I asked Grok to improve my photo and it took a chunk out of my dress and gave me abs.

@AuthorGFAllen I love my library card. I also like HH Richarson's library in Woburn, MA. I need to get my card there.

I have never done anything as shameful as the Charlie Kirk prom trend—and I was a heroin addict.

The Bible says we will be judged by the company we keep and I wonder if this includes artists and writers of the art/media we consume. Can I enjoy a movie made by a pedo? Or does his evil taint their work irrevocably?

@AndrewYang But maybe it's a sign that something is wrong with the airline "industry".

@glukianoff I'm with you. But at the same time, I know the strategy of disrupting someone's life with lawfare. over and over again. I hate it all. But this is where we are.

In 1966, Robert Watts said if he were forced to carry a rifle, the first man he’d want “in his sights” was LBJ. The Supreme Court said that was political hyperbole, not a true threat. Now imagine if Watts had written it in seashells.

@BlanchardPhD I never knew my teachers' political persuasions growing up. Because that is the right way to teach. Doing otherwise taints the minds of the children. A lot is wrong in modern teaching.

When I was in grammar school and high school, it was extremely rare for any teacher to make any reference to their personal lives. The only clue to teachers’ lives outside the classroom were the honorifics “Miss” and “Mrs,” which told you whether the teacher was married, and of course there were no such clues for male teachers. With one possible exception, I don’t recall any professor or lecturer ever talking about their personal lives, their political beliefs, their sexual orientation, or anything other than the course topic during the four years that I was in college (University of Pennsylvania, 1963-1967). (The one exception was a sociology course taught by a lecturer, who made repeated references to being from Walnut Creek, CA – references that meant nothing to me since I had never heard of Walnut Creek.) When I read online about the things that teachers at all levels now “share” with their students, I am reminded of the truth of the line, “The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.”

@ZubyMusic A Millionare tax is Awesome! But, then, how about people making more than 900K? Yes! 800K? Yes! We don't have to ask the people for a vote, because we've already passed a referendum. So do you make more than $1 a year? Awesome.

@mcuban Per my previous comment: I'm not saying it's unjustified. But perverse financial incentives rule the day. I have no need for my father's inheritance: I'm doing just fine on my own, because of everything he taught me. But to see him bled like this, annoys the fuck out of me.

@ElChandler My dad has always shamed me as the morning person he is. I am not. I once worked a job where I got up at 5am, M-F, and did everything asked of me. Then, I slept until noon on Saturday. And 10am on Sunday. Now, I make my own schedule. So it's 7am: everyday. No complaining.
