If you're interested in the U.S. Civil War, I published a collection of 77 poems by my great-great-grandfather - a soldier in the 21st Ohio Light Artillery.

I want to be the @AlasdairStuart of music - well-informed, upbeat, and endlessly enthusiastic.

Musick is a verb - and All Kinds Musick!

Wait 'til you find out about the rapist who tried to overthrow the U.S. government after losing reelection and stole classified documents to hide in his bathroom. Oh, and he turns out to have been a Russian asset while serving as president... I don't think his name was Biden, tho

[Senator John Cornyn @JohnCornyn]

Will plead to 2 misdemeanors only. Hard to believe that he would have gotten such a sweet deal if his name wasn't Biden.

@AlasdairStuart As a GenXer, I thought we outgrew "naming things X/Xtreme/Edge".

I guess not.

[Tad Callin @tadmaster]

Oh, cool - a new* way to attack poor people by pretending to care about their well-being.

*It's also not new.

Billions in taxpayer dollars are funding the obesity epidemic. That should end this year when we pass the Farm Bill.

Read my latest op-ed in Newsweek with @RepMMM on what Congress should do to make SNAP a nutritious food program again.

I scored 15/20 on MIST, better than 53% of the US population. Test your misinformation susceptibility now! What is #YourMIST? 🧐 https://t.co/0sWbD2qIl8 #misinformation #fakenews

@LouisWoodhill @AlexandraErin @piper4missouri Sounds to me like you're inserting yourself into an issue where you claim to have no interest.

[Tad Callin @tadmaster]

Hat tip to @KevinMKruse and Kevin Levin for their public work in exposing the Lost Cause narrative for what it is.

@LouisWoodhill @AlexandraErin @piper4missouri I guess Louise thinks that she has no right to tell others how they should refer to her. Doing so oversteps the boundaries of their liberty, which she would never ever do.

Laura Loomer in 1949: I do not have long Polio, as the vaccine-addled Left would have you believe. I simply remarked that the quality of the sidewalks and floors these days make it impossible to walk anymore. Commie Harry Truman has ruined surfaces.

I would love to watch @SlacktivistFred and @electricalWSOP discuss this at length.

I work in an arcane field where the job requires specific technical knowledge, built on a ladder of understanding and breakthroughs going back over 100 years. It's not immunology but it's not nothing.
