Two things can be true.

My rules for staying sane on Twitter:

1) Block accounts who are jerks to you OR others in their mentions
2) Be polite (not a jerk!) to people in their mentions even when disagreeing
3) Try to follow people who have thoughtful/distinct takes, but also arnt jerks

LA is another jurisdiction I'm glad I don't have to make the choice of who to vote for.

A failed NIMBY mayor, a socialist, and a reactionary? No thanks.

@StatisticUrban If you had to make 2020/2016 comparisons, El-Sayed is the Bernie Wing, Stevens is the Biden/Clinton wing, and McMorrow is closer to Warren/Buttigieg.

@RubenGallego If we are to raise taxes shouldnt it go to people who need it the most? Young families, children in poverty?

@CAFranchise @electionsjoe If someone is a Mahan backer, I don't think its clear they would want Steyer.. or Becerra.

@bdquinn Rahm Emmanuel was actually pretty good at his job...

@SenatorLuma Sports is a good way to bond with fellow transplants.

Which was endlessly frustrating for someone like me who just really has to put in a lot of effort to care about sports

@constans We need more popular media where the rebels are the bad guys, and the good guys are the flawed but decent status quo

@CharlesFLehman @PeterMoskos A lot of liberals are very conservative when it comes to identities they prioritize.

A lot of people are very conservative about identities they strongly associate with and engage in a lot of gatekeeping.

But part of what makes America and our cities great, is their openness to new comers.

@SethBorman @sp6runderrated I went to a Michelin starred restaurant in Portugal and my favorite part of it was they regularly refilled my glass with cold water

[Forrest Sholars @fsholars]

@SethBorman @sp6runderrated If Europeans like and demanded cold tap water, it might be a lot better, even without tipping!

[Forrest Sholars @fsholars]

@SethBorman @sp6runderrated Its extremely hard for me to tell how much bad service in Europe is because of (lack of) tipping or differing expectations of service.

@Wilson__Valdez Put all marinade in bowl or plastic bag, for a few hours in fridge..

Then grill. Also make some veggies and potatoes or rice

[Forrest Sholars @fsholars]

@Wilson__Valdez 1) get chicken thighs next time.
2) take a beer use as marinade base. Add garlic powder, , onion powder, worcheshire sauce (or mustard), splash of apple vinegar, splash of olive oil (skip if really want lower calories), added bit of pepper at end, add cayenne if want heat

[Forrest Sholars @fsholars]

@PeterMoskos @JohnSurico This is pretty common in DC, especially if you are are being literal about being born in DC!

@ksusys @bdquinn @jbarro I voted in CA from 2002 to 2014. Ultimately I just think CA could do better and not effect 99 percent of voters, but make it 50 percent quicker. Its a choice that CA is slow. Since northam Administration ive never felt VA voting in difficult. But we count lot quicker than CA

Yes this is right. Besides the start and end of employment, HR is mostly pretty boring and sometimes important stuff

[sp6r=underrated @sp6runderrated]

100% this. Here are my HR interactions:
1. onboarding
2. layoffs.
3. When I asked them about transferring they told me procedures.
4. Required yearly training.

I never think of HR and consider it a massive red flag if you're dealing with HR all the time.

@egreghost From chicken to egg no doubt

@huzzahmpls @xenocryptsite Actual corporate HR is talking about your 401k and health benefits
