@mathewi , I use the terms Maize and corn interchangeably, unless I am referring to a woman I knew named Maize.

@w7voa , well, that was basically what I expected from that guy. And I feel slightly dirty after reading it.

I have been checking the bird app looking for any notifications, and they have died down since Oct. At this point it is just the new "Did you miss this awesome tweet?" notifications. So now I am just unfollowing everyone, a few at a time. Starting with all the accounts that just repost the "change one word in a movie title" type posts.

@monaeltahawy We spent 20 years and trillions of dollars in Afghanistan doing the wrong things. We should have been training every woman in the nation how to kill, how to use a gun, and supplying them. We should have put them in power, had them be the police and military. Now the only alternative is to help them LEAVE.

@rustoleumlove @w7voa , yes, that line disturbed me as well. "II. ZIONISM IS AN INTEGRAL COMPONENT OF JEWISH ETHNIC IDENTITY". I call BS on that. There is NOTHING that requires Jewish people to be in favor of genocide and open air prison camps based on religion.

@w7voa , And that is offensive how?? It is a statemen t of fact, no one is responsible for where they are born...

We all know that if you buy a Rupert Murdoch newspaper you are directly funding people who have worked to subvert our democracy. By the same token, if you are still actively using Twitter, you are directly funding a person who explicitly supports people subverting our democracies and works against those who would preserve them.

Try boosting her toot. I hear chicks dig it.

@mur2501 , no matter what the cause, if an error can be made, it WILL be made, if we wait long enough. There is no way to insure anything will never happen. It WILL. And it's always amusing when it does...

@freemo @protecttruth , I strongly agree. I just say it is interesting to LOOK at the available data, and try to theorize about what it can mean. Anyone who draws conclusions is almost without doubt wrong on this issue. But, I have to admit my bias: I don't see social sciences as science.

@freemo @protecttruth , it is also interesting to look at homicide and suicide rates by nation, with or without gun control measures. I don't think guns actually play much of a factor in overall deaths. The only thing they seem to change is the existence of aberrations, like mass killings. Which are an incredibly small part of the big issue, the number of dead people. And even in the USA, the largest school killing in US history was not done with guns. Bath School murders.

@micahflee , I just went to the bird app to see what I missed in the last week or two. I have notifications that I missed posts, and running down my timeline a bunch of "What is the most disgusting food?" type posts. My life is less cluttered. I am annoyed that several journalists I like are still there only... But none of them had compelling posts that I saw.

@dillonliam rural living. It is kinda expected up front that there will be a shooting in most stories.
