@flannellawyer @jorgedta I'm a little disappointed tbh. Would have made my morning if they sent that out with everyone's email addresses exposed.

This is @joshtpm’s best take across all genres of criticism.

I'm not sure this is true for SftD. But as a big childhood fan of the Beatles - big big big fan - over the years I've come to a similar opinion: the Stones were/are the better band. For the Beatles, the music prior to 1967 seems v dated, not stuff I need to listen to.

@bcuban Congratulations, Brian!

My Easter wish is that we will extend this path and grace to all formerly incarcerated persons.

@tigerkite You could pick almost any bars from that song and they would be a classic. Next bars: "Birthdays was the worst days; now we sip champagne when we thirsty."

@bradheath To add another layer to the weirdness, the email address in his signature line points to a domain that does not exist.

Good lord, Amanda Gorman is an incredible poet. That was one of the most moving things I've ever heard at a presidential inauguration. #InaugurationDay

[Joseph Schaeffer @jvschaeffer]

Amanda Gorman was moving. What an amazing poem and performance.

This is excellent news. The DOJ should also oppose the extension of the Heck bar and encourage SCOTUS to revisit it.

[Lawrence Hurley @lawrencehurley]

Under Garland, will DOJ seek to revive Section 1983 AKA the Ku Klux Klan Act, which has been undermined by the qualified immunity doctrine?

@barredindc Did Elkins have a Hill's? That's the one that I remember from growing up in WV. Stone & Thomas was the other.
