Happy to be supporting this short film from this excellent team. If supporting a "heartfelt coming-of-age comedy with a superhero twist that dares to put people who don’t look like Gal Gadot in a superhero suit!" is your jam please back SuperNed. https://t.co/nTY2onKlbE

@ChaseSupport been on hold for 1:18 with online support for a business account. Awesome doing business with you.

@mirkel I hear you, but only one of the decisions carries the potential for harm to others. Not sure I can see the masking equivalent of the AR-15 in public (or at all, for that matter). Just seems like a different spectrum of decision. Silly doesn't quite cover a lot of the gun toting.

[Conor Risch @c_risch]

@mirkel Certainly there is an element to virtue signaling in outdoor masking today, right now, but where I live people seem to be doing their best with the info they have in a fluid situation. Whereas I think there's a lot of info about guns in our society.

[Conor Risch @c_risch]

@mirkel Equating people who wore/wear masks outdoors, because it was suggested as a health and safety measure at one point, to people who open carry is a stretch. Only one of these groups of people has the potential to end a life if they feel "threatened." Not really the same ballpark.

If the northern lights flash across the sky but no one is able to see it, do they really flash?

[The Seattle Times @seattletimes]

The northern lights might be flashing across the sky tonight, but don’t get your hopes up about seeing it.

A short history of corporate tax rates:

Reagan: 34%
Clinton: 35%
Bush: 35%
Obama: 35%
Trump: 21%

Biden's original plan: 28%
Biden's "compromise" plan: 25%

@cmkshama @RecallSawantNow By the way I live in the district, and the recall signs almost exclusively adorn the lawns of million-dollar homes. I don't agree with what Sawant did, but I'm way more concerned about the state of our public areas and our broken policing system.

[Conor Risch @c_risch]

This @cmkshama/@RecallSawantNow recall effort in Seattle is a waste of time. If she broke laws during the protests, why is this the solution? (Same goes for Durkan and the SPD gassing people). Both groups should quit it and donate the money they've raised to housing.

Well done Smith Rowe. Everyone else - dismal. Arsenal have a lot of serious thinking to do about what they are trying to be and how they are trying to do it.

When I travel the country, I always drop into the best bookstores in each city. It's how you know a place. And Elliott Bay Book Company is a true gem in that magical kingdom of Seattle. A bookstore with true heart and an INCREDIBLE taste filter. Can't wait to return to its stacks

Foster care agencies have been taking money that belongs to some of the most vulnerable children. Most kids never know.

This money is considered the children's property under federal law.

As a co-op member I welcome a rethink of the leadership. Instagram turned outdoor pursuits into a consumerist lifestyle and this is one result. @REI should be leading the fight against the commodification and commercialization of the outdoors. This does the opposite.

[Sammy Roth @Sammy_Roth]

.@REI promoted the Bronco Sport SUV ads with the following subject line: "Load Up. Gas Up. Get Out.” The company tells me that was a mistake.

Also, REI's director of sustainability said he was "not aware of the advertisement before its release." https://t.co/UtvOHtqHrj

When my healthcare provider website is processing online bill payments, their wait cursor is a heart with a beating EKG monitor line. Just a nice little reminder of the connection between by heartbeat and my ability to give them money.

A professor of mine went to go hear Derrida speak once. The entire talk was about cows; everyone was flummoxed but listened carefully, and took notes about...cows. There was a short break, and when Derrida came back, he was like, “I’m told it is pronounced ‘chaos.’”

Something's been bothering me: During international matches, EL footy commentators frequently refer to "a Swiss throw" or "a German free kick." And I wonder, how is a Swiss throw different from other throws? Interesting to consider, yes, but aren't they using bad grammar?

My DISCLOSE Act is pretty simple. If you’re spending more than 10,000 dollars in a federal election, you have to disclose your identity to the public. Like I said, pretty simple. Takes less than 280 characters to explain. #ForThePeople
