The US is unusual in that, while trying to bribe petty officials is a crime, bribing powerful officials is not only expected, but fully institutionalized. https://t.co/8pGpz3ZdXu

I don't know why; after all, if they have nothing to hide, they have nothing to fear from answering just a few questions. https://t.co/r3G7oDLKff

I liked Pride so much better when it was one day celebrated by grass-roots organizations than a whole month ballyhooed by major corporations with rainbow-hued consumer goods, and with hypocritical expressions of solidarity from politicians and cops.

My response to ANY headline which starts, "So-and-so wants you to…" is to immediately move on while saying, "Too bad for So-and-so".

Every week that passes makes me just a little more glad that I gave up on square "employment" in 1995. I can't even imagine having my income controlled by authoritarians with no sense of proportion. https://t.co/j8pNYZTkNm

If someone tells you they want to "reinvent" some basic human need such as food, sex, or housing, just smile at them and keep nodding while you back slowly away. Then when they turn to look at something else momentarily, run like hell.

Somebody needs to lock all 50 state governors in a big cage together, then wait a week and throw in a handful of tableware.

Oooh, much closer. Try "after attacking woman" or "after assaulting woman"; you can get closer to reality if you try. https://t.co/Oh6tZcy96e

I reckon it's time to remind all my new readers that I'm wholly uninterested in partisanism of any flavor. And I *especially* don't care WHY you think your particular object of worship is better or your particular bête noire is worse than every other sociopath in office.

The notion that "experts" should run everyone's lives automatically assumes that they can reliably distinguish all manner of details about the complicated lives and personalities of millions of individuals they've never met and know virtually nothing about. https://t.co/z5lTtiF9Ts

Oh look, it's today's use of the word "everybody" to mean some set of people much smaller than the actual meaning of "everybody".
I learned in childhood that virtually no public use of the word "everybody" ever truthfully includes me. https://t.co/4QsrlepQMk

Hi, new readers! Are you confused about which "wing" to sort me into based on my retweets and professed views?
Good.

Are you one of the women who's been whining for YEARS about how it's not "fair" you need to take care of contraception, and that men "should" have vasectomies?
I ask you now: are you willing to trust your life & freedom on the word of some dude who's trying to get in your pants?
