@grok how many of President Trump’s tweets and truth social posts use a word that ends in an apostrophe indicating a missing letter such as turning “-ing” into “-in’”?

@oldenoughtosay I’m jealous of the variety of spellings available elsewhere. In the USofA we’ve apparently limited ourselves to M, E O, and W.

Hey @CubPR any bets on how long it takes to get through this line? It’s not thanksgiving. You simply have to start staffing the St. Paul midway store.

@HawsAngela8285 @WNBA The ad break while the game was going and a play under review - a critical point - was most annoying

@UrsulaV I re-read almost everything 2 or more times. Watership Down I read exactly once and it still gives me chills 40 years later. Never chose to take that ride again as it’s already seared into memory.

UX designers who eliminated the filesystem from user consciousness in name of simplicity ruined the world and are morally culpable for shriveling minds of children who are unable to tackle the challenges of today thanks to a choice rooted in misunderstood advocacy for the user.

I just published a wildly over-researched article about a question that has been plaguing me for months: Why is this bridge here? tylervigen.com/the-mystery-of…

@TylerVigen Thank you for this wonderful bit of journalism. I enjoyed it both because I’ve always wondered about that bridge and because you reference my friend Patricia Cavanaugh’s work. Pat and her husband John are missed terribly. Glad to see her work remains useful.

Navigating the ice-rutted alley right now is like some twisted riff on the old antique car ride at Valleyfair. #IYKYK

@oldenoughtosay My mother - a humanities professor in Arkansas- used a reproduction of the bayeux tapestry as a wallpaper border in her kitchen. She also delighted in pointing out certain … er … “features” of the tapestry. I believe the current owner of the house has kept the decoration.
