@octal A shinkansen WAITED for our incoming train, delayed for 7 minutes by a snow storm. Panic scene. About 15 uniformed JR personnel were out on the platform yelling at us to hurry. Old ladies were trying to run, hauling heavy suitcases. Don't keep the shinkansen waiting!

@LorenaSGonzalez @ninaschau @Teamsters Just leave people alone. Is that concept too difficult for you to understand? Or are you so beholden to corrupt unions, you simply have to do whatever they want.

@ninaschau @Teamsters Please be more specific. What creative job was changed? Misclassification laws were established long before AB5… and many in the arts industry simply ignored them. We have tried to add clarity, specificity & injected money into the arts. What exactly are you referring to?

The fact that trucking companies will have to abide by basic labor laws in CA takes us one step closer to rebuilding the middle class that was almost deregulated out of existence. Proud of my @Teamsters union, #defendingDynamex hasn’t been easy… but nothing good ever is. #AB5

@DavidOAtkins "The Build Back Better Act Will Reduce Inflation" How's that working out for you, David?

@wokeandwoofing @rickygervais No, I don't understand, because I don't get offended. Why should I care what other people think?

@rickygervais I don't think you understand what it feels like to be offended. It's literally like being stabbed.

@AliciaS92572215 @MrAndyNgo Oh so what do you recommend, he should go and hit their trucks? Don't be such an idiot.

Breaking: #Antifa smash up a man’s truck at the Oregon state Capitol in Salem. He pulls out a gun and is arrested by responding police. #AntifaRiots

@octal When I lived in FL and saw the aftermath to a hurricane (6 days of no power) I was amazed that almost no gas stations had generators for backup. In a state where hurricanes can be guaranteed to occur.

@octal When it happens here I either get out the generator or move the food into the trunk of the car. (A cardboard box would be vulnerable to hungry critters.)

I don't share Greenwald's politics, and he's a bit prolix, but his honesty deserves support, so I subscribed. greenwald.substack.com/?utm_medium=we…

@JGreenblattADL @parler_app @ADL So um when Bill Clinton pardoned Susan Rosenberg after she helped to actually bomb the Capitol did ADL get upset with him for that?

With social platform @parler_app slated to be shut down later tonight, @ADL’s Center on Extremism finds extremists are using the service's final hours to spread hate, promote conspiracy theories, make violent threats and issue calls to arms. Details here: adl.org/blog/parler-us…

@YesYoureRacist Oh please, add me to your shit list--your hate list--your, er, blacklist--of people you want to punish. I would be honored.

@Mr_Trout Why "frighteningly" lifelike sex doll? Why are you so afraid of the future? And why didn't you have sex with her?

@EdwardorEddie I'm just trying to be realistic. I did not mean to hurt feelings. Everyone has a list of laws they would like to change.

@EdwardorEddie There are thousands, possibly millions of laws I don't like. Why is your particular complaint special?

@EdwardorEddie You just tell them it's the law. What's so hard about that?

@AlSweigart I don't know anything about who translated my books, sorry.

Just for the dubious fun of it, one more cellular automaton.

2D cellular automaton ... because.
