Learned to holler studying martial arts and it continued when I started playing soccer. The ball goes a LOT farther on a pass/shot when you engage your abs and hollering is a good way to do that. It also is very satisfying/therapeutic.

Jesus. Automated enforcement advocates really underestimate the potential for abuse with these cameras. The amount of information they collect is staggering, as is the ability to piece it all together to meticulously track individual people.

One thing that annoys me about the Democratic consultant class is how they act like they're brass-knuckle streetfighters and yet don't have the stones to run nonstop ads about Trump's extensive connections to Jeffrey Epstein. It's all true! It's documented! There are photos!

“Tristan Snell Biden's next act w/his new presidential immunity: Create 4 new seats on the Supreme Court, by executive order. He can add a binding ethics code as well. And a special counsel to investigate corruption on SCOTUS while he's at it.” [Excellent idea. Now who will convince Biden?]

And remember, the Christian Right only took up abortion as a topic after they lost school segregation for good when the IRS went after Bob Jones’ U status, & needed a new issue to rally the troops. 1/x all our issues are intertwined. 🧵

my other toxic opinion is that life is full of context and nuance and gray areas and therefore absolutely no one can be 100% morally correct or ideologically pure, and to think otherwise is embarrassingly foolish

The lower of the two was complete, side to side and massive. The second was more like brackets either side of the base of the complete one. They went up about 1/3 of the height. One of the best rainbows I've ever seen.

Okay, okay, it’s hilarious, but we also need to start seriously discussing just how much America restricts your life and opportunity and ability once you have a conviction. Because the vast majority of the people convicted of felonies aren’t Trump.

The biggest disaster of the last 24 hours is actually the Supreme Court ruling that overturns 40 years of deference to the expertise of regulators in cases about pollution, drug safety, food safety, climate change — you name it, the Court just gelded it. Even if Biden is reelected, we're weakened.
