I can’t take it anymore. I’m just blocking anyone in my mentions so fucking stupid they think Republicans can somehow pardon Trump if Cuomo leaves office... and is replaced by a Democratic woman.
And if your response is “Well, I didn’t know that if Cuomo were to leave office, he’d be replaced by the Lieutenant Governor - a Democrat - because that is how it works...”.

WHY ARE YOU SPREADING HORSESHIT CONSPIRACY THEORIES IF YOU DONT KNOW HOW IT EVEN WORKS?
Stop making our side of the aisle look like the kind of QAnon-believing morons we roll our eyes at.

You are embarrassing *all of us*.

Jesus. Pathetic.
And to the people who clutch their pearls and reply “My goodness, you shouldn’t be so harsh.”

Yes, I absolutely the fuck should.

It is our actual job to know what we’re talking about.

That is our actual job as responsible adults.
People *should* be concerned about spreading bullshit.

They *should* expect spreading bullshit to be poorly received.

One of the reasons things got so fucked up is because we act like people must be kept comfortable even when saying ridiculously dumb shit. Why?!
People actually *should* feel pressure to know what the fuck they are talking about before they spread it on social media.

If you’re spreading mindless, idiotic nonsense about something you couldn’t even be bothered to Google, you aren’t owed a hug.

Do better. Fuck.

Who else is watching the #GRAMMYs with me?

I’m just gonna use this thread to talk about ‘em so I don’t clog up your timeline.
Harry Styles DGAF what you think. He has swagger, that one.
Billy Eyelash has really grown on me. I was slow to warm but I’m there.

Well, well, well, two can play at this game.

I just called my son on the phone three times because I was too lazy to walk into his room to get the iPad.
Damnit. My son reports that the iPad is in a third room that neither of us is in.

Now we are locked in a standoff.
Now he is ignoring my texts.

Ya know, it’s funny. I talk about things I like because I like them - and I like when other people discover them and like them too.

I’ve sent over 130,000 tweets. They were seen over 4 billion times.

No one has even offered to pay me for a tweet...

1/
I’ve talked about Olukai sandals, Dogfish Head beer, Merrell shoes, Spotify, musicians, and on and on.

I haven’t even gotten a friendly thank you.

Of all the people and brands I’ve positively mentioned, only one even acknowledged it:

@Bartees_Strange (great album BTW)

2/
It’s funny how people think there is some secret money-making enterprise where people get paid for tweeting.

Maybe there is and I’m just not invited. I’ve never even been approached.

Now I’m gonna go put on my Merrell trail sneaks, and go listen to Bartees Strange.

This is a Democratic House candidate.

Yikes. Maybe deactivate your account, @Marston4ca42.

Reporting people quoting you verbatim? This is a hot mess.
Right before I posted the above, I checked her page. She was following me.

Now she blocked me and locked her account.

This person does not appear to have the temperament for Congress if Twitter is too much to handle.
And for the record, I only posted this because she was replying to people with “blocked and reported!” for doing... nothing remotely inappropriate.

A blue checkmark falsely reporting small accounts is not cool.

I don’t understand why this needs to be said to people on the left but:

1) We should care when a man on the left is accused of inappropriate behavior toward women

2) We should want to understand the full facts

3) We should care about speaking knowledgeably

1/
4) We should care about correcting misinformation

5) We should be against spreading unfounded conspiracy theories that discredit the women involved

6) We should be against reflexively dismissing women without even closely considering their stories

2/
7) These should all be true whether we like that person or not

And, finally

8) We should be able to have *informed* conversations about what we believe and what is an appropriate outcome.

This shouldn’t need to be said.

So, my friend, @thechrisbarron, and I are totally into this new thing of introducing new artists to y’all.

We have someone lined up for this Fri and he’s amazing.

19-years old. Unbelievable strings player.

Here he is *at 16* playing mando with Yonder Mtn Strings Band.

1/
Stay tuned for more on this week’s guest and his show on Fri.

This past Friday, we had a blast introducing @JuliaBhatt. Y’all loved her as much as I did when I first heard her.

We’re working to schedule another Live with her soon...

2/
Here is what you can do to support these fun shows where we get to see, meet and experience talented new artists:

1) Tune in
2) Spread the word that you’re coming to these, had fun, liked the artist, etc.
3) Follow the artists here and on IG
4) Buy their work, tip them
