I came for the memes but I stayed for the hell of it. I do block and yes, it IS personal. I also delete old tweets regularly. Impermanence is everything.

I often wonder if there was ever a cosmological time other than during the period Homo Sapiens has walked this planet, that so much destruction was ever the direct result of purely intentional and malicious means. (for those deductively challenged, the key word is intentional.)

@MorePerfectUS I'm sure all the major newspapers will cover this crime spree with the same diligence they did to the shoplifters.

How many times did Congressman Fallon's companies have debt forgiven from PPP loans?

“The ugly reality is that corporations are buying these homes as potential rental properties, presumably to be occupied by people permanently frozen out of the housing market.”

If 4 cops need 96 shots to apprehend one person they should find new jobs that don’t include guns

If a film is written off for taxes, the content should instantly become public domain. We the tax payers BOUGHT the film at that point, we should be able to see it, and everything associated with it. It is ours, we paid for it.

It was better like this (a la Six Feet Under).

Boomer: At your age in 1970 I paid off college & bought a house w/hard work

Millennials: In 1970 college was 5% of median salary—Now it’s 44%. A median home was $24K—Now its $417K. The top marginal tax rate was 70%—Now its 37%. You worked hard—& then closed the door behind you.

If covid were not a threat then anti maskers would not be bothered by them any more than someone wearing plaid or nikes.

The fact that covid is a threat and they harass ppl over masks means they are out to harm people.

It's that simple.

@johnthomas1536 by “you,” I mean MTG. obviously.

@johnthomas1536 sure…what you see are signs alright, signs of mental instability.

1/4 I travelled to NH this weekend to look at a piece of property I hoped I might buy.
6 acres, divided in half by a pretty creek. One half had been logged at some point, has some small new growth trees, nothing special. ➡️

[Stan Willenbring @StanWillenbring]

2/4 Across the creek is 3 acres of giant glacial boulder beneath 200-yr-old hemlock and cedar, moss as thick as a mattress, alive with small birds and tracks of every kind of animal.
The local authorities have already provided the approved plan for building a home there. ➡️

[Stan Willenbring @StanWillenbring]

3/4 Due to important arcane guidelines, the buyer cannot be allowed to build on the new growth half. The only way to put a home there is to destroy the pristine virgin habitat.
I politely declined to make a purchase bid because I could never do that. But someone else will. ➡️

[Stan Willenbring @StanWillenbring]

4/4
There are good sound reasons for such building restrictions.
It's because humans are incredibly greedy and stupid.

@notafuckinthing @kevinwildes seems you have no sense of wry humor. or jest.

"You can use these to stare directly into the sun for $3."

When people deny the importance of hope and fleeting glimpses of joy I think they have never been to the edge, and come back from it. They don’t have anything to teach you. Not yet. Maybe someday. But right now, they are drowning in a way you cannot offer your life to save them.
