Sea Otter 841 deserves a name. She’s not a number. No living thing is just a number. Better nothing than a number. I admire her sassyness. We’re invading her (shared) domain! Oh, and yes I’m a fan of @ThePrisonerUK - kqed.org/arts/13958776/santa…?

What a wonderful performance by Afghanistan @ACBofficials against New Zealand @newzealandcrick at the @T20WorldCup. This is exciting!

I'm really curious. Do limited overs cricket teams have a designated bowler who practices bowling super overs, the way footballers practice penalties? Yes it's 6 balls, but the pressure is just different! @T20WorldCup #USAvsPakistan

Great to see @usacricket playing so well against @pakistan - great for the game. From a side, the USA team that is, that contested the first international game of cricket ever! Is #CricketComingHome, so to speak? Tense!

Wow! Margins are small in the shortest international format! Amazing, and well deserved result against a very good team.

To everyone suffering from the #iLok out[r]age. If you have USB iLoks then you can run locally *if* you disconnect your network. You may need to reboot. Works for me. I had PT, Logic, and LUNA all hanging. This should be a simple timeout @iLokSupport!

TBH I'm also a bit gobsmacked that search for "at" iLok didn't provide "@iLokSupport" as a possible match, so that we can channel our feedback to iLok, rather than the unfortunate individual with said handle.

Adding other posters I've seen just in case this helps @timwynn_, @audiogibbs, @TubeandBerger, @surjazz_ #iLokDown, #iLokOutage #iLok

Meant to be read in the voice of one of the letter readers from the BBC TV series “Points of View” (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Points…), hosted by Barry Took (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_…), where BBC viewers’ feedback was shared by the BBC with its audience.

Why, dear @BBC, have you mutilated an excellent documentary and turned it into the worst form of televisual experience - a bland, impersonal and emotionless, exposition of facts.

It might as well be a podcast! Ufff! Why? Yours sincerely Disappointed of California, USA #AncientWorlds, #WhyOhWhyOhWhy @BBC @BBCSelect @PVCEEE1

That is very insightful and a very nice distillation! Thanks for sharing. Now to hunt down a first follower... #1, where are you?
My all time favourite video on leadership - youtube.com/watch?v=fW8amMCV… - none comes close.

RIP Niklaus Wirth (2 of 3) As a community I sometimes worry we that we accept unnecessarily complicated design and impenetrable code too easily. Either because we're in a hurry, or it makes us feel good.

RIP Niklaus Wirth (3 of 3) But it's not so much fun for those that have to maintain or evolve what we build. Thank you Niklaus Wirth for continually striving for #SimplerSoftware and less #TechnicalDebt

RIP Niklaus Wirth (1 of 3)- Pascal was the first language I used as a professional software engineer, and I used it, and then Modula-2, in a number of projects early in my career. I continue to appreciate their simplicity. There's a nice obit here bit.ly/3ROVvbv.
