@deha405@ThePhillySpud@KimIversenShow The utter inability to experience cognitive dissonance defines them: Hypocrisy is habit, and irony is incomprensible to them.

@NYorNothing Good idea to keep track of for perspective, but what ratio between the two do you think is a good tradeoff? 6 hours of happy one day a week is not enough to offset 6 days of suffering? (Doubt that's what you're suggesting; assume mean many times more good hours than bad days.)

BREAKING: Pennsylvania’s highest court has overturned Bill Cosby’s sex assault conviction after finding that an agreement with a previous prosecutor prevented him from being charged. The 83-year-old comedian has served more than two years in prison. https://t.co/1MufDs2yjP
@77Persephone Not disappointed, btw. If you didn't know who Elvis Costello was, I'd be disappointed. And your answer to the League question was spot on delightful!
