@dr3slan Sending a cashier's check to a town court to pay a traffic ticket since no one told them it wasn't 1985 so I couldn't pay online. This was after I had to FAX them to plead guilty. — PolitiTweet.org

Being born must suck so much. You’ve only known dark and quiet and warm and suddenly it’s bright and loud and freezing. You have to figure out how to breathe. You have no idea what the fuck is going on. And this is all after having being squished miserably through a little tube. — PolitiTweet.org

Finnish, Estonian, Hungarian, and Arabic are way harder for English speakers to learn because they're not Indo-European languages. All the other languages here are cousins that evolved from a single common ancestor language that was spoken 4,500-6,500 years ago. https://t.co/DE0Mp9sqke — PolitiTweet.org

Beat Iran / lose to England: In unless Wales beats England (in which case it comes down to goal differential vs Wales). Beat England / lose to Iran: Need Wales to either draw against England (then it depends on GD vs England) or beat England (then it depends on GD vs Wales). — PolitiTweet.org

If the US wins both of the next matches or wins one and draws one, they’re into the knockout round. If they lose both, lose and draw, or draw both, they’re out. If they lose one and win one, it’s complicated (see below). — PolitiTweet.org

If @FiveThirtyEight predicts 10 elections to be 60/40 and the favorite wins all 10 times, that’s not a perfect record. A perfect record is if the favorite wins 6 times and the underdog wins 4. But if that happened people would still call them out on “being wrong” those 4 times. — PolitiTweet.org

We can imagine a bell curve called the "Thought Pile" that represents public opinion on any given issue at a given time. The story of interracial marriage is a story of the Thought Pile steadily moving over time, like an organism. As it moves, the Overton window moves with it. https://t.co/ZpSJGgdGHf — PolitiTweet.org
Tim Urban @waitbutwhy
One of the most incredible examples of a country changing its mind on an issue. Without free speech, the incredibly unpopular 1958 viewpoint that said "there's nothing wrong with interracial marriage" would never have seen the light of day. https://t.co/oPQXo99O56 — PolitiTweet.org
