If you agree with one of my Tweets, great! If you disagree, just assume it was sarcasm! See, now everyone can be happy!

MAKE IT STOP!

This doesn't even make sense. Maybe (MAYBE!) if this were an AI company it would make sense, but it isn't!

ICYMI: Klarna replaced its CEO, Sebastian Siemiatkowski, with an AI clone to report earnings for the first quarter of 2025. Klarna is the biggest Pay in 4 installments loan provider in the U.S. https://t.co/51APFaeSEP

@michaelmorley11 I honestly thought I was the only one.

I think that's actually sliced roast beef surrounded by a garnish of kale.

Global mining corporations in West Africa are increasingly turning to arbitration to resolve disputes with military regimes as tensions over critical minerals escalate.

@NWADoug Well, 2.5 years later and here’s an example. They “supported” him for president, which he had no chance of, and then he gets nominated as HHS secretary and they now are spending money to oppose him because it turns out they don’t *actually* support him. https://t.co/0dMPPH9BzM

[Andy Taylor @andymtaylor]

@NWADoug Another issue is that if you support a crazy person in the primary, and the crazy person wins the primary, then even if the crazy person loses the general, it still moves the Overton window a bit toward the crazy side.

It was 4 months after 9/11. Maybe Osama funneled a poisoned pretzel to him. I really don’t know.

I’m not really into conspiracy theories but I never bought the official explanation on this one.

[RetroNewsNow @RetroNewsNow]

On January 13, 2002, President George W. Bush fainted after choking on a pretzel in the White House residence while watching a football game. The President fell from the couch to the floor, bruising his lower lip and scraping his face

[Andy Taylor @andymtaylor]

I mean, I don’t really have a better explanation (because, again, I’m not into conspiracy theories so I don’t have a conspiracy theory), I just don’t buy the pretzel theory.

@iowahawkblog I mean, I didn't know if it was "forewent" or "forgone" or what, but I knew if you posted it it was either (1) correct; or (2) meant as irony.

This is an excellent book for any attorney who negotiates (i.e., all attorneys).

I do not care what lie you have to tell but you absolutely positively should not start this tradition if you haven’t already.

@ProfRobAnderson Use lots of headings. Helps in 3 ways:

1. Easier to follow/read.
2. Helps the exam taker stay focused on the specific topic/subtopic being addressed.
3. Easier to transition between topics without having to come up with some segue from 1 part of the exam to another.

Imagine you're about to check into a Hampton Inn and a body goes careening down a hill past you and you have to look at your wife and ask "hey, was that Jay Leno?"

[Andy Taylor @andymtaylor]

Yep!

@dsamuelsohn @woodyreports @USATODAY FWIW, he has now missed 2/5 (or 40%) of the five close elections out of the last 11 elections total. (I don't count the 6 that anyone could have called because they weren't even close.)

[Andy Taylor @andymtaylor]

@dsamuelsohn @woodyreports @USATODAY If he had coin-flipped those, you would have expected him to get 1/2 (or 2 out of 4) right, and 1/2 (or 2 out of 4) wrong. Meaning that he picked got one more correct than if he had coin-flipped them.

[Andy Taylor @andymtaylor]

Where is @wolfblitzer?

[Andy Taylor @andymtaylor]

If he’s right we’ll never hear the end of how his model got it right and if he’s wrong we’ll never hear the end of how it was wrong but it was “less wrong” than everyone else. 🙄

[Andy Taylor @andymtaylor]

LOL.

The man wrote a however-many-word thinkpiece 3 days ago complaining that the polls were all tied and then lo and behold his model is literally tied.
