@petemuntean Lol, what kind of idiot waits in line with everyone else instead of mentioning their key role in investigating the accident that shut down the airport?!

Wow. NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy says the agency had to "beg" to get a key LaGuardia crash investigator (a specialist on air traffic control) through TSA in Houston after she had been waiting in line for THREE HOURS.

@mariolopezviva Smaller dogs tend to live longer. Bigger dogs tend to sleep on the floor. Just sayin’

I think my dogs wrote this post…

@AmyMcGrathKY So all Democrats are radical left

Labeling every American of the opposition political party as an enemy to the country may be the most un-American thing any president has ever said. Dangerous.

@FiacaCat @naosejarude @AngelaH171717 @grok @EphTheGenius @Yoda4ever "I don’t usually eat the other two" translation: you still do

Seven dogs stolen from their owners have gone viral after escaping from an illegal transport truck and making their way home. They traveled around 17 km together, led by a corgi across highways and fields, now safely back with their respective owners..🐶🐾🥺❤️

@Toronto_Trading @naosejarude @AngelaH171717 @grok @EphTheGenius @Yoda4ever How about if we DON’T eat things based on IQ?

@FiacaCat @naosejarude @AngelaH171717 @grok @EphTheGenius @Yoda4ever Pigs are considered very intelligent. If we ate creatures based on IQ then we could justify cannibalism

@naosejarude @AngelaH171717 @grok @EphTheGenius @Yoda4ever Again, I don’t eat pigs.

@naosejarude @AngelaH171717 @grok @EphTheGenius @Yoda4ever Dogs and cats have the intelligence of a human toddler. Chickens can be hypnotized by drawing a line with your finger. I don’t usually eat the other two

@AngelaH171717 @grok @EphTheGenius @Yoda4ever Unless you are vegan, you eat cows, pigs and chicken

@coopercooperco Good idea. Start waiting now for a flight you may book

Don’t have any flights but I’m at LGA right now waiting in the TSA line just cause I wanted to catch the vibe

@MrsButters How is this different from a white supremacist denigrating another ethnicity?

Why do we let men...

@zackpeter What if their whole body isn’t fat, but mostly just their ass? 🤔

For the love of God, please never call me this 😭

@Mlu__N2 Was she dating Neanderthals?

No listening to anyone chewing or coughing..... I can take a nap and not feel guilty.

@Milajoy liberal =\= progressive

She was an ALL IN liberal Democrat. Just listen to her.

@Tdm60596Thomas Filling aquifers with glacial melt is fine (ignoring the huge logistical challenges). My point was that you cannot generate a power surplus by hauling water for hydropower. Anyway, have a nice day

@FiacaCat water tankers can be solar powered Roman aqueducts used gravity collection of glacial melt water before it enters ocean best offset to global warming truth is global aquifers are exhausted we become stewards of water face mass extinction event

@Tdm60596Thomas How does burning more fossil fuels to move water around help fight rising sea levels?

@FiacaCat good luck spending to fight rising sea levels

@Tdm60596Thomas The largest government expenditures are Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, much of which is probably fraud. But I ask again, if taxes make the economy better, why not tax everyone 100%?

@FiacaCat healthy economy comes from reducing debt. Trillions of military debt has not made us safer.

Instead of proposing millionaire tax - that will never pass. Upton Sinclair presented an idea during depression that is worth considering. A sales tax on stock sales ! This could be on sales of $2 million or more, so only high end traffic is effected. With revenue only to reduce national debt we all get healthier economy! Share if agree

@DalrympleWill @NJ_Timothy Whites were less than 15% of the population of South Africa during apartheid. Maybe you don’t need a majority to dominate?

Muslims make up just 6% of the population of Britain. Conspiracy theories currently being aired by right wing bigots that they are secretly plotting the Islamic domination of Britain are the 21st century Islamophobes' equivalent of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and just as idiotic.

Too many are too polite to say this. But mass ritual prayer in public places is an act of domination. The adhan - which declares there is no god but allah and Muhammad is his messenger - is, when called in a public place, a declaration of domination. Perform these rituals in mosques if you wish. But they are not welcome in our public places and shared institutions. And given their explicit repudiation of Christianity they certainly do not belong in our churches and cathedrals. I am not suggesting everybody at Trafalgar Square last night is an Islamist. But the domination of public places is straight from the Islamist playbook. Trafalgar Square belongs to all of us. It is a national memorial to our independence and our salvation. Last night was not like a televised football match or a St Patrick’s Day celebration. It was an act of domination and therefore division. It shouldn’t happen again.

@Tdm60596Thomas Lol, “areas of global drought” Hey guys, we could truck water upstream to create hydropower!

The simplest way to negate this human stampede, and turn liability into asset? Capture Greenlands meltwater and ship to areas of global drought. Use refill depleted aquifers, create massive amounts of hydropower. Desalination plants become targets, and ai plants require massive power & cooling. share if agree & follow

@bgcts @scratchyjohnson Super cool! The image should go in many New England museums too

This morning @scratchyjohnson tweeted an important factoid. Squanto, the Indian who spoke English and helped the pilgrims survive, was sold by John Smith to a Spaniards and the deed exists in the city we're in for Excursion. Rather than rolling our eyes, Alan, Gavin & I went to the state archives in Málaga to see if we can find said recorded deed of 20 Indians sold by John Smith to Juan Bautista Reales. We get to the Archives (see Alan's picture below), and a small genial white lab coat wearing gentleman who speaks no English says this is impossible to find. His new boss, the head archivist, Carmen, comes in and says it certainly exists but may be difficult to find. If you only had the year. We tell her it was 1614. She pulls up a list of the books from 29 notaries whose work they have from 1614. She asks who the notary was. We have no idea. They say they can't go through 29 archives to look for it. Also it's all in old Spanish which nobody speaks and it'll be hard to locate even if they know the Notary. So Alan and Gavin get to work. Gavin finds an article in the internet archive that seems to have a partial picture of the document. Carmen and the other archivist decipher the name after 15 min. They find that name in their cross reference. Carmen goes to the vault to look while the lab coat gentleman asks for my life history, driver's licence number and a lien on my grandchildren. Totally worth it. Carmen comes back to say she found the volume. It is tremendously delicate. Opening it may break some pages. Does it have to be today because if so the answer will be no. We ask her if this is interesting to them. Both very seriously nod their heads. We tell them this is very important to the United States and many of our friends. Carmen tells us she will find it but that it takes time. White linen gloves and patience. We tell her to take her time. She says she will take a picture and email it to me. So here's why all this is important: after Squanto was sold by an Englishman to a Spaniard names Reales, said Spaniard brought Squanto and 19 other "inios" to Málaga. He recorded the deed in the state archives. Then a Franciscan priest ransomed Squanto. Squanto became Catholic. Was baptized and confirmed in Málaga. He then made his way to England where he worked and learned English. He paid his passage back across the ocean and found his Wampanoag tribesmen. Then when the Pilgrims landed they found a Catholic English-speaking native who helped them survive their first winter. It is entirely possible that but for a Franciscan priest who ransomed Squanto, the Pilgrims may not have survived their first winter in New England. That's history. American history. And the record of it is in Málaga. In a book. One of 29 books kept by notaries in Málaga in 1614. That are still searchable. This image, when it comes, belongs in the US National Archive. This is Cultural Debris. x.com/i/status/20349… cc: @alancornett @gwbled @Gonnassaurius_ @wrathofgnon
