Thread. A cautionary thought: the GOP can read polls. They *know* that a solid majority of Americans intensely oppose them on abortion, gun control and insurrection (to name but a few). They know these are big losers, in national electoral terms. Yet they persist.
Hey @NYPD79Pct, 4 officers in their blues just rang my doorbell and walked away laughing at 5:15 am. Through my window I watched them ring my next door neighbor’s and do the same thing. One of them joked about asking for butter?? @NYPDCommAffairs@NYPDPC
At the bar, talking about being in our (technically late) thirties with friends and the advice we’d give the 25 year olds sitting next to us: It just keeps going. Guys… it just keeps going. #life

Creating “content” and APIs from a standpoint of a consumer economy is unsustainable. https://t.co/ICPUb7LT4W
This is 76 yr old Gwen Levy who was returned to prison for not answering a call from her federal probation officer while in this computer class. They told her lawyer, “because she could have been robbing a bank, [we’re] going to treat her as if she was robbing a bank.”
NYPD cops (including the notoriously violent Strategic Response Group aka SRG) violently cleared Washington Square Park earlier tonite. Multiple violent arrests inside the park. Cops followed & chased people until they were multiple blocks away from the park.

What we learned in 2020? That oil is worthless in a society without consumption. That healthcare has to be public because heath is public. That 50% of jobs can be done from home while the other 50% deserve more than they’re being paid. That we live in a society, not an economy.
Still thinking about the time I was at a role playing party and the character I came up with was based on the wendigo and a girl accused me of just copying Hannibal but I’d never seen it and she didn’t believe me? Girl, stuff existed b4 fandom.
