I’m sitting with my 95 yo Dad on his death bed. I get my progressive politics from him. I walked precincts for McGovern in 1968 with him. His politics got more radical as he aged. I love you, Dad. I will fight for what is right in your honor.

I’m an older man. Sexually active since like 1974. I’ve never once felt like I’ve had to force myself on a woman. I’ve always known when a woman is willing or not. It’s not hard to tell. It hasn’t been hard to find willing partners. What is wrong with these men?

My youngest daughter is 21; she has lived through everything. The collapse of the economy in 08, we went from upper middle class to bankruptcy and now this. She worked super hard to get into college and she’s missing the college experience.

At some level, I think that HAVING children is selfish. This from a father of 4. Do we have children just to justify our own existence? I know people that don’t have children that have amazing lives and I know people with children that are huge narcissists, kids are ignored

My ex was exactly that. She had never had a man that took the time to please her. She loved it! She couldn’t get enough lol

I’m just done with all TV news. This is the era of anything for ratings and the rise of pundits. These are not journalists. I’m kind of struggling to figure out where I can get facts. I little bit of NPR and some Twitter with healthy skepticism.

A beautiful thread. I am 😢. This is what’s missing from much of our society today. I’m an atheist now but this is morality that I learned growing up in the Methodist church. Jesus was humble and every life is precious.
@MichaelDTubbs
I agree Mayor Tubbs. Are we going to try to the same old tired methods that haven’t worked? Mass incarceration destroys communities. We have an opportunity to try something new without spending city funds. What’s to lose?

My sister that’s two yours younger than me tells me horror stories about what she endured in her teen years. All creepy men. She’s really smart and beautiful. Never a BB shot in the ass, though.
@Jorgeleon17
Perhaps I’m just a naive romantic but I think there is a public trust element to sports. Yes, the owners own the team. The teams don’t just belong to the owners. They are part of the fabric of a city. Fisher is betraying that trust in the unbridled pursuit of profit s
@Jimfrombaseball
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately with the A’s imminent departure from Oakland. The list of great baseball players born or raised in Oakland is very impressive. It’s very sad that straight greed is going to diminish that history.
@WindowsByTheSea
There was never a serious commitment to the resources required to build the infrastructure for trains. The oil companies and auto manufacturers interfered, too.

Ok, let’s see. A “reporter” for Quillette. It’s a right wing set-up to discredit

I really enjoy your posts. I love the jokes and the poems. If you want to follow me, that’s fine, if not, it’s fine too. I’m not on here for followers, I’m here for follows like you

@BillClinton
I cry so hard when I think how the white Europeans treated the native people in this hemisphere.
@DebHaalandNM
is an historic choice as Secretary of the Interior. She probably won’t be able to undo all the damage but it’s about damn time.
@eveewing
Thank you, great thread. I live in a city with similar gun violence issues. Our mayor
@MichaelDTubbs
is trying some innovative solutions. Hopefully, those solutions will work and can be scaled to larger cities.
I completely agree! She is fearless; she is not afraid to confront the christofascists when they try to spread their lies. She has endless energy and she’s always right on point.

Alexandria could you please support and assist this young woman to get in to organised politics. What an asset she would be. She is an awesome political observer. Been so for years. Her name is Maya Nguyen. From San Francisco. Only 19.
@Nguyen_anime3
Unpopular opinion. We missed our chance with the metric system > English measurements. The 24 hour clock is > am and pm. I was a buyer for many years and had to do math in 12’s instead of 10’s. 0-100 acceleration over 0-60, I could go on. Posted at 2106 lol
@MaureenShaw
Now I’m rethinking the online dating thing. I was just getting ready to do a profile. Has to be easier for men, right? I mean to find a woman who doesn’t support drumpf and is in favor of woman’s control over her body?

I wish I could say that but that hasn’t been my history. I just popped a nicotine lozenge in my mouth. I’m completely addicted to nicotine. That’s just one example
@GregStohr
As a longtime California resident, I can say there are two distinct Californias. Coastal and interior. The interior is where the dissent about Covid lives. The NorCal valleys are the Florida of California.
@RockitQueen50
I was way way worse at a much younger age. I put my parents through a lot. Rest they’re souls❤️. My take is that your kids are gonna do what they’re gonna do. Your time as a parent is done. Father of 4
@kyokoTHEpoet
I’m not sure I can say it any better than others have said it but I think that you’re a very interesting person and a wonderful poet and author. You are definitely one of my favorite follows. I think I can speak for many of us when I say that we’re here for you 😊
@kyokoTHEpoet
People are awful. My disability is the kind that you can’t see. I know that there are people who think that I’m just lazy. For that matter, sometimes I wonder if I’m just lazy. But what they don’t see is that it often takes every ounce of my strength just to leave my house.
@DieselBABE20
Travel. Completely restore our 1964 Chris Craft 30’ Constellation. Repower her with diesels. Buy a house in the water with a dock. Travel. Buy cars and motorcycles; open a collector car dealership. Start a foundation to help others less fortunate
@BaseballJeff1
His 3 homers against the Tigers will never be forgotten. Remember that the Tigers were huge favorites. That game set the tone for the series. I love the KungbFu Panda. Forever 😊

BTW, she hates when I say that we’re like twins. We look very much alike and we both have great hair 😂😂 I have four sisters and they all have stories about creepy men. I kinda don’t like men. I’d choose the bear if I was a woman 😂
One benefit of all that we’re enduring is that my neighborhood is very quiet. No traffic, I can hear the surf. There is definitely less air, noise and light pollution.
@WindowsByTheSea
Always the collective welfare. People of means don’t really need government. It’s the people who are struggling that should be helped by g’ment. I’m a social democrat in the Northern European model. I understand that the tax rates are very high but the g’ment provides services
@NatashaCL7
Lol reminds of a song by the Tubes, a band from SF. This song is very snarky but they do answer the question. ‘How do you know when you’re really in love, do violins play when you’re touching the one that you’re loving?’
@angel_0f_deathx
I didn’t know I was supposed to react lol. It seemed like the women were just having fun with it. I’d probably make friends with the bear and we could all have fun 😂😂
