This story about a tech start-up capturing your wasted time and selling it back to you is TOO REAL! 😲 #SFF

@DierdorffHannah Congratulations! Just ordered a copy at your press.
FWIW I run https://t.co/kBdz0wnsZr and would happily reprint a piece if you're willing (I'm a fellow Spokanite, also my daughter is in your writing class at McDaniel)

Looks like I overestimated the American people.

This election isn’t over, but this should have been the biggest electoral landslide in history.

It’s like people are actively voting for America to fail.

[Ben Parzybok @sparkwatson]

It was an absolutely fantastic and vital read, and so well written. Thank you for your work @KerryHowley

i just saw a chilling video from Springfield. a man speeding home from work found a glowing green uranium rod in his trousers and threw it out his window, nearly hitting a skateboarding boy with it.

Trump’s constant lies have consequences. America deserves better.

Haitians in Springfield, Ohio, are keeping their children home and reporting damage to their property as anti-immigrant conspiracy theories spread, fanned by statements by Trump and Vance https://t.co/aYaEK06uhb

. @migold
I'm trying to figure out why this is a @nytimes article.
Does the times report on when the Harris campaign says Trump rambles incoherently? This just seems like free air time to a candidate. What are the motivations of the paper here?

Thi is existential stuff. Should be at the top of the American elections debates.

The whole purpose of the postmenopausal female is to lead a rebellion against a lingering empire.

[Middle Age Riot @middleageriot]

The Republican definition of election interference is when Democrats interfere with elections by getting more votes.

[Ben Parzybok @sparkwatson]

Ha! Don’t tell JD…

[JLC @lbdg]

I hope a side effect of #CouchGate is this awesome novel by @sparkwatson getting more exposure.

I loved the book at least as much as JD Vance loved…

[Ben Parzybok @sparkwatson]

+1 in favor of a Kamala Harris candidacy
