"Win or go home" … # SF Giants take the lead 2 – 1 with an error in the 10th; man on 1st, man on 2nd, 2 out. #
@ CFL_Esks – Nice item on @ CFLonTSN . The shop's gonna run out of # 2 gear! ^5 #
Maybe "social media" is 90% anti-social scam; folk celebrate the fact of facelessly "Liking" or +ing …. the worst sort of reductionism. #
You don't stand up to bullies. And you don't want us to stand against Taliban. You really are failed as body politic. #
Sandusky uncovers a nasty conspiracy (He did nothing wrong, according to his statements.) and Romney identifies PBS as a massive threat. #
"Capitalism produces choice of producers." F'ing bullshit. Just look at big pharma. Aren't you tired of swallowing lies? I mean really. #
Who is Mitt Romney, really? He's whoever he needs to be to curry power and favor. You feel okay about that? FFS … #
Romney's in so many ways the perfect GOP candidate: fundamentally unprincipled. #
@ LifeAligned The way this thread snapped is paradigmatic. Perhaps +Protension is just a piece of fluff? in reply to LifeAligned #
My America cousins are endless source of sadness. They vote for O and "change", then reward GOP for sabotaging that project. Such a sad folk #
Maybe Romney isn't just the perfect GOP candidate. Maybe perfect PotUS for American people: ideals and principles bedamned, gimme money. #
What I studied for years: how tens of billions of dollars are spent each year on pet care products. And candy. Check it out … do. #
Decriminalizing marijuana would save billions in costs, save thousands of jobs blighted by criminal records, castrate drug cartels … no go #
Sad to see Twitter DM fall apart. I send 3 DM, recipient says he sees 7. Previous 4 hadn't been notified. And they're dated last December! #
Anyone have access to PsycLit? Do me a kindness: see if there are results for "discourse variance". Google is dumb. #
Being a "grown up" and being an "adult". Same thing? How about "reacting" and "responding", same? Sad, watching death of culture. #
# Dharma – Not having received transmission I've been kind of stuck. But in "Lamp for the Path" I find "Union of Insight and Means". EMaHo! #

