there's something to be said for making some software to do something, calling it done, and then not updating it except maybe to fix things that break "move fast and break things" startup culture has leaked HARD into open source personal software; no commits this year = ""dead""

This works. Other possible titles include Dr Who's Line is it Anyway? Doc the Week or Never Mind the Daleks

I think it would work better as a panel show, where David Tennant and Peter Capaldi are team captains. On David's team, it's Catherine Tate, Camille Coduri and Bernard Cribbins. On Peter's, it's Jenna Coleman, Michelle Gomez and Matt Lucas. Title: Have I Got Who For You.

Throughout 2021 I've been keeping a note on my phone when one event, conversation or format absolutely DOMINATED my Twitter feed. Not meme formats on ig. Not news stories on reddit. Twitter. Here's what took over twitter in 2021:

Soon we’ll have a story bounty where we’ll post topics we want articles on and then folks can write them! If you’d ever like to workshop ideas I’m happy to help there. Maybe swing by our slack or DM?

Getting somebody who doesn't want kids to have them will make them resent you for the rest of their life.

Children aren’t a compromise people should be making at all — either wanting or not wanting them. They are a lifetime sacrifice and commitment, not a negotiating tool. In short, no.

We are officially now in that weird haze between Christmas and New Years when we're all like what day is it? Are banks open? Are other people working? Is it still okay to eat leftover ham? What am I doing with my life? Is my ex happy?

Cyber Panda 🐼 (@c0dehard)Sat, 25 Dec 2021 15:14 GMT

The ‘mas’ in ‘Christmas’ comes from the word ‘mass’, which, in its turn, is thought to come from the Latin phrase ‘Ite, missa est’ spoken by a priest at the end of the liturgy and which can be translated as ‘Go, it is the dismissal’. So Christmas means 'go away Christ'.

The grinch is a story about the power of redemption and community, so it's fitting cops don't understand it.

Literally the point of this story is that The Grinch is redeemed (dare I say 'rehabilitated') without the intervention of any form of carceral apparatus.

the grinch does not need to be released for good behavior because he is redeemed thru restorative and distributive justice in collaboration with his victims. that’s. the entire plot of the movie

“yeah we deprived him of his liberty and gloated about it on social media but don’t worry, we are going to release him soon AND thank him” like, what? is this routine police protocol?
