    <content type="html">I've been &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/flwyd"&gt;using Twitter&lt;/a&gt; a lot more lately.  Here are some clever things I've said that are worth repeating.  I also set up a perl6 script to &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23quotefile%20%40flwyd&amp;amp;src=typd"&gt;post a #quotefile quip every day&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;A smile is a hammock for your face&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I tried to order an extra large T-shirt from Rome.  I received forty shirts.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bitcoin is a commodity whose foundation is the artificial scarcity of numbers.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;When &lt;span style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='https://realdonaldtrump.dreamwidth.org/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png' alt='[personal profile] ' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='https://realdonaldtrump.dreamwidth.org/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;realdonaldtrump&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; said he'd drain the swamp he didn't tell us that the effluent would flow into the Potomac and then into Chesapeake Bay (re: &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/ActualEPAFacts/status/843243797467348992"&gt;this story&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Chuck Berry transported listeners to a simpler world where we pursued our crushes, drove fast cars, and the week ended with a rockin' dance.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Imma let you finish &lt;span style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='https://ncaa.dreamwidth.org/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png' alt='[personal profile] ' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='https://ncaa.dreamwidth.org/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;ncaa&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, but the March Hare and Mad Hatter are the best #MarchMadness team of all time. #DownTheBasketHole&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The 2010s surge in white nationalism is in large part a reaction to a century of white internationalism.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Hypothesis: Trump thinks girls have cooties. (re: &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/Mikel_Jollett/status/842797950640123904"&gt;not shaking Angela Merkel's hand&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Odd that we live in a culture that stigmatizes seeing a psychologist but not seeing a pastor. They do similar work with different specialities.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If your house is too big of a landslide risk you can in theory get a new house. If you have a chronic disease you can't move to a new body. (re: America's model of health insurance)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sets to the left of me, sets to the right / Here I am, stuck in the middle with ∪ / #MathHumor&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;alice@rabbithole&amp;gt; cd wonderland&lt;br /&gt;&lt;var&gt;alice@rabbithole&amp;gt; ls&lt;br /&gt;DRINKME&lt;br /&gt;EATME&lt;br /&gt;README&lt;br /&gt;alice@rabbithole &amp;gt;&lt;/var&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;When you gaze into the void, the social media ranking algorithm answers back.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The tyranny of Daylight Saving Time is not that you lose an hour of sleep or an hour of sun. It's that you let a clock decide when you act.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;More people lived in Kentucky in 2010 than lived in the US in 1790. Constitutional suspicion of federal power should apply to state gov't too.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I'm more confused reading #Perl6 docs as an experienced programmer than &lt;cite&gt;Learning Perl&lt;/cite&gt; as a novice: "Why'd you make the sausage that way?"&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Don't defend the status quo. Describe a better system and work to make it happen. Legislators gonna legislate&amp;ndash;ensure they enact your vision.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Regardless of the benefits of "like a business" governing, Trump's management style isn't fit for leading a country.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;None of us are as strong as all of us are.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Best part so far of a two-week liquid+purée diet? Eating a bowl full of mayonnaise. #TastyRecovery &lt;ins&gt;(later that day, my stomach regretted that decision)&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A good approach to cleaning up public discourse on the Internet: you must listen before you speak. (re: &lt;a href="https://t.co/PeL0caBU31"&gt;a Norwegian news website's new policy&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;There are no high-paying jobs at family ethnic restaurants, but it's a crucial role played by immigrants. #JointAddress (re: proposed immigration policies that focus on high-paying tech jobs)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;For every war we start, we must end two more.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The best way to stop drugs from coming into America is to grow marijuana in the U.S. #JointAddress&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Key change in gay marriage support was folks knowing more gay people. Let's create opportunities for Americans to meet ordinary scientists.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Biologists are pro-birth, pro-life, and pro-death.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Framing: refugees and immigrants are freedom seekers. They're willing to give up even home and family ties to pursue American values.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Freedom isn't free.  It's made possible by hard work and generous support from taxpayers like you.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Hapless Hank wanted to be the "go to programmer", but instead became the goto programmer.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Don't want to be subject to any government? 2000+ sqkm between Egypt and Sudan are claimed by neither.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bir_Tawil"&gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bir_Tawil&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Honk if you fly south for the winter.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;ldquo;I'm not racist, I have black friends!&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;This bill isn't homophobic, several closeted legislators voted for it!&amp;rdquo;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I don't declare war on xenophobia.  I declare peace.  May it rest there.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;It's a travesty that America will have to navigate the era of alternate facts without George Carlin&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You can't keep evil out of a country; it doesn't travel on a plane. Evil casts its spores through ideas, sown in a heart fertilized by hate.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Don't just make art.  Be art.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Humans are my ingroup.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama sought dissenting opinions and input from experts. Trump surrounds himself with like-minded people and thinks he knows everything.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Hey &lt;span style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='https://potus.dreamwidth.org/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png' alt='[personal profile] ' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='https://potus.dreamwidth.org/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;potus&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, while you're making it harder to hire foreign workers, please invest in US education system so there are good Americans to hire.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Halal food in NYC doesn't come in meal deals. It's Allah carte.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If I told you that you tested positive for antibodies, would you hold them against me?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Flotsam and jetsam are the mass noun equivalents of odds and ends.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Pancakes crêpe me out.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Just to keep things surreal &lt;span style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='https://realdonaldtrump.dreamwidth.org/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png' alt='[personal profile] ' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='https://realdonaldtrump.dreamwidth.org/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;realdonaldtrump&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; should nominate Hillary Clinton for Secretary of State. She's got experience and is unemployed.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Strange times when a populace, concerned about decades of job loss, votes in a president whose catchphrase was &amp;ldquo;You&amp;lsquo;re fired&amp;rdquo;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Folks advocating for unfaithful electors in next month's electoral college have moved past shock, denial, and anger and are on to bargaining&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Two generations ago, GOP was the party of education, business, &amp;amp; taking blacks for granted; Dems the party of labor &amp;amp; southern xenophobia.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2020 campaign promise: free electoral college tuition for all Americans&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;To tap into the wisdom of the crowd, maybe pollsters should ask respondents who they think will win their state and the electoral college.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Next time can we choose the greater of two goods?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;To pay a parking ticket, I have to click "Add to Basket" as if I went to the Municipal Justice Store and browsed around for a nice citation.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Maybe Republicans would get serious about #climatechange if we called it "Recapitalizing snow and ice banks."&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;"Wake of the Flood" was the tidal track of the Grateful Dead's 1973 album. #pun&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;cite&gt;Atlas Hugged&lt;/cite&gt;, in which John Galt attends Burning Man.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What do you call a really cute cephalopod? Squeed!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I know I'm not going to eat half the food I bring to &lt;span style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='https://burningman.dreamwidth.org/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png' alt='[community profile] ' width='16' height='16' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='https://burningman.dreamwidth.org/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;burningman&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. I just wish I knew which half.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I'm into second-order psychedelics. I don't take drugs myself, but I thoroughly enjoy consuming the output of those who do.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;When God closes a door He goes to the window, opens it, sticks His head out &amp;amp; yells &amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;m as mad as hell and I&amp;rsquo;m not going to take this anymore!&amp;rdquo;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Thank you Mario, but the princess is the protagonist in her own feature film!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Mallard abduckted.  Fowl play suspected.  #terrible #pun&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=flwyd&amp;ditemid=370876" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
