your own headlines.
@mkramer Not a good idea to test your immune system against ancient microbes. But don’t worry; *all* water technically 4.7 billion y.o.
@mkramer you know, that’s not really where they keep the lox.
I assume that whomever removed the cappuccino bar from this train station is burning in the deepest circle of Hell.
On mornings I have to get up early, I must be the mortal enemy of “revitalizing” bath items. Invigorate THIS, you son of a bitch.
What happens when the Car Talk guys say “This is NPR” one too many times.
Bill introduced to regulate men’s reproductive health
Before getting a prescription for Viagra or other erectile dysfunction drugs, men would have to see a sex therapist, receive a cardiac stress test and get a notarized affidavit signed by a sexual partner affirming impotency, if state Sen. Nina Turner has her way. The Cleveland Democrat introduced Senate Bill 307 this week.
@rmogull You, personally? Because that would be impressive.
Other planets depicted here, but I think this would be one hell of an alternate Earth to live on:
Thank you, Neal Conan http://www.jeffporten.com/?p=8066
So today was Neal Conan’s last show on Talk of the Nation. I’ve been a listener for years, and I suspect I won’t know how much I’ll miss it until after it’s gone (and after I’ve worn through a bunch of podcast archives I still have lying around). TOTN is rarely destination radio, but it’s consistently good, which is damned impressive when you consider it’s on for eight hours a week.
That said, I’ll be forever grateful to Conan for one broadcast: he was on several very long NPR shows immediately following 9/11, when I was compulsively burning midnight oil sucking down all of the news I could, and reading the entire goddamned Internet. I specifically remember Conan shutting down several people he interviewed when they extrapolated from what-was-known to pure speculation, and making damned sure that his show wasn’t contributing to any rumormongering.
But beyond that, his voice and demeanor were what I think of as the best BBC tradition during a crisis: authoritative, soothing, and concerned. He helped me get through it.
So thanks, Neal. I’m sorry to see you leave my daily diet of news. You’re welcome back anytime.
Just clicked on a @TidBITS Google ad because I had no idea what it meant. Related: glass sells for $0.77 a pound.
Who’s the new @angrymacbastard handling “GOOGLE IS OPEN!” now that @flargh‘s retired? http://tidbits.com/article/13878 @bynkii @verso @Angry_Drunk
@BobLannon IIRC, the metajoke is that he’s fluent in Spanish and started the routine after visiting Telemundo.
