This is what I was trying to say yesterday, basically. http://www.theatlantic.com/technol... Except in 4000 words not 500 tweets.
RT @megangarber: At first it wasn't obvious that we'd light our cities with street lamps. For a while, we tried manmade moons: http://www.theatlantic.com/technol...
RT @EmilyMatchar: Grosser than eating snake soup for lunch is flossing your teeth 12 hrs later and realizing there are bits of snake in your molars. #hongkong
I kind of want to rebuild an RSS situation using only scholars' blogs.
Hmm. Just wrote a 3,000 word post in an hour about today's situation. Perhaps this is the sort of thing you sleep on.
TRUE STORY RT @zunguzungu: I pitched an article to the Atlantic, once, and @alexismadrigal punched me in the face and then stole my wallet.
Sparrow's response to the freelance flap. #catvine http://vine.co/v/bHgeX5mYmFV
Isn't there a monkey wearing a shearling jacket in an Ikea who we should all be talking about? (Oh yes, there he is: http://cdn.theatlanticwire.com/img...)
If you're a mag writer getting your start now, you're more likely to get a staff job, less likely to freelance. (Both paths still tough.)
Was reminded again that the Prelingers are a national treasure: @footage, @MeganPrelinger. #ff which in this case means follow forever.
RT @uugwuu: Deptford Goth, featured on my 2012 "50 Favorites" playlist, has a beautiful/evocative debut album streaming: http://pitchfork.com/advance... #np
An image of a guy you probably don't want reviewing your pop-neuroscience book: http://www.google.com/imgres...
RT @robotnik: "If I regret anything it is my pose of powerlessness... my belief that the war didn't deserve my hard thinking." http://www.theatlantic.com/politic...
Totally support this car buying strategy. https://twitter.com/alexism...
RT @shoshanaberger: Inspirational read on what it takes to make it as a non-white geek via @_danilo http://danilocampos.com
RT @geekstarter: Back @FiresideMag or you won't get to read a bunch of great stories this year. http://www.kickstarter.com/project.... 29 hours to go.
.@AnnaHolmes on @sherylsandberg. http://www.newyorker.com/online... Really, really good.
It seems like Medium is trying to develop new genres of (almost aphoristic?) posts, which is an interesting thing to try to do.
RT @TweetsofOld: A new fashion that is just beginning to grow in vogue is that of writing letters in pencil rather than with pen and ink. MO1895
Also, Mullis may be a little nuts otherwise.
Kary Mullis' Nobel Lecture is wonderfully bizarre and human: http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_p... (He came up with the concept of PCR.)
Just completed a 9.38 mi run with @RunKeeper. Check it out! http://runkeeper.com/user... #RunKeeper
Would you rather be Elvis or Keith Richards? (Full life! No choosing "Elvis during the Sun Records years")

This 22-22-22 thing seems fishy, except as a joke. The real numbers are 24-10-40.
I AM SO HAPPY TO BE HOME
This is worth tweeting/mocking, I think. RT @TheAtlanticWire: Bob Woodward is scared of polite e-mails http://www.theatlanticwire.com/politic...
My dad tells me the best stories.
