@delay_peggy @MYoung419 @ifudontlike2bad I own several *of his* CDs. There. Fixed the first sentence. Sigh.

@delay_peggy @MYoung419 @ifudontlike2bad And there's the reason why. I own several CDs. I love(d) his music. I don't play it anymore, and when it shows up on the blues channel on Sirius, I switch channels. I wonder how many people died because of listening to him?

So we know that RFK JR had posted on his official fundraiser page & his Twitter/X that several celebrities were going to be attending his fundraiser/birthday dinner. Fast-forward, these celebrities all said nope, never heard of it, not happening. This prompted me to dig...🧵 ⬇️

@kicked_got @ifudontlike2bad @ColleenHolt20 I'd bet that Guy Fieri would not be an RFK endorser.

@StrikeNerves3x @RpsAgainstTrump Rightfully, no one, NO ONE!, should qualify for a lifetime pension and medical care based on 4 years of work. Unless they served in the military and were injured in that 4 years to the extent that they really needed that pension and care. BJs don't qualify.

@RpsAgainstTrump She's desperate to stay in congress. No re-election no pension.

Colorado Republican Party chairman Dave Williams on Lauren Boebert's decision to ditch the 3 districts and instead run in the more conservative 4 district: "From a party perspective, we certainly don’t think it was the best move...I think she’s got a serious challenge on her hands, trying to explain to the voters of CD 4 why she thought it was necessary to leave CD 3 and have a better chance at keeping her seat in Congress. It’s kind of a problematic proposition, but again, it’s something for the voters to decide."

@gatorgrad1951 @RideTrainz @eisingerj I always believed Anita Hill.

NEW: In 2000, Clarence Thomas was deep in debt. He met w/ a GOP Congressman & complained about his salary. The GOP started to fear he’d leave the court. In the years that followed, billionaires lavished him w/ secret gifts. propublica.org/article/claren…

@natsechobbyist Anyone else notice her resemblance to Melania?

@Kap02226297Alan @WeHearPodcast @BertaMassaro To clarify- @Kap02226297Alan is wrong. Original tweeter is correct.

@Kap02226297Alan @WeHearPodcast @BertaMassaro Absolutely true. When my parents married my dad had a terrible credit rating. When he died in 1973 “he” had an A+ credit rating. It is only that the bankers where they’d banked for years knew who really managed the $ that allowed my mother to be able to have limited credit.

@RadicalLabGeek @AmyGDalaMD This. This is the answer.

To my fellow Gen Xers, You have *got to* stop double-spacing after a period. It makes you look antiquated, and not in an old Nirvana t-shirt kind of way.

@roomof13doors @ambirc723 @CalltoActivism A friend told me that in 5th grade Sex Ed is when she figured out what a relative was doing to her. She fought back, & it stopped. But God forbid kids learn about identifying the sexual assault they are experiencing. The relative was a conservative Christian male. No surprise

JUST NOW: Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias SILENCES Lindsey Graham during a hearing on Republican book banning: He says it PERFECTLY. 👇 “Don’t let one parent who disagrees with a certain world view determine whether a book should be in a library. That goes against the very point of our Democracy, (it hinders) the means to educate our youth, and to allow them to think for themselves.” Illinois is the first state to enact a law that requires state libraries uphold a pledge not to ban material because of partisan disapproval. Smash that heart if you agree books should be READ and not BANNED! 💙

Perhaps it's time for UNC to raise the pay of the custodians who not only clean the school, but also act as additional security presence on campus.

@RonDeSantis = bleeding all the $ from the public system so wealthy investors can make even more $. You suck.

In Florida, we are the nation's #1 leader in school choice. I am ready to bring universal school choice NATIONWIDE to ensure that parental rights are protected across our country. Do you agree with my plan? Respond today.

@brinkofsanity3 @hd433 @fuckyouiquit For every wealthy person over 65 that I know who is still working (1) I know 15 more that are still working because they can’t pay their bills while living in section 8 housing without their jobs. All those old people offering you samples at Costco? Too poor not to work.

@hd433 @fuckyouiquit You really think these boomers working in their 70’s and 80’s haven’t had everything paid off for decades?

