So much going on in the #fusion realm. @thomas_overton breaks it down, fresh in @POWERmagazine’s May issue. https://t.co/TbWQmGtrlM

@questauthority Here's the thing about food allergies: They're an excellent opportunity for parents to explain that lots of activities you may enjoy can actually be hurting other people. That is – or should be – a key life lesson that applies to things far beyond nuts.

@RMFifthCircuit Something like this happened to someone I know.

@Gsb_Esq 2400 is insane

@NataliaAntonova I think there may be some people who don't appreciate who "the National Guard" actually is

[Tom Overton @thomas_overton]

@NataliaAntonova I also think that few people really appreciate the *enormous* amount of information that's available online for cross-referencing. It doesn't take much anymore.

I loved my time on the law review, but no, you do not *have* to be on one by any means

[Tom Overton @thomas_overton]

I was on two journals, including the @UCLALawReview but the main impact was to induce me to leave Big Law and go into STEM publishing, so...

[Tom Overton @thomas_overton]

@questauthority I suspect there actually *are* some dusty Cold War–era plans like these sitting around somewhere in the basement of the Pentagon, but the first item is probably something like "Take control of public airwaves by occupying Rockefeller Center" and they don't get better from there
