Are we taking bets yet on when the GOP will test market the idea that women shouldn’t get to vote?
I cannot express how excited I am for GAMERS 4: DORKNESS FALLS. Please please pretty please help get this movie funded. It would mean the world to me. @Kickstarter kickstarter.com/projects/146…
It seems conservatives had no problem with Prince Charles changing his pronouns. – at Caledon, Ontario

Hey there science chickens! Greg’s unavailable for this point five episode so I got to mess around talking about movies with @carrington. It was a darned delight

Just pre-ordered Nox Archaist: Lord of Storms. Bring on more retro CRPG fun! nox-archaist.myshopify.com/p…
Sunscreen on my arms inevitably becomes sunscreen on my hands, which inevitably becomes sunscreen in my eyes. Please excuse any typos I can no longer see.
BBC is in talks to host the Eurovision song contest in the UK. They do know what the “Euro” part means, right? #Brexit #HaveCakeAndEatItToo
TFW you spend almost two hours failing to compile and install Inform6 on a new Mac before trying "brew install inform6". Sigh.
Have you said "I miss the 1 MHz podcast"? Well it's time to pony up. If my gf's kickstarter gets funded in 1 day then I'll relaunch 1 MHz to celebrate.
Only needs $5K: kickstarter.com/projects/509…
Buy pretty sponges, get an Apple II podcast. Everybody wins.
Please retweet.

The Twitter robots, scoring high on the artificial half but poorly on the intelligent half, have made an error locking @a2_4am's account. If me tagging @TwitterSupport helps cause a less artificial and more intelligent look to be taken at this, then tag @TwitterSupport I shall.
As an avid Apple II user @a2_4am provides a much needed service for the preservation of the platform.
Their recent blocking by @TwitterSupport is clearly an error.
Please review this mistake.
A favour: my gf has a Kickstarter starting this Tues. (GetDotti.com) It would me a LOT to me if it was funded quickly.
Carrot: if it gets funded in 1 day (just $5,000) I will bring back 1 MHz.
So: you buy a pretty sponge, I’ll give you a podcast. Deal?

Since the Apple II launched 45 years ago, and I also caught up with its creator, Steve Wozniak (@stevewoz), who I interviewed for @howtogeek:
howtogeek.com/809165/steve-w…
He talked the role video games played in crafting the Apple II, Steve Jobs, things he'd do differently, and more

On the latest episode of #EatenByAGrue @KaySavetz and I buckle our swashes and become pirates seeking The Secret of Monkey Island. monsterfeet.com/grue/notes/4…
Oops, there was some faulty audio in the original mix of this episode. If you delete and re-download it you’ll get the corrected episode. Probably. I think. Or maybe I don’t know what I’m doing. #YeahProbablyThatLastOne
For the next episode of #EatenByAGrue @KaySavetz and I will tackle Their Angelical Understanding, by Porpentine. We’re going to learn how to fight angels, apparently. ifwiki.org/Their_angelical_u…

Proposed new CAPTCHA. Forget “prove you’re not a robot”, I want sites to require “prove you’re not a monster: type ‘abortions are healthcare’ to complete your order.”