If you encounter a really nasty bully, think of the dozens and dozens of people who previously indulged and tolerated or just ignored. # borg #
After decades I'm losing steam. Others' constant pandering for RT and "like" is sucking my will to live. Such a pathetic culture. #
@ coffeepartyusa Only a fool gets ahead of the electorate. And the electorate is as though brain-damaged. in reply to coffeepartyusa #
IMF comments that the world economy is stumbling. Not doubt right-wing ass-hats will blame that on Obama's policies. #
@ davegray # Techne Heidegger's essays on technology are pret'near a must read. # Praxis in reply to davegray #
Psychopaths are masters at exploiting personality defects. Just look at ring-wing conspiracy theorists: deceit, deception, specious logic… #
Ad on right-wing nutters TV show: "You chose to stay true to your roots and create your own values." Uhhh … excuse me? F'ing nutters. #
@ davegray "Question Concerning Technology" is more correct, but "essays on technology" will get you lots of results. in reply to davegray #
@ davegray What he was exploring wass /*yoiks!*/ in my words, the relationship between abstract knowledge and technology i.e. real-izing. in reply to davegray #
@ davegray My fave context: understanding how a tube works (i.e. a "valve" as Brits call it) then transistor is merely variation on a theme. in reply to davegray #
@ davegray p.s. for me PERT and Gant were quantum, where word processing was not. Oh, and spreadsheet likewise: breakthrough thinking. in reply to davegray #
@ davegray For decades after Gutenberg no books had page numbers. And then came ToC. And then index. And the footnotes. And then ;-) in reply to davegray #
@ LifeAligned Actually a series of 140 is precisely what I mourn. Folk think of that as though some peak achievement. EMail or IRC far better in reply to LifeAligned #
@ LifeAligned In effect the same as "damned with faint praise". A string of bumper-stickers grounding the energy and leaving nothing. in reply to LifeAligned #
@ LifeAligned That all need discourse is ridiculous. That none … I call that the death of culture. in reply to LifeAligned #
@ LifeAligned I don't know what "that" turned a corner. As for 200 or 300, I don't think you mean quantity = quality. in reply to LifeAligned #
@ LifeAligned p.s. in my discourse system I jokingly impose "42 words". But of course nobody laughs, because nobody bothers thinking. HeyHo in reply to LifeAligned #
@ LifeAligned Simplest: "like" or + or RT suffices because … why? how? except that really nobody has anything worth saying. Doom. in reply to LifeAligned #
@ LifeAligned BTW "serial partial attention" … I call that a disease. But I'm sure psychopaths world-round celebrate the phenomenon. in reply to LifeAligned #
@ LifeAligned Or maybe it's "constant partial attention" … since the buzz phrase matters so much more than the actuality. # borg #pathology in reply to LifeAligned #
@ LifeAligned BTW back-channel I'm watching the NYYankees, listening to a radio documentary on War of 1812, and preparing to bottle beer. heh in reply to LifeAligned #
@ LifeAligned heehee … wielding a yumi, there is never other than 1 thought in mind. Wielding a katana, the entire cosmos is at hand. heh in reply to LifeAligned #
@ LifeAligned GPlus +Protension, if you will. _Hasta_ in reply to LifeAligned #
I'm still partial to football, but watching a good baseball game really is a pleasure. #
Has Nietzsche's writing played a role in your life? How about Fromm? so why the hell would I have bothered. W'n culture is brain-dead. #
# Gamification Would you team up with your friends to tear down false knowledge about, say, global warming? or against gays' marriage rights? #
What's community? It's where you aren't required to maintain deception and false front. Where open authenticity is an option. (Next Q?) #
@ davegray Snooped and found this: http://t.co/xfJXb4uJ < Realized I hadn't used poeisis in my pitch! ;p in reply to davegray #
@ PnP_CBC re: HuaWei – cannot possible divorce the company from national interests. p.s. your tweet stream is stale; say something! #
Social buzz about Justin Trudeau? Indeed. For my part: I've been dreading hearing about him, and then hearing even more about him. #
@ ryderjaphy Avoid/reject, apply anti-dotes, transform … so lucky we are, to have different means and teachings for different persons. in reply to ryderjaphy #

@ pietrosperoni Ah, operational metaphor/simile. "Like", + and RT are as poll responses. "Discourse" (as I see it) is as focus group product. in reply to pietrosperoni #
@ thezachmaginnis The water we feel so easy about wasting is tens of thousands of years old. Older. in reply to thezachmaginnis #
@ waxpancake Good on yuh. But beware: very seductive hobby / habit. cc: @ TMFSpeck in reply to waxpancake #
@ kim heh … _double entendre_ in reply to kim #
# NFL – Brees throws 2nd TD of the game. OMG those NO receivers are voodoo good. #
Good lord NO receivers are sick. # NFL #
@ sammartino Gangnam Style come to mind? cc: @ eprenen in reply to sammartino #
"Mob Doctor" … I was just thinking: encountering conservatives publicly, I'm always amazed how dishonest they are. To friends, to enemies. #
Tainted beef recall grows yet.again … time for more cutbacks in inspection? Gawd conservatives are ignorant. #
Bush made up reasons to attack Iraq, Romney bases his economics on magic beans, Harper doesn't care about consequences. # Ideology #
The Religious Right in USofA is a disease. Did you know that O's "Muslim advisors" blocked access to WH for Jews and Christians? Me neither. #
Can't recall just who, but one # NFL RB yesterday has 4yrs on the field and a total of 0 fumbles. It's an individual thing. # CFL #
CFL – Is why I always, always, always play Defense: gotta luv taking points away. hooa # WPG #
A long long time ago I concluded that writing would just add to the thrash. Decided to go double or nothing. So I come away w/nothing. HeyHo #
"I like this, therefor it's good" isn't unique to right-wing troglodytes. Opportunistic "progressives" are a blight on body politic. #
Just another mindless day for you? "Counting the Cost – Who stole the American Dream?" > http://t.co/8k9cHS79 < (YouTube 25mins) #
Give things, for what? "Nice" people routinely surrender their integrity for the consumer life. Hell-realm world is on its way. Thanks? No. #
In my 40yrs of activism I've seen it countless times: folk offer support … conditional only on collusion and mutual affirmation. # borg #
@ Naljorpa108 That link is 404 here. in reply to Naljorpa108 #

