hmm, is it in my interest to have the same handle here as I do on the blue bird site?

@ejenk i wonder if the avg first grader can understand what a trader does. i suppose they can probably understand what a traditional silk/spice merchant/trader does but that's a bit different from what traders of today do

i'll say it's real fun to be present at the birth of a new community and to have a hand in seeding it.

In some ways, pence should be thanking trump for saving his political career twice.

The first time was when Trump picked him to be his VP. Pence was destined to be an after thought after his governorship - no path forward with his complete lack of policy chops and charisma.

@pareinoia how do you know it was a boy?

i feel like i've seen way fewer end of year retrospectives/resolutions this year than usual

@funkyduffy lol yea, the logic there is really quite something

none of this will end well ...

@funkyduffy there must some law of physics that says: wherever there's a void, bullshit must fill it

bing really is much worse than google for real time searches. this is bing's top result for "vatican rome blackout"...

it's incredible how much google trending searches tells us about humanity

how does a ball of taro maximally profit from this unrest?

just setting up my tooter
