A few months ago, I deleted the Twitter app from my phone to limit my Twitter usage to the computer. Now I've become the world's most prolific iOS Safari Twitter user. — PolitiTweet.org

As the Civil War was raging, the 1860s was an epic literary decade. Darwin: On the Origin of Species (1859) Dickens: A Tale of Two Cities (1859) & Great Expectations (1861) Carroll: Alice in Wonderland (1865) Dostoyevsky: Crime and Punishment (1866) Tolstoy: War and Peace (1869) https://t.co/LLbfZAKenv — PolitiTweet.org

The Dream Team was 30 years ago. Bush launched the Iraq War 20 years ago. We're closer to the 2050s than to the O.J. trial and closer to the 22nd century than to World War II. Super Nintendo debuted closer to the Eisenhower presidency than to today. — PolitiTweet.org

If Back to the Future came out today, Marty would be going back to the ancient past of 1993. Obama launched his first presidential campaign 16 years ago. Happy Gilmore, The Usual Suspects, Tommy Boy, Pocahontas, and Fargo all came out closer to the moon landing than to today. — PolitiTweet.org

Your annual New Years existential crisis, courtesy of me. Let's see: If you're around 40, today's 10-year-olds think of the 2000s the way you think of the 1970s and the 1970s the way you think of the 1940s. We're 30% through the 2020s & almost 1/4 through the 21st century. 1/3 — PolitiTweet.org

I’ll never understand why people say they’re “humbled” in these situations when they obviously feel the exact opposite of humbled. https://t.co/x01DFsq2Mm — PolitiTweet.org
