It's the Lincoln-Douglas debate we all deserve

Stephen Douglas: how's the weather up there, you fugly log cabin circus freak

Abraham Lincoln: STFU you fat midget greaseball before I go railsplitter on your ass
Once again I would like to personally thank Jack Dorsey for creating this magical website that provides the level headed citizens of our great nation with a forum in which to debate and persuade one another the issues of the day

Fun Fact: ambitious bureaucratic tech blueprints are not how you beat Silicon Valley
Looking forward to the EU Ministry of Silly Apps
Yes, I'm sure the people who came up with 200 page manuals regulating the permissible curvature of bananas have Silicon Valley quaking in their flipflops

FactChecks(TM) of the claimed consequences of hypothetical events that have yet to occur are my favorite FactChecks(TM)
one of these is actually a FactCheck:

Claim: the capital of Alaska is Anchorage
FactCheck: FALSE, the capital of Alaska is Juneau

Claim: when the UFOs land in 2078 the little green men will eat us
FactCheck: FALSE, they will be blue and give us delicious space candy
awaiting a FactCheck(TM) on this:

Claim: FactCheck(TM) is a 28 year old J-school grad in a cubicle in Tampa

@JoeCunninghamSC Surely you’re aware #Lincoln wanted to send all Blacks back where they came from.
“But for your race, there could not be war. Many men engaged on either side do not care for you one way or the other. Without slavery the war could not have an existence.”

@JoeCunninghamSC 1862 #Lincoln talks to influential Blacks telling them all Blacks should go back where they came from.
“we are different races. We have between us a broader difference than exists between almost any other two races. ...this physical difference is a great disadvantage to us both,"
@JoeCunninghamSC 1862 #Lincoln "I think your race suffer very greatly, many of them by living among us, while ours suffer from your presence. In a word we suffer on each side. If this is admitted, it affords a reason at least why we should be separated.”

Before the real thing comes to town I think it's about time I spilled all the tea about why I dislike Animal Crossing Pocket Camp. Sit down for my Ted Talk children...
1) Lets get the obvious out of the way. The fortune cookie gambling is bad. If you're not familiar with the game, it has this in-game currency you can slowly earn called Leaf Tickets. You can also buy leaf tickets which is what the game wants.
The fortune cookies are themed and come out every few weeks. Every one you buy (with leaf tickets) will net you a stamp in a stamp booklet. Or you can buy 5 at once to get 6 stamps. Each booklet holds 10 stamps.

Thread on Lincoln assassination:

154 years ago tonight our 16th President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated at Ford's Theater while watching the play Our American Cousin.

Vintage 1865 colored print of late President
After spending four long years overseeing a civil war that witnessed over 500,000 dead, the war was finally over. Lincoln was looking forward to a night of relaxation at the theater.

CDV of President Lincoln with son Tad, who sadly died six years after his father at age 15.
Ford's theater had only opened two years earlier in 1863. One of the well known actors who appeared in Shakespearean plays: John Wilkes Booth, future assassin of our President.

TW. For abuse, 'discipline' and stories of child abuse. Do mute this thread to avoid.

Thread 2 of my live-tweet reading of To Train Up a Child by Michael and Debi Pearl. #exvangelical #ExposeChristianDiscipline
The first thread is here:

Before I go into Chapter 5, its worth asking the question, do these Christian Extremist parents actually like children? As in, children for who they are, what they bring, the way they see the world, their frustrations and playfulness, their insights and annoying traits.

Before I lose the idea. R76 and wax museum challenge.
I'm thinking Jack as a journalist, challenged to do the "one night in a wax museum" thing. (Since he lost a bet in his journalist company).

His boss wants a segment of his experience or something so Jack takes a vid camera, sleeping bag, notebooks and some necessities
His bet requires him to set up in the 'murderers' section for maximum fear factor and what not. Jack admits he's a little scared cause everything looks so real.

One of the statues is a guy called Gabriel Reyes. The story was that he murdered people around the city.
