I'm not saying my driving in @gridgame is aggressive, but if this was a real car race I wouldn't be so much "disqualified" as "arrested for attempted murder".

My epiphany of the day is that with the combo of poorly researched slim articles, bad jokes, and ads for crap I don’t need, the Internet basically replicated the pile of Reader’s Digest Magazines and Fingerhut catalogs from my grandparent’s bathroom in 1988.

Lately I’ve noticed some Democratic politicians defending the current healthcare system by saying it preserves “choice” for Americans. As a former health insurance exec who helped draft this talking point, I need to come clean on its back story, and why it's wrong and a trap 1/11

Here's a cool little update: We're tweaking the schedules for Lines 2, 10, 12, 14, 19, and 20 on Monday.

Why?

Buses have been finishing their routes too early thanks to @PBOTinfo@twitter.activitypub.actor and @multco@twitter.activitypub.actor's new transit-only lanes.

Our community's efforts to speed up transit are working 🙌

I’ve always called myself Republican. I keep my Twitter feed generally apolitical & will continue to do so. Generally. But as of today, I’m switching parties. Over impeachment. The Republican positions aren’t consonant with intellectual honesty. As of today, I’m an Independent.

Many watch the GOP betray the rule of law, and think, “Our democracy can’t recover from this.”

I lived through a time when leaders of both parties and the Supreme Court ignored our Constitution and interned 120,000 of us, most of us citizens.

We can and will find our way back.

Now THAT's odd. I put the number 65 into @github markdown and the website rendered it as the Roman numeral "lxv".

Interesting: I have markdown

![n cubed](latex.codecogs.com/svg.latex?n)

at github.com/PeterDrake/drakeped

When I copied the displayed sentence including this and pasted it into a word-processor, it used the descriptive text "n cubed" rather than the generated image.

Text I just received from a collaborator:

"You got some good laughs from the crowd especially when you died."

Here are the GOP defenses I have heard so far to articles of impeachment, along with the knee-jerk responses I have been shouting at my television.

RT @michaelharriot
Everyone's talking about impeachment and Clinton & Johnson as the only presidents ever impeached. But most people don't know WHY Johnson was impeached.

So let me tell you the story about how not impeaching a racist president is a BIG reason why white supremacy lingers in America
