1/ My "who I'm voting for" piece may shed my remaining conservative followers. But there's not a lot I haven't already said. The main shift is my argument that, even ignoring the big policy failures, Trump's awful character is reason enough to vote against him.
2/ No, we shouldn't look to the President as a role model. But people do. It's a fact. A Biden election isn't a panacea. We're not all going to link arms and sing kumbaya. But someone not actively dividing the nation would be a big step in the right direction.
3/ Over the last four years, I've heard a lot "the country was always divided; he just exposed those divisions". Yeah, except that exposing divisions is a really fricking terrible idea. All social groups have divisions. We function because we find ways to work around them.
4/ A business wouldn't function if every meeting devolved into a berating Bob about the time he lost an important file. A family wouldn't function if every dinner conversation was about the C you got in algebra. The human machine does not function unless we bury a lot of axes.

1/ How about's a non-political thread 🧵about science! I mentioned PSR B1913+16 earlier today. Let's chat about it.
2/ Gravity is the ultimate fiend of the universe. It will cause anything to collapse if it doesn't fight. Stars stave off that collapse by fusing hydrogen into helium in their cores. Mass is converted into energy and that allows the star to resist the inward pressure of gravity.
3/ Eventually, however, a star will run out of core hydrogen and try to fuse heavier elements. This holds off gravity, but not for long. Stars like the Sun stop at fusing helium into carbon and oxygen. Giant stars like Betelgeuse get carried away and go all the way to iron. Image
