@stephanixmedina I don't blame you for being mad. It isn't like the Democratic Party has radically changed in the last 4 years. You can't help but wonder if the switch is more related to political opportunism than it is to ideology.

@HarveyMushman48 A real bloodbath today. Even Wordlebot took 6 guesses, and it says the average user took 6.3 guesses (which means that a lot of other people must have gone down in flames too).

@vacasarentals @SondraThorsland I have to apologize to VaCasa! It is actually a 3rd party that owes us the refund. I really appreciate how quickly Vacasa helped us to get this straightened out.

[Richard Williams @rw120555]

@vacasarentals @SondraThorsland My wife and I are also having a terrible time getting a refund from you. We aren't even getting form letter responses! Please check your recent emails. Call us if you have Qs. Your properties are nice but it is hard to recommend you when you are so incredibly slow.

This is NOT just a matter of Academic freedom or difference of opinion. This is academic malpractice, and Notre Dame must do more about it.

"The author [of the piece cited by the Buffalo shooter] says he never intended for his article to be used this way. Nevertheless, it was, and it is now his responsibility and Notre Dame’s to do something about it." https://t.co/Lo2HSmZgLa

@JShepard32 Congratulations. You are one of my all-time favorite Notre Dame players.

What factors contribute to academic publishing success? What causes some works to be more widely cited and influential than others? New study by @andr_thor, @rw120555 and myself https://t.co/WZt1RvygUo

Senator Lana Theis accused me by name of grooming and sexualizing children in an attempt to marginalize me for standing up against her marginalizing the LGBTQ community...in a fundraising email, for herself.

Hate wins when people like me stand by and let it happen. I won't.

@MizeTrenton Richly deserved. Your record to date has been awesome. Purdue is lucky to have you.

@DavidAFrench The article is talking about air conditioning during the summer, not heating during winter. At 82, it is going to have to be very hot outside for your AC to run. If you set it to 68 in summer, many people will feel they are freezing and you will burn up a lot of electricity!

After all the devastating negative publicity of the past week, I find it mildly satisfying that Facebook is down today. But unfortunately, I can't post all my insightful comments on Facebook so I had to switch to Twitter.

@ByGollyMolly12 Congratulations Molly! It is great to see a former student do so well. Winning an Olympic Bronze Medal in only your 3rd marathon is amazing. You were the person I most wanted to see win a medal. Your family must be very proud of you, and rightfully so.

@willgofurther @BrianTScott1 @SteveAJohnston @Allegiant I found this highly suspicious. There was no way I was going to give them bank account info so I asked them to mail a check. Hopefully I will actually get a check and they won't target my house for a robbery.

@PresDanMyersMU @MisericordiaU Misericordia, listen to your wise president. At his old school, Notre Dame, we were averaging over 250 cases a week for a while. Now 90% of our students have been vaccinated and we have had barely a handful of cases since. Our campus life is so much better now. Yours will be too.

It took a long time to create, but the hard copies, all 10 volumes, arrived recently. Pm

[Richard Williams @rw120555]

@TollyTaylor Me neither. I actually learned a great deal about it in a paper written by a student from Tulsa.

This CDC graphic is unreal.

A cautionary tale. https://t.co/f4DHZuPxPx

I haven't looked to see how many religious leaders have set that same example, but our (LDS) church leaders have done the same. https://t.co/XZALEycci6
