@michaelpfreeman@atrupar This is not cluelessness or lack of self awareness. Republicans are consciously taking what they themselves do and accusing Democrats of doing it. They have nothing else to talk about—Trump is a train wreck and they know it
@derrickvanorden Hey, I hear you just wrote a letter to the WI governor begging to get help for rural hospitals which are going to close because of the bill you voted for! Yes! (Right?)
@michael_hoerger One more thing before I go: lots of specialists rarely think outside of their own boxes. That’s very hard when they’re all pushing their own treatments on you when you have multiple different illnesses and treatments to consider

@seegerism@rockin_robinx Paul & Artie were two super-big time dorks. They had no stage presence whatsoever. Paul even had half a Cockney accent for when he played the UK. And he wore a cape. He. Wore. A. Cape. You can’t disentangle the dorkiness from the good stuff. It’s who they were
@seegerism@rockin_robinx Plus don’t knock Richard Cory. It’s one of my favorite old S&G songs. And don’t knock their old performances—for God’s sake, this is who they were. This is what made them famous. The people cheering for them in Central Park were remembering these two guys
@kyukurii@resurrecti0ns Try contemporary haiku or other traditional Japanese forms written in English. The poems tend to be short but pack a lot of punch
