@SenTinaSmith Thanks for speaking out forcefully on this issue. Not only have I known such bosses in the past but I also know some good, hardworking people who work for the public in federal gov. jobs and face the daily uncertainty of this administration in addition to this most recent insult.

@egavactip It clearly sparks your interest. And you’ve got plenty of water if you need a bucket brigade in case of emergency.

@egavactip The same legislator has serious concerns about proposed gun control laws. https://t.co/hj7e77ByZk

@KevinMKruse Has anyone noticed that Pepto Bismol clearly missed its chance to become the official diarrhea medicine of the Barbie Movie?

@alixabeth I had him in seminar as a grad student many years ago at Wash U in StL. I came to appreciate why so many of his colleagues and students fell under his scholarly spell. I always loved his NZ accent.

@JoWolffBSG Isn’t this the kind of conversation you have with a person who’s clearly had too much to drink but to whom you’ve yet to explain you urgently need to leave to go home.

@CMcKNichols No sign of any robber baron spouses around that table, so Hattie Green will have to serve as a stand-in for Robert Menendez’ wife, I suppose.

@sendaulas Not for this one, and not a lot of my close white friends, relatives, and colleagues. But your prediction is a very scary one, making it even harder to get that DJT booking photo out of my head.

@JoWolffBSG The perfect analogy for the Republican primary campaign. Grease fire =Trump. Person pouring water on grease fire=other Republican candidates. Predictable results.

@JoWolffBSG Ah, but in a pinch: “History tells us . . .”

[Chuck Piehl @ckpiehl]

@JoWolffBSG My question is whether this could be considered animal cruelty.

[Chuck Piehl @ckpiehl]

@JoWolffBSG Are British squirrels less acrobatic than American? The arms race for control of birdfeeders here has led to a "Yankee Flipper" feeder on which a squirrel's weight activates a battery-powered rotating mechanism to fling the invader. https://t.co/KSBdcSl0IZ

@JoWolffBSG I won’t be able to deny myself the joy of being told about this podcast multiple times each day?

[Chuck Piehl @ckpiehl]

@JoWolffBSG #1 is essential; #2 has been optional for some, but may not be as necessary for others in coming decades.

@JoWolffBSG She beat you to the title if not the topic. Some say historiography is dead, but Steedman proves otherwise. https://t.co/cSY6mSzHwK

@JoWolffBSG Obama’s comments in 2008 about guns, religion and more led to the same sort of Republican anger followed by proud acceptance of being derided. https://t.co/9lhKRFiqQg

@JoWolffBSG Read at an academic conference session to see who’s awake?

@JoWolffBSG Decades ago, I bought about 10 reels of microfilm of an obscure publication. I carelessly left my car—box of films inside—overnight on a dark street, where it was broken into. The confused and frustrated offender took nothing, but unspooled all reels before puncturing the tires.

@JoWolffBSG Are you discounting the appeal of often quite complex conspiracy theories among this segment of the population.

[Chuck Piehl @ckpiehl]

@DavidRobjant @JoWolffBSG @lottelydia The danger of squinting into a small phone screen. An explanation, not an excuse, however.
