Well @flyfrenchbee has a flight full of families heading to EWR from ORLY who pre purchased seats together l, but who were separated from their children anyway. Indifferent customer service. Don’t pay for seats on this lousy airline. They don’t honor it.

[Corey Colyer @cjcolyer]

@TheAtlantic why is your customer service unreachable? I put in a subscription assistance request and you just closed the ticket.

I can’t reach anyone by phone. Y’all are losing a subscriber. Which is a shame. I like your journalism.

@MOQuinn62 @sociologyWV W/r/t your 2nd point, we found the problem goes even deeper. (A) Indeed, it justifies risky behavior; but (B) it encourages reckless behavior (some women quickly consume their cocktails to avoid leaving a vulnerable drink unattended while they dance).

[Corey Colyer @cjcolyer]

@wvEsquiress @Lisa_Asillie @SenCapito @WVNews247 No.. it’s an above the line deduction. So it can be used with along with the standard deduction. (I’m not defending it, just clarifying).

[Corey Colyer @cjcolyer]

@sociologyWV Well.. I’ve never been accused of making smart arguments. Point taken. It’s almost as if the quote tweet you referenced isn’t particularly interested in good faith argument. Yet…. Following the debates about immigration policy, I’m not sure the other side is either.

[Mike Cosper @MikeCosper]

If you’re mad about one set of pardons and not the other today, you’re committed to partisanship, not norms or rule of law.

Never have i felt more committed to my politics of “a plague on both their houses.”

@lonecrim @eurocriminology I too am eager to see this book in print. I taught a course on punishment and social control this past semester and unwittingly centered it on bond theory. John Irwin’s book on the jail animates many of Hirschi’s propositions.

Just finished a wv phone political poll. Questions were legit, but holy cats was the interviewer bad. I’d be careful interpreting any data that comes out about WV races.

[Steven Allen Adams @stevenadamswv]

I just retweeted this, but I’m doing so again because this might be one of the craziest reads of the week. So allegedly, a CPS investigator tried to interview the mother under the guise of being one of her attorneys? https://t.co/1qLqKPrqiC

[Corey Colyer @cjcolyer]

@Tyler_A_Harper @Musa_alGharbi @TheAtlantic I want to jump on the praise train. While appropriately brutal in its takedown, you show your work building your case. Your piece presents a model for "critical thinking" and I'm going to have my students read it for that purpose.

[Corey Colyer @cjcolyer]

@stevenadamswv They set bond at $42,000? For misdemeanors? (Albeit 42 counts, but still… ) Why? In what world does that make sense?

[Corey Colyer @cjcolyer]

@bitmapped I wonder if that's to resolve the poorly designed parking lot egress from Lot #7.

[Corey Colyer @cjcolyer]

WV politics encapsulated in one tweet

[Brad McElhinny @BradMcElhinny]

a question about closing the GOP primary has morphed into a discussion of who supports Donald Trump the most

[Corey Colyer @cjcolyer]

@stevenadamswv Point of clarification: the video shows quarters going down the drain, not dimes. What’s Mr. Miller going to do with the extra 15 cents?

[Corey Colyer @cjcolyer]

@CarisaCollins I just found the paper. These are complicated estimates. While I remain skeptical of the projections (I think they are too high by a large factor), they convincing show a net increase in post-ban rape-related births.

[Corey Colyer @cjcolyer]

@CarisaCollins While I’m sympathetic to the position, these estimates are suspicious. If they are accurate, then fully 8% of live births in WV are due to rape. Moreover the NIH estimates ~32k rape related pregnancies per year for the entire country. Does WV contribute half of those?

[Corey Colyer @cjcolyer]

Alex Mooney’s campaign is running negative push polls in West Virginia. Dude makes Jim Justice look honest.

[Corey Colyer @cjcolyer]

@WeedenKim @JukkaSavo Where are the other games and how do I get an invite? I went back to ASA for the first time I years in August. Don’t plan to go back.

[Corey Colyer @cjcolyer]

@robertgp421 I just started using Audio Hijack on my M1 Air to capture lectures. It has a transcription block powered by Whisper. I imagine this is a much smaller library than yours, but my Mac (16g/ram) seems to handle this just fine. I need to learn more about these libraries.
