@LohnesGeorge @justshystie Assault is the threat/intent of violence; battery is the act of laying hands. D was battered after assaulting T; ya can’t say, “Imma hit you”, and confirm it after “Seriously?” and successfully press charges.

@TheSimpsonsNFL The best part for me is the @Broncos — you can hear @theharryshearer’s read blow back through the soundproofing in the recording booth. This. This is how we feel.

Anaphora Epistrophe is a grammar joke that also sounds like a professor at Hogwarts 🤓🪄

@NikkiHaley Come ON, step up the #clapback! Jailbird is *right there*; “such an honor to receive a trophy from America’s Jailbird President”; “So many loyalists have flown the coop he’s got a million of these”; “Very appropriate gift from someone surrounded by so many stool-pigeons”.

@SidMond11 Your beliefs are your own 🙂All I can say is communication is not only what you say, or what you mean when you say it, but also what people will hear. What people are hearing does not sound great at all. I don’t believe you’re a bigot, but it *sounds* bigoted. That’s all I can do

@SidMond11 Last one: Is Robert Downey Jr a thug? He was convicted of multiple felonies including a gun charge. What about The Rock? He admitted to violently robbing tourists in Hawaii; he was part of a robbery gang.

[Jim Hickox 🎪 @Jimhickox]

@SidMond11 Sure! They’re all gun charges (non-violent offenses), but felonies all the same. They’re all hip-hop icons - happens a lot. I don’t think you want to hurt people, but when you say these people are violent thugs, and those involved are all black, people will hear a dog whistle.

[Jim Hickox 🎪 @Jimhickox]

@SidMond11 Help me out here: who were the felons?

[Jim Hickox 🎪 @Jimhickox]

@SidMond11 The polite part of me will say, “Bud this is a really, really bad take; perhaps keep these feelings inside rather than broadcasting them - it’ll only cause pain”. And, by example, I won’t say what the impoilte part of me thinks.

@MikeDrucker Shareholders are the worst thing to happen to entertainment in the history of creativity.

There are more American millionaires than there are Australians. 2.5 times as many as there are Greeks, Swedes, or Dutch, and as many as there are Irish, Kiwis, Norwegians, Finns and Danes combined. That is a crazy number to think about.

And now you want to do so “in perpetuity throughout the universe”? Just sayin 😬

Sorry to bring this up to the AMPTP, but didn’t we solve the whole “owning people is bad” issue 160 years ago? I believe there was quite the kerfuffle about it.

@AnkerOfficial They’re great as long as they don’t fall out the fkkn wall. The prongs aren’t polarized and are conspicuously narrow, so they slip out the socket all 👏🏻the👏🏻time👏🏻. Wish they’d thought of that, cuz this is a problem about 85% of the time

@TotallyAllen Allen you name this song for every season and every occasion

[Jim Hickox 🎪 @Jimhickox]

@Vince_Ltd @crazyclipsonly You are absolutely right, but so am I 😅

[Jim Hickox 🎪 @Jimhickox]

@Vince_Ltd @crazyclipsonly Seems to have ended all right this time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
