And the man says, "But Doctor, don't you remember me from that summer in your childhood? I am Pennywise the clown."

And the doctor notices the spindly legs unfurling, and starts to scream...

I should probably explain that hashtag, #foak. Back in the Usenet days (I know, I’m old), we used “FOAK” in subject lines to designate a fact-based question we were looking for an answer to. The idea was that Usenet contained so many knowledgeable people that we were collectively the Font Of All Knowledge.

I’d love it if that caught on as a hashtag here; I’d really enjoy following the tag and seeing if I could answer any of the questions.

Oh, let’s not forget:

“Mom’s spaghetti is strong in this one.”

“The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of Mom’s spaghetti.”

My brilliant idea to improve the world of the night: Let’s all agree to stop saying “declare war” and “wage war” and so on, and instead say “commit war”. Let’s talk about it like the crime against humanity that it is.

(Yes, I’ve been rereading “Jingo”. Can you tell?)

I checked the NYC hashtag on my other account to confirm my decision to mute Switter, and wow, was I right. It's nothing but ads in there now.

I wonder if we need to create another hashtag to actually talk about NYC local issues? #nyclocal maybe?

The most amazing thing happened to me during my commute home last night. I was on a super-crowded subway, to the point where not everybody could fit in, and the conductor *didn't* lie and say there was another train directly behind!

I wonder if the new train time screens are making that lie too transparent for them to get away with?

My local IT team and enterprise-level IT team are giving me completely opposite instructions, and both sides are insisting they are right. Local's instructions got me locked out of my computer for a while, so next time I'll try enterprise's instructions, but sheesh, they need to get their act together.

Is it really that 7% of Americans think that chocolate milk comes from brown cows? Or do 7% of Americans like to troll researchers?

To satisfy the pedants who can't help pointing out that "I could care less" is incorrect, I'm going to switch to "I could care fewer".
