“Whenever I’m about to do something, I think ‘Would an idiot do that?’ and if they would, I do not do that thing.” – Dwight Schrute

And what is the best way to spot an idiot? Look for the person who is cruel.

@mtgillikin And then they will ask about ideology on admission applications? And recruit for diversity of opinion? Yeah no. Hey, has anyone polled the BOV to make sure we have diverse ideologies among the members?

I’m a sucker for any 300-lb newly drafted NFL player weeping with their family. Every one of them has achieved an impossible dream.

@ajdewerd @DrSZuckerman @DrJenGunter Did you wake up this morning expecting to tweet about underwear all day? 😂

I will sit on the edge of the abyss holding space for the parents who are grieving the unthinkable. But I don't want to be strong anymore. I want my lawmakers to be STRONG. I want their interest in my children's safety to be STRONG. I want my gun laws to be STRONG.

Don't ask me to be #Nashville Strong. I've been #ParklandStrong and #UvaldeStrong and #UVAStrong and #MSUStrong and #NewtownStrong and #SandyhookStrong #HokieStrong and I would've been Columbine Strong if we'd had hashtags back then. I don't want to be strong.

I want my kids' teachers to be soft and kind and curious and dedicated to my kids' well-being. I want them to be happy for my kids when they succeed and understanding when their stress level is high. I don't want them to be preparing for the worst or wondering where they'd hide.

I have posted this before but ..

26 years ago, a gunman entered
Dunblane Primary School in Scotland,
killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK
govt responded by enacting tight gun
control legislation. In the 9400+ days
since, there have been a total of O
school shootings in the UK.

Lots of tweets about virtue-signaling in situations in which I see little virtue at all.

@UMBCAthletics This @UVAMensHoops fan said last night that @UMBC_MBB has had the classiest social media since the 2018 win. Further proof!

@smstreit I once had a pair of jeans with a little super glue on the leg. Perfect place to pick and leave other things alone.

And for me, it’s guard.

Such a funny thread. @MerriamWebster social team, you are the keepers of all things right and good, and thanks for being hilarious while you do it.

What word is your spelling nemesis?

This is a safe space.

@blloyd8298 @kenpomeroy Maybe it’s time to go back to the only stat that matters?

@clhubes I was dismayed to still feel things I had attributed to the baby all along. Nope, just weird things the body does. More fun to think it’s the baby!
