Tobasco’s Twits of the Week for 2009-12-06

  • RT @Dr_Dinosaur: I just generated my #TweetCloud out of a year of my tweets. Top three words: mammal, behold, world – http://w33.us/1bpr #
  • RT @serafinowicz: US followers: Happy You'reWelcomesaying. #
  • An MIT economist has analysed the Senate's proposed health care plan and its effect on premiums: http://is.gd/575ld #
  • Just arrived back in Boston after 12 hours of flying. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. *crash* #
  • RT @elles: #OMGfacts The Apollo moon landings were faked by travelling forward in time to obtain CGI technology and then going back to 1969. #
  • It would have to be the Idiot's Guide, wouldn't it? RT @fortyseven: http://twitpic.com/riw3u #
  • Will there be a scene where the leads all get cancer from improperly-disposed hazardous waste? http://www.imdb.com/news/ni1241328/ #
  • Guys, I'm starting to think that eating all those leftover Thanksgiving desserts was not such a great idea. #
  • I just spent like $90 on comics, but a big chunk of that was the complete Ben Edlund Tick, so it was well-spent. #
  • RT @sciam: Seven Answers to Climate Contrarian Nonsense: On November 18, with the United Nations Global Warming Conf… http://bit.ly/8bg9Fx #
  • Probably just another boring chick flick. RT @serafinowicz: Intrigued by this new film Ninja Assassin. Anyone know what it's about? #
  • RT @ebertchicago: Too many movie characters have jobs involving ruling people, killing them, or going to high school. #
  • Thanks to @theisb tweeting about Wodehouse, I've just cast Batman & Alfred as Wooster & Jeeves, respectively. I think this idea has legs. #
  • I'm pretty sure I've said this before, but if you like crime fiction even a little bit you need to be reading @brubaker's CRIMINAL comics. #
  • Good morning, Twitter! Today is a good day, I think, to celebrate Jaco Pastorius' birthday: http://is.gd/58W4h #
  • SHOCKING REVELATION: "Religious people tend to use their own beliefs as a guide in thinking about what God believes…" http://is.gd/58WJx #
  • RT @Scott_Wegna Today's AWESOME brought to you by ROBOTECH. ROBOTECH; makers of fine transformable airplanes since 1987 http://bit.ly/7R0YJ4 #
  • Words of wisdom. RT @bug_girl: Your dick is safe, no matter what the news says. #
  • http://www.zappos.com/product/7580981/color/151 — What? #
  • Michael Shermer is saying something stupid in AmSci. Read this instead, because it's not stupid: http://bit.ly/7gqTLD #
  • Why, yes! It is! RT @warrenellis: Isn't it way past time that "killer whales" were renamed Death Dolphins? #
  • RT @angrytownhall: "Give me multiple foreign occupations and deep tax cuts for the wealthy or give me death." -Patrick Henry #
  • Shermer's AmSci article was what I thought. Whining because Jerry Coyne was mean to him, rather than addressing the substantive criticism. #
  • Where by "was mean to" I mean, "pointed out the obvious, arrogant implications behind his position": http://is.gd/59r3y #
  • Fuck Michael Shermer. He complains that Coyne is rude, but HIS article is the one full of empty sneering with no substance behind it. #
  • RT @FakeAPStylebook: When burying the lede always eliminate any witnesses. #
  • It's pile on Shermer week! Here's another good post about his recent silliness: http://www.mirandacelestehale.net/?p=633 #
  • Shit like this is why Team Fortress 2 is the only online game I ever play any more (because Valve has PLAYTESTERS, ffs): http://is.gd/5aCYi #
  • DO IT NOW: http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/5153/14750187436518636821938.jpg #
  • Watching Monster Tracker on Discovery. Potentially interesting premise: redesigning mythological beasts based on real animals. #
  • So apparently Komodo Dragons have actual venom, it's just subtle. It prevents coagulation so victims bleed out. Cool. #
  • Hahaha. LAB ACCIDENT. And there wasn't a wash station in the room. Science lulz! #
  • Neat, they're actually keeping a tetrapod body plan for the dragon. Wings replacing forelimbs instead of stacked on top awkwardly. #
  • So Monster Tracker was a little rough, but it's not a bad show at all. #
  • I was gonna make a "Yo Dawg" joke about this, but Hack a Day already did: http://is.gd/5aJtv #
  • Deepak Chopra, professional bloviating moron, thinks skeptics have never contributed anything to society: http://is.gd/5aJOA #
  • New hat!!! The Fedora arrived. Still awaiting my Homburg. #
  • Neat! Circumvent Comcast. RT @fortyseven: Google Public DNS – http://bit.ly/4qDuTN #
  • So, yeah. NEW HAT!! http://twitpic.com/s1s71 #
  • I'm mildly bummed to discover that Neko Case is going to have to share her episode of Elvis Costello's Spectacle. I demand an all-Neko ep! #
  • THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING. RT @rebeccawatson: BREAKING NEWS! PLEASE RT http://is.gd/5ccnQ #
  • Interesting correlation, but the opposite direction of causation seems more plausible to me. http://is.gd/5cj6e #
  • This particular Homburg's brim might be turned up a bit too sharply for my taste. I'm picky about these things; I prefer subtle statements. #
  • So, yeah, health care teabaggers are racists: http://futurity.org/top-stories/bias-colors-opinion-on-obama-policies/ #
  • http://bit.ly/7HwNbO via @TheOnion – Three Eminent Biologists And 'Growing Pains'' Kirk Cameron Weigh In On Evolution #
  • More Shermer-fail from a few months back that I was just made aware of: http://is.gd/5cBMi #
  • For fuck's sake, biker, that's a one-way street. Stop making us look bad. #
  • RT @theisb: If this book had a face, I would punch it in the dick. #chrisvstwilight #
  • ADORABLE. RT @garfunkeloates Ha! Such a cute picture! RT @rilobilly http://twitpic.com/s7mn9 – @garfunkeloates Xmas Extravaganza!! AMAZING!! #
  • Oh, sweet, there's a desktop version of the Echofon Twitter client now. (Mac only.) #
  • Just discovered a 6-volume series consisting of a single Wodehouse short story translated into languages like Yiddish and Chaucerian English #
  • Yes, one of the volumes has an Esperanto translation. #
  • Note to self: 'tis the season to wear gloves that cover your fingers, you dork. #
  • The Wisdom of Solomon in politics: http://www.balloon-juice.com/?p=30776 #
  • Why Atomic Robo is awesome: "Somewhat like if the Cuban Missile Crisis happened in a world with lightning guns." http://is.gd/5duFv #
  • I know! SIX volumes, and the English version of the story is only 22 pages. I was tempted, but they didn't have Vol I. ;) #
  • Suffice to say, you haven't properly experienced Wodehouse unless you've read him in the original Esperanto. #
  • Loud assholes arguing with each other about how much pussy they get. #youmightbeinadivebarif #
  • P.s.: Fuck yeah, snow! #
  • SO CUTE YOU GUYS. RT @garfunkeloates: http://twitpic.com/sdizo – @rikilindhome and @katemicucci making "Present Faces". #
