- 00:07:20: Is 2001 scifi stripped of all action-adventure, heroic fantasy, and fairy-tale elements?
- 00:50:10: I'm looking for a word for the ability to recognize non-obvious similarities.
- 00:55:10: RT @LaunchpadBB: "Jon Hamm looks the way every Republican THINKS they look" -- Seth Meyers
- 09:18:46: Which insult is worse, douchebag or douchenozzle? Seems like the nozzle has more fun than the bag.
- 09:20:16: RT @Giania: So it's may day, where are all the naked parties at? probably not by a computer or phone
- 09:20:58: @ batsly Is that like a juicebox?
- 11:52:36: RT @robdelaney: A neck tattoo used to say "Watch out, motherfucker." Now it says "I'd love to read you a poem about my vegan bicycle!"
- 11:53:21: RT @robdelaney: Don't cry over spilled milk. Unless it's narwhal milk. That stuff's really hard to replace.
- 15:04:45: @ introvertedwife Ke$ha.
- 18:05:08: I saw many doggies today.
- 18:10:14: @ Lavender_lady Oh yeah.
- 18:15:12: Thoughts on 2001, science fiction, and allegory. http://post.ly/1yf9h
- 18:22:08: @ Kouban I definitely think they intentionally downplay the particularity of the humans. No smalltalk, no backstories or character arcs.
- 18:26:55: I think part of the reason music plays such a big role in parts of 2001 is to highlight the silences in other parts.
- 18:32:34: Apparently it doesn't have to be a man for it to be "manslaughter." #themoreyouknow
- 18:34:15: @ Kouban I can totally see why it's not the movie for a lot of people, but I feel like its "flaws" are all highly intentional.
- 18:35:15: RT @pooralmanack: Aliens on an asteroid landed on top of bin Laden.
- 18:37:59: @ Kouban For much of the time, it's more like a REALLY long music video than like a movie. and it feels kind of like s few different movies.
- 18:38:33: RT @heliumcell: Is he finally announcing the institution of Sharia law in the US? FINALLY! #ObamaAnnouncement
- 18:43:43: @ Kouban For most of my viewing last night, I wasn't sure if it really fit together. By the end, it made sense in a way I can't explain.
- 18:45:26: @ Kouban I love the central thesis, which to me is that first contact with extraterrestrials would be weirder than anything from other SF.
- 18:46:50: @ Kouban I have a well-documented problem with anthropomorphic ETs. I like Lem's Solaris for some of the same reasons.
- 18:47:37: @ Kouban I never saw/read that. I don't do a lot of SF.
- 18:56:04: Someone should check to make sure that neither of Mariah's babies is the reincarnation of Bin Laden.
- 18:59:15: @ Kouban The monolith is central to 2001, whereas most people don't even notice it in The Godfather and Tootsie.
- 19:05:30: RT @pattonoswalt: Oh shit -- AP reporting Bin Laden has regenerated as Tom Baker.
- 21:13:02: ""Duncan! Your dad's a dick!" #shitmywifesays

- 21:33:49: RT @morgan_murphy: Tonight, twitter collectively discovered the opposite of "too soon." Amen.
- 21:51:54: I uploaded a @ YouTube video http://youtu.be/cj1Of8yTfYQ?a May Day at the Portland Saturday Market
- 22:01:37: RT @polysorbate: You need to be really careful when kids find out about gin. They already love juice.
