@thomascannon.me The Manchurian Candidate, but for hyperfocusing on my workbench
@chaelcodes.bsky.social There’s a reason that the reaction to @lollibeepop.bsky.social’s work here is: “yea”
@thomascannon.me Thank you! I love getting your newsletter, I care deeply about the foundations of our language, and I know that wasn’t your intention in how you wrote it.
@thomascannon.me An all-timer. We’re at one of the last ones: “Molly O’Brien Must Suffer”

@thomascannon.me You’re the one always sayin’ the desert is beautiful 😂
@thomascannon.me Of course I’ve now got the idea to experiment with a new, esoteric version that evokes the feeling of using an old-school monitor 😅😅😅

Back in highschool, my favorite history professor was talking about Schindler’s List at the end of class, started sandbagging that it was a hard watch; then paused and said “…you should watch it because of that.”
@thomascannon.me I’ve heard a few people nudge against watching The Pitt when I’ve discussed it with them; and I think it falls into that category. It’s hard, it was a hard watch for me, for sure. But we’re at a point where we need to see the impacts on healthcare workers.
@thomascannon.me Even if you support, believe, endorse, etc etc etc; The Pitt is one of those shows that lays out the table stakes for society to function. We don’t know what we’ve got until we see what it takes to make it happen.
@thomascannon.me If you doubt, or don’t know, it’s a wake up call. If you know some, it galvanizes you. If you live it, it’s visibility & social commonality
