@grok Tell me about NATO and Ukraine

@mikebolen @waitwhosaidwait @JeanLossie @joncoopertweets Do you mean like creating functional educational and healthcare systems? The Danes just offered to help out with that since we cannot seem to handle either.

@waitwhosaidwait @JeanLossie @joncoopertweets And we should leave NATO, the member nations should provide their own defense. We need to focus on issues at home

I love how Denmark isn’t taking any shit from Donald Trump. 🇩🇰 🤣

@DuchessSexpert I'm judging that dog as awesome. 10/10

Hey @USPSHelp, I love you guys and always defend you. More in the interest of knowing the story, can you guys explain this? tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfir…

As a middle-aged cishet white man who grew up in Butler County, Ohio, and married an Ivy League-educated Indian-American lawyer, I would like to issue the following statement: JD Vance is an absolute asshole.

J.D. Vance is the human embodiment of Skibidi Ohio.

Despite what the status page says, ChatGPT is not back up.

I am honored and excited to say I've been invited to be the keynote speaker at the Norbert Wiener Center's Fall Fourier Talks next month. buff.ly/3tacD2D

In "Citizen Soldiers and American State Defense Forces," I provide an overview of the role of state defense forces in American disaster response. domesticpreparedness.com/articles/citiz…

@JaceRidley @mosspuppet @MatthewKonchan That is not how fair use works, at all.

@jmwooldridge That sounds sad.

I was tempted to include a certain song by Spinal Tap.

Rock songs that have memorable intro keyboard riffs. I'll give five: 1. The Final Countdown (Europe) 2. Runaway (Bon Jovi) 3. Don't Stop Believin' (Journey) 4. Dream On (Aerosmith) 5. Empire of the Clouds (Iron Maiden)

@UberBlacked Nevertheless, here we are.

@k3jph I dunno, but they definitely meant for this to be illegal

I’m going to end this “2nd Amendment was only meant for ‘well-regulated militias’” debate. Let’s look at the State Constitution of Delaware, widely known as “The First State”. Delaware Article I. Bill of Rights, § 20. Right to keep and bear arms: “Section 20. A person has the right to keep and bear arms for the defense of self, family, home and State, and for hunting and recreational use.” Now Pennsylvania, the 2nd State: Article I. Declaration of Rights, § 21.  Right to bear arms. “The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned.” Now tell me, anyone please: If the first two states - original ratifiers of the United States Constitution and 2nd Amendment - say quite specifically the right to bear arms is for The People, shall not be questioned, and is for self, family, hunting, recreation, and defense of their State, how can ANYONE logically conclude the original framers meant differently?

@UberBlacked That would miss the point. The point is, the people who wrote those bits you're citing, came 100+ years after the Second Amendment, and were generations after the people who wrote the Second Amendment. Their understanding does not inform the prior.

@k3jph Is this where I say, “It was meant to be a living document that could be updated and changed as society evolved”? To which you reply, “No nOt LiKe tHaT!!!”

@UberBlacked And the Pennsylvania constitution is from 1968. The original PA constitution from 1776 does include language similar to the Second Amendment, but it is much more clearly stated the purpose is to maintain a standing militia.

@UberBlacked Well, you see, the Constitution of Delaware you are citing is from 1897. It was the fourth constitution of Delaware. The first, from 1776, includes no such provision.

@dr_bw Of course. How else would you do it?

Does your #macncheese begin with a Béchamel sauce?

@mattasheck @Jesse_Brenneman @owillis Who needs to think it when they have independent evidence of it?

New forms of grievance are mutating in front of our very eyes.

@VidBr1 Heh, I LOLed. You seem hellbent for leather on digging that hole deeper. Carry on. I haven't had this much entertainment in like, an hour.

@k3jph Nobody cares who you are, but calling yourself a "doctor" if you don't have the degree for it is illegal in many states, just an FYI!

@VidBr1 Nobody cares who you are. It was a reference to my potential response.

@k3jph I didn't post, "do you know who I am?" Also, what kind of "doctor" are you? Where'd you earn your degree, Trump U.?

@VidBr1 Wow, I haven't had a "Do you know who I am?" moment in a while.

@k3jph I don't make things up as I go. I minored in poli sci with a pre-law emphasis when I was an undergrad. Then, I went onto graduate school and became a mental health therapist. Too bad, you must not have access to scholarly peer-reviewed sources.
