I was into politics twitter for so long. Took a long break. Now I still want to know what’s going on, but I want more puppy, music, art, and nature content. Social media breaks are good.

@BGatesIsaPyscho lol at there being a camera focused on this exact plane Also see community note.

Nothing to see here, just a leaked Government clip of 3 UFO’s making Malaysian Flight A370 disappear entirely. Yes this is real.

@RizomaSchool @Empty_America The best thing they can do is keep their hobby BUT set a reasonable time limit. 30-60 minutes daily anyone can do whatever embarrassing hobby they want. But join the mainstream for the rest of your day.

@Empty_America Yeah these nerds are going to learn it one way or another. Whether you tweet about it or not. Very unattractive the extended adolescence stuff. Very unmanly. And not just in a "let people like what they like" way. How can these men be role models for their sons and daughters?

This is one of those posts were the response proves the point. 1.3 million views, many likes. Also furious comments from guys who don't "get it." Don't get that playing with toys as a 28 year old childless man is *distressingly* unattractive. And will have consequences.

@DKThomp I’m simply imagining Cheetos and Zebra Cakes as contraband that only the elite can get their hands on.

Ok what if we .. 1. Take this ban-what-makes-us-sick vibe 2. Replace “ban” with “rigorously study the effects of … and possibly transition away from” 3. Apply it to fossil fuels

@TrevonDLogan @SalKrinkle @brianrdhamm Randomization past 2011 is irrelevant, too, because they are currently 13 years old. I’m agreeing with your whole thread; to be clear.

@SalKrinkle @brianrdhamm Ended in 2011

The first 3 digits of your SSN are a regional code. So if you do *anything* with the first number of an SSN you are not doing anything "stochastic," you're picking people by where they were born. These people have no idea how SSN works, they're just talking nonsense.

Etsy cracks me up. They sent an email advertising Christmas Eve boxes. “Fill it with goodies.” What do you think I am doing THE NeXT MORniNG. Stockings+being literal Santa+gifts from me+gifts from and for each other+teacher’s gifts+special treats all season. Another thing?!?!

@emilykmay My 15 year old self would be like “you’re living the dream!” But also … “why do your eyes look SO tired?”

she'd be horrified but i would gently tell her that we are ok!!!!!!

@Ronxyz00 …you need a team lead who is directly working with the highest officials. You need 3 that work opposite hours so the desk is almost always manned. And each of the 3 has connection to different agencies so you are getting viewpoints/feedback/requests to + from major institutions.

@Ronxyz00 I hope he’s joking. A 4-member *essential* team could be cut down to 1. (Or depending on their numbers, cut down completely). He should be looking at their functions. To have 1 person manning that function is insane. The reason for 4 …

On excess government spending, how about we total up the secret service bill for all the stays / long-term housing at Trump properties.

@UpTambourine Warning: my boys think that means pooping out of your butt because to them there would be no other way. Ha ha.

7yro: is there a hatch in your belly that the baby comes out of? Me: Alright I'm gunna tell you the truth, okay? The baby comes out of mom's privates. 7yro: 🤢 Are you serious? Me: Yes. God gave ladies a special organ that holds the baby and 7yro: So like a shark? Me: Yes

@solson30 @amyklobuchar Multitasking is a new concept. Tackling health and border issues simultaneously…is possible. I don’t know how else to put this.

@amyklobuchar Close the border.

Diabetes is one of the most prevalent diseases in our country and it can have serious consequences. That’s why I’m joining with colleagues on both sides of the aisle to push for the renewal of the Special Diabetes Program so we can invest in prevention, treatment and cures.

@Ademola101_ @visakanv Agree. And his comic timing has a tempo. He didn’t sit down and plan for each joke to hit at 20s, or if he did it’s because that’s his natural manner.

@visakanv I think it is slightly unfair to John Oliver who has explained that he is not a journalist or political commentator or an educator. He is a comedian. The topics are merely a tool for the comedy. So, no surprise that he doesn't dwell on facts but sticks to jokes.

collection of 4chan posts that are extended criticisms or analyses of something, hit me up with whatever comes to mind 1. john oliver

@Chuckisdope Octopi

They just admitted the actual Aliens are really here. IN THE MF OCEAN Fym ?!??? Like come the fuck on.

@DougWahl1 Uhhh there are other rules that would have prevented recess appointments too.

BREAKING- Senate leader John Thune said today that there are not enough votes to pass a recess, which would have allowed Trump's appointments to take their post without a hearing. So Gaetz, and the others will have to go in front of committees and be grilled. Your thoughts?

@memeticsisyphus Then they dropped the restriction. I think during my third kid’s 0-2 age range. Listen, he had already watched because older siblings were addicted to Disney channel, PBS, and movies. But him being under 2, I didn’t hand him my phone. It was better for him to wait.

@memeticsisyphus The worst thing to happen was saying kids under 2 can have screens. It *used* be a thing. Zero screens under 2. I tried, and started at 18 months with 1 Daniel Tiger per day. For some, I was sooo late to the game. For others, I was doing damage by allowing it.

@AlanLevinovitz I agree with you. There are plenty of people are living into their late 70s, their 80s, their 90s. They’ve certainly been living on our 1990s+ diet for 30 years. My own mom was affected by food, but it was her choice. You’d have to ban soda and sweets to alter her health path.

There's been a LOT about why RFK Jr is a terrible pick, but I want to focus on something that is very concerning to me, but no one seems to be mentioning. He appeals to a widespread, common-sense idea that the problem with our food is that it has "lots of artificial ingredients". Get the artificial ingredients out — no chemical additives! no food dyes! no high fructose corn syrup! — and our health problems magically resolve. This is 100% incorrect, and fundamentally misunderstands the problems with our food system.

My husband was an employee on an NIH study for summer work in between vet school semesters. $3-4K pay was helpful to us. I don’t know what the study learned about fish, but it’s a drop in the bucket and goes to people who are working contributors to science / public health.

@AlanMCole The actual study about hamsters was more fruitful.

@AlanMCole I thought Rand Paul’s recent post about government waste in spending was funny. Because someone in his office was told to make a social media post with a photoshop of hamsters boxing, and they’re paid to do that.

Very funny to hire literally the world’s most highly compensated individual to essentially make a Tom Coburn intern blog post from 2005.
