Happy Granddadddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

@tanpukunokami I remember in 2001, when the Taliban destroyed the 1,500 year old Buddhas of Bamyan. Terrible people seem to enjoy destroying history. [Images from De Agostini Picture Library before and Afghanistan Embassy after]

@BordenJoel I remember OSI from a long time ago. They are still out there.

@PlotWeaver I had the Marx pamphlet from the airport in Moscow. The OSI asked to see it. I didn’t get it back.

I have an entire shelf of books that I fundamentally disagree with, because I consider it important to understand the other side. This leads to interesting interactions. A decade ago, a friend asked about the 4th book from the left, because his German grandfather had emigrated to Argentina in the mid-1940s and he had just inherited a signed two-volume set of Mein Kampf.

@BasedMikeLee You get more of what you reward. Amnesty rewards illegal immigration. That will increase the flood of criminals into our country. No, thank you.

The Dignity Act is amnesty But amnesty isn’t dignity It’s an inducement for more illegal immigration

@libsoftiktok Tina Peters was held without cause for far too many years. She is a political prisoner in what used to be America.

@Henrymedia105 Pretty similar.

@PlotWeaver To be clear I have literature that I disagree with its ideology/ worldview. The Quran, eastern religious texts, nietzche, Marx, Helter skelter, secular / humanist / atheist writings. I figure it’s good to understand others perspectives, generally You?

@tourouken555 Non-citizens should never receive benefits that are not available to citizens. Non-citizens should never receive government benefits at all. Deport:

今すぐ廃止すべきと思う人✋ 🚨🇯🇵台東区で中国人が家計支援特別給付金20万円を、来日して今回が3回目（合計60万円！）と大喜びしている。 税金をほとんど納めていない外国人世帯に、何度も日本人の血税が流出するこの仕組みは完全に狂っている！

@Henrymedia105 What are the superstars on your shelf?

@PlotWeaver I do too

@MBorogroves @RoKhanna @nytopinion lol I think not, but that endorsement will move the needle in the other direction.

@PlotWeaver @RoKhanna @nytopinion Does Ro Khanna have a lot of pull in...Kentucky?

Thomas Massie is a man of character. He is the type of Congressman our founders envisioned. I hope his constituents will see the courage, independence and sincere love of country he brings to the job. nytimes.com/2026/05/14/opi… via @NYTOpinion

I just got off the phone with him, and he has no regrets about the money he could have had by selling an autographed high-quality set of Mein Kampf signed by the author. I have no regrets about keeping a reference copy of that terrible book on my shelves (three of my children read it and talked with me about it in detail during high school). I wonder how people feel about this book's existence and its destruction. (4/4)

We decided to shred them, and we did it together. I had access to a paper cutter that he used to cut the pages loose from the binding. He fed the autographed flyleaf in first, then we took turns feeding perhaps 20 pages at a time. The resulting confetti became mulch that I stirred into the soil where I later planted blueberries. My blueberries are just forming now in the garden. (3/4)

My friend had promised his grandfather that he would never sell the books outside the family (valued at many tens of thousands of US dollars because of the author's autograph). My friend did not want those books in the hands of someone who approved, so he made that promise. He also did not want to own them (gross) or burn them (too much like the people he despised). (2/4)

@tedcruz Nailed it!

@mattvanswol Is anyone surprised? I didn't think so.

🚨OH. MY. GOSH!!! It has been revealed that the man who has been drawing Swastikas all over Fayetteville NC... ...is actually a BLACK MALE, "Taquon Jameek Vereen" He was let out on a $1500 bond and then IMMEDIATELY BEGAN WAIVING A GUN AT PEOPLE ON THE STREET. He was YET AGAIN given a $2500 bond. Curiously, although local media reported on the story, they miraculously failed to mention, AT ALL, the race of man who was drawing these swastikas. ...I wonder why 🤔

@C_3C_3 We all know his drug OD killed him. Sad that he did nothing of value with his life. My take on a George Floyd theme song:

What was the actual cause of George Floyd’s death?

@james_xond Human nature is the dealbreaker there.

What do you think is the biggest reason humanity still can’t live peacefully together?

@TRobinsonNewEra Meaning Labour authoritarians will hate her speech, I hope.

😂😂😂😂😂

@MusicJim2 I love it for its energy, of course.

@PlotWeaver Her birthday celebration song👍
