@TZG44587623 @1mcmn @JamesMelville She was a teensy bit right. The word appears in a 1944 memo by Texas Congressman Fontaine Maury Maverick, a democrat. He may have coined it.

@newsmanual @iraglass Hey just listened to your story with Seth Lind. I made a website for people to collect videos and quotes that make them cry. It's called unslumping.org I'm still the only user but anyone can contribute, and curate the stuff that makes THEM cry.

@GeriHalliwell This post has aged like a fine wine. Like a fine wine. Why can't I say fine? This is bull shirt.

I never really heard any say it like it is. Its a shame that our politicians didn't take the same stance as @berlin_bridge Russia knows nothing but Force, thats why we need to show them it.

@adenyoungRTFY What a delightful little Kipling-esque story. The video doesn't play any more but the link is vimeo dot com slash 68626523. Here, I'll try to include it but that might not work either. Hail the Whiz of Baz Ziz and the Czar of Bazaar. vimeo.com/68626523

Dear fellow Earthlings, In this time of great confusion, fear and uncertainty here is a story of love and contagion. This story was the first gift I received from my father. Share it with those you love. vimeo.com/68626523

@DFODetroit kudos for catching those Asian Long Horn beetles. Scariest news I heard today, thinking of all the ways their frass might not have been discovered. How likely will Romanian authorities investigate why the "heat treatment" didn't work? cbp.gov/newsroom/local…

@realTuckFrumper Wish the article said how in the world they found these things. The wood had a stamp "heat treated" so kudos to somebody for checking something else. Gotta believe they'll get through eventually, if they haven't already.

@RepSpartz Wonder what would happen if, at the beginning of a meeting you ask, "I suggest anyone who yells or interrupts is asked twice to stop. After a third time, everything stops until they leave. How many agree?"

@RepSpartz True, but neither is it going to work confusing shouters and interrupters with your intellectual opponents. They're orthogonal sets and each deserves very different handling. I am inclined to favor shouters and screamers being gently and respectfully yeeted from the room.

I don’t think radical left has learned yet that shouting and screaming is not going to work - no one is going to be intimidated. I still appreciate everyone who came to my town halls this week & hope at least some on the left were able to hear common sense policies we are trying to implement benefiting all Americans.

@taylormtelford I've submitted ten carefully-written proposals on @upwork over the last few months. I discovered from the stats that not one of them has been even VIEWED. A new listing can get 20-50 proposals in the first hour.

@Kasparov63 Not completely useless. Stating your position without ultimatums is not dishonorable. Every chance you give a thug to choose honor, is another chance for him to demonstrate his dishonor to the world. What's obvious to us is not obvious to everyone.

Or what? Putin only pays attention to what comes after "or", so all this "Russia must" is useless without it. Macron: "Russia must now accept the US-Ukrainian proposal for a 30-day ceasefire. Russian aggression in Ukraine must end. Abuses must stop. So must delaying statements."
MAKS 26 🇺🇦👀@Maks_NAFO_FELLA

🇫🇷🇺🇦🇬🇧 Macron: I spoke today with Zelensky and then with Starmer following the progress made at the US-Ukraine meeting in Jeddah on Tuesday. Russia must now accept the US-Ukrainian proposal for a 30-day ceasefire. Russian aggression in Ukraine must end. Abuses must stop. So must delaying statements. This Tuesday, the Paris meeting brought together some 40 Chiefs of Staff. Tomorrow, we will continue working to strengthen support for Ukraine and for a strong and lasting peace, via video conference with Starmer, Zelensky, and all our partners.

@TsurkanKate @AmbJohnBolton @KyivIndependent Great interview. I don't always agree with Bolton but I usually feel as if I understand issues better after listening to him. He's good at wording and framing what's actually going on.

@rafeequemavoor @NIH The only image of a bird that’s not domesticated and not a silhouette is the African Guinea Fowl. There are 31,931 images of mice.

@zackbeauchamp I live in NY near the border and have a different surreal experience. When I cross into Canada I have to remind myself that the trees can't possibly know they're not in the U.S.
