@JohnHMcWhorter In the TV show "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis" (1959-1963), the beatnik character Maynard G. Krebs used "like" in this very way, before it was generally common.
@BrianLehrer@s_nessen@WNYC@brianlehrer the subway doors have to be glass so the cops and the rest of us can see through them and know what is going on, good, bad, or indifferent
@BrianLehrer In the 1980s, I was a coder in the telecom industry. At least half of the coders were female, including project leaders like me. What happened after that? Why did that regress?
@BrianLehrer Read "The Trial of Adolph Hitler" by David King to find out what can happen when a wannabe dictator gets a public forum in a "treason trial" like Hitler's 1923 Beer Hall Putsch trial.
@BrandyZadrozny@nandoodles@pastpunditry I so love that you ended this segment with music by Scott Joplin from the movie "The Sting," -- because that's what this is!!!
@BrianLehrer@NYCMayor An N95 mask is single use. The internal filter breaks down after a short time of use - maybe less than an hour. You can't just give people one mask for everyday all day use. You will have a false sense of security. Health care workers who are re-using masks are at risk too.
@BrianLehrer @RepSeanMaloney I wonder if some of these extreme trump allies/defenders in the House, who vilify patriots doing their duty--are from extremely gerrymandered deep red districts, and there's just no other way to be if they want to keep their jobs.
@donlemon I really need someone to explain the congressional allocation of $1.83 billion for 55 miles of barrier-fence-whatever. That's $33.2 million per one stupid mile. What?!
@donlemon The banjo player at the Grand Old Opry blacked up into the 1960s. The "Black and White Minstrel Show" was on TV in the UK into the 1970s, and then ran as a West End show into the 1980s. (Men blacked up, women not). More education needed.
@CharlesMGust@SpeakerPelosi I don't think the "president" will.He cornered himself.I wish we dems would start making proposals/asking questions every day. Get this over, get the people back to work, and get on with unelecting this "president" in 2020.
