Two writers w/differing views on free speech
Roxane Gay on Islamophobia: "The problem with freedom of speech is that people think it means freedom from consequence"
Roxane Gay on her psychotic friend losing a book deal: If a writer faces consequences, this is a free speech issue.

@EastshoreEmpire Just commenting in 2025 to say this still hasn't happened... hahaha

San Leandro, long spurned by Trader Joe's, is getting a solid consolation prize. Sprouts Farmers Market is expanding to downtown San Leandro at a former Longs/CVS on East 14th. ABC license applied for on July 20th.

@pescami Music or theater “scenes” have this vibe. Like you’re fully embedded in your own but you enter another one and it’s like an alternate dimension. Same vibes and drama, different names and places.

Remember the high school phenomenon of having friends at other high schools? That was fun and with no direct adult equivalent, unless you can think of one ?
English
@LadyDemosthenes @johnmccumber Agreed. Concerned about a few hundred teenage boys seeing her, so shared with millions of men online? Prob best to delete this.
English
So, I know THEY posted this photo, and I’m sure you didn’t see harm in sharing since you cropped her face, but I have questions about sharing it on a forum like twitter.
1: where was it posted originally?
2: are they public or private?
I get that she has left the house and now entered public clad thusly, but there is a difference in her/her parents sharing a photo and a relative posting it on a public platform specifically asking strangers to look at how she’s dressed.

Pray for our oldest son and his wife. She has decided to return to the workforce, against his wishes. Ironically, she is working for @HomeGoods instead of making her own home good. He is already feeling the blow to his headship🙏🏻

Imagine the funny shit this wife says about her husband to the man she’s having an affair with.

My wife and I removed the labels from all our canned foods. I created a secret code for all of them, so when she needs canned peaches for example, she can come ask me which one it is. This exercise has caused her trust and dependence on me to grow, by leaps and bounds 🙏🏻

@overeasysteezy This is the male version of scrapbook women. Too much money for supplies, and not an original bone in their body.

@overeasysteezy Three of mine were drunks who died young. The other one, who I actually knew, was an Operating Engineer and helped build the Golden Gate Bridge! He was Irish and… well, also a drunk. But I’m certain he’d be stoked that I get paid to sit at home and do spreadsheets.

This is such a brutal self own. Most people's grandparents are capable of seeing their grandchildren as valuable members of society.
Both of mine were covered in human/animal blood & I think would be v glad to know I earn a living without being drenched in biological waste.

I need you to be honest if you were to explain your day job to your great grandfather, would he think it really adds value to civilization? not "he wouldn't get it, it's important because...." he probably wasn't a dumb man, so don't do him dirty like that

@PatriciusAcutus Prob on the left. No idea why but that’s what I’d do.

Question for my X/Twitter followers:
If you are walking on the side walk, do you walk:
a.) on the left side
b.) on the right side
c.) on either side, it doesn’t matter
I’m trying to see if I’m just unaware of a social norm or if people in the PNW are just insane

Completely sincerely not everything has to be tainted by millennial self-loathing, some things can and should remain innocent.

@fordm @iansmadrig Does any other website have this issue? Wtf. Garbage site. Hahahha

@mattyglesias Killing the McDLT fixed the hole in the ozone layer.

@jbarro OK I saw this and completely understood once I read the comments stating that it's the day iCal launched. But then why is it also the sample date on the Lowe's kitchen planning app??? #ThisIsWeird

So my birthday is July 17, and I always assumed the calendar emoji 📅 displayed whatever the birthday is in your vCard. But apparently it’s July 17 for everyone?!

@omni_american @colorblindk1d This her business model. She’s doing this to sell her book and product.

I've been approached as an employee repeatedly, despite being a white man's white man.
A deep problem with our social justice discourse is that it trains us to interpret every interaction in the worst possible hyper-racialized light. It's anti-mental health, anti-social harmony.

@AlecMacGillis "Hey boss, we have the home addresses of all the people who break traffic laws and have unpaid tickets. Should we start putting boots on their cars? Or towing?"
"Nah, let's send a friendly text that they can opt out of instead."
English
Traffic fatalities are up 50% this year in DC, with 24 already killed. Enforcement of violators is down, with thousands of unpaid tickets.
Instead, DC govt is sending mailers and texts to high-risk drivers, urging them to slow down and stop at red lights.

@pescami Does anyone under 40 say “oh please!” Like that anymore? They’re both hilarious, great shirt!
English
My 2 sons got me the same shirt in 2 different years. I am not sure which is which (the shirts not my sons). So I will keep just one based on which best presents this hilarious joke. Please help me decide. Poll in next tweet…

@neo_antiquarian Yes! We said #TooHotForGenAdmin but in reality #TooOldAndFat. I’m still in a state of bliss. Now I need someone to do some detective work and tell me what on earth was Robert Smith doing in our lovely Bay Area for a full day off Sunday? Fisherman’s wharf? Beach Boardwalk? 😂
English
@EssArrBee That’s what i did! My husband kept checking the site over and over, sold our seats for better tickets at nearly the same price
English
@neo_antiquarian I posted this as a joke and then they played it! 😍 We had lawn seats but on the drive over we checked the site and ended up scoring way better ones for only $55ea. Last minute is apparently the way to go.
English
@EssArrBee I cried immediately when I recognized one hundred years
