@GadSaad @dcexaminer Reading now —too bad there are so many Suicidal Empathy examples!

@SpeechUnion @freddiesayers “Speaking ill of the dead” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here - what ghoulish things to wish on someone, and an employee expressing such opinions publicly should be held responsible for their comments, including termination.

[Brian Smith @BS1740]

@patriarchysons Yep, not sure it’s “persecution” if you can wear your standard-issue uniform but choose not to. “Cry Harder” comes to mind.

@HansFiene @MZHemingway Confirming the already-confirmed appointment is also a lot of fun

[Rothmus 🏴 @Rothmus]

“Bastiat proves beyond all doubt that the proper function of government is to protect the lives, liberty, and property of its citizens, but not to provide for them.”

“For in order to provide for some, first it must take from others, becoming the mechanism for legalized plunder.”

@money_cruncher Great Checklist!

She Calls Me Back took my top spot this year. More in my #SpotifyWrapped https://t.co/kFcwpwSj91

@simonsarris Creative names on that org chart, especially Stella Payne Diaz 😂

[Brian Smith @BS1740]

@mkhammer She seems lovely…😂😂

@duolingo El dice que “Get rid of Eddy’s annoying voice in the Eddy Hard Mode ejercicios, por favor!”. At least that’s what I think he was saying. Gracias

[Brian Smith @BS1740]

@duolingo @Jkdobbins22 Yes, fantastic app! And so much better before the annoying Eddy Hard Mode!! PLEASE get rid of it.

[Brian Smith @BS1740]

@BrentAWilliams2 I love a rainy night, Eddie Rabbitt
Purple Rain, Prince
Here Comes the Rain Again, Eurythmics

[Brian Smith @BS1740]

@duolingo PLEASE disable the sound effects on Eddy’s Hard Mode. Por favor, no me gusta.

[Brian Smith @BS1740]

@4thOfJuly365 No. Better to know what people really think, it seems. Clear is kind, as they say.

[Brian Smith @BS1740]

@StephenKing If you were decent, you would say something about this being a horrible, tragic event; not a way to solve indifferences; “sorry” to his beautiful daughters and wife; or say nothing. Why be awful? Is it worth it?

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.

If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.

If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.

If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.

[Brian Smith @BS1740]

@NC_Governor IDK but think you could be on to something with the “hold violent criminals accountable” emphasis. Terrible, senseless tragedy.

[Brian Smith @BS1740]

@peterjhasson I’m not sure this was “dystopian”. She acted inappropriately and shouldn’t have acted like she did. If he stole it out of her hands and I didn’t notice then I stand corrected, but it looks like he just picked it up in front of her.

[Brian Smith @BS1740]

@enews I’m very happy for them, but the voice reading this is absolutely awful.

[Brian Smith @BS1740]

@ThomasSowell I need to read his book, Basic Economics, have heard it is great.
