"Yes, I meant to eat that dolphin steak," Tom said porpoisefully. #IsItTomSwiftyThursdayYet
"I've been clearing this old insulation out of my attic all day and can barely breathe," Tom said, asbestos he could.

"I'm thinking of vacationing somewhere near Romania or the Ukraine," Tom said, as he Moldova his travel plans.

Hearing that a member of The Monkeys had died, Tom was so sad he could only mutter, “Mikey Dolenz-es.”

"Gosh, I just have no idea who might have stolen the topping for your pancakes," Tom said syruptitiously.
#IsItTomSwiftyThursdayYet
"I have zero fecks left to give," Tom said fecklessly.
#IsItTomSwiftyThursdayYet
"Who's the boneheaded moron who forgot to reinforce this concrete?" Tom asked rebarbatively. #IsItTomSwiftyThursdayYet
"I've been sitting in line for hours. I don't think I'll ever get that travel visa," Tom said disconsolately. #IsItTomSwiftyThursdayYet
"WHERE THE HELL IS MY BLUE SHIRT AND WHY IS THIS CLOSET SUCH A GODFORSAKEN MESS!?!?!?" Tom screamed, having forgotten everything he learned in hanger management class.
#IsItTomSwiftyThursdayYet
"I need to go to the bathroom, but I'm having such an incredible run of good luck at this fishing hole that I don't want to leave," Tom said, holding a crappie.
#IsItTomSwiftyThursdayYet
"Sometimes I cover my hands when I go out in the snow, sometimes I don't," Tom said intermittenly.
#IsItTomSwiftyThursdayYet
"This thread of Tom Swifty jokes sucks," Tom said fellatiously.
#IsItTomSwiftyThursdayYet

Question for the news editors at the major networks. If you knew then what we know now about the Gulf of Tonkin incident, would you have broadcast this speech live? I think the answer is probably, "no way." Just keep that in mind tomorrow.
For those unfamiliar with this incident, it was the "attack" that LBJ used to justify ramping up US involvement in Vietnam. Later it became clear that LBJ's account of the attack was greatly distorted with the intent to deceive the American people. usni.org/magazines/nava…
Trump is slow walking the nation into Gulf of Tonkin redux to justify taking on unconstitutional, emergency powers...the media's job is to report the truth, not amplify lies. #BoycottTrumpsAddress #BoycottTrumpSpeech

1. The movement of people across borders is a constant in world history (though the rate and direction of movement has ebbed and flowed over time). This tweet, however, helped me see the urgent contemporary connection between current/future immigration policies & climate change.
2. Put most simply, the world can either strengthen & militarize borders to deal with coming climate migration (build walls), or they can engage in a collaborative process of rethinking how they want those borders to work, how porous they should be. The latter is very hard work.
3. The nation-state as an institution has in many ways been weakened recently, largely by the mechanisms of global capitalism, but I don't see many signs that nations will be disappearing any time soon. Thus, nations (possessing geographical borders) will continue to exist.

This is a really important point. As we glory in dunking on dumb old Grover, we must remember that he was probably *the most important and influential Republican operative* of the 1990s. He was a key agenda setter and "idea guy" for the GOP in the ages of Gingrich and W.
Grover's "billionaires are the new slaves" schtick is of course absurd...and it was also pretty much GOP dogma for much of my adult life. Grover is not speaking for some bizarro fringe element within the GOP, he basically ran the GOP in DC from behind the scenes for decades.
A thread from yesterday with more "fun facts" about Grover Norquist.

Dark Matter Hunters Pivot After Years of Failed Searches - WIRED

“Pivot” is an interesting choice of words. Sorta implies that one is pivoting from one thing (WIMPS) to something else. In which case the “something else” needs to be specified. apple.news/AfFMHcOI9QlK8e…
The whole dark matter search community reminds me of Daffy Duck in the episode quoted from IMDb here. [shockingly, I do not instantly find a gif of Daffy falling off said cliff.]
Reading this article does not inspire confidence. Sounds more like they’re poised to make the same mistakes all over again. Having spent decades in a fruitless search for WIMPs motivated by the WIMP miracle - an irrelevant numerical coincidence - might they decide to learn more?

Day 11 of the Bates v Post Office group litigation at the High Court Rolls Building. It's the last day of evidence for Post Office witnesses and the only day court sits this week. A lot of info has gone up on postofficetrial.com over the weekend. Enjoy. #postofficetrial
Live tweets start at 10.30am from court 26 of the Rolls Building.
Nine minutes to go before Day 11 of #postofficetrial gets underway. Very few members of the public in court today, none of the regular claimants (except Alan Bates). A full complement of claimants lawyers but no one at all from the Post Office - visitors or lawyers.

Day 3 of #ScaryMovieMonth If you were a fan of It Follows, then check out Lace Crater. Don't watch the trailer, it gives the whole movie away. There's light visual horror, but that isn't what will make you cringe—it's the intimacy of watching it all go down. It's so absurd.
Day 4 of #ScaryMovieMonth is a twofer. The Aussie movie Wolf Creek came out in 2005 (rent on Amazon for 3.99) & it is BRUTAL. It could very well make you puke from fright & then those weird scary bastards went & made a whole terrifying series out of it (also called Wolf Creek).
Day 5 of #ScaryMovieMonth my recommendation is Unsane with Claire Foy. Being gaslighted into thinking you're crazy, being in a place where women are only believed when the truth is profitable & a man obsesses over controlling you—it is on the nose horror for today.

What a fortnight it's been. A reminder to #breathe from Lynne Ungar

Breathe, said the wind.

How can I breathe at a time like this,
when the air is full of the smoke
of burning tires, burning lives?

Just breathe, the wind insisted.
1/
Easy for you to say, if the weight of injustice
is not wrapped around your throat,
cutting off all air.

I need you to #breathe.
I need you to breathe.

Don’t tell me to be calm
when there are so many reasons
to be angry, so much cause for despair!
2/
I didn’t say to be calm, said the wind,
I said to #breathe.
We’re going to need a lot of air
to make this hurricane together.”
--Lynn Ungar