# USPS Priority International is bullshit. $25 for a book … left 2 weeks ago … tracking shows left LA 10 days ago. Fucking thieves. #
Yuppies kidz have learned to take pride in cutting corners. 80/20 "release fast; release often" low-hanging fruit. Our culture is doomed. #
I always get a great deal of pleasure from watching someone beat Toronto. # CFL #

@ pietrosperoni Yes, RT and + and Like is core. But what I see is a slide down towards that and no more. "Bumper sticker politics". in reply to pietrosperoni #
@ brianbreslin If I had comedic talent I might be able to spin up a joke on how certain troglodyte behaviors make me intolerant. HeyHo in reply to brianbreslin #
Tricky, trying to deal with taboo. Red-neck righties glory in it, while decent folk pretend there's nothing wrong. #
"Like" and + and RT actually reduce the individual. Discourse easily expands on the personal, the person's story. But no interest! #
The # pathology I've been struggling against for 40yrs can be summed up: you want folk to Follow you, to Like you. I want folk to think. #
@ pietrosperoni Reminded myself of 1976, realizing that enlisting people, recruiting them as members is the least positive outcome. # autonomy in reply to pietrosperoni #
When membership in a group or movement reduces your personal responsibility … is that seen as a positive? Yes. Is it positive? Not a bit. #
@ MattDuniganTSN heh … paparazzi on the set! in reply to MattDuniganTSN #
@ gruber I don't think @ Jack_Welch 's blurt is trivial. A cultural disposition to fiction from someone with history of heavy lifting? Scary. in reply to gruber #
@ drgrist This was the issue I cut my teeth on in the 70s. That and apartheid. in reply to drgrist #
"Like" and + and RT are worth the effort these gestures require, i.e. very very little. Yet folk lust for them, and celebrate. # MereMadness #
Gotta say BC plays real pretty football. # CFL #
"'Gangnam Style' now most-liked video in YouTube history" > http://t.co/4BvRTv5u < (Guinness World Records) #
"Gangnam Style" breaks all records for popularity. That could tell you something about "Like" and + … if you didn't plug your ears. #
heh I guess Calgary deserves TD now and again. # CFL #
Pretty game. Lotsa classy key plays. Gotta luv it. # CFL #
When folk romanticize gang bangers, biker types … do they not know that these are cheats, liars and bullies? or is that the thrill? #
@ CatholicismUSA Have a look a basic social justice issues, specifics like children growing up in poverty. Data. Facts. Reality. # sanity in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ CatholicismUSA Have you read Kant on peace? Waging economic warfare destabilizes human community. Like poisoning wells. # debt in reply to CatholicismUSA #
The young asshole who ruined my evening y'day: so righteous, so sensitive to offense. Yet offensive at every turn. Like right-wing. # Madness #
Big Bird making an appearance on SNL. heh #
@ pietrosperoni Yes. What I looked into (long before + and Like and RT) was how that valence is /opening/ to discourse. Primitive/primary. in reply to pietrosperoni #
Bill O'Reilly banging the drum for "I make my own way!" … "robust capitalism" rather than West European "socialism". Cocky. #
@ IdeaGov Straight out of West Wing. ;-) in reply to IdeaGov #
@ theonlyadult The GOP's line is simple: until/unless there is 2nd Coming, everything is evidence that liberalism is false and wrong-headed. in reply to theonlyadult #
@ pietrosperoni Problem: stupification of the commons. I should be able to use Hesse's "glass bead game" as rich metaphor. But it fails. in reply to pietrosperoni #
@ MindDeep We spend so many hours "just sitting" with the knowledge that insight takes only a moment. ;-) in reply to MindDeep #
@ dzigarkongtrul I've always called it "authentic presence in the moment". That doesn't capture popular imagination. KyeHo in reply to dzigarkongtrul #
@ Borthwick Dangerously foolish formulation, expressing the brown-shirt version of group-think. Clarfy please. cc: @ jayrosen_nyu in reply to Borthwick #
@ pietrosperoni # ImplicitKnowledge – see "No, you’re not entitled to your opinion" > http://t.co/woQAUylm < via @ Borthwick @jayrosen_nyu in reply to pietrosperoni #
In most situations "yes man" is taken not as a positive. But with "social" media mere "Like" or + or RT is as though golden. # Variance #

