@BrandonWC The politicized way this was handled seems to guarantee someone will prosecute him under state law if for no other reason than to burnish their image.

@lxeagle17 A lot of people took issue with your “reckoning tweet” in good faith, even if they were critical. I saw that reply and scrolled past it as a particularly unfair response. Suggesting it’s par for the course of the replies you received is disingenuous.

@dahvnyc That’s exactly what I said. There’s a lot of, “I was right about something about COVID and I’m still very and amorphously angry.” At whom? What do you want to be done now? Who is this directed at?

@lxeagle17 What does reckoning look like at this point beyond acknowledging the likely harms?

@SeanTrende @lxeagle17 “Everyone wants to be a member in good standing with the dominant group position, but people grow more extreme within homogenous groups as a way to conform.” – Bill Bishop It’s a pretty rational strategy if your goal is simply gathering attention to yourself.

@lxeagle17 @ununitedstates Framing does matter, and your counterpoint is more true at the moment than the original claim. I don’t know what was gained opening with, “This is a complete lie,” which was neither true nor necessary to make your valid point.

@JohnSurico Note that the comparison locations were a max. of three, up to a mile away from the subject location. Even with restrictions on other treatments, comparison locations should be plentiful in a smaller radius. Would like to see comparison data for small sample size elements.

@JohnSurico If the report’s claim is that the open space of a hydrant or parking restrictions may induce drivers to speed, that bike corrals and Citi Bike docks—which offer good visibility, but are a bit more opaque than empty space—rate worse would seem at odds with that conclusion.

He is trying to carve a middle path, claiming Dems and GOP inept, and positioning himself as an outsider. But he has little name-recognition, so resorts to ploys like this to build up his profile. If you aren’t getting paid to help him do this, why reply for free?

@FReddych @estoughton @BowTiedDetektiv @woke8yearold @anti_minotaur My bad, I was typing fast in freezing temperatures. For the first sentence, I meant to say, we don’t know that anyone got lower than a B-, just that anyone who did missed at least one class.
