@jackofallthumbs @choo_ek What’s even sadder, perhaps, is that life experience trained me to know that the photos would work in exactly the way they did. — PolitiTweet.org

@choo_ek FYI: When my 88 yr old father suffered his first stroke, the hospital staff in Connecticut were quite indifferent to him — an old dying Black man. The next day I hung bedside photos of him lecturing & getting an honorary doctorate. He was thereafter treated with great respect. — PolitiTweet.org

To assert conspiracy is to believe what you want when you are missing data to fully support what you want to believe. — PolitiTweet.org

@jryanbarnhill Most tweets are just thoughts of the day. But this one I've wondered since childhood — since learning of Base 10. — PolitiTweet.org

Unfortunately, with the Flintstones, there’s no hope they would count in computer-friendly hexadecimal (Base 16) because they have only three toes on each foot. https://t.co/UcFW4YJWBY — PolitiTweet.org

@jcarloszgz Problem is, in the Flintstones they have only three toes. https://t.co/ELwcpc9HyE — PolitiTweet.org

With four fingers on each hand, I always wondered whether Cartoon Characters would be good at counting in Base 8. https://t.co/vA36SaVKzq — PolitiTweet.org

@Michael38176549 NASA receives 4/10 of one percent of your tax dollar. Is that the “never-ending huge” budget you’re referring to? — PolitiTweet.org

Comet NEOWISE is now headed away from Earth — fading daily, until it disappears into the darkness of interplanetary space. Did you miss it this round? Not to worry. It returns in 6,700 years. — PolitiTweet.org

Academic @Penn Psychologist @angeladuckw, author of the book Grit, suggests that raw talent may be overrated. If so, then what does it take to be a great athlete, or to be great at anything? @chucknicecomic, @mythreeleftfeet, and I search for answers.

@palmerrdoodle @StarTalkRadio Yes. You will experience sunset about 1 second later for every 10 feet of elevation. You may have missed this tweet from a year ago. https://t.co/NcByKE1d4J — PolitiTweet.org

@godwinitai The experiment works both ways. Using the unaided eye, you’d need to build something nearly 100 miles across on Earth to be seen and resolved from the Moon. And vice versa. — PolitiTweet.org

@BrianFileman @dddbest Both Voyagers (1 & 2), both Pioneers (10 & 11) and the New Horizon mission are all leaving the solar system. The escape velocity depends on how far you are from the Sun, of course dropping the farther away you are. — PolitiTweet.org

My bad. The Comet is exiting the “inner” Solar system. It will return in 7,000 years. Would have to be going much faster to exit the Solar System entirely. — PolitiTweet.org
