@skinnylatte What a happy cat!

@skinnylatte You coulda been tuning a database but instead you get to tuna fish! \o/

@skinnylatte TRAIN!

I think I’m finally beginning to understand how a technologically and socially sophisticated society like the galaxy in Star Wars can transform within a single generation into a despotism patrolled by storm troopers, where the citizens have no remaining civil rights, where an all-powerful emperor is able to wield the power of the entire state at will, and where there are no railings on any raised platforms.

@darnell Wait, what? Please tell us this story! (Or link pls if you’ve shared it before.)

@sundogplanets I didn't know it under that name, but once I googled it I realized I knew it as "that thing that happened in the movie _Gravity_". I still voted "No idea" because the name means nothing to me.

@inthehands This video is amazing. I can almost hear the quiet hum of satisfaction with which the soap dispenser gently soaps the hand of the person plugging in the power cable.

@hosford42 Ugh, that sucks. We’re hiring a team lead for knowledge graphs and language models if that would interest you? https://unc.peopleadmin.com/postings/273213

@evan There is exactly one #StarWars movie that -- despite several flaws -- made me Feel Things and I immediately wanted to rewatch when I'd finished it -- and of course it's #TheLastJedi. That last scene alone gets me every single time.

(One reason for this is the gorgeous cinematography, perfectly illustrated by Luke Ryan's epic Twitter thread at https://twitter.com/RazorwireRyan/status/977698078294794241)