@ JamesValvis Nope. Next fiction? cc: @ CatholicismUSA in reply to JamesValvis #
@ CatholicismUSA I haven't been writing? So, what, you've been hearing voices in your head? Nutter. cc: @ JamesValvis in reply to CatholicismUSA #
# YEG – FYI Joseph is starting for the # Esks #
@ NaomiAKlein "Stop the Drones" can always use another voice. ^5 in reply to NaomiAKlein #
@ CatholicismUSA "Incompetence is the thin edge of a wedge called corruption." Perhaps fiction has dulled your brain. cc: @ JamesValvis in reply to CatholicismUSA #
# CFL Did you catch the look in Williams' eye as he was preparing for that return? Brilliant. # Esks #
# Esks – No obvious reason to overturn … completed pass. Move along. #
Someone kick Lawrence in the nuts for me please. # Esks #
Pondering Hunter, and gonzo, I again wonder at the lust for violence and debauch. Like moths to a perverse flame. #
Here's something about success: with it, you will never ever see people clearly. It distorts everything. Is that the real aim? #
Big stop from Dee? # Esks #
@ EclecticBlogs … I've never been one for counting on luck. Press on. Make the tackles. Execute. Bla-blah … we've got a team to build. ^5 in reply to EclecticBlogs #
Looks like Stamps and Joseph have had the time they needed to get their timing. hooa # Esks #
@ EclecticBlogs SideBar I rarely win pool with my friends. Because I don't practice the easy shots. Then, for money, 95% easy shots. ;-) in reply to EclecticBlogs #
@ EclecticBlogs Oh no, no … I meant I don't practice the easy shots when playing friends. Stretch, stretch, stretch … then relax. in reply to EclecticBlogs #
Want a clear picture of my cohort's failings? Look how they lionize Hunter Thompson. Ultimately weak. #
@ CatholicismUSA I say you feed on resentment and half truths … you call that drivel. You've become unbalanced. in reply to CatholicismUSA #
Interesting that the most insight into Hunter S. Thompson comes from politicians, both Dem and GOP. #
On balance though … Andy Warhol 3.5, Hunter S. Thompson 8. #
# Esks – Watch the best NFL QBs. Sure, heroics now and again. Mostly? Play calling and execution. Meat&Potatos #
Nice defense on the punt. Good stuff. # Esks #
@ CatholicismUSA "stand for nothing believe nothing and offer nothing." I wrote "I see neighbors with diff opinions. You see enemies." # flake in reply to CatholicismUSA #
In my 15 minutes of fame I said the biggest threat to democracy were the angry conservative dinosaurs. Out of their time. @ CatholicismUSA in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ CatholicismUSA I wouldn't say, "You're just an angry man." I'm as angry as you. Maybe more. But you lie about it. I don't. # Spirit in reply to CatholicismUSA #
Oh woa. Did he say "#Esks have losing record when leading at the half"?! Yoiks. Zounds. Gadzooks. cc: @ Dave_CHED #
@ Dave_CHED No tweets in an hour? What, your dog died? (Oh lordie I hope this isn't a foot.mouth moment.) cheers in reply to Dave_CHED #
@ CatholicismUSA BTW Taliban-style Islam says you don't need to tell truth to non-believers. Just what you think. Coincidence? # Pathology in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ CatholicismUSA Of course you call it dysfunctional. Because you deny/repress and then abreact/project. Yes, exactly. # SocialPathology in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ Dave_CHED pfffffffft this LER was multi-tasking before the term existed. /me hands Dave a cheese-chilli dawg. in reply to Dave_CHED #
# Esks – Right. Now lets see if the fellas get all snag-toothed and tangle-footed. #
Charles went into a deep crouch as soon as he got to the sidelines. # Esks /me tunes 630 AM @ Dave_CHED #

