@joe_hill @neilhimself Everyone dragging Neil for a log of heinous stuff but no one deservedly dragging him for that horror travesty Biffy the Umpire Player, that one about the high school jock who was a football player AND an umpire.

@neilhimself @BeautifulOmens @neilhimself, this is part of the grace I relish in the bonhamie between Aziraphale and Crowley. It's beyond their genders (Fallen Angel and Angel (Retired), or whatever...) Thanks you! (-: (-:

@neilhimself @BeautifulOmens there might be a flow of simple, unregulated friendliness between them, and such flows were one of Finny's reasons for living.

@chrismcdonough @paulweveritt @zopatista @galigan @j1mfulton (Well, partly here. I'm not sure I'm going to pick up Twitter as a full fledged, full-time vice...)

@chrismcdonough @paulweveritt @zopatista @galigan @j1mfulton Thanks, guys! Nice to be here.

In this light, you could see how and why the Trump campaign might provoke hiding. How: "Don't trust pollsters, they're media propagandists !" Why: your constituency is likely to turn out, but the opposition might not be. Don't give opposition high poll numbers to react against.

[ken manheimer @myriadicity]

@NateSilver538, it's unfortunate that notions of Trump voters hidden from polls are framed in terms of "shy Trump voters". Instead, think about them as "indignant Trump voters". Even "contemptuous Trump voters"! Lump pollsters with journalists and you can see how it could happen.

@chrismcdonough This is probably the cardinal rule of sophisticated exposition. The hallmark of a juvenile theatrical writer is resorting to telling people how to feel about the story they're telling. They don't know what's crucial, what moves people on its own.

@FunctorFact @ntakayama Once you solve that, you have to avoid getting feebly lost in pervasive shades of gray everything can seem to have.

@alanalda ... Then back off. Develop a sense of the balance and the gradually increase strength...

[ken manheimer @myriadicity]

@alanalda a way to develop the skill is to practice "lofting" your weight. Start and support your weight for just a moment.

@davclark, I may be doing more harm than good by keeping any presence at all, here. But learning about MayOne.us was worth something... (-:

Beware, @davclark - as you probably see, I don't actually tune in to twitter! )-:

@theRealDevgeeks spiderOakApp.ajax should work - I had thought it through, but forgot. check our IRC for details.

@petrillic @jshell oh, yeah - http://t.co/rgMtthB8I5 is a cool canban accessory for github!
