What I don't understand is, why don't museum officials simply put a screen in front of them and ignore them until they start begging to be let go? Once they start pissing & shitting themselves and begging for food, their behavior could constitute a form of performance art…

People who think conformity in the '50s was about willing consent rather than extremely heavy social pressure have been watching too much "Happy Days" and should maybe crack open a few books. Start by Googling "McCarthyism". https://t.co/TvvGvTwqKu

When I was young, shooting a man in the back was the sure sign of a coward lowlife.
It still is. https://t.co/RuBW3T8IXU

"Capitalism" seems to be going the route of "human trafficking": terms that once had a specific meaning, but are now popularly used to mean "anything I don't like".

I've known interior designers; they're like horses. They need to be properly reined or they sometimes go off in bizarre directions, and when they do, other designers will follow them in a big herd, even if it takes them off a cliff of taste.

It's pretty hard to make an intellectually-honest argument for a position which is basically, "I know better than all other adults which pictures are magically 'bad' for them, so my views should be enforced with violence."

Every time I read about the horrible way city people interact with their neighbors, often involving violent government-employed thugs to carry out grudges, I'm just a little more glad that I live in the country with a nice, wide buffer of trees between me and my neighbors.

Don't worry, they've just enacted a means of paying for it. https://t.co/19SiO0p9QN https://t.co/PTs7hJ2YSD

This is what government *is*. Stealing people's children isn't some Trumpist abberation; it's something governments do over and over and over, throughout history and in every part of the world. https://t.co/uploln4yMk

That's pretty typically American, given the violence the US government inflicts on people who pay for goods or services politicians disapprove of. https://t.co/sXwFPg0Kle

Seeing this helps me to understand how a Mexican person must feel whenever Taco Bell introduces a new menu item. https://t.co/B2X0fPSE7P

How about just fucking changing it back to "personnel"? Shorter, more concise, and actualy accurate.
Which of course is why it won't happen.
Rule of thumb: if your term for something is so long it requires an initialism (in this case, "HR"), it's too damned long. https://t.co/jGbgGHL8uE

I just saw a politician complain about his opponents "putting a target on the backs of cops". Obviously he doesn't like this because he prefers it when cops put targets on the backs of young black men.

Even if this were 100% true, it completely misses the point. Free speech is not about taste or quality; it applies equally to great art, dreary political manifestos and modern TV shows. And yes, that includes porn, "hate speech", "blasphemy", and calls to abolish the police. https://t.co/RrlNKKKIQy

Go for broke; I say let's make it a million dollar minimum wage. We could have the smallest currency in the world, smaller even than the Iranian rial! https://t.co/IgmA2AvN0m

Why are so very many people so goddamned stupid?

The reason for this is obvious to anyone working on human rights issues: lies (especially involving supervillains and/or "children") are interesting and exciting, while the truth is mundane and boring. https://t.co/ItxcytF6bm

I really wish people wouldn't suddenly start retweeting months- or even years-old news articles as though they were current.
Please, y'all, look at the date before deciding to retweet.
