Life without Twitter has been pretty good. I am slowly scoping out a decentralized microblogging place if you want to chat there: https://t.co/gZlNPjD0Ch

@janecoaston @AceAnbender Before the Iowa game I remember Lee Corso saying we should be considering Brian Griese and not just Woodson for Heisman.

This game made sure there was no further such talk.

I happened to see this boat before going into the water. While I didn't get a picture - the name painted on this red tub of a boat with the banners?

"The Donald" Yeesh.

Great to see our supporters spreading the word at the Arch Bridge Celebration.

@TeamDrazan is ready to flip Oregon on November 8.

One small, but simple tweet: if people don't vote for the politicians that will reverse the repeal of safe reproductive health care, it will get worse.

Inflation is happening all over the world, but this curtailment of rights is not. #prochoice

@kyle_toronto @yamnave @iner22 One of the German Nazi party's early actions was to allow most people to have guns. (So much for preventing totalitarian states.)

[James Barta @bartajam]

@kyle_toronto @iner22 So your problem are laws that prevent a law-abiding person - like yourself - from getting any gun you ever wanted.

I hate to break it to you, but an 18 year buying military style weapons is a bigger problem.

[James Barta @bartajam]

@kyle_toronto @iner22 Wait a second. You are arguing gun restrictions are useless since people will ignore the law. But also arguing gun laws restrict people from taking guns into Illinois from Indiana so that Indiana laws have no effect on guns in Chicago.
Which is it?

@jsolomonReports Oregon has had mailin voting for 20+ years with no problems.

Last time I checked there are 1000s of "unmanned" mail boxes in the US for 100s of years containing private info and they have served us well.

Why make up problems where none exist?

A 13-year-old actor tries to buy beer, cigarettes, porn, and lottery tickets, and is turned down every time. Then he walks into a gun show and legally buys a rifle.

@carlaaxt You don't have to be anti-mask to think we should open schools though.
Masks save lives. Open schools are incredibly important for kids and parents.

@molly_wog Wow, the nerd is strong in this one. It took me a moment to recognize this token of Angel's love for Buffy. (To be fair, I'm a bigger fan of the later, darker seasons.)
