This is why you don't ask compound questions
The Suffolk U poll actually asks "President Trump has called the Special Counsel’s investigation a 'witch hunt' and said he’s been subjected to more investigations than previous presidents because of politics. Do you agree?"

So are survey respondents agreeing with:
1️⃣ "witch hunt"
2️⃣ "subjected to more investigations because of politics"
3️⃣ both?
We have no clue. It's a terribly worded question.
By contrast, 54.6% in the very same poll trust the Mueller investigation "to be fair and accurate"

I hadn't even considered that one, but that's another valid answer
This is a sleight-of-hand based both on the age ranges of those being analyzed and cultural trends
Yes, clear majority of Americans aged 0-death won't have a 4-year degree
But 36% of those of recent-college-attending age have one, and 66%+ of those 18-24 have some college

Educational norms shift over time
Among those 65+ years old, 16% never finished high school
Among those 25-29, only 10%
Same trends exist with college enrollment, and with college graduation: the numbers grow over time

Yep
Since becoming a Division I team in 2011-12, @NCCUAthletics Men's Basketball has made it to the NCAA tournament 4 times (50%):
➡️ 2014
➡️ 2017
➡️ 2018
➡️ 2019
Every single appearance has been with @LeVelleMoton as head coach
Alums need to pay this man!

You look at Moton's record as head coach, and you can't tell me there won't be big name schools offering him a bundle to come to them. Gonna be tough for NCCU to compete with that without more alumni donations.
For a compare-and-contrast, my undergrad alma mater NC State has only made the NCAA Tournament 5x during that same time 2012-19 period
And our coach is paid a f*ckload more money, with higher-$$$ facilities to practice in, and more scholarship $$$ to toss at blue chip athletes

I'm sorry, but if we're in a zombie apocalypse & you repay my hospitality by raiding the pantry, raiding the infirmary, kidnapping my daughter, branding me with an iron, then coming at me with a knife? Ain't gonna be no "please stop!" sh*t before I Thanksgiving turkey yo @$$ #TWD

Opted for buffalo wings b/c the ones here are *amazing*
Live the type of life where your enemies are still triggered by you seven months after you die
(Also, things aren't "proven in court papers" – they're proven at trial. Trump is bullsh*tting you.)

This tweet is gibberish
That's how I took it, but admittedly I'm not fluent in Congresscritter
ZING!

Seriously, who the f*ck actually believes this?? 🤣
No, I laugh at you being an imbecile who thinks "that's true of everybody"
My mind was blown when I learned non-legitimately-disabled ppl did this
It was my sophomore year of college. I was struggling to come up with tuition money that year, working at the local Burger King and for Apple's Campus Rep program
At a group dinner one night the topic got onto SATs, and someone asked how many times we'd each taken it

(1️⃣ I didn't know that was even an option. 2️⃣ I was broke, so all I kept thinking was "wouldn't you have to pay $$$$ to take it again?")
In tonight's criminal justice news, another cop escapes punishment for shooting an unarmed black man for sport
Killer cop Jonathan Aledda convinced a jury he wasn't guilty of shooting Charles Kinsey...
...b/c he was trying to kill the autistic boy Kinsey was watching instead

Acquitted on one, 5-1 vote to acquit on the other three – meaning DA likely won't re-prosecute
Gotta define "jobs"
Ex: Used to work for several temp agencies back when I had dropped out of college – do we count each agency as 1 apiece, or each employer each agency sent me to?

In terms of boba fide non-temp-agency employment, I think 4. Fired from one job, got a temporary gig to keep bills paid until I got another real job, then got the real job but started a side hustle to "catch up" on sh*t I'd fell behind on

It's so weird! Peaceful though to just chill for a bit
Mud Island was another area that struck me as cool but weird af. Gf lived there all through optometry school, including a stretch where the entire park and half the road flooded. But all the houses were $$$$$$$$$$
The actual text of the Connecticut Supreme Court's ruling on the Sandy Hook school shooting lawsuit is here: jud.ct.gov//external/supa…
It's not a landmark decision as portrayed in the media coverage. It reverses a dismissal of one narrow claim, on narrow grounds. Affirms the rest.

The case will now go back to the trial court, where the parties will engage in discovery / depositions / etc
Once that's done, there will be a motion for summary judgment where that last remaining claim will likely be resolved in the manufacturer's favor

Only if the motion for summary judgment is denied will you get to a trial

I remember the Haunted House case, and the elements for adverse possession. That's about it
And Pierson v. Post!
So little evidence that Michael Flynn / Rick Gates / George Papadopoulos / Paul Manafort all pled guilty to crimes 😮
Rand Paul is whatever you call a Congresscritter who's only half a halfwit
Zing!
Guy standing next to me at the gate is trying to orally debug JavaScript on the phone to someone he works with. I'm getting PTSD 😂
He's now very annoyed that someone didn't check what survey.js is rendering on screen, and someone didn't put style-display:none
(I don't actually know if that's how JS syntax is done, I've blotted it from my memory)
We've landed 🙏🙌

Slightly sad b/c ATL is a really fun airport
Yes! My connecting terminal is on the other side. 50min was/is plenty of time, but I still felt a pang of "am I gonna make it??" 😂
Waiting to board my Delta flight to ATL

Admittedly I only follow a very small subset of Twitter, but fresh camera pics are a teeny tiny subset of tweets on the TL. Vastly outnumbered by both snark and memes
If the goal is "nicer" conversation then sure curtail the snark I guess? But I suspect more likely result is fewer active users
Also requisite apologies to all the Tiggers fans out there, we definitely stole this one
Fair
Removing it. The surcharge was always a lunatic idea that actually lowered graduation rates.
It's the type of mind-blowingly dumb policy that only a politician could think made sense.

Traveling for work tomorrow through Friday, and having a whole f*cking meltdown trying to get everything done before I leave 😩
When I was in UNCASG we went out of town at least once a month. Often more. I had a "go bag" I could pack in <5 minutes and ::whoosh:: out the door.
