Celiac disease makes me feel so left out. Do I go to dinner and just drink a coke? Or do I decline and not say why? I’m sorry those local restaurants you love don’t believe me, and poison me for fun. One waiter at Pizza Joint put flour on my Coke glass. Complain? “Why are you even here? It’s pizza”

I hate to bug @prisonculture.bsky.social a young man was recently freed after a 7 year wait for trial (NG). In addition to food, housing, clothing, and rides. How do we help? What shouldn’t we forget?

When everything is so messed up, sometimes the little injustices don’t seem worth your time or worry. This boy was locked up for 7 years, in our name. And because he was acquitted, there are no community supports for this kind of returning citizen.

If they’re renaming things, why not call the Canadian Goose the Floridian Goose? They seem more like Floridians.

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid.

So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

Chris has consistently been a terrific human being. Great follow too, just in general. But you all know that
🔥🔥🔥 Former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe was arrested for civil disobedience after speaking against a MAGA display that the city council of Huntington Beach agreed to put up at the public library…..that’s what’s up….every word👇

The phenomenon of “leftist language policing” is 99% a product of centrists whining about it constantly. I almost never encounter it in real life and requests for vocabulary updates are typically non-binding guidelines for formal written documents.
This take is worth what you paid for it, but I think the language policing stuff has outsized political significance.

First off: no, that's not what "wokeness" meant. That's what it somehow became. It's the same thing as "Political correctness," but shorter.

Second: who told you to do these things? Was it one person on Twitter in 2014, and you mistook it for a movement?
one of the stupidest things i have had the misfortune of reading today and i am sharing it with you.

Hi Adam, I take your point that the quadratic formula can be presented in a way that does not inspire understanding or affection. And it sounds like that's how it was taught to you. So let me try to make a better case for it. Here's how I discussed it in my book The Joy of x. (1/9)

This article has some gems. Apparently “clown moves” were made.
Man says someone dressed in clown mask chased him with a machete, started swinging
The victim says he was forced to run into a busy intersection to get away from the machete-wielding masked person.

Practicing law outside of THE Big City is a trip. Those lawyers come to the small town and act like they’ve landed in Brigadoon. I love when they try to match their speech to the locals.

Watched one lawyer change his accent with every juror questioned (during individual voire dire). 🧵

Just got back from the surgeon—looks like little one will need halo traction followed by rods and maybe something special for his neck. I’m not a fan of progressive infantile scoliosis and kyphosis. We’ve just got to get weight on him first!
