@jamieloftusHELP Melanoma got my Dad in 2016, and the ache I get when I sit with stuff like this ep is one of the ways I’m still able to connect with him. Dead-Dad Jamies club 4eva. I appreciate you @jamieloftusHELP 💜
@jk_rowling Jo will give an interview soon where she’ll be like “I only raised some valid concerns about the chromosomal characteristics of a person who I thought looked kind of man-like and the WOKE MOB came to CANCEL ME”
@itsliamsenior I come on twitter once per lunar cycle for a random stupid reason and let myself get caught in the eddies of algorithmically juiced outrage for a little bit, just for fun
@IwriteOK Does anyone have any idea why the body cam cop’s main priority seems to be making sure the cop with the rifle is the one to breech even after they know the room is empty
(and then proceeds to fire his sidearm like a crazy person seconds later)
Hey @CareFirst, any plans to improve your website’s performance? Logging on has been an ordeal for a while. Multiple devices, multiple times of day/days of week.
@DaddyBaggs @VillainousGoo @LyndisWu Genuinely curious what consequences you think will come from people using the bathroom with the sign that most closely resembles who they live their life as
@sleepymurph Honestly the most complex under-the-hood stuff I’ve ever done is when I was in seventh grade, dealing with malware on windows XP and trying to find hacky ways to make video games run on its terrible integrated graphics. The tech UX has broadly gotten way smoother, I think

Like the episode was fine, great investigative journalism and correct criticism of both the uni presidents and the right-wing opportunistic response. But it’s so fundamentally backwards to characterize every point of contention in this broad category as comparable
Pretty wild way for today’s @nytimes#TheDaily episode to end: @nickconfessore editorializing on the campus free speech debate, explicitly saying that we should tolerate identity-based, explicit bigotry on campus because “it’s okay to be offended sometimes”
?????? @mikiebarb
@jennasmialek@stavernise I really hope you both check out the comment section on the NYT site’s page for today’s Daily. Folks are laying out very cogently that the argumentation of the episode is completely baffling and frustratingly out of touch.
@mhbaskin@Janeese4DC There may be more to this than I am aware of but I think it’s pretty widely applicable. Don’t let your landlord make you sign more paperwork than you have to!
@mhbaskin@Janeese4DC The line that Olivia’s lease was “up for renewal” made me remember that a lot of people don’t know they have the right as a DC tenant to automatically convert their lease into a month-to-month after the initial term is over, without re-signing an agreement
