A third of the people I follow have left for 🦋. Another third have left for 🧵. I guess I'm going to have to follow multiple platforms for awhile. *sigh* (I'm jkhugginsjr on both platforms, if anyone cares.)

Dillon Dingler leads MLB catchers in ABS challenge metrics after going 4-for-4 last night. He’s 7-for-7 on the season. “It changes the game. We’ve seen it already. It flips counts and it flips at-bats. It’s big to know the zone.” mlb.com/news/dillon-di…

@travisakers First: I concur, wholeheartedly. Second: how sad is it that we've come to the point that a post like this is even necessary!

I want to take this opportunity to thank all of the off-duty law enforcement officers for working on Easter Sunday at churches across the U.S. to ensure service attendees could celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ safely and securely in their places of worship. Thank you!

Grover Cleveland had cancer (sarcoma) in his mouth and jaw removed on a yacht at sea while the public thought he was on vacation, and no one knew until 24 years later Woodrow Wilson had several strokes before and during his terms Eisenhower had a heart attack that they described as gas Chester Arthur’s kidneys were failing Roosevelt contracted polio and became paralyzed, so they took no pictures below the waist afterward to hide it JFK nearly died at least 5 times in his life due to Addison’s disease, including during his term, and was on a cocktail of drugs that included tons of steroids If it's one thing we can count on, it's that our government will not tell us if our president is unwell/cannot do the job because it temporarily crashes the market, causing billions in losses for the wealthy

If Obama had tweeted “praise be to Allah” on Easter Sunday Republicans would… oh, forget it.

Trying to decide whether to start my Easter sermon with a reference to UFOs or deer hunting.

@JeremiahDJohns Hegseth

Who's the main character today? What's the main topic on your timeline?

Pete Hegseth fired the Army chief of chaplains, the first time this has ever happened. Hegseth wants ALL religious exemptions to be denied. Hegseth demanded all Conscientious objector and religious exemption packets denied and the general said no. I believe now more than ever that America is going to invade Iran and was getting far too many “conscientious objectors” who do not want to die in a pointless and unpopular war fought for Israel. Hegseth has fired or removed a dozen generals or admirals now. He fired Gen. Randy George, the Army’s chief of staff and on the same day, he removed Army Maj. Gen. William Green, who had served in that post since 2023. This is going to be a disaster.

@JeremiahDJohns Bondi.

Who was the main character yesterday? What was the main topic on your timeline?

Rubio: Imagine if Iran funded the well-being of its people, rather than its military Trump, two days later: We can’t fund daycare or Medicaid, we need more money for our military

Reports now that Hegseth oversold the war to Trump and underestimated Iran's willingness to fight back. It's almost as if he's unqualified for his job. Too bad the Senate didn't have confirmation hearings; those would have proven his manifest unsuitability to lead the Pentagon.

Statement from Annie Farmer, an Epstein survivor, about Pam Bondi’s firing (Reminder: Bondi refused to turn around and acknowledge survivors at Congressional hearing this year) “This is not about a single person; it is about a government and judicial system that has repeatedly failed Epstein survivors. Regardless of who holds power, survivors deserve accountability, transparency, protection from retaliation, and assurance that those who enabled Epstein, Maxwell, and others will be investigated and, if appropriate, prosecuted.”

If you used genAI and then didnt even have the decency to do basic fact checking, your pubs should be pulled. And there should be a time penalty - dont clog the peer review publishing timeline for those of us actually doing our jobs. Fabrication of evidence is heinous.

April fools doesn’t hit the same living in a misinformation epidemic

Marriage.

On this day in 2016, Donald Trump famously promised to have the national debt completely paid off in eight years. Instead, during his administrations, it has doubled.

Playing tricks on people and then laughing at them because they trusted you is first-class victim-blaming. No, I'm not subtweeting. This is just me reminding you that most April Fool's jokes aren't funny.

@USGeocaching A9 I'm a professor, so I always have a collection of pens in my pocket. #USGeocachingHour

Q9: Today is National Pencil Day. When signing a log book, what is your preferred writing utensil? A pencil? Pen? Marker? Twig lying on the ground? Or do you mix it up depending on the situation? What determines your choice? #USGeocachingHour

@USGeocaching A7 Who can remember what the weather was like a month ago? #USGeocachingHour

Q7: The old proverb says March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb. With only one day left in the month, would you say that proverb was true this year? #USGeocachingHour
