@mnolangray SCAG led cities into all sorts of trouble on their housing elements, essentially reassuring them that their housing elements wouldn’t be scrutinized.

This has to be AI.
1) The winglets are marked in a serif font
2) the KC-135 does not have a mirror (I believe the KC-10 does, but I've not flown those)
3) the anti-collision light on the alleged F-16 is in the wrong place
I have observed night refuelings of F-16 from KC-135.

This sounded like a great idea so we bought our tickets and set off for Ontario in plenty of time. Then our car broke down and somehow we're stuck on the freeway median with a one-eyed hobo and his pack of pit bulls.

Los Angeles folks. Here's a secret. Go to Regal Ontario for The Odyssey in IMAX 70MM. It's better than Citywalk and only one hour away. Plenty of seats still open!

Follow @Itoscaresme. I take great pleasure in seeing their work when I'm trapped in the Twitter.

@ScotCitylink This is just to say

We have delayed

the 9:25 train

From Dundee to Glasgow

and which

you are probably waiting for

right now

Forgive us

There were technical issues

so fresh

and so bold

@mnolangray It’s not straightforward. They’re ending free soda refills at most franchises to discourage lingering. They prefer DoorDash and drive thru business.

@timgill924 Oh sorry Professor Gill, I didn’t realize it was you who posed the question.

[Mike Johnson @mxjohnson]

@timgill924 Living? I’m writing an alternate history novel and Skocpol is an inspiration. Dead? Tilly is up there. Living or dead, all time, all subjects? Why it’s Tim Gill.

[Mike Johnson @mxjohnson]

@John_Barach The bigger problem isn’t long paragraphs.

It’s short ones.

Perhaps it came from pre-digital ad copy. I most associate it with LinkedIn.

I’m quick to dismiss anybody who writes like this.

[Mike Johnson @mxjohnson]

@mnolangray Oh man I met the guy. What a nut.

@lizardschwartz @benn_elisbenn Yeah when they see my tv w/no antenna or satellite hook up, will they make me turn it on to prove I deleted the live tv app thingies? Will they make me show them all my devices?

[Mike Johnson @mxjohnson]

@benn_elisbenn @lizardschwartz We’re like Amy. We have a tv, no antenna/satellite, used for games/Netflix. We never watch live tv on the tv, computer, phones. Live is mostly what, sports? I watched a Super Bowl live maybe 10 yrs ago. Es todo.

Filled out ‘don’t need a license’ webpage but still get nastygrams.

@RobinGalante1 It’s nice to see some movement in your painting! It’s not as tranquil obvs.

[Mike Johnson @mxjohnson]

@VolokhC A brand new informal group sued the city of Ventura, claiming to represent 10 anonymous members. The city attorney thought they could do that, so he didn’t push the issue, and so the case proceeded along until they lost. Still no idea who the anonymous members were!

We were getting off the bus at Euston station & the driver made an announcement when we stopped. "We're on diversion. We're not turning right but going straight. We're not stopping at St Queens or Mouscestershire." Somebody boarding yells Why? "Because Arsenal won. Unbeleeevable'

🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Metropolitan Police confirms that Arsenal's parade is the biggest ever parade held in the country.

Over 1.5 million people estimated.

@jackunheard Honey, can you find our mortgage broker’s insta handle? There’s a fire in the garage.
