A plurality is the biggest share of something but falls short of 50% + 1 unit.

A majority is at least 50% + 1 unit of something.

A plurality is not a majority. These are not the same thing.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

Also: all these rules were agreed upon. So, if you're upset with how this might play out according to those adopted rules, take it up with your candidate for agreeing to them.

I never thought I'd hear grown adults argue that getting 1/3 of the total delegates should mean you win the nomination, but here we are.

Let me tell you a story:
So there was this young man I used to know.

Very inspiring but sad tearful story.
Let’s call him Garba.

Garba was 21 when he finished from university. He had first class from Computer Science.

By 22, he had a masters degree with distinction.

Thread/

He got employed by one of the biggest firms in Lagos to work as one of their “tech guys” in Lekki.

He was proficient in many software and computer systems stuff. He was a literal definition of a computer wizkid.

He could perform wonders and magic on a computer. A total genius.

Garba became absolutely indispensable to the company he worked for. They provide secure database for many clients and helped to monitor things like their operating systems and also ensure that their websites and online portals were safe from hackers and all those kinds of things.

I’ve read Fiona Hill’s deposition, and I regret to say that her testimony, while very admirable in many ways, is also weak and problematic in important respects. 1/74 tinyurl.com/y25km4q6

To judge from the likes and RTs that a post of mine yesterday on Hill has received, I won’t be surprised if my criticisms of her testimony are not received well by some of my followers.

If so, so be it.

As the man said, I can do no other. 2/74

Before getting into the criticisms, let me give Hill credit where credit is due.

She certainly does deserve a lot of it. 3/74

Why Did Jesus Say This?

Matthew 5:29
And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

1/

Did Jesus really mean to tell you to LITERALLY pluck your own physical eye out?

Most people think Jesus meant that if you have a problem with lust, as in ogling women, you should poke your own eye out.

As always, this idea is completely wrong.

2/

God uses symbols in the Bible to convey things that are true while telling a story.

This is the way the ENTIRE Bible is written.

So God tells parts of the SAME story over and over again in different ways using MANY different symbols.
