Anyone else noticed that the only people trying to ORGANIZE voter fraud are Republicans? Is there anything they accuse Democrats of that's not projection? I guess Marxism...and space lasers maybe.

@gtconway3d Just watched the latest podcast. I'm with you that Trump's APD is malignant. But please don't make out ALL sociopaths as inherently bad people. Plenty are raised in a way or receive therapeutic treatment that leads them to be ethical and respect others. 1/2

Though their reasons are often different from non-sociopaths. Don't stigmatize unnecessarily. It's like assuming everyone with bipolar or schizophrenia is dangerous. Check out Sociopath: A Memoir by Patric Gagne, who is both diagnosed with APD and a trained psychologist. 2/2

Seems important to know that the only time that article 5 was ever invoked in the history of NATO was by the United States after 9/11 and every single NATO country came to America’s aid and participated in the response to 9/11 including the invasion Afghanistan

Hey, @MTGOP and @GovGianforte: Put your money where your mouth is & follow your library commission's lead! They're turning down free money on behalf of your taxpayers bc of who leads the ALA. www-nbcnews-com.cdn.ampproje… Reject tainted funds from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law! /1

I'm sure your taxpayers will celebrate turning down infrastructure funds—paid for by their federal taxes—to stand firm in support of their principles. That money is tainted by the "woke" mob and its gay DoT secretary! #bannedbooks #WokeAgenda /3

Fail from @AppleTV and @TedLasso: today's episode synopsis begins "While watching Henry..." Ted is his FATHER. He was PARENTING Henry. I know brevity is key for these things, but w/ just 2 extra characters, they could've done it right: "While Henry's visiting..." Do better.

@Pocket What the heck happened to the app? It no longer goes into full-screen mode. You can't long-press links to save them; instead you have to go to them in web format and save them there, and THEN when you go back to the original article it goes to the beginning, losing /1

@neiltyson Saw you on @TheBeatWithAri and can't wait to get Starry Messenger off the library waiting list. But you got me ruminating with your comment about people thinking for themselves: it often seems like the internet and its enclaves have done away with expertise and /1

My question is this: How do we encourage thinking critically rather than simply following one's tribe while simultaneously encouraging carefully considered acceptance of the expertise of those who've dedicated their lives to a given subject? /4
So much this. Yes, blame Republican leaders and p elected officials for their lies about climate change, elections, the source of inflation, and everything else. Blame them for encouraging a kind of tribalism that says winning is more important than anything else. /1

Opinion | The Kentucky flooding is horrific. So is some Democrats’ lack of sympathy.

When I saw two very different stories about the disaster unfold, I wondered if I was an “us” or a “them,” if I should stand with my party or my people.

Aren't we liberals supposed to be the compassionate ones? The tolerant ones? The ones who truly value life from birth to the golden years, regardless of the individual's choices? /3

The ones who believe everyone deserves a 2nd (or 3rd or 4th) chance & promote policies that allow for that instead of accepting endless cycles of crime and poverty? The people who lost their lives in Kentucky don't have any more chances for anything, & that's always a tragedy. /4

If the standard is whether or not a thing was thought of when a given amendment was written, someone should sue to ban assault, semi-automatic, and revolver weapons since they didn't exist when the 2nd Amendment was ratified. Single shot pistols and muskets only. #GunControlNow

I want a small Android 🤖 phone, but it appears that no manufacturer has the guts to make one. The only way we can change this is if we work together. I wrote a manifesto/ode to small phones. If you want a small Android phone too, please check it out! smallandroidphone.com

I want a small Android phone!

Do you think all Android phones are too big? I agree! We need to work together to convince someone to build a small Android phone again.

@ericmigi THANK YOU for starting your petition! Though I'm amused by a 6'6" guy starting such a thing. 😄 I'm not just a tiny woman with tiny hands. I also have a disability that makes holding a larger phone very difficult and painful. /1

because I am VERY opposed to buying an Apple product. But given the current market, I might have to. It galls me that only Apple is attending to the needs of this segment of people with disabilities! DO BETTER, ANDROID MANUFACTURERS. /3

@ericmigi You should REALLY highlight the accessibility issue on the petition site and in publicity for it. Again, thank you. /4
