@timgproject Tim Gardner, I defend your right to not know that I ask questions and don't govern anything, that I am agnostic about whether Oswald was in Mexico City or to seek me out for comment before attacking me.

@Money23Green - too bad you lost the game for us last night. Oh yeah, and Jordan Poole. Oh right, and the 2015 championship. I've had it. Please get out of basketball. You're a bully.

@StandUpForTrmp Tenacious D!

Over 9 in 10 Americans who voted for Donald Trump in 2024 still view him positively. 92 percent approve. The people’s president. Simple poll. Please be honest! As of today, how much do you still trust this man? A. 100% B. 50% C. 25% D. 0%

@ShannonKat40013 @archeohistories I empathize with what you're saying but hating your own personal background doesn't advance an otherwise important conversation.

@archeohistories What every painting of Jesus would really look like if white people weren't so shameful. I'm white.

Portrait of an unidentified man that was placed over the face and upper torso of his mummy. Dated to 150–170 AD, it is painted in encaustic on a panel of linden wood, and it was originated in Roman Egypt. This remarkable portrait belongs to a group of artworks known as the Fayum mummy portraits, a tradition that flourished in Roman Egypt between the 1st and 3rd centuries AD. Unlike the stylized depictions of faces seen in earlier Egyptian funerary art, these portraits were painted in a strikingly naturalistic style, giving us lifelike glimpses of people who lived nearly 2,000 years ago. Painted in encaustic, a technique using hot wax mixed with pigment, the colors remain vivid even after centuries. The medium gave artists the ability to capture depth, texture, and warmth, preserving the humanity of their subjects with astonishing realism. In this particular piece, the curly hair, sharp eyebrows, and direct gaze make the man seem almost alive, as though he could step out of history and into the present. The portrait was originally placed over the face and chest of the deceased’s mummified body, merging Egyptian burial practices with Roman artistic sensibilities. These works represent more than individual likenesses—they reflect the cultural blending of Greek, Roman, and Egyptian traditions in a society at the crossroads of the ancient Mediterranean world. What makes the Fayum portraits so moving is the intimacy they provide. Unlike statues of emperors or gods, these images show ordinary people: merchants, soldiers, mothers, and children. Each one is a reminder that behind the ruins and relics of antiquity were lives full of stories, emotions, and identities. This man’s name may be lost to time, but his face survives as one of history’s most hauntingly personal echoes. #archaeohistories

@mtaibbi You were a fine reporter. Now you are a stenographer for the people in power. So sad to see you as a broken man. I hope you will choose to stand for justice later in your life. Life is about choices.

Experts weigh in on the Minnesota shooting: “You got a hot-headed dumb cop and then you got entitled Karen doing whatever she does. And that’s a perfect storm for a disaster.” open.substack.com/pub/taibbi/p/w…

@JFKPaine Here's the second conference: conspiracytheoryconference.weebly.com The only bigger waste of time than conspiracy theories is academics discussing the phenomena. It's like talking about terrorism - how is it defined? Who is defining it?

Want to know what academics are saying about "conspiracy theories"? Here you go: mrxdentith.com/ctconference20…

@WestCoastGadfly Where are the investigators, the money-savers, the grown-ups in Congress or the mainstream media. They existed 50 years ago. Where are they now?

@JFKPaine There are copies available, you can watch it at home.

New 35mm print of this mostly unknown 70s conspiracy film showing in NYC on 8/11 and LA 8/25. Would love to see this. Based on a novel by Richard Condon, author of the Manchurian Candidate. youtube.com/watch?v=wMCJcL…

@MWN_STPatrick I found my copy the same way - good on Frazier, great on Bentley and their untruths IF the psychological stress test he relies is valid - still don't know, all these years later.

Saw this at an antique store today… have never seen it before… anyone?

@JFKPaine Gopnik treats evidence as an embarrassment, not something to be discussed between rational people - and he derides those who disagree with him as "buffs". A bad actor with a smooth delivery.

If you're struggling to decide what YOU, as a self-styled person of intelligence, sophistication, and some measure of status, are supposed to think about the JFK assassination, this New Yorker piece by Adam Gopnik will spell it out for you. newyorker.com/magazine/2013/…

@ilyseh This has been going on for some time, and many of these Venezuelans have obtained citizenship. Again, this is only one factor.

@ilyseh Ilyse, I do believe one big factor is the flood of immigrants from Venezuela, many of whom are anti-Maduro, similar to the Cuban emigrants that were anti-Castro. From what I understand, the numbers are comparable.

@jeffersonmorley Great quote from Chuck Todd on your new book. Congratulations.

Good company

@ericswalwell @RepThomasMassie Scared.

@BillSimpich hi bill, did you get my long letter which i sent you by air mail?my email adress is as follows: klaus.simpich@t-online.de. would öike to hear from you.

Hi Bill. I hope I may call you this way. I think by some way or other we are related to each other. I would be very happy if you answered my mail. Then you would learn more about me and my family. Best wishes from Klaus Simpich living in Germany

@KSimpich Klaus - seldom on Twitter just saw this - never saw the airmail. Let’s try email. It would be great to connect with you! Bill

@teragramus @RevDrBarber Oh yes he is

@RevDrBarber sir...you are not on the side that opposes CIA spying on our people

Perhaps most importantly, the expanded Child Tax Credit lifted the stigma of receiving welfare. Sen. Manchin and others want to do away with it now—not because it didn’t work, but because it did. breachrepairers.org/blogs/protect-…

@CaligirlLeftie What gave you that impression?

@deborahoak I think SF will! Let's get it right.

Hoping San Francisco follows.
