"'These sightings are not rare or isolated,' said Graves, who served in the Navy for over a decade. 'Military aircrews and commercial pilots, trained observers whose lives depend on accurate identification, are frequently witnessing these phenomena.'” https://t.co/vOYItq27bW

@PamelaStadden @mhdksafa You’re kidding. I’ve never had anyone check my receipt at the door to ensure that I received the “sale” price. Now could they? Given that they’re just scanning to make sure all the items in the cart are on the receipt and I’m not walking out with something.

@AlisaValdesRod1 This is a familiar story that has been repeated throughout American history.

Steve Ditko died 5 yrs ago today. When I was a kid, Steve wasn't in fashion. Some called his art passé, culturistas ignored him. Today Steve's work hangs in galleries, etc. The better part of discretion isn't conceit but willingness to look twice *before* a thing is deemed clean.

@ParkerMolloy You wonder if at some point all his anti-business antics will backfire. Not with Disney moving, but corporate donors quietly deciding he isn't trustworthy when it comes to their interests.

@_alice_evans I wonder how many of those who believe in hell think they’re already in hell?

Unarmed queers in a gay bar in Colorado Springs were able to do what hundreds of armed men couldn't do in Uvalde.

@CathyReisenwitz An example of magical thinking perhaps?

@vpapako @existentialcoms He should be now that Musk has destroyed so much of Tesla’s stock value. Of course Musk also managed to sell a huge chunk of his own stock. So he does know when to get out of burning building —that he set on fire.

@CathyReisenwitz @ncose Well they have to find some kind of irrational moral panic to raise funds for — now that witches and Satanists are out of fashion.

@lowkell @BloombergUK The primary reason for the existence of the British royal family is to promote tourism. So it’s economic. Just like their primary export is movies and TV shows. So the economy is based on the Queen and Dr. Who.

@CathyReisenwitz Sadly these are exactly the reasons conservatives - especially Christian conservatives - want to ban abortion. Punishment for “sin” is a feature of the Christian world view.

@pekkerwud @mattyglesias In a scene in Hawkeye you see “Thanos Was Right” restroom graffiti.

@ParkerMolloy The short answer: no. They’re much too busy to bother with the great unwashed.

@AnnieAndrewsMD Every child should be so armed.

@TheHazelHayes @hollycombe @NickFletcherMP Wow! The Doctor is more powerful than I imagined. Is her ability to make young men commit crimes limited only to those who watch the show? Or does it travel through the air?

[Randy Southerland @Southwrite]

@MollyJongFast @susiebright So they are banning books based on attention and protests “elsewhere” but not in their district? That’s really standing up for free speech. 🤔🤔🤔
