If you think democracy is a spectator sport, you're in for a rude awakening.

@guygavrielkay Shouldn't that have been signed by your cat? 🙂

[Brian Gilstrap @icebrg]

@neiltyson @StarTalkRadio So sorry to hear this.

@StevenBrust If Vlad had stuck with his original approach to things, how long would he have lived?

[Brian Gilstrap @icebrg]

@JohnFMauldin @nytimes @AlexEpstein @BjornLomborg You're wrong on this.

[Brian Gilstrap @icebrg]

@Aaron_English Perspective means a lot (just back from the Rockies) 🙂. But it looks just as sweet by any other name…

@dailydirtnap Practice. Learn to relax. Start very slowly. Learn to be very precise in execution. Speed comes with these. Stringed instruments are different than the ones you have played before.

@StevenBrust There’s deep disconnects on “capitalism” (a big part of the problems) but fundamentally I agree. Perhaps more simply:

You have to believe others are human beings worthy of respect; we treated it as “built in” but it wasn’t ensured like we hoped.

@dailydirtnap They cheat on the structure of the tax system. Much more effective, sadly.

@CliffordAsness @zamishka So, by obvious you mean it was written about previously, right? Do please share.

[Brian Gilstrap @icebrg]

@dailydirtnap Do you really make posts about “death and destruction” with photos indicating you’ll use a baseball bat on your opponent?

[Brian Gilstrap @icebrg]

@YieldShark What do you make of the announcement that BP plans to buy TravelCenters of America and it's affect on TA’s senior notes?

[Brian Gilstrap @icebrg]

@cyunker So, basically Elon doesn’t want to support the basic 2FA my local credit union can somehow afford?

[Brian Gilstrap @icebrg]

Final nail in the coffin. If I don’t pay, Twitter refuses to provide secure access.

[Brian Gilstrap @icebrg]

@richeisen Indeed it does, with fair regularity, for both my mom and my dad. Mom’s been gone more than 25 years, and Dad almost 17.

[Brian Gilstrap @icebrg]

@mhdksafa Yes.

[Brian Gilstrap @icebrg]

@dailydirtnap Because the father hasn’t exactly been showing loyalty to the son.

[Brian Gilstrap @icebrg]

@dailydirtnap Pity the loyalty seems to only go one way…

[Brian Gilstrap @icebrg]

@dailydirtnap Exactly how does one defeat an idea? Sigh…

[Brian Gilstrap @icebrg]

@marceelias Deep gratitude from me as well, sir!
