Glenn Fleishman @GlennF:
All you people I said you should audition for Jeopardy? Online test: Jan 8/9/10. Honestly, some of the most fun I had in life.
@GlennF Oh, great timing. I’m not going to be busy on those days at all. #CES #TheDayIsYoursTrebek
Geoff Duncan @geoffduncan:
@jeffporten @glennf The online test takes about 10 mins (15 b/c you should sign on early) and you can do a different timezone if you like.
Philip Michaels @PhilipMichaels:
I will have to check with my clergyman, but this bacon-wrapped hot dog I just ate may qualify as a Christmas miracle.
@PhilipMichaels Your rabbi unlikely to agree.
Was going to go out to a party tonight, but it’s now even odds I’ll sit alone in a dark room until I beat @mcelhearn at Letterpress.
@jeffporten @mcelhearn Or 2013, which may come first.
Playing Letterpress with @mcelhearn, and as expected, he’s attacking me like an airborne virus on aerosolized crystal meth.
Jeff Carlson @jeffcarlson:
Humans, sometimes you really fucking suck. http://read.bi/V1ujSN
@jeffcarlson But less and less often. We just live in an era when we hear about it more.
Jeff Carlson @jeffcarlson:
@jeffporten Dude, that genuinely helped. Thanks.
@jeffcarlson My pleasure. IMO, the Xmas miracle is that humans are *so good* at combatting “nasty, brutish, and short.”
@jeffcarlson Compared to most of our species historically, most of us live in paradise. We just need to keep expanding that boundary.
Dan Savage @fakedansavage:
A comment on Slog: “Remember when Trayvon Martin was shot and the NRA started a campaign encouraging young black men to arm themselves?”
Amanda C. Becker @acbeckr:
So how long are we all allowed to keep our Santa-themed profile shots up before it transcends into tacky? March? Just wondering.
@acbeckr I think I added my Amnesty badge 16 months ago for their anniversary, so really, no hurry.
Amanda C. Becker @acbeckr:
@jeffporten I like it!
Melody Kramer @mkramer:
#2012accomplishments wound up on huffington post twice for jokes. Next time, it’ll be credited, right?
@mkramer by 2024, you might even be paid.
John Scalzi @scalzi:
From all of us, Merry Christmas. And when I say “all of us,” I mean THE VOICES IN MY HEAD
@scalzi They will go away if you use Old Man War technology to give them their own bodies. Merry Christmas!
Finally succumbed to Letterpress. Warming up on random opponents before I allow my Rain Man editors to kick my ass repeatedly.
Kirk McElhearn @mcelhearn:
@jeffporten You won’t regret it! Great game.
@mcelhearn I need more ways to not work like I need a hole in my head.
Kirk McElhearn @mcelhearn:
@jeffporten There’s that, but I find it stimulating to work on my word memory.
@mcelhearn I expect to find it dispiriting when all of you start handing me my ass, nicely gift-wrapped.
Glenn Fleishman @GlennF:
Ben: “Your sock’s untied.” He says this became a funny thing that people said in his class last year.
@GlennF has he seen @adamengst‘s shoes?
Glenn Fleishman @GlennF:
Eight-track tapes, however, are dead for good, do you hear me hipsters?
@GlennF Actually, I was always fond of the serendipitous randomness of 8-track fast forward.
Glenn Fleishman @GlennF:
People shouldn’t throw glasses at rock houses.
@GlennF “WILMA! Barney got into the wine stores again. Bring the hose.”
“@io9: new Star Trek Into Darkness photos include Cumberbatch in bondage! http://on.io9.com/gZsuSV9 ”// Sherlock/Watson BDSM fanfic just spiked
Peter Cohen @flargh:
@jeffporten *snort*
Planning for Christmas. Is there a Starbucks owned by Jews anywhere?
Rene Ritchie @reneritchie:
@Lessien He should have known about Talia and set her up to get close to the trigger. Nolan forgot the “Detective” part at the end.
Lessien @Lessien:
@reneritchie Sorry but don’t follow. Disclaimer: I am not a comic book person.
Rene Ritchie @reneritchie:
@Lessien He was surprised Natalia was Ras’ daughter. He should have figured that out and played her.
Lessien @Lessien:
@reneritchie Bane? I thought the whole point was that he loved her. “Playing her” wouldn’t work if that were true.
Rene Ritchie @reneritchie:
@Lessien Sorry, Batman should have known Natalia was Ras’ daughter and not been surprised by it.
@reneritchie @lessien Hell, I knew the story from the comics and was still surprised.
Glenn Fleishman @GlennF:
Struck me today that my editor job at @TheMagazineApp is exactly as if it were in print. I’m abstracted from the physical layer.
@GlennF @themagazineapp You make it sound like Marco has anointed you bodhisattva.
I forgot how much fun it is to beat someone to death with my bare hands. #karateka #fuckinBird
Glenn Fleishman @GlennF:
Not sure that Obama promoting a photo of a boy seemingly kissing an unwilling girl in bleachers behind him is appropriate.
Lex Friedman @lexfri:
@GlennF You think too much.
Glenn Fleishman @GlennF:
@lexfri I will wait til you confront same situation.
Jeff Carlson @jeffcarlson:
@GlennF @lexfri You’re also assuming that the girl was unwilling. I agree with Lex: you’re over thinking it.
@jeffcarlson @glennf @lexfri need firsthand evidence. Where is said picture?
