When I moved to Southern California I signed up for a beach volleyball course with Parks & Rec. During a game in Manhattan Beach I saw a vicious brawl between surfers and cops on the pier. No one else was shocked; they all saw the craft services tent nearby. What a midwesterner.
I was innocently walking on campus one day when I see a bunch of cool cars and a few people dressed in the 40s clothes. I thought a cool student group has a fashion show or something (Berkeley has awesome student groups) Until someone starts yelling at me that I should get out of the way. Turns out I was in the middle of the @OppenheimerFilm movie scene.

If there was ever a time I wanted people to retweet something - A vaccine specialist, Dr. Paul Offit, spells out how RFK Jr. played a role in discouraging vaccination rates in a small population. A measles outbreak followed which resulted in 83 deaths mostly of young children.

The the people who say β€œguns don’t kill people; people kill people,” I say fine, America doesn’t have a gun problem; it has a gun nut problem. Either way, the solution is the same. Buy back old guns and make it harder to buy new ones.

Attention grammatical navel gazers! Why do we say β€œa history” but β€œan historical account?” Is it because the first syllable in history is accented but the first in historical is not? And do we say β€œan” for a secondary accent too? So, β€œa hysterectomy” but β€œan hypothesis”?

And β€œa hypothetical” and β€œa heliport” but β€œan hereditary disease” and β€œan hallucination.” How bizarre to choose an article based on whether a syllable is unaccented versus having a primary or secondary accent.

British people, do you follow this stupid rule too? Or do you just drop all the H’s except for β€œherb” and the letter β€œhaitch”? (@petewarden @MafVosburgh @PhDrRichardson)

Good to know. But the MAGA dingbats will assume it’s a deep-state coverup because it conflicts with their outrage profile.

Strongly worded column by @hiltzikm that says an honest reading of DNI's covid-19 origins report undermines the major assertions made by the "lab leak" theorists. And he takes news organizations to task for credulity. latimes.com/business/story/2…

It’s an abnormal map.
I found a pub with an inverted normal map. If you understand what this means, you have to retweet.

Nodding so enthusiastically the ripples from my dad-chins are propagating through my whole dad-bod.

This Father's Day, can we as a society consider putting an end to the "Dad-" prefix that signifies something negative? Because: EVERYbody has a pair of comfy sneakers. Corny jokes are just a cultural touchstone. And those "dad rock" bands are blowing the roofs off packed arenas.

I don’t have any plans to commit crimes. But if things go very wrong and I accidentally, say, rob a bank, I will officially declare my candidacy for President, knowing that the GOP will fight any attempt to prosecute me.
