Mississippi is the poorest state in the US.

Even though the state gets federal welfare funds, it is difficult to get welfare.

I got an award at a conference. The organizers asked for my Twitter handle as part of their promotions. I remarked that I didn’t have a Twitter handle because I got harassed off the platform for work that had earned me the award they were promoting. They gave no reply.

Ever wondered why you can’t argue authoritarians and conspiracy theorists out of demonstratively false beliefs?

On a morning conference call with state governors, Trump suggests they get medical supplies on their own instead of looking to the federal government. This will end up pitting governors against each other in the bidding for ventilators, respirators and protective gear.
