Time for the best first impression ever, fuck yeah. My name's Nome. I write words. Sometimes people think the words I write are good.

See below for my thread of threads of threads - things I've written that I'd like to be able to find or reference, many of them ported over from my time on Twitter.

Renee Nicole Good, 37, was murdered four fifths of a mile from where George Perry Floyd, Jr., 46, was murdered in May of 2020.
I want the media to understand just how close what happened today is to where George Floyd was murdered. 0.8 miles.

We told you all this would happen. If youre shocked by, voted for any of it, or surmise any excuse to handwave any of it then you are, simply put, never to be trusted b/c you never cared to begin with.

And I dont hope that sits on your soul. No…

I hope it weighs you into hell with an iron anchor.

Today I pet a Scottish Terrier puppy that had only just gotten her first haircut, and the only hair she had left was a giant moustache.

And that's going to be enough to get me through to tomorrow.

Okay, look: It's good that action is happening.

However: That it took the murder of an attractive white woman is also a pretty grim referendum on whose lives lawmakers value.
About an hour ago, @axios.com was first to report that some Dems will be pushing their caucus to shut down DHS at minimum over the ICE shooting today

The "the big light is bad!" meme has been the most confusing thing in the world to me.

I like being able to see things. I like not having to turn a million lamps on and off. I like a room lit enough to not put me to sleep.
My most shameful secret is that I love the big lights in the apartment

Very rarely in human history can you definitively say you are fighting on the side of Good but by god this is one of those times, we are going to defeat ICE and the Border Patrol change this wretched world into one where borders no longer kill

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Hey all, if you're spiraling I've got a couple of psychological first aid tips that can help until you're able to process with an actual professional.

Do: name what you feel in your body very specifically. Don't link it to emotions yet. Name "my stomach hurts" and "my chest feels tight" and

Charles Addams had more control over value in an inkwash than maybe any other cartoonist before or since, and also was a lady magnet: among his many romantic partners were Greta Garbo, Joan Fontaine, and Jackie Kennedy, with whom he split when she complained that they only talked about comics

I just realized.

Trump thinks he's "changed the regime" in Venezuela because he assumes that Maduro is like him, that Maduro's government is like his.

He thinks he's the indispensable man, and that that's how it *always* works. Also that the worst thing you could do to someone is indict them.

It's interesting that you can hear this in two word 'phrasal verbs' that work as nouns, too, even those /without/ Latin prepositions.

"He backed UP the BACKup"
"The teacher hands OUT the HANDouts"

So much so that we frequently combine these into compound nouns.

English is weird, y'all. 🙃

'Initial-stress-derived' nouns typically contain Latin prepositions (pro-, pre-, con-, re-) but entered English from French.

Creating nouns in English from French verbs was a matter of moving stress to the preposition:
"I obJECT to the OBject"
"He proDUCEs the PROduce"
"We reCORDed the REcord."
Something interesting you might not have realized: a number of words in English are NOUNS when you stress the FIRST syllable, but VERBS when you stress the SECOND syllable.

"Your CONduct is better when you conDUCT yourself appropriately.”

On January 6, 2021 we called out seven specific Coloradans for stoking election conspiracy theories and trying to overturn the election results.

Here's where they are five years later. It's been a rough go for many of them.

Five years ago today, we named specific Coloradans who stoked election rigging claims and tried to overthrow the election.

“What those Coloradans did, leading up to today’s insurrection, is on them. Whether the rest of us on Colorado remember what they did, is on us.”

This aired Jan 6, 2021.

Greatest Denver metro snow impacts will be 6p Thursday-6a Friday.

Models still wavering a bit, but 1-4”+ with 6”+ potential in the Divide/southern foothills appears most likely still.

More in the morning. Nighty night
