  1. “Keeping secrets made you powerful. Being powerful earned you respect. Respect was hard currency.”

  2. So it turns out that murdering a load of public sector workers and their families with trick pagers isn't an effective way to defeat Hezbollah #whoKnew

  3. 🚨 BREAKING: #Grammarly, the digital red pen, is apparently moonlighting as the identity thief none of us wanted. 😱 Yet, we're still surprised when the service that reads our every typo steals more than just our misplaced commas. 😂 #WhoKnew

  4. Today it all started. Yesterday was an unexpected triumph but today I begin to transition into something else, pill by pill, then injection by injection 🤷
    Modern medicine may help but I'm utterly stunned by the latest technology that takes a photo that shows me now then after the first 28 days of treatment.

  5. “He knew he had hidden depths. There was nothing in them that he'd like to see float to the surface.”

  6. Cornelius_3401 asked: "Gosh, who could have guessed that armed, masked paramilitary thugs killing and abducting innocent people would not be a winner with a majority of Americans?"

  7. For all the nonsense I have experienced in the Dallas/Fort Worth area this week (traveling for work), their donut game is tight, at least in northern Fort Worth. There are 5 local places within a few minutes of the hotel. #donuts #texas #whoknew #buylocal

  8. A 5 minute rainfall did not help the humidity in northern Illinois as the sun comes out blazing. #whoknew #ilwx

  9. Prof. Francois Balloux: "Israel is becoming extremely unpopular in the West, especially among young people. Desperate measures by authorities to oppose this trend, such as cancelling musicians and listing Palestine Action as a terrorist organization, won't convince people to like Israel more." #GenocideIsUnpopular #WhoKnew?

    I know there are others, but didn't know about this one.

    Good jumping off place for a story or movie. Thanks
    Chrono History Game!

  11. Another absolute belter of an evening in Eastern Europe. #WhoKnew ?

  12. Today, I received a phone book with my mail. A hard copy. Yellow pages and all.

    I wasn't even aware that was still a thing.

  13. Having finished DS9 a few weeks ago, I decided to start watching Enterprise.
    I didn’t really watch it when it aired & wasn’t impressed with the bits I’d seen since.

    I’ve just finished season 1 and…
    it’s actually quite good

  14. Back in the 90s, I did some web development on a hot new framework called Cold Fusion — or CFML — first published in 1995 and later acquired by Macromedia and then Adobe. TIL that services like SSRN.com are still using CFML and the most recent release was in 2023! #WhoKnew

  15. Watching "Shucked," a fun musical about corn.

    🤷‍♂️

  16. Holy Sh*t! Gothmas is already a thing.

    I hashtagged a toot #Gothmas. And clicked it.

    Gothmas is already a thing!

    Awesome.

    Uh, I mean gloomy.

  17. Supreme Court justice Ketanji Brown Jackson on NPR’s “Wait! Wait! Don’t Tell Me!” This is pretty badass. She was in a college production of “Little Shop Of Horrors” with Mo Rocca.

  18. #WhoKnew - not that #dogs, #sledDogs, helped to #explore #Antarctica. That's not really a surprise. But that they were #bred down there for many years - and then #culled #killed, not #retired and #caredFor as they deserved - when their use was deemed over 😡.

    Yes, cute profiles. Hope the cards all get digitized if they haven't been yet. These dogs deserve a #searchableDatabase. And were samples taken from any of them for #DNAtesting later when it was available? Would be fun to see where, if anywhere, their #descendants ended up. #dogDNA #dogGenealogy

    They at least deserve a feature-length #documentary/ other #movie. The only one I've found so far was a fictionalized one about a group of abandoned #Japanese sled dogs there , #EightBelow
