~Right-libertarian, but I like to tweet about sci-fi, fantasy, wordplay, language, and tech. I don't hide my beliefs, but I'm open-minded.

Markets are a mechanism for calculation, not a source of moral authority.

I think it is up to each of us to work towards being devoted spouses, grateful children, loving parents, and dear friends who are true to our word, who stand resolute against evil yet forgive those who wrong us, and who lift the spirits of all we meet with kind words and an open heart.

That is, markets can enable us to live good lives, but they won't do the living for us—and they can't supply the good.

@eigenrobot What about more choices for polls?!

@holzprueghel You have no idea how much this gif expresses how my day has gone so far! 🤪

Sorry, friends that all my tweets are just about teaching these days. I just booked a substitute gig for tomorrow. In the morning I’ll be doing kindergarten reading groups and in the afternoon elementary school PE. I warned them that I have a limp and can’t run, but they said that’s fine. Mrs says I need some nylon shorts and a whistle to wear.

@soft_fox_lad were you in my back yard today? 🤪❤️🫂

[ℝeallyℝadley @ReallyRadley]

@lilchiva Aww, thank you! I love all you guys too!

[ℝeallyℝadley @ReallyRadley]

@sneaknsneak Aww, thanks! I’m lucky to have such a great group of friends I met here. My first sojourn on TWTR made me miserable, but when I returned as a pseud, I made so many friends and really have loved it. Thanks for being my friend!

@holzprueghel It’s not a tumor!

Nobody tell Mrs! 🤪

So I have two periods of special ed today. I had to go over their grades with them and it just broke my heart. They don’t seem severely impaired. I volunteered to come back on some days when I don’t sub and work with some of the kids. (We live across the street from the MS.)

@bronzebarbarian @spreadsheeticus @pantinkins @LieutenantRusty Kid3 is visiting today for a dr appt, but after I’m done teaching math to 7th graders, I’m taking her to visit the comic shop run by Theron (whom I call Lews Ther[i]n). So excited.

@holzprueghel Ich weise diese Unterstellerung zurück. Unterstellerung sind ein mutualischer Trick. Diese dürften in den Freundschaften auf X nicht verkommen. 🤪❤️🫂

[ℝeallyℝadley @ReallyRadley]

@holzprueghel Hey, mein Freund. How are you?

[ℝeallyℝadley @ReallyRadley]

@holzprueghel Glad to hear it!

[ℝeallyℝadley @ReallyRadley]

@jeb_bush_2028 @AKermodeBear You’re a wise man, Jeb.

I keep hearing that the economy is growing, but I keep seeing friends getting laid off. What are y'all's impressions of the state of the U.S. economy?

I think that is a real concern. When I was a manager—for many years—I hired some H1B's, but the federal government at least nominally enforced the "only for jobs that you can't find an American to do". That seems to have dissolved. And I keep hearing anecdotes that many push for more H1Bs over qualified Americans. That seems wrong to me.

@AKermodeBear @bobbydbobster When restaurant hosts would ask "How do you spell that?" about my name, I used to wisecrack "Are you gonna write me a letter when a table is available?" Then I realized they were politely saying "You're a mumbler". After a little thought, I settled on the alias "Anderson".
