@TonerousHyus @tarapalmeri Weird. What’s this about then? https://t.co/bY8vPnrBQn

[Russ G @jrgkgb]

@Decoherent_ @angertab Let me get this straight: You think in a war zone where the hospital is supposedly without power most of the time that they’re running MRIs on dead kids? I’m skeptical they even did X rays. In the best of conditions you don’t want to use a giant magnet on a piece of metal either.

[Russ G @jrgkgb]

@notcapnamerica @KamalaHarris Yeah, all this talk about a “Hugger” in chief is just her justification to say a word that sounds like the one she REALLY wants to say, but can’t.

[Russ G @jrgkgb]

@screencrushnews And finally, early on Deadpool uses the term "ThunderC**T" which is a rather memorable Ryan Reynolds quote from Blade Trinity. https://t.co/Lrl3xUw8NI

[Russ G @jrgkgb]

@screencrushnews Also, the recast Juggernaut is Aaron Reed, who body doubled for @VancityReynolds as the Giant "Dude" at the end of Free Guy, which I assume is a reference to a giant Ryan Reynolds playing Juggernaut himself in Deadpool 2.

@screencrushnews It's in a number of scenes, but if you check the background at 33:13 you'll see the building leaning to the right is Fox Plaza in Century City LA, better known as Nakatomi Plaza from Die Hard.

@sdeasland1 @justinbaragona She was not off topic, but even if she was it’s quite telling your response isn’t “She had her facts wrong” or “What she said isn’t 100% true.”

Mathias enjoying his time on the court this summer. Thanks for sharing!

[Russ G @jrgkgb]

@JaredRyanSears @Jim_Jordan You forgot where he enabled sexual abuse of kids.

[MCB Tennis @mcbtennis]

Big smile for some big trophies. Happy Fourth of July from Mathias!

So wait, can I embed a thread on another network? If so, here’s a picture of Twitter’s remaining technical infrastructure. Also I guess if n... https://t.co/ag0oiKzKf9

@TerryMatalas If she’s a changeling, why does she smoke? Also… why does she have a Reman knife?

[Russ G @jrgkgb]

@Bionicscode @ryanarey @RyancBritt That Faith is bad news. I heard she even killed a Vulcan.

[Russ G @jrgkgb]

@ryanarey Couple things: That approach into Mandalore was very reminiscent of the approach on to Dagobah. Also, the face of the insect droid was very similar to Buzz Droids from Ep3.

[Russ G @jrgkgb]

@ryanarey Also, this looks familiar doesn’t it?

[Russ G @jrgkgb]

@ryanarey Great recap, a few missed: The Shrike staring down the Titan looked just like the Narada facing the Kelvin, and calling the captain by his first name seemed like a callout to that too. Plus, the typeface on the CBS studios credit is out of Trek II, as is the actual starfield.

[Russ G @jrgkgb]

@C_Shaughnessy @BeschlossDC @nytimes @GOP I’d ask if you were aware that the GOP house intelligence committee had absolutely nothing to do with the arrest and in fact hasn’t even met yet, but I don’t feel like facts figure heavily into forming your opinions.

[Russ G @jrgkgb]

@PeterDClack Sigh. These are elements, and of course they aren’t man made. This is a straw man argument as literally no one is saying climate change is caused by man made substances.
