a) I forgot this means Glenn loses twitter access, which is the funniest possible thing to happen to him

b) if he shows up On Here we need to do an emergency Fallon maneuver, he cannot be allowed to set up shop, our lives are all better without having to deal with his posts
I honestly forgot that Glenn Greenwald lives in Brazil I thought he was like…inside the internet or something

Gorsuch 'borrows', with examples cited as 'sloppy', and definitely keeps his job, while Claudine Gay 'plagiarizes' and is forced out. The differential treatment of Gorsuch compared to Gay, and the ultimate consequences, are so ridiculously obvious. www.politico.com/story/2017/0...

"In his treatise "On nonexistence" or "On Nature" [Gorgias] argues three points in connection. First, that nothing exists; second, that even if something did, a human being cannot sense it; and, third, even if something is sensed, it could not be articulated and explained to anyone else."
