Just saw the news that inactive accounts will be purged. So, thought I better dip my toe back in before my Twitter fingers are cut off! And, now, back to striking in sunny SoCal!

Interview with @BillMaher

Do you think he knows? Should someone tell him? The WAPost’s #MaxBoot is “frightened” that @elonmusk “seems to believe that on social media anything goes.” Mom dieu! Free p-rn on Twitter is one thing. But free speech? Hide the children!

Someone might want to tell the president…

8/18/20: “…entire media companies essentially exist to tear down Joe Biden, is there an equivalent of that on the left, tearing down Trump?” — #BrianStelter #CNN Hmmm… 3/28/20: “[CNN Exec. VP] Gollust texted Cuomo: ‘Well done . . . Cuomo-W. Trump-L.’” rollingstone.com/culture/cultur…

“God has a special providence for fools, drunkards, and the United States of America.” — Otto von Bismarck Free college isn’t gonna fix this: nypost.com/2022/03/02/lat…

WHAT TO WEAR? When you have to sit behind a president — for over an hour on national television — who has one of the worst approval ratings of any POTUS in the polling era (CNN) & whose first year over half of Americans say has been a failure (NPR): Blend into the furniture!

First, #Smollett. Then, the #LincolnProject. Clearly, fake hate crimes should be left to the pros. Hey ANTIFA! Looking to make some quick cash between looting & setting fires? Think of all the black hoodies you can buy! Just make sure *no personal checks*. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

CALLING ALL LAWYERS! Q: Is it legal for public school officials to practice viewpoint discrimination? “SCOTUS has held viewpoint-based restrictions to be especially offensive to the 1st A [and] presumptively unconstitutional.” - mtsu.edu/first-amendmen… dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

Lia has a lot to learn about girls: “I feel very supported. Just treated like any other member of the women's team.” Anonymous teammate: “When the whole team is together, we have to be like, ‘Oh my gosh, go Lia! You're amazing!’ It's very fake.” dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

Intersectionality: Virus edition. Note the headline blames “failure to adequately treat HIV patients” to appeal to libs who might otherwise get triggered. latimes.com/science/story/…

What I learned from #JuicySmollett!: 1. If you’re a celebrity: A vast army of over two dozen police officers will be deployed to expend 3,000 hours investigating your fake hate crime. 2. Child actors often grow up to be strange and troubled adults. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

@DreGrubbs Many localities have mandatory arrest laws that were enacted to protect women and give them safe harbor.

@realamymholmes How about both?

Domestic violence 9-11 calls are often cited as perfect examples where social workers would be preferable to police. Wrong! 1. Mandatory arrest laws; 2. Unpredictable & highly combustible situations like this one: “9-hour SWAT standoff ends w/ arrest” my.spokanecity.org/police/news/20…

If only there had been a soothing social worker instead of all of those mean police people: “A 9-hour standoff ends w/ arrest of 12-time convicted felon armed w/ a machete after dozens of SPD officers respond & de-escalation tactics are exhausted” my.spokanecity.org/police/news/20…

Very clever! How to guarantee a limitless need for your new, charitable organization? Identify a mission that is impossible to achieve, like this one!: “Black Lives Matter will continue to work towards the abolition of police and every unjust system.“ blacklivesmatter.com/statement-rega…

But Dems are scrupulously opposed to any foreign interference in elections! #RussiaRussiaRussia nationalreview.com/news/nyc-counc…

“BIPOC” is a political invention. And weirdly racist. It assumes, presumes, and insists that melanin/*brown skin* equates to a single, unified social & political category. We’re all lumped together, no matter our personal or cultural attributes. Tell that to my hairdresser.

SYMPATHY: For Alec Baldwin. Not for the shooting. For the harassment of onlookers. I was once seated on a plane across the aisle from Mr. Baldwin. Every. Single. Person who boarded made loud comments at him. Thankfully, he kept his cool & it was wheels up. dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/arti…
