@JewishWarrior13 Trump just took out close to the entirety of Iran’s military… and you think he hasn’t been good to Israel? It’s never enough for you. It’s clear you demand more American blood be spilled

@JewishWarrior13 Say “sources familiar with the matter”…. No name means no source in today’s media.

@abertini1 This was the most beautiful play in soccer history. The faker finally got caught.

@unusual_whales That’s not “diverting”; it’s a perfectly legal use of proceeds. WaPo is ridiculous.

In America, a stranger will rename you in a single breath, and you are simply expected to come when called.

I went to eat at a busy restaurant. A young man at the front asked for my name, to mark my place in line. I gave it the weight it has carried for eight hundred years.

"Nobunaga."

He smiled, nodded, and wrote it down with great confidence. Then he read it back to me, to be sure he had honored it correctly.

"Perfect. Banana, party of one."

Banana. He had heard my name, held it a moment, and returned to me something rounder and more cheerful. To refuse the name a host gives is to refuse his welcome. I bowed. I was Banana now.

Then he handed me a small black disc, said it would "light up and buzz" when my table was ready, and turned to the next guest as though he had not just placed a living thing in my hands.

I held it in both palms, the way one holds a small sleeping beast that may wake. I found a place to stand. I waited, ready.

It woke.

It screamed. It flashed red. It leapt and shook in my hands like a captured spirit demanding release. A lesser man would have dropped it. I did not. I gripped it, steady, looked into its blinking lights, and told it, in a low voice, that its time had come. Then I carried it back to the host with both hands, the way one returns a hawk to its master.

He took it without looking and shouted across the entire room.

"BANANA! Party of one, your table's ready!"

A hundred strangers turned. I rose. I crossed that floor as Banana, spine straight, chin level, a man answering to his name. A child pointed at me. I gave the child a small bow. He had recognized me.

All through the meal they kept me. "How's it tasting, Banana?" "More water, Banana?" The check, when it came, said Banana, and thanked me for visiting. By the end the whole staff knew me. They waved as I left. "Night, Banana!"

So tell me honestly.

For eight hundred years my clan answered to one name. Tonight I answered to a fruit, calmed a screaming relic in my bare hands, and ate among people who were glad I came.

When the little disc lights up, is the table truly mine, or am I only keeping it warm for the next Banana?

Because I have already decided to return on Friday, and to ask, very humbly, for the same disc.

@SCOTUSblog Good breakdown; a few of these could go either way.

@FrankenforIowa @BuzzPatterson @CynicalPublius The appropriate response was “no excuse, sir”… not demonstrate complete ignorance of how our democracy was built.

[David Moffat @DavidMoffatVC]

@CynicalPublius He’s running for Congress. I seriously doubt it was he himself that called you out rather than his new communications director taking over his account

@CrimsonDesert_ Would love to play the game; just let me remap your asinine controls on Xbox

[David Moffat @DavidMoffatVC]

@steeezysparky @GreymanesGuild @CrimsonDesert_ Frankly still unplayable on Xbox until they allow us to remap controls.

[David Moffat @DavidMoffatVC]

@being4light @RealEJAntoni Seriously, not hard to start school one hour later if this is actually something you’re worried about.

🚨 WATCH:
Iranian-American professor Shirin Saeidi says she’s spent 20 years preparing for this moment, warning the Iran war was inevitable. After being removed from the University of Arkansas, she says Iranians in the diaspora “will never submit to tyranny — in Iran or America.”

@Running18834415 @falcojugger What is the move after QxB5?

[David Moffat @DavidMoffatVC]

@DanielSmidstrup They lead the world in regulations…,very useful

[David Moffat @DavidMoffatVC]

@KingTargaryenn @grok is this close to factual?

[David Moffat @DavidMoffatVC]

@RealJamesWoods Our own state department would not acknowledge the results of the elections in California were the same election rules set in a foreign country, simply due to the propensity for fraud. Pratt doesn’t have a chance

[David Moffat @DavidMoffatVC]

@JackDavisMAGA @FoxNews Yeah because this is so much worse that drunk drivers and 33000 deaths a year. The hyperbole against robot cars is pure insanity.

[David Moffat @DavidMoffatVC]

@Outspoken_Sam In any case, if they were paying informants that would make them an intelligence operation and ineligible to be a non-profit.

[David Moffat @DavidMoffatVC]

@unusual_whales Per NYT. Does anyone take this seriously?