Stagnant wages, highest healthcare costs, runaway greenhouse effect, micro-plastics in every orifice, micromanagers in every office…

@tessaprn @Oilman42usLaw @kaitlancollins LBJ was manipulative, devious, racist, but his war on poverty was real and only someone like him could get force the Dixiecrats to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Flawed individual with immense positive results for our nation, at least on the home front.

@Oilman42usLaw @kaitlancollins LBJ was manipulative & devious. Vietnam conflict cost around 58,000 troops. 30,000 was under LBJ who put the US in the conflict. LBJ pulled a lot of his own $hit. LBJ gave us welfare. I do agree LBJ most likely would do as you suggest.

Biden was convinced by the head of Space Command, who argued moving his headquarters now would jeopardize military readiness. Dickinson’s view was in contrast to Air Force leadership, who studied the issue at length & determined relocating was right move. apnews.com/article/space-…

@liberty1st_LPMC @hmbnicholson @J_MeD_ @limard6 @sandibachom @SarahKSilverman @CoreBears The question you should be asking is Why is it so hard to do a quick Firefox search to find that Sarah Silverman was born and grew up in New Hampshire?

@hmbnicholson @J_MeD_ @limard6 @sandibachom @SarahKSilverman @CoreBears Why are you as a Canadian speaking on American issues? Go back to playing black face with your pm

The numbers he sites are incorrect, so why such specific numbers? I’m at once struck by “there’s no way he would purposely do this!” and “what are the chances this is a coincidence?” Aside from that, I’m thoroughly turned off by politicians who constantly talk about how everything is unfair for them. (Sound familiar?) it’s a pathology.

@simulflow @brianm629 @Stonekettle I cam here to say this. Thank you for saying it so much earlier in the day.

Our account has lost over 19,000 followers in the last six months. It's difficult to find a reason of such a trend. That's why we keep asking for your engagement and support. You all help us to remember.

@TheBloggess Literally, your mask helped protect him from a nasty upper respiratory infection that was likely airborne. You're nicer than he is.

Update: no cholera. Nasty upper respiratory infection. Prescription: Tea, sleep, apply warm cats as needed.

A rando man just called me out for wearing a mask AS WE BOTH ENTERED A HOSPITAL. I was like, “Even if you’ve already been exposed to flesh-eating cholera doesn’t mean it’s fair for me to expose everyone else here.”

@IndictTheReich @CalltoActivism I had a study Bible on the shelves in my classroom, because I taught the first 1/2 of World History including the religions of those civilizations. 6th-7th studied Mesopotamian, Greek & Roman gods, Egyptian, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taosim, Christianity, and Islam.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: The Bible has been removed from all elementary and middle school libraries throughout the Davis School District in Utah after a parent utilized a new law that permits the removal of "pornographic" books from school libraries. The removal of the Bible was requested due to it being "one of the most sex-ridden books around." The Utah Legislature in 2022 approved a contentious bill HB374, which lawmakers have described as a way to weed out content found to be pornographic from K-12 libraries and classrooms. Utah Parents United, a conservative parents rights lobbied strongly for the passing of HB374. The parent argued that the Bible contained topics such as incest, bestiality, genital mutilation, and infanticide, making it pornographic under the new definition set forth in Utah Code Ann. § 76-10-1227. A GOP lawmaker expressed sadness regarding the situation.

@cosmops2 @kuncoro @Binaayakkk @fermatslibrary In Algebra 1 I did the same thing as that student. There were a few snickers. Lawrence Kaber, the teacher, ripped those laughing, called me brave for asking, and took the time to answer my question. He was an outstanding teacher, and I've loved math ever since.

In 1932, Paul Dirac, a symbol of genius and mathematical prowess, was appointed the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, England. During a particular lecture, an unexpected occurrence left a deep imprint on the collective student memory. A student, puzzling over an equation displayed on the blackboard, expressed his confusion: "I don't understand the equation in the top-right-hand corner". Dirac, consumed by his mathematical exposition, simply nodded his head in agreement, and without breaking his stride, continued his lecture. When the student's confusion persisted and the issue was raised again, Dirac responded with a sense of perplexity. He had interpreted the student's statement as a mere admission of fact, rather than a plea for clarification or an invitation for discussion.
