@tboypod@NickOfNewYork@jackkramer I would not wear this out in public, but I also don’t think that’s the intent at this point. I would totally wear it in my office to avoid sitting at a desk and to have even more screen space. I see this as solving an ergonomic issue
All life is sacred. Every cell. Our hair, our nails. They all deserve a chance to live. No one has the right to destroy a single living cell. Now that there is no right to personal bodily autonomy the path is cleared to ban all haircuts and nail trimming.

@CharlotteTalks Absolutely! I am now married and own a home; however if not for my student debt we would have purchased a bigger home and otherwise fueled the economy. Instead, we the pay the equivalent of a second mortgage towards my student loans.
How many Republicans out there cashed their “economic stimulus” checks to help them during an economically difficult time using our pooled resources? #socialism#socialismisnotadirtyword#democracy
Let's hope this week every member of our official police and military remember the oaths they have taken to uphold the Constitution, and that their allegiance is not to one man but the ideals expressed in that document.
"When the men with guns, who have always claimed to be against the system, start wearing uniforms and marching with torches and pictures of a leader, the end is nigh. . . .
When the pro-leader paramilitary and the official police and military intermingle, the end has come." Timothy Snyder, "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons From the Twentieth Century"
@CharlotteTalks@tomricks1@CBJspanberg How can Congress be active if it cannot even pass a budget? Where is the distinction between gridlock and a functioning system of checks and balances, and how do we get there?
@CharlotteTalks@tomricks1@CBJspanberg during your interview of @tomricks1 this morning on @CharlotteTalks, please ask him how we are to reconcile his points from his epilogue that gridlock means our system is working, yet Congress is to be "active".
Do you have any recommendations for books that have explored this concept further (i.e., why or how the American Revolution occurred as a political revolution only or how it compared to other revolutions that were accompanied by a social revolution)?
@mikeduncan I am late to the Revolutions podcast and just now listening to 9.02 ("The Cry of Dolores"). You just mentioned a very interesting concept concerning how the Founding Fathers of the American Revolution executed a successful political revolution while avoiding a . . .
social revolution. I think this is very relevant to many of the issues that continue to plague the US to do this day (specifically our inability to adequately confront the sins of our past and reconcile our admiration for our Founding Fathers with their faults). . . .