# Esks are playing with confidence. Not stupid, not cocky … ok, not successful, but still. #
@ CatholicismUSA "You have eyes but you cannot see" … hunh. Odd, since I just had to re-quote to get you at all focused. False gods much? in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ EclecticBlogs Yaa, knock-downs in that last series was kinda diagnostic wasn't it. cc: @ Dave_CHED in reply to EclecticBlogs #
See the run on that short screen? See why I keep yammering about "run for 6, pass for 8"?! # Esks #
Get points. Think TD, come away with FG. # Esks #
@ Dave_CHED Proper thing. "Senior service" is what I picked up at CBC. (Decades ago did MCR and studio.) in reply to Dave_CHED #
@ EclecticBlogs Now you're trolling for an argument. ;p But … got me thinking about the whole O thing. Poor line makes good plays look bad. in reply to EclecticBlogs #
"Don't throw it there" … NFL pass; NFL catch. Gorgeous. hooa # Esks #
@ EclecticBlogs I truly had been kinda ignoring O line. Took it for granted? Something like. But yaaa … it covers the data. in reply to EclecticBlogs #
We've had D. We have receivers. QBs aren't crappy. So … what's weak link? # Esks #
@ Dave_CHED – See, coach is multi-tasking. ;p #
Isn't that nice? Doesn't that kinda reinforce your faith in human nature. hooa, I say … h00a! # Esks #
@ EclecticBlogs But see, from what I've seen, they weren't so pathetic that we been moaning and bitching all along. And yes: foundational. in reply to EclecticBlogs #

@ mikesdharma p.s. SHOUTING is considered rude. Or at least bad manners. Mindfulness rather than clap-trap bullshit … whadya figure? in reply to mikesdharma #
@ politico Haaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaa! There's no horse-shitter like GOP horse-shitter! in reply to politico #
There, did you see where Stamps was? did you see the separation? Hunh? That's not atom-smashing. That's physics. # Esks #
Hear what @ Dave_CHED called it: "good timing throw" … that's the secret to run for 6, pass for 12. # Esks #
There we go … Stamps with separation … play call and timing. hooa # Esks #
@ CatholicismUSA Again, why can't you relate honestly to your own reality? in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ CatholicismUSA You are a sounding gong. "Love"?! That's for bullshitters like you. I talk about empathy/solidarity. Poor thing … in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ CatholicismUSA p.s. how come "again"? You never tweeted that thought before. You simply a liar? or lost touch with reality? # Pathology in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ CatholicismUSA But to reply: I'm angry about self-serving crap like "Better a fool for Christ than an angry joyless empty epistemologist." in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ CatholicismUSA "What is it you don't believe?" If you could use Twitter, you would use ReplyTo. If you could use he web, you'd find my … in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ EclecticBlogs What you said about Jyles? I'm lookin' for mah man Koch. in reply to EclecticBlogs #
@ CatholicismUSA " Lost God, chased psycho babble to replace becoming a lonely angry Canadian trolling about American politics." You stoned? in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ prairiegirlsk I trust what I heard from @ Dave_CHED … something over 30K. FWIW when I was there it didn't seem packed with lots more. in reply to prairiegirlsk #
@ CatholicismUSA But to reply, "What is it you don't believe?" That you are even in the slightest moved by the Spirit. Gong … go ahead. in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ CatholicismUSA Yes, I'm sure you've internalized a lot of bumper stickers concerning education. "Topic" != "understanding". in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ CatholicismUSA BTW "cognitive studies" is something you took from someone else. Not me. I'd never use that phrase. Cheat. Liar. Fraud. in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ CatholicismUSA Now that's the advantage of self-righteous pridefulness: you're stoned .. stoned out of your gourd. Hence: # SocialPathology in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ CatholicismUSA You article "tomorrow" is about social disorder. I say you're paradigmatic of social disorder. You simply ignore and ignore. in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ CatholicismUSA pfffffffft … little man. Because you live in fear, you believe that all others live in fear of "taking a hit". No Spirit. in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ CatholicismUSA Now see it's actually very simple. Which makes you a viper liar: you say I don't reply. I reply; you ignore. You cheat. # GOP in reply to CatholicismUSA #

