  • 06:10:18 Retweeted @RadarOmega_WX 04:09:34 Unfortunately we are dealing with a major disaster situation in the Dayton Ohio area as a long track tornado has impacted a heavily populated area. Here is a very preliminary look at the track of the tornado.. #Tornado #Dayton #OHwx https://t.co/Lfa1eSPKvR
  • 13:38:27 Retweeted @Susan_Hennessey 13:05:48 Proceed with extreme caution on this one. The idea of Mueller getting a “draft indictment” doesn’t make much sense, the documents as described in this article don’t actually sound like a draft indictment, and even fragments of quoted language doesn’t sound like a DOJ legal memo. https://t.co/x2tBuJGDoF
  • 19:30:44 Retweeted @AstroKatie 18:33:42 [decades of research and data showing incontrovertibly that the Earth is warming]
    “Ehhhh… I’m not convinced; maybe we should wait and see”

    [pilots get confused about weird dots on radar]
    “OMG THE ALIENS ARE HERE”

  • 19:33:19 Retweeted @AstroKatie 19:28:35 Hypotheses to try before aliens:
    * balloons
    * drones
    * hallucinations due to stress & hypoxia
    * instrumental glitches
    * various kinds of accidents & debris
    * experimental aircraft made by humans
    * dunno, look, people make stuff up sometimes
    * combinations of all of the above in reply to AstroKatie
  • 19:41:50 Retweeted @MEPFuller 19:34:49 To summarize this thread on the CRS report about the GOP tax cuts:• Little, “if any,” effect on GDP
    • Growth is paying for about 5% of the lost revenue from the tax cuts
    • Very little wage growth
    • Skepticism that the tax cuts are even boosting capital investment https://t.co/Tk2zyHQlbX
  • 23:17:35 Listening to Amanpour : Angela Merkel, Ron Howard and Stacey Cunningham https://t.co/Dk5HsNdB0f
  • 23:56:00 Listening to Alyssa Milano: Sorry Not Sorry Trans Rights are Human Rights: Charlotte Clymer https://t.co/sY8Dc5CyH9
  • 23:57:57 Is anybody even slightly surprised? https://t.co/YAnj5w3LWa
