There's nothing like a cool, windy, rainy morning to make you feel like everything is existentially right with the world.

"As a campus, we’ve spoken a lot about bridging divides ... Nobody will look at this ... and love every piece of it." Today's divided @UWSystem Regents' vote is just one more argument for the type of compromise-based solution @uwchancellor helped broker. news.wisc.edu/compromise-and…

@lorenschmidt @joshu I don’t know. KWZ makes one they say is good for pens but it’s also lots of colors I didn’t think were possible so I don’t know what it is. The iron might precipitate out or change color if you change the pH too much.

@sschillace @joshu i have also read it is non-archival and slowly degrades paper, likely for the same reason. i wonder if one can neutralize they pH?

crushing oak galls to make ink.

@joshu @lorenschmidt Ah yes. Good times. Has it come out yet? Remember, that ink is acidic and will eat pens if left in for a long time.

@lorenschmidt this reminds me of the time @sschillace brought some homemade iron gall ink over and accidentally inked the dog

@kwetoday I’m sorry. Just trying to help by offering some info you might not have had.I didn’t know what was going on with mine until my pt told me, the doc wasn’t helpful at all. I thought since you posted it publicly you might want info.

@sschillace Dude, I’m ok. Your comment not appropriate.

It’s just over six months since I broke my ankle, had surgery. I started walking without any aids around June. So, about 3 months of walking on it. It’s still swollen, and hurts. I miss running but I will keep on with my exercises.

It’s funny how airlines delay and cancel flights at the last minute for no clear reason and shrug it off like “life is unpredictable but you’ll get there eventually!” But if you try to reschedule a ticket six weeks in advance they’re like “The penalty is $250 or your first child”

A Neo-Nazi Live-fire paramilitary training camp called “The Base?” Hmmm ... Know what “al-Qaeda” translates to in English? “The Base.” Their speciality? live-fire paramilitary training. #WhiteSupremacistTerrorism is real.

The president to date has spent 278.5 YEARS of annual presidential salary in taxpayer money to play golf.

I still can’t believe they stole an election from Stacey Abrams and then let Brian Kemp take office like he was a legitimately elected governor.

Trump’s crowd size at his rallies is pathetic. He can’t even fill 12,000 seat auditoriums. He holds rallies at small venues to make the crowd size look large, but for a president it’s just embarrassing. President Obama filled NFL stadiums and the field. Obama rules, Trump drools.

July 2019 was the hottest recorded month ever. The four hottest Julys before that: July 2018 July 2017 July 2016 July 2015 Anyone who does not understand the urgency of the climate crisis and plans to respond accordingly needs to get out of politics right now.

We can’t let this point get lost, South Africa’s government back then denied black members of Congress in the same way Israel is denying Muslim members of Congress. If the agenda or host was the problem, why didn’t they also deny the other member who was traveling with us?

Keep up the drum beat: Why did Justice Kennedy retire so abruptly? What role did his son at Deutsche Bank play? Who paid off Brett Kavanaugh’s $92,000 country club fees plus his $200,000 credit card debt plus his $1.2 million mortgage, and purchased themselves a SCOTUS seat?

@KateAllDay I think you win twitter for today.
