I never ask this, but I'm asking now: Please retweet this.

Texas plans to kill Melissa Lucio in four days. Five jurors say evidence was withheld from them. A bipartisan majority of the Texas legislature favors clemency. Why are you waiting, @GovAbbott?

The implication here is that either
1. the bombing of the civilians was deliberate and not a mistake or
2. it was a mistake and drone strikes like this one are prone to mistakes that are not avoided by diligence

Neither is a pleasant prospect, it has to be said

@RajWebshar @trishankkarthik @GuruAnaerobic We made some from yogurt at home last year. Used up the plain yogurt elsewhere and were only left with strawberry yogurt when it was time to make the shrikhand. NB: strawberry shrikhand is delicious.

@paultiseo @HotlineJosh Way better that people with differing opinions design the curriculum than letting one-dimensional, brainwashed ideologues trained in Marxist Educational programs do it without oversight.

@TheRealRoseRose @RAPhil @HotlineJosh They can then argue and come to a consensus.

@sentientist Yesterday, read an exchange between two people on Twitter. It started out testily, but morphed into a pretty decent, and polite, exchange. Only the initial, bad-tempered tweets have received likes.

@notnewherefella @Neoavatara This is a good, and rather obvious, point (the first sentence, I mean).

That said, not sure if re-scanning happens (or is declared to happen) often though. If not, then that would explain the incredulity of the OP.

@OrigBoldRoyalty @antoniogm And no one's trying to put the car in gear. Which is just as well, since no one's at the steering wheel either.

Very nice thread. If you need a therapist, please have a look.

[Jesse @TheJesseMedina]

@AlfredBrattain @justinkan How to find a service you can afford! Seeing a therapist is vital if you’re really struggling!
