Hey kids, wake up, look at the odometer. No really, trust me, this is gonna be really cool. Stop hitting your brother. No we're not there yet. Sure, I'll put the Raffi CD back on. What? You just peed 30 minutes ago. Sigh.
Ah Twitter. You complete me.
In case you don't know me...that tweet is intended to be 100% self-mocking!

I look forward to Mr. Falwell’s “History of America’s Worst Racists” with chapters on MLK, Rosa Parks, Frederick Douglass, William Lloyd Garrison, and Benjamin Banneker.
I believe it’s slated for publication during Black History Month, 2020.
It’ll be a key piece of the @gop’s effort to attract more support from black voters by showing how much they revile racism and the racists who insist on talking about it.

1. A story about sitting Presidents (in this case, the first President, George Washington) being subject to the rule of law. It's drawn from this fantastic book by @ericaadunbar that just won the Frederick Douglass Prize. amazon.com/Never-Caught-W…
2. Washington spent most of his presidency in Philadelphia, the nation's capitol at the time. He brought several enslaved people with him from Virginia. But there was a problem. Pennsylvania had passed a gradual abolition law in 1780. phmc.state.pa.us/portal/communi…
3. That law stipulated that no enslaved person could be "retained in this State longer than six Months." This meant that if the Washingtons wanted to hold on to their human property, they would need to shuttle them across state lines once every six months. This is what they did.

Counterpoint: If the Electoral College is so stupid, then why is it a college?
[Practicing my Charlie Kirk logic. How’d I do?]
Corollary: Liberal college professors want you to think the electoral college is stupid, yet they think *their* colleges are so great. How dumb do you have to be to miss the hypocrisy here?
While we're talking about the electoral college, this is one of my favorite "there's always a tweet" stories. cbsnews.com/news/donald-tr…

Christmas is over, my kid is happily playing a video game, so it's time for me to live-tweet my reading of Buying and Selling the Souls of Our Children: a Closer Look at Pokemon by John Paul Jackson.

Yes, it's THAT book. The one about how Pokemon is demonic. I can't wait.
Shout out to @C_Stroop for RTing my attempt to find this book earlier in the year. I know a bunch of you followed me because of my original thread about this book (which my parents owned when I was a kid) so if you're still here, hi!

Let's dive into this early 00s fearmongering.
The copy I have is a UK edition from Kingsway, who I remember publishing a lot of the religious materials that were in my house growing up.

First off, we have a lot of your usual buzzwords. "Children of destiny" & "The spirit of the age" (@peachbitters!) It's very dramatic.

Hey @JoeManchinWV — remember me? We talked a lot when I was a reporter in WV. I’m sure my reporting on DJS got on your nerves, and it helped tank your hand-pick replacement to lead the agency. She lied about her credentials, remember?
@JoeManchinWV Your team tried to run interefence with my publisher, my editor and you even succeeded in getting a few stories killed then (the publisher was a crony and … well, trash).
@JoeManchinWV Despite that, @JoeManchinWV and the constant string of death threats I faced anytime I reported on anyone close to your administration, you always struck me as a good man. No real democrat would vote to confirm #kavanaugh my friend.

Ayyeee!

Quick Storytime…

So, I was in Havana, Cuba.

Beautiful place. Communist shithole.

Home of many a hustler - aka Jineteros y Jineteras.
And of course, some interesting shit happened.

Like this...

My buddy and I are hungry.

It’s been a long day of third-world tourism and all that jazz.

And we want a big ass meal before a night of partying.
So…

We head down to a restaurant that looks pretty decent.

Clearly geared towards tourist w/ a brand new hipster-esque sign out front.

LANUN MOF...MY STORY..

back in 2013 i developed a comprehensive green tech programme proposal for rail infrastructure, targeted to improve the country existing LRT network. the proposal eventually led me having to deal with a group of individuals nicknamed the lanun of MOF..
after having spent 13yrs living abroad in aus, i finally returned home in msia in june of 2009. main reason for returning? my late mother was diagnosed with cervical cancer in jan and as the eldest son, it was the right thing to do to return home and spend as much time with her..
i was glad to make that decision. she passed on in aug 2009, a few days short of her 55th b'day.

returning home after 13yrs living abroad meant, i had to start fresh. i left for aus in 96 as a 19yo teenager, and i came home as a 33yo man...

Genji was back at one of the bases he was so used in the past. He never thought he would, but he was there, surrounded by very familiar faces. And new ones too.
Because of that, he didn't really want to take off his mask, but Lena was being so insufferable about it he didn't think he had a choice. But if he needed to be honest, he missed her too. And the all the rest, his old partners, friends. Well, some of them, at least.
So he took it off and smiled to her, who was clearly so happy seeing him again it made him a little emotional. Too many memories.
She squeezed and kissed his cheeks, and like always, chattered nonstop.

Yo my dudes I'm procrastinating on revising my book and my looming deadline so I'm gonna thread again and tell y'all about the invention of kabuki theater because it is #WILD

Let me tell you the story of a woman

and her incredible pants
The place: JAPAN, OBVIOUSLY
The time: THE DAWN OF THE 1600S. The Portuguese had arrived sixty years before, in 1543, and promptly looked around and went "oh my gOD the #AESTHETIC" which blah blah blah eventually led to an outbreak of weeaboos in 18th century Europe BUT IRRELEVANT
Because right as the Portuguese were gawking like unwashed tourists, the Japanese were eyeing them up right back and ALSO going "Oh my god the #aesthetic tho"

and then it was about ECONOMICS 😍 and TRADE EMPIRES 😍😍
