Are we taking bets yet on when the GOP will test market the idea that women shouldn’t get to vote?

I cannot express how excited I am for GAMERS 4: DORKNESS FALLS. Please please pretty please help get this movie funded. It would mean the world to me. @Kickstarter https://t.co/jQzmmnzoXP

It seems conservatives had no problem with Prince Charles changing his pronouns.

@tombrazelton My guess would’ve been it’s just an old word for moldy. I’m pretty sure “must” was a word for mold, like on bread rather than like on wood. So “musty” would be “it smells kinda like moldy bread in here”? But also just a guess.

@SammiLeighM @Twitter Why would somebody RT somebody else’s selfie? Super creepy.

@CoreyDotCom It might’ve been something by Alexander Pope, since I’ve talked about his stuff on podcasts recently too. Absolutely hilarious satirist, esp. The Rape of the Lock.

[Carrington Vanston @carrington]

@CoreyDotCom I don’t recall, but 14th C lit isn’t really my bag (though I like the hits: The Canterbury Tales, Sir Gawain...). Maybe a later work? 18th C is when stuff really makes me laugh. Maybe Tristram Shandy? I remember gushing about it on a podcast. I could talk about it for days.

@benjedwards @hackaday Ironically, if the Internet has taught me anything it’s that too many knobs have keyboards.

@SammiLeighM “Well, some days I don’t want to go swimming.”

[Carrington Vanston @carrington]

@SammiLeighM He replied, “some days it’s cold out and I want to warm up, so I swim in the hot pool. And some days it’s hot out and I want to cool down, so I swim in the cold pool.”

“Okay, but why do you have an empty pool?” I asked. And he said: . . .

@InspectorBearRN Wow, that is a remarkable haul indeed! 👍

@SammiLeighM If I was in that costume and someone told me I looked scary, I’d say “aw, shucks” and oh how we’d laugh. #LaughterNotGuaranteed
