It's officially that time of year.
I love these things. Shame one or two always go bad when I get the big bag.
I now have enough apples to start my own orchard.
Why?
I forgot to bring a quarter for the cart.
For the nightcap, "The Lego Movie 2" in 3D. There shouldn't be too many kids at 9 on a Wednesday night.
Forget kids. There weren't any adults. It was me and one other middle-aged guy in an auditorium that seats four hundred or so people.

It's weird how the people Trump keeps accusing of being behind a deep-state conspiracy to delegitimize his election and remove him from office keep trying to prove him right that there was a deep-state conspiracy to delegitimize him and remove him from office.
Andrew McCabe's admitting that the Department of Justice considered invoking the 25th Amendment is like sending Trump ten dozen roses and a year's supply of chocolate. Trump couldn't get a bigger - or better - Valentine's Day gift.
Andrew McCabe has probably been singing this in the shower for the last week.

Oh, look, I got a bot. And not the good kind like the one from the grocery store.
Some of the people can be fooled all of the time. Because they want to be.
Me: "The Green New Deal would require banning cars and airplanes to work, and even then it wouldn't."
Bot: "Why do you oppose progress?!"

I have to admit, I didn't see Rousseau at first on @jordanlperkins's shelf and I was very disappoint. Fortunately, I looked more closely.

No Aqui, there is no key Michael Aquino. The only key to the garden of eden is choosing to leave where you are. You do not get to be the rogue replicating Smith in the matrix. @POTUS @realDonaldTrump SHUT THE MICHAEL AQUINO GATE NOW says OZMA Sa Ra Ruth. Thank you, sir. @DHSgov

On my way to @Die_Gruenen-#BDK18! I'll be sharing impressions so mute me now. It sure has a very democratic feel when most of party leadership ends up hanging out on a train platform in Bitterfeld due to changed train schedules.

To avoid doing the work I'm not inclined to do, I'm going to indulge a bunch of proclivities at once, which is what Twitter is for. Behold: My #HumanaeVitae story.
My mom and dad had four kids, of which I'm the eldest. My wife is the eldest of four, as well. Growing up in the 80s and 90s, this was a large, but not super-large, family. Our Catholic families undoubtedly used contraception, but I haven't asked because ew.
My mom and dad didn't really talk about numbers of kids much. My mom once said my dad was the second of [more even than I have] because "[My grandmother] came from a generation that didn't know how to say no." My dad made clear he thought nothing wrong with the practice.

There is so much ugliness in the world. The #Hivites are not only working as hard as they can to create as much chaos & negativity in the world as possible, they are also contributing to that swell of negativity with their own DREAD & HATE. I refuse to contribute to that feeling.
There is going to be ugliness & violence, probably more frequently, as the stakes get higher & the #Hivites continue losing ground. I know there is so much bad news to report, & everyone is angry & wanting justice. The DEMAND for justice is palpable. And it is good. But...
Truly, the very BEST thing #WeThePeople can do is counter-BALANCE this negativity with LOVE. With COMPASSION. With honest recognition of truth & firm, unwavering enforcement of reasonable BOUNDARIES. How would you speak to a 4 year old? Do that with these bad actors. Because...

Are you one of those people who's looked back on 2017 and convinced yourself that you haven't achieved anything? Worried about catching up with your mates who seem to have done much better?

Let me tell you a story about #time.

A thread 👇
A long #time ago, back when I was about twelve or thirteen years old, my parents travelled to Uyo.

Before leaving, my mother asked me to prepare Edikang ikong soup so she and my father would eat when they returned.
When I was finished with the soup, it was supposed to look something like this:
