I enjoyed Twitter, but I am saying goodbye to X.

You may find me on Bluesky—or better yet, email me.

@elonmusk Maybe you shouldn't lock accounts that post about how you used this website to mislead shareholders.

Because "freedom of speech" right?

@lawzinaj Aren't rhotics emphatic sometimes in Neo-Aramaic?

[Mark Shockley @shjsat]

@PaulaGhete @cremieuxrecueil yeah you might say i'm pretty "concerned" that an unelected foreign-born oligarch, appointed to run a non-existent government department, is sending unidentified teenagers to take over the US budget

In order to erase "diversity," they also erased:

Integrity
Judgement
Emotional maturity
Suitability
Compassion
Respect
Leadership
Conscientiousness
Cooperativeness
Dimensions
Constitution
Initiative
Fairness

That sums up the entire new regime of government perfectly tbh.

@BradRTorgersen @HeyItsCherrry @ZachWLambert Your assumption of bad faith and hypocrisy only reflects on yourself, not anyone at Quantico.

@My_Bro777 @JohnBastian77 @Pastor_Gabe Lest anyone think you were close to the mark on this:
1. ποιμήν is 3rd declension masculine;
2. Greek 2nd declension nouns can be masculine, feminine, or neuter anyway;
3. Hebrew does not mark gender on definite articles;
4. Your biblical argument is an argumentum ex silentio

@My_Bro777 @JohnBastian77 @Pastor_Gabe Thank you for the inspiring lesson. Clearly you ignored my comment because of your ideological comments and still do not know what grammatical gender is.
Apples are female in Spanish, spirits are nonbinary in Greek, swords are male in Latin ...

@TrumpDailyPosts As long as SpaceX won't have to follow rules or pay fines, right?

[Mark Shockley @shjsat]

@jacobhtyler I can see the truth of that, but the way the OP spun it, it just sounds like a fancy version of:

"I against my brother; I and my brother against our cousin; I, my brother, and my cousin against the world."

@CullenBailey3 @SaltyGoat17 @JDVance The irony is that alt-right republicans have changed their tone on so many issues that the party is unrecognizable from 20 years ago—then they paint any conservative who disagrees with them as a ""RINO""

[Mark Shockley @shjsat]

@JamesGrantJ6 @JDVance Or perhaps it was a bad idea to mount an insurrection on behalf of a reality TV star?

[Mark Shockley @shjsat]

@SeniorChief5858 @JDVance well that distinction aged like milk

[Mark Shockley @shjsat]

@julie_kelly2 Is this a bad place to bring up the *175 people* who just got pardoned by this administration for *violent crimes against police officers*?

[Mark Shockley @shjsat]

@JDVance Here's something else that's "fake"
