Наткнулся на это и прикинул, что последних сколько-то лет думаю примерно пополам на русском и английском (в случаях когда вообще задействуется внутренний голос) и замечаю, что оперирую совершенно разными наборами метафор в зависимости от языка

У меня то же самое с ивритом, который _ну совсем_ отличается от английского. Они как будто сидят в категории "иностранный язык" в голове, пока рядом отдыхают русский и беларуский.

Pre social media people used to make websites for Dougs to hang out with Dougs! Same for Shirlenes, Geoffreys, Susan Parkers... I dug up a bunch of them on the wayback machine (thread!!!)

Zoom interview: “Is there any animal you don’t like?”
me: “I’ve known some self-absorbed turtles and a couple defensive rainbow boas…but I still liked them”
him: “Can animals be jerks?”
me: “Hummingbirds are jerks”
him: “Want me to write that down?”
me: “Please don’t”

oh lol I sent my friend Protomartyr's EU tour dates, so he could pick a city and I'd fly there, as is tradition, and he replied that I'd already sent them before and he had already bought tickets to a show in Tillburg. and I have no recollection of it! amaze amaze, can't wait!

"We see here the pinnacle of human physicality on display in a entertainment ritual enjoyed by what many would call the common person. It is a strange mix of opera and martial arts performed by actors who double as body builders. While perplexing, it is an act of impressive skill and dedication."

@pfrazee.com what's the recommended way of submitting a feature request for a client? A github issue?

I'd donate generously for an option to not see self-reposts. I have a good memory and they drive me crazy, because I don't follow 1000+ accounts and read everything in the timeline

Know nothing about math, but I think this is a beautiful article www.scientificamerican.com/article/math...

Partly because of the alleged connection between energy levels in atoms and prime number distribution (the world is so majestic), but also there's a dude with famous Belarusian surname haha

Had a mixed success with my trip to Minsk to meet friends, but remembered about Haggard, and it rocks just as it did when I was a teenager. Eppur si muove is such a great record
