To me, twitter is a conversation. If I follow you, I'm talking to you when I tweet. I welcome any friendly response -- advice, suggestions, emojis, contradiction, constructive criticism, praise, self-disclosure, stories, tangential thoughts, expansions, memes, explanations, etc.

@ThirdWayMattB Came back to “x”just to respond to this: If you had any principles of association, you wouldn't be on this platform at all, Matt. We don't need to hear from centrists. Go invest six figures in fossil fuels and then donate $500 to the Sierra Club like the rest of your kind.

This is disgusting. You are a disgrace to the Democratic Party.

@BlackFlag21 @ScottTama4061 @NWS_BaltWash @BaltStreetNews It's a tweet, RW. The timing is different for Alexandria, Ocean City, Greenbelt, Timonium, and Frederick.

@ScottTama4061 @NWS_BaltWash @BaltStreetNews Why these alerts are not helpful. Zero timing just blanket statement. Poor

Low clouds and passing showers are expected this morning. As these stratus clouds erode & a strong cold front approaches from the west, strong to severe t'storms are expected. The more potent cells could produce 70-80 mph wind gusts & even a few tornadoes. #MDwx #VAwx #DCwx #WVwx

@anthonycabassa I very much appreciate that he's doing this in case ICE decides to gun them all down like the Boston Massacre, but that means even the avuncular Tim Walz thinks we're THIS CLOSE to actual, live-ammo, hot civil war.

HAPPENING NOW 🚨: MN National Guard members have arrived at the site of the federal building, and have been ordered to distribute donuts, coffee and hot chocolate to anti-ice protestors. They were given reflective vests so protestors don’t confuse them with federal agents.

@benedictthemad @TonyPannWBAL New driveway. Can't use salt.

@RunAGame @TonyPannWBAL May I suggest that you lay down some ice melt BEFORE the storm? It can give the melting process a head start. It won’t solve everything, but it can make things a little less difficult

Weekend Storm Update: It's not going to be pure snow for Baltimore. It's going to snow really hard (thumping) Sunday Morning, but it will likely change to sleet or freezing rain. Some of the modeling has over an inch of sleet! With the storm near the Mouth of the Bay by afternoon, pure snow accumulation around Baltimore will be from Midnight Saturday to Noon Sunday. The magic "540" line is up in PA by then. 👇 Some places N & W of Baltimore might get to a foot before the change. I think the Euro snow plot through 18z is close to what will happen. Stay tuned folks. This is complicated! 👇👇❄️🚂

@Grand_DM Little mini-games? Like how D&D/Pathfinder is three games - a roleplaying game, a tactical combat board game, and a solo strategic character build optimization game?

I enjoy rules-light games and I enjoy crunch. But size is a different axis. Some RPGs are big and still work because everything flows, instead of breaking into little mini-games with totally different rules. That pattern usually kills campaigns. What large systems stay in the same rhythm for you?

@kodie204 @RepClayHiggins SNAP actually supports the whole food system, including producers and grocers, helping them stay open in low-income areas. If SNAP stops, some grocery stores in those areas wouldn't be able to stay open, so the higher-income people in those areas would suffer, too.

@kodie204 @RepClayHiggins Food stamps have almost no waste or abuse. There is a little fraud and error, but it's manageable. However, there was a lot of waste, fraud, and abuse with the FSCC program -- that's why Nixon replaced it with food stamps. (Nixon! Talk about fraud and abuse!)

There are 22 million American households receiving SNAP benefits for groceries, at $4200 per year on average. Try to get your head wrapped around how many pantries you can stock with $4200 dollars in properly shopped groceries.   Any American who has been receiving $4200 dollars per year of free groceries and does NOT have at least 1 month of groceries stocked should never again receive SNAP, because wow, stop smoking crack.

@exec_sum Literally naming it after the symbol of a civilization's downfall due to the greed of the top 1%. Good one. Couldn't be more on the nose.

BREAKING: The US approves 'Erebor' bank founded by Palmer Luckey, co-founder of Anduril, and Joe Lonsdale, head of venture capital firm 8VC and a co-founder of Palantir Its early backers also include Peter Thiel’s venture firm Founders Fund and Haun Ventures

@LucasSa56947288 If ya don't like it, advocate for a national voting rights bill that requires every state to appoint an independent nonpartisan/bipartisan commission or use a particular algorithm to draw district lines.

Do you agree with Maryland Gov. Wes Moore that he’s considering redrawing maps, potentially eliminating the state’s only GOP seat? 🙋🏾‍♂️

@thiseffingm Kayfabe is a big part of the GM's role in any game with a GM, that's for sure.

We call this “the illusion of cruelty” and it’s a tool in the Game Master’s arsenal to create stakes and buy in from a meta perspective. Done right: it’s freaking great, players get really into the battle Done wrong: you look like an asshole 😭

@BeingJWood Often it goes from "scam cult" to "zealous cult" status when the leader dies. It tends to be even more dangerous as a cult without a con artist leader, because nobody in the inner circle knows who's a bloody-handed zealot and who's a cynical con artist. See: LDS, Scientology.

@BeingJWood You mean independently, not part of some grand suicide plan? They usually have a succession plan involving their inner circle. See, for instance, the apostles.

What generally happens in a cult when the cult leader dies?

"When this court issues a decision, it constitutes a precedent that commands respect in lower courts" Sir, with the least possible due respect, US Supreme Court decisions don't command respect in *food* courts anymore. cnn.com/2025/08/25/pol…

@1matrixghost 4e D&D was excellent at this. Most PbtA games put everything needed on playsheets and playbooks. You rarely ever open the book at the table except for prep inspiration or reviewing rules and guidance.

So which RPGs are the best at information design? Which book is the easiest to reference during a game?

DONNIE J. AND KaroLYIN’ LEAVITT WILL HAVE THEIR (LITTLE) HANDS “FULL” TODAY. WHOOPS. I, GAVIN CHRISTOPHER NEWSOM, AMERICA’S FAVORITE GOVERNOR (MANY SAY), WILL HOST THE GREATEST PRESS CONFERENCE OF ALL TIME. AFTER THAT — “THE MAPS” WILL SOON BE RELEASED. VERY MUCH ANTICIPATED. HISTORY MADE. THE GOP’S RIGGED GAME IS OVER!!!! THE PEOPLE RETAKE CONGRESS. YOU'RE WELCOME, AMERICA! LIBERATION DAY!!! THAT IS WHAT MANY ARE CALLING IT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. — GCN

@dieworkwear In most examples you give, men of the past wear their belt at or above the belly button, cinched. The men of the 2020s wear it below, hanging on the butt. That old belt style is unhealthy and uncomfortable, and it slides down synthetics. Hard to find high waisted men’s pants, too

The point of this thread is only to emphasize the role of shape, drape, and detailing in why people looked better in the past, which are ideas that can be carried forward to modern outfits.

Have you ever noticed that people dressed better in the past? Even in the summer, when it was scorching hot? Why is this? 🧵

This is not some minor issue. I need to switch providers if you don't have an easy fix for this ASAP. (Any password keeper company out there monitoring this tweet, feel free to DM me if you handle SaaS web portal subdomains seamlessly!)

Hey @LastPassHelp I've been unable to use LP to for PWs on NON-equivalent subdomains. Can LP track PWs for web-based SaaS providers? examplecompany.fluxx.io is a different site from differentexamplefoundation.fluxx.io for instance, but my PWs keep getting overwritten as they're both fluxx.
