Cubs fan. @IllinoisPolSci alum. Might have been your Labor History TA at Cornell. Suburban Chicagoan by birth, now an economist in the DC suburbs.

The video for a song about lynching that the singer claims was not about lynching was filmed at a lynching site.

How dumb does @Jason_Aldean think we are?

The D gates at Keflavik are a declaration of war by Iceland against the United States.

Boom heard in College Park. Initially thought it was thunder, since I gave up on rain and started watering the garden. Then assumed it was a crash on the Beltway. #Boom #MarylandBoom #HereComesTheBoom #BoomBoomPow

@WendyACronin Contributing? Maybe. Solely responsible? No way. Will only be convinced by wonky paper using scary math symbols in the most prestigious of peer reviewed journals.

Listening to GlowFest in College Park. We don’t get this much noise from UMD Football or FedEx Field or other RFK events, so what is it about THIS festival?

Luke 24:11 is how I know the Gospel is true. Three reputable women report that Jesus is risen, but the apostles don’t believe them, so they send the guy who denied knowing Jesus, like, three fucking days ago to check it out. #ToxicMasculinity

@pchh You can’t believe people would enter their SSNs into a machine in the 90s? This was the time period when my college ID # was my SSN. I probably have out my social for a pizza discount in 1998.

We just get more and more evidence that Tesla has been successful in spite of Elon Musk, rather than because of. #Doge #NPR #WorstMidlifeCrisis

Two hours and 20 minutes to get out, and we were charged for parking. Why does @USGSA suck so much?

[Patti Coil @PattiCoil]

We’ve been stuck on the bottom floor of the Reagan Building for an hour now, @USGSA. Hundreds of cars can’t get out. You better not charge us for parking. @nbcwashington @washingtonpost @DCist

You say “dupe”. I hear “wasteful junk”.

I’m sure someone’s tweeting about a Karen this morning, but maybe DON’T play a first-person shooter game on Metro at full volume when there have been multiple shootings on the system lately? #WMATA

Reading “Spare”. There’s absolutely no way this many people had watched Suits in 2016.

@edburmila It’s bizarre because a gas engine 1984 Oldsmobile would still be running. The only thing to take those down were rust.

@TheOrangeKrush This doesn’t go far enough. Someone’s going to end up in jail for this “prank” and you ruined the reputation that I and other Krush alumni worked to hard to build.

@_MomViibes No. I’m here trying to figure out why people keep gifting these to us. The fabric is thin, so your child will be cold. They stretch out in normal washing conditions. For $34, you can buy 3 or 4 pairs of durable PJs.

@KeepMovingTara My dad did genealogy. He spent hours every weekend at a Mormon library looking through microfilms. By high school, I had the historical research training to be able to untangle his research and find additional sources. Being a teenager and better than Dad was the hook.

@WashProbs Since I’d find myself with a free night with nothing to do, I’d stick around until the other woman left, show her the texts, and let her dump David as well.
