Twitter is for narcissists with ADHD.

@fasc1nate Alcohol kills germs, duh?

@Rainmaker1973 Also a demonstration that having a clear skill doesn't always mean you're actually doing something with your life.
IMO the eventual lack of socks somehow completes the picture.

@RexChapman Wouldn't "Tyrants overthrown" obviously be....1 (George III)?

@RottenInDenmark I find it interesting however that left of center pundits so often opine on 'what those right wing folks should do' and then believe their opinion has weight with...anyone?
How many times did we hear 'they're voting against their own interests!' the last couple elections?

[Unapologetically 🇺🇸 @sty0pa]

@Rainmaker1973 I mean, I'm totally stealing that look for a badass starfighter.

@HappyHellbender @mattyglesias @LBS_NY Yes, generally it's regarded disarming your subjects is one of the reliable early signs of a police state.
Note that NYC is 2nd only to DC in per-capita police officers.
(And to be clear, in this discussion we're talking about NYC, primarily.)

@djrothkopf At the time of the USSC ruling, a majority of Americans was against gay marriage.
Still think popular vote should be the way we go on complex issues?

[Unapologetically 🇺🇸 @sty0pa]

@kareem_carr You have already implicitly justified black on white crime, was that deliberate?

[Unapologetically 🇺🇸 @sty0pa]

@HappyHellbender @mattyglesias @LBS_NY Yes, so we proved that borderline police states are less dangerous...Is that preferable?

@JamesSurowiecki @_sean_mcadam I don't see a single other country where a crazy ass homeless dude threatening people for years finally crosses a line, and is IMMEDIATELY aggressively excused and defended by half the country.
So yeah, very likely it is us.

[Unapologetically 🇺🇸 @sty0pa]

@JamesSurowiecki We've basically accepted that a bunch of innocent people will regularly get massacred because half of us insist it's the guns fault, despite guns being widely ubiquitous throughout US history.
But yeah, of course, NOW it must be "the guns".
Lol

@elonmusk @amasad So...nobody in Washington DC?

[Unapologetically 🇺🇸 @sty0pa]

@kangminlee To be fair, that's the same lesson our kids are getting in school.
Guess how that's going to turn out when a generation of better disaffected young white men hit their 20s?
Proud Boys might want to start printing out more membership forms now.

[Unapologetically 🇺🇸 @sty0pa]

@mattyglesias Are you asserting there is no ethnic difference in crime stats?
PERSONALLY I'd say the *causal* issues are economic, camouflaged by ethnic disparities in wealth but to assert there is no ethnic difference in raw crime stats is a blatant lie.

[Unapologetically 🇺🇸 @sty0pa]

@mattyglesias Did PEOPLE say racist things, or did TWITTER say racist things? I feel the distinction is important. Don't you?

I mean, that's as dumb as blaming guns for people being murdered.

[Unapologetically 🇺🇸 @sty0pa]

@ianmiles Good.
I have no sympathy for democrats getting exactly what they elected as a society.

[Unapologetically 🇺🇸 @sty0pa]

@soledadobrien Yes, they are absolutely shameful but essential elements of US history.
But focusing exclusively on them is as wrong as ignoring them was.
Why can't you see that?

[Unapologetically 🇺🇸 @sty0pa]

@EdKrassen I get it.
You just want to be the one to draw the lines.
Sadly (for you) this is a democracy. You don't get that power.

[Unapologetically 🇺🇸 @sty0pa]

@NoContextHumans If snickers doesn't win completely, you're probably lying.
