What a time to be alive.

@ConnorPatrick Choosing violence toward true elder millennials

Boomers are 1945-64 Gen X are 65-84 Millennials are 85-2004 Zoomers are 2005-2024 The oldest Zoomers are 21. Not 29.

We used to be a proper country

Tammany Hall is a Petco

I would like to publicly thank the Contracts student who concluded their exam with, "Thank you for your attention to this matter."

@Genius In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection

what’s the greatest opening line to a song?

@jzux Unquestionably

they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night

@bikemamadelphia Disgraziad

TIL that Penn students call it "Gray Station", I can't imagine using her government name like that.

Your annual Donald Rumsfeld IRS Tax Day Letter appreciation post.

The resigning US Attorney's memo describes a quid pro quo between Adams and the DOJ so comically explicit that the DOJ second-in-command yelled at the government lawyers for taking notes during the meeting.

@bradford_hardin Except the last line should be “Are we…”

@ryrymcc This is me firing off arcane questions for follow up that I thought of in the shower

Rummy had biglaw partner energy

@AdviserCounsel You have asked the question that it is literally their job to answer

@ryrymcc They can say things…in press releases, social media, opinion sections, on tv, but that is the extent of what they can do, right?

@mollyesque "Frisch, who lives in Aspen,"

I went to the DNC meeting, where things did not seem to be going great

@CoconnellFox29 @FOX29philly What a powerful metaphor for the current moment

“I don’t record. I help” Philly man describes how he helped some of the injured on the ground after last nights medical transport plane crash in NE Philadelphia . All 6 onboard killed. No word on yet on how many injuries or fatalities on the ground. @FOX29philly

@yashar Time is way off - this happened just after 6 east

NEWS The company that operated the medical jet that just crashed in Philadelphia says there was a pediatric patient on board.

@yashar Context, though - don’t think most gen’l aviation accidents are twin engine jets.

Another message to my followers who have a fear of flying. Again, I know this doesn’t always help, but it helps sometimes so it’s worth a try. You may have seen the news that a small aircraft crashed in Philadelphia. Before you understandably think that this is part of a wave of crashes and ask, “What’s happening?” it’s worth noting that, in the aftermath of an event like the American Airlines crash, any mention of an aviation incident is going to receive heightened attention. To put it into perspective, in 2022, there were 1,267 general aviation accidents in the United States, of which 224 were fatal. These accidents resulted in 339 fatalities. Is that something to celebrate? No. But the point is, this happens regularly in general aviation—you just don’t hear about it. Also, general aviation in the United States, when considering the number of flights, is incredibly safe. Not as safe as commercial travel, of course, but still very safe. In 2022, there were approximately 17.6 million general aviation operations in the United States. That’s 7.20 accidents per 100,000 operations and 1.93 fatalities per 100,000 operations.

@RpsAgainstTrump Not a small plane like what that term usually conveys. Jet loaded with fuel into a neighborhood. Can smell jet fuel miles away.

🚨BREAKING: A small plane crashes in Northeast Philadelphia; multiple casualties reported

CA5 remands Robert Kennedy's suit against the Government for alleged covid silencing because, "ironically, [Kennedy] has been nominated to serve as secretary of HHS" and so the district court needs to think about mootness.
