@TSindelar Madness. The only way to survive podcasts is to treat them as a river you dip into only occasionally, with certain exceptions that you follow more thoroughly.

Reading Twitter in Philadelphia to figure out how to get safely home. Anyone tweeting “har har har Democrat city” should go find a fucking toddler and learn from them some human empathy, you goddamn sociopaths.

@abigailvr Disturbing but better than most I’ve seen. I can picture this crawling out of the uncanny valley in a few more iterations.

Another Senate hearing on Covid, another spat between Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Dr. Anthony Fauci. But watch as Dr. Fauci dismantles Sen. Paul's Covid-19 agenda in real-time:

@atlauren Agreed. I've watched it multiple times. And saw it cold the first time.

@abigailvr 2022 will be the year of the year and we will be able to get it back to you. I think your iPhone is more literate than mine.

@matthews_p Really, it should not be necessary to put Artificially Flavored on the label

[Jeff Porten @jeffporten]

@matthews_p Hey, at least we know they're not Holocaust deniers, too

[Jeff Porten @jeffporten]

@matthews_p Because you shouldn't be shocked, shocked about the gambling in a 51-50 establishment. A progressive bill is not the preference of around half the Democrats. I agree this is odious (and don't buy it entirely until negotiations are done), but I can see how it got on the table.

[Jeff Porten @jeffporten]

@matthews_p C'mon, this is transparently something that's necessary to get to 50. Probably for Manchin or Sinema, but it could be someone else threatening to bolt. Calling compromises "Democratic policy" is a stretch.

[Jeff Porten @jeffporten]

@matthews_p IMO, unless it's The Wire, in the age of unlimited television there's no reason to give a slow boil any rope.

[Jeff Porten @jeffporten]

@matthews_p Is "hey, you lookup?" the Excel booty call?

[Jeff Porten @jeffporten]

@matthews_p Including the misspellings in both names, he's Bizarro you.

[Jeff Porten @jeffporten]

@matthews_p I think you should get sponsored by Red Bull and Blue Apron and use the split P as your logo.

[Jeff Porten @jeffporten]

@matthews_p Speed and precision are key when it comes to typos in hashtags, too.

[Jeff Porten @jeffporten]

@matthews_p @stack_janton99 @SwingandaMish Yes, but we'll die happy

[Jeff Porten @jeffporten]

@matthews_p Also unfit to hold opinions, forth in public, or a puppy.

[Jeff Porten @jeffporten]

@janecoaston @matthews_p I had nightmares after reading several Holocaust books, including Elie Wiesel. And I damn well need to read them.

@matthews_p Note to self: whom to ask to write them for me
