Fastest human rower, male or female. It's not often that you see a woman beat a male's world record. Worth celebrating. 🙌https://t.co/U3w7bdFzSA

@BenVerlander The only way this could be worse is if I were on the diamond.

@aiedge_ @RLanceMartin Is this just the Ralph Wiggum loop? If not, what's the difference? Asking for a friend.

@IbnKhaldun732 @VisualCap ... And Texas is very hands-off and business friendly. The little guy is not crushed (as some will claim) but benefits greatly from the prosperity.

@milliyalcock What have you got against dads of four? Or Christians? Or Christian dads of four? And why would they be "the right people to piss off?" Have you learned nothing from Brie Larson and Rachel Zegler? Why not be kind and alienate no one?

[Rap Payne @RapPayne]

@araderbein @milliyalcock Tom Holland is kinda right. Most folks enjoy movies with diverse casts. Most people don't enjoy it when movies are gratuitious and preachy with their diversity. It takes me out of the story. Surely you can agree with that.

@araderbein @milliyalcock Assuming you and Gal and I agree on the definition, I'm a feminist. 🙂

[Rap Payne @RapPayne]

@milliyalcock As a Christian dad of five and a feminist, @millyalcock, if you'll issue a simple mea culpa, I'll go see @supergirl in theaters. Promise! Most people respond favorably to humility.

Attn depression sufferers, if this holds up, creatine is a low cost, low side-effect alternative to depression meds. Even if it doesn't, it's worth a shot.

Way to go, China! Every contribution counts.

[China Science @ChinaScience]

China's expansion of clean energy and green industries has helped lower global renewable energy costs and accelerate energy transition, Achim Steiner, chair of the Hamburg Sustainability Conference (HSC), said on Tuesday.

With limited domestic oil and gas resources, China's shift toward clean energy has been structurally driven, he said. Large-scale domestic investment has lowered the threshold for renewable energy adoption globally, including technologies such as solar panels and wind turbines.

From Will Kaback @TangleNews: It’s fine to disagree with some SCOTUS decisions, but it’s another thing to imply the Court’s majority is little more than a political arm of the Trump administration, then go silent (or even cheer) when the Court behaves like an independent body.

@Shookness4 @Bob634619 @PotOfGreedo2 @LeadingReport Wow. I was unaware they had that option. Good for the team. I also stand by my assertion that if an employee has a moral/ethical objection to a rule, they civilly disobey it and (hopefully) force the employer to change it or suffer the consequences (get fired).

@ScottyBWorld1 @konstructivizm People who read their Bible and internalize it don't call other people doofuses. Matt 5:22

@Bob634619 @PotOfGreedo2 @LeadingReport ... until your boss demands you do something that your ethics prohibit.

[Rap Payne @RapPayne]

This! People who have major differences in beliefs can disagree civilly, seeking to understand their differences and not stoop to vilifying and name-calling. You watching, @potus? https://t.co/y7WkEOxrtR

The divide itself is saddening but it's fantastic that we Americans have a choice to move to a place more aligned with our values. #statesRights. https://t.co/WTNPl9iXb4

They missed it in Texas. Correct answer? Kolaches, especially from West, TX.

Oh my gosh! How many of our kids are going to be scalded before we enact anti-water legislation? I blame big water. https://t.co/FmAd0HrfiZ

I'm good with discount carriers ... Just don't be sneaky about the fees. Be honest about them and don't manipulate me to use them.

[Rap Payne @RapPayne]

I normally mourn the failure of any business - there are humans involved! But b/c of my hatred for how Spirit Airlines made me feel when flying, I'm actually really, really glad.
