The last thing we need is a bunch of people asking for men to be "tough"

The inability to process trauma in healthy ways causes almost all of our problems, if anything we need a lot less stereotypical "tough" and a lot more emotional health in this world

And certainly on Twitter where self-serving people spend a huge part of every single day finding people to try to attack....the last thing we need is less empathy, less caring, and more people swallowing their feelings

Look, the vast majority of the people I know who did time understand this and understand that learning to process emotions in a healthy way is critical to moving beyond a Hobbesian world (that is nothing but nasty, brutish, and short)

What people don't seem to get is that Biden is a centrist and he is "partisan" but partisan in the sense that the far left and the far right despise him not in the sense that he suggests "radical reforms"

He could literally walk on water - and the far right and the far left would still hate him....they hated him before he took office, they hate him in office, and both the far right and a huge percentage of the far left preferred Trump

Now, I am not in love with him at all, and I am increasingly getting frustrated with him.....but, people have to understand that absent a very possible second civil war or coup, most of the country lives in the middle

@Simone_Biles

Also, I think most people are misunderstanding what happened with @Simone_Biles - she seemed to have something like the Yips and was worried it was going to cost her team a medal.....and it was also dangerous (given the complexity of the skills she tries to pull off) #Tokyo2020

In other words, she wasn't having a "mental health crisis" per se....she was losing herself in the air....which is both dangerous and could lead to mistakes that could cost her team a medal....so she decided to take one for the team

So, all of these people talking about her using mental health as an excuse.....first of all, that is messed up for all the reasons that people have been trying to explain for YEARS....but also, that is not what Biles was talking about (as near as I can tell)

What a typically sad response: Why would it be okay to assault capital officers because officers were hurt at other protests?

Also, what about all of the PEACEFUL PROTESTERS who were assaulted by law enforcement during the protests against police violence?

In addition, millions of people hit the streets in the protests against police violence, the overwhelming majority were peaceful, those are facts

Regardless, let's assume you were right, two wrongs don't make a right. It is not okay for protesters to be violent, it is not okay for police to be violent, and it is not okay for people to assault our capital and attack the capital police

A bed time story

This is a story about a

1. A movie
2. Criminal Justice Reform
3. Tom Cotton
4.🐴💩 (aka B.S)
5. People
6. And the Truth

Hope you will stay with me for the whole story

1/

1. The movie

In 1982 a movie came out called "The Verdict" - it is, without question, one of my favorite movies. The movie is about an alcoholic, unlucky, often betrayed, and beyond down on his luck attorney who has gone from world beater to failed ambulance chaser

The movie stars Paul Newman and he is amazing, it is like you can see the bare outlines of what made him so cocksure in "The Sting" somewhere inside of his character, whose name is Frank Gavin, but that part is so lost, that you know he can never fully recover

One thing I learned this weekend is a few people with under 50k followers can actually have a Twitter event that trends....also learned that my idea for a Twitterthon had merit (kind of an elongated Twitter Storm)

In the past, I had a very specific model for building successful twitter events that had worked in the past for me, this helped me refine my thoughts and also broaden my model

Anyway, the way it appeared to me is that you can spark a Bernie-like economy of smaller accounts that can work together to create more meaningful engagement and even trend....It doesn't always have to be led by huge influencers
