@GailSimone But will you endorse a leader for the Uncanny X-Men?

[Jered Heeschen @bimble]

@drvolts Flawless logic. "Nixon got re-elected despite the Watergate coverage, so why did the press waste energy on it?"

[Jered Heeschen @bimble]

@BillOlazur @atrupar What a difference active voice can make in not downplaying the bad stuff.

[Jered Heeschen @bimble]

@notcapnamerica I think he misspelled "job".

[Jered Heeschen @bimble]

@fakehistoryhunt The trouble is that "Gogh" starts with a "G", so I want to say it. It would have been better if he spelled his name with a cough drop instead.

[Jered Heeschen @bimble]

Yeah, that's what I need, X. For a post from Elon Musk (I don't follow him) to show up in my notifications that simply reads, "Just wow ..." Maybe stick to notifications about posts from accounts I follow? And if you're going to force others on me, maybe make them interesting?

[Jered Heeschen @bimble]

@cwarzel Well, it's not like they could get an actual photo of Trump holding a kitten. Trump would undermine their message by taking a bite out of the cat before the photographer would be ready. Dude loves eating kittens. Known fact.

@FrankConniff @MST3K City Limits was my first MST3k episode. "This is CNN. Get off my land," has always stuck with me. He will definitely be missed.

@edzitron "Trump was endorsed by a genocidal eldritch entity. Here's why that's bad news for Kamala Harris."

[Jered Heeschen @bimble]

@drvolts @JamesFallows Good choice. I've tried getting people to call me "Master" because of my MS, but it never caught on.

@dggoldst I've been using Kagi instead of Google, which at least cuts down on garbage results I need to sift through. They have an LLM I can query, and there are definitely some good results for certain subjects, but I end up verifying sources just as much as I would with a general search.

[Jered Heeschen @bimble]

@fakehistoryhunt I'm wondering about the building behind the weirdly seated Founding Fathers. A mausoleum? Why do only some of them get a table? Why does it have a tablecloth outside?

[Jered Heeschen @bimble]

@GailSimone Shows should consider swapping casts now and then to mix things up. I would have liked to have seen an episode of 60 Minutes hosted by the Munsters.

[Jered Heeschen @bimble]

@MattBinder At least it looks like Trump has a fallback career for after he loses - that quote would be right at home on the back of a smutty romance novel.

[Jered Heeschen @bimble]

@FrankConniff @JohnFugelsang I'm sorry, I think I misread your post. It looked like someone admitted they were wrong on the Internet.

[Jered Heeschen @bimble]

@5afe_ @BobbyBigWheel @dappergander There isn't a crown in The Last Supper, either. Though I admit, the way it looks to me was that the headpiece on the person in the middle was a misdirect - get people thinking about Last Supper, then make it clear that it was Feast of the Gods.

[Jered Heeschen @bimble]

@GailSimone It's possible that people are avoiding you because you keep throwing ping pongs in the air. Just throwing that out there.

[Jered Heeschen @bimble]

@upine @RottenInDenmark Haidt using bad sources doesn't put the onus of disproving his assertions on everyone else. It means he didn't prove his assertions. Besides, what he mentions can have other causes - e.g., social clustering of a stigma can be from those clusters being more accepting than others.

[Jered Heeschen @bimble]

@Absolutely__Ash @EvilDoerPosting @bittybeetles @BimbleWizard I forgive you. But seriously, a wizard is _always_ better.

[Jered Heeschen @bimble]

@emptywheel Trump being Trump, it's hard to tell if using Jackson means there really is some finding that they don't want to be made public, or if the issue is that Trump doesn't trust anyone who isn't an absolute kiss-ass to put out a statement for him regardless of how good or bad it is.
