  <title>Recent Tweets of Note</title>
  <link>https://flwyd.dreamwidth.org/370876.html</link>
  <description>I&apos;ve been &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/flwyd&quot;&gt;using Twitter&lt;/a&gt; a lot more lately.  Here are some clever things I&apos;ve said that are worth repeating.  I also set up a perl6 script to &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/search?q=%23quotefile%20%40flwyd&amp;amp;src=typd&quot;&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=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://realdonaldtrump.dreamwidth.org/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png&apos; alt=&apos;[personal profile] &apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://realdonaldtrump.dreamwidth.org/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;realdonaldtrump&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; said he&apos;d drain the swamp he didn&apos;t tell us that the effluent would flow into the Potomac and then into Chesapeake Bay (re: &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/ActualEPAFacts/status/843243797467348992&quot;&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&apos; dance.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Imma let you finish &lt;span style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://ncaa.dreamwidth.org/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png&apos; alt=&apos;[personal profile] &apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://ncaa.dreamwidth.org/&apos;&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=&quot;https://twitter.com/Mikel_Jollett/status/842797950640123904&quot;&gt;not shaking Angela Merkel&apos;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&apos;t move to a new body. (re: America&apos;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&apos;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&apos;t too.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I&apos;m more confused reading #Perl6 docs as an experienced programmer than &lt;cite&gt;Learning Perl&lt;/cite&gt; as a novice: &quot;Why&apos;d you make the sausage that way?&quot;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Don&apos;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 &quot;like a business&quot; governing, Trump&apos;s management style isn&apos;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=&quot;https://t.co/PeL0caBU31&quot;&gt;a Norwegian news website&apos;s new policy&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;There are no high-paying jobs at family ethnic restaurants, but it&apos;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&apos;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&apos;re willing to give up even home and family ties to pursue American values.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Freedom isn&apos;t free.  It&apos;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 &quot;go to programmer&quot;, but instead became the goto programmer.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Don&apos;t want to be subject to any government? 2000+ sqkm between Egypt and Sudan are claimed by neither.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bir_Tawil&quot;&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&apos;m not racist, I have black friends!&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;This bill isn&apos;t homophobic, several closeted legislators voted for it!&amp;rdquo;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I don&apos;t declare war on xenophobia.  I declare peace.  May it rest there.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;It&apos;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&apos;t keep evil out of a country; it doesn&apos;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&apos;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=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://potus.dreamwidth.org/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png&apos; alt=&apos;[personal profile] &apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://potus.dreamwidth.org/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;potus&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, while you&apos;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&apos;t come in meal deals. It&apos;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=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://realdonaldtrump.dreamwidth.org/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png&apos; alt=&apos;[personal profile] &apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://realdonaldtrump.dreamwidth.org/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;realdonaldtrump&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; should nominate Hillary Clinton for Secretary of State. She&apos;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&apos;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 &quot;Add to Basket&quot; 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 &quot;Recapitalizing snow and ice banks.&quot;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&quot;Wake of the Flood&quot; was the tidal track of the Grateful Dead&apos;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&apos;m not going to eat half the food I bring to &lt;span style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://burningman.dreamwidth.org/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png&apos; alt=&apos;[community profile] &apos; width=&apos;16&apos; height=&apos;16&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://burningman.dreamwidth.org/&apos;&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&apos;m into second-order psychedelics. I don&apos;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.
