Aaaa! Test tweet!

@WiseBlood_ @dragonballchad @MangaMoguraRE Nobody who will talk knows for sure. Was the author sick? Working on the anime? Plotting the next few chapters to minimize inconsistencies and stay on the overall story path? It's all speculation with no actual evidence that I've seen.

@tronsgender @NMamatas My brother and I read it in our sixth grade years for funsies. He had taken it from our grandmother's house and read it before me.

So we have identified 3 American children to the OP's 1 Italian child. By anecdotal evidence, we read Dante more than Italians! 😉

I read the Divine Comedy for fun when I was 11-12.
My brother who picked it up from a grandmother's house read it before me. He's about a year older than me.

Spoke today to a 13 yr old Italian girl who is now studying Dante’s “Divine Comedy” at school. I understand it’s a pre-eminent work of Italian literature— but are our American 6th graders reading anything close to a 13th century poem of 14,000+ verses? Just asking.

Emil Bove sounds like a 19th century digestive powder Victorian men would add to their fried liver dinners to invigorate their bile ducts.

@ShopCrunchyroll Would have loved to have gotten this. But the Crunchyroll Store mishandled the order, the package got lost and there's no replacement to be had!

@FedEx Being hip isn't a substitute for actually delivering the packages to the right place.
Basically, if you want to make sure your package is not delivered, use FedEx.

@GeorgeTakei I can see this, though I wonder if it's because you have mentioned him by name.

@jkuhlmedia @kareem_carr Stack Overflow: dozens of variations of "what version of X software/computer/internet" questions before even trying to address the issue in the query.

@JohnFetterman If only this elected official cared about the slaughter of civilians as much as he cared about the Senate Dress Code.

In the last few weeks our engagement has plummeted once again and we've lost hundreds of followers on Elon's platform.

Our crowdsourced strategy requires that we have solid reach on social media to avoid missing evidence.

@singlecellrager He doesn't have one as it's false.

Here's a source of the ACLU raising concerns with the bill back in September.

@PKhakpour Which sucks because normal, vulnerable people will suffer the consequences of them not actually taking him seriously as a threat.

[Kevin Oaks @QuickEThoughts]

@PKhakpour I truly believe that Democrats view Trump more like an "effective" thing to campaign against than an existential threat to democracy. Which is why we did not see great movement on his trials until about a year before the election.

[Kevin Oaks @QuickEThoughts]

@PKhakpour It was so tone deaf! Like, people were panicking that they were about to die and these people thought singing, "imagine there's no heaven" would be comforting 😅

[Kevin Oaks @QuickEThoughts]

@PKhakpour I also think GA is a tossup like it has been for the past eight years. The ground game there from both parties seems so intense, it's difficult to say for certain which way they'll go.

[Kevin Oaks @QuickEThoughts]

@PKhakpour I am not sure if they can be paired together like they traditionally are on that issue. But data of past elections links them together in general, so if we set aside my speculation, it's more reasonable to think they will both be blue or both be red

@ldsfootnotes "Walking pornography" was another term I heard.

[Kevin Oaks @QuickEThoughts]

@suehallie @hemantmehta Which seems odd to say that is worse than being involved with the sexual assault of children.