My big Q about # Debate2012 did nobody in O's inner circle see this coming? That's not good. #
@ CatholicismUSA "Haven't heard a word about what you think about all you reject." Again: are you merely dishonest? or actually insane? in reply to CatholicismUSA #
I've always wondered: surviving the slings and arrows of fortune … why do people act so fragile? so frail? so weak? Low self-esteem. #

@ CatholicismUSA "Disorder is only considered sense by those who embrace it. For everyone else it it truly non-sense." Fascistic clap–trap. in reply to CatholicismUSA #

@ CatholicismUSA Get it straight, if that's possible: I don't demonize you. I think you're deeply disturbed. I have neighbors. You? Enemies. in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ CatholicismUSA BTW " For everyone else it it truly non-sense" is how extremist Muslims talk. I've always said US right-wing is Taliban. in reply to CatholicismUSA #

@ CatholicismUSA Ahmadinejad is a terrified Stalin-type at the top of a hierarchy he knows must fall. But ponder: who enthroned the Shah? in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ CatholicismUSA You're as vile as Ahmadinejad because you're as frightened and dishonest. Like vampires, you fear the light. in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ CatholicismUSA You need to bend truths to suit your purposes. You obey the Prince of Confusion, while professing the highest ideals. # Sick in reply to CatholicismUSA #

@ CatholicismUSA Easier to stick a badge on your arm and claim virtue than to actually pay attention to what you do. in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ CatholicismUSA p.s. there's no "fool for Christ" in what you write. It's all right-wing punditry. in reply to CatholicismUSA #

@ cameronreilly Oh heck no. I'm not suggesting partisan … just nuts&bolts. He was a Stalin-grade operator. With a twist! You'll see. in reply to cameronreilly #
I watch "Shark Wranglers" and am reminded how I earned my salt. So many good men don't have a lick of sense in them. Children. #
For the record 17yrs old I'd done airborne training … fucking around with C4 and such … fools have no clue. /*D'uhh*/ # borg #
@ craig_crawford I haven't seen "agitated". Haven't even seen surprised. Disappointed, perhaps. FWIW I never thought of him as golden orator. in reply to craig_crawford #
It all relates to death: the mere whiff of powerlessness and most folk skuttle towards power and promises of security. It's just weak ego. #
@ kayak234 Sorry I can't relate to that date bro' … or to voice swimming. But hey, keep on keepin' on! in reply to kayak234 #
@ kayak234 heh yaa … we come out the chute "batteries not included". in reply to kayak234 #

@ Haripremkaur What I didn't tweet in the first 5 minutes: "Looks like O is running on fumes." But I thought it. And it didn't get better. in reply to Haripremkaur #
Who we truly are isn't actually much of a problem. But the person we pretend to be? False, corrupt, deceptive … and for sale. #
@ kayak234 My d'uhh … sorry about that > http://t.co/x4FzTrBI < good morning ^5 in reply to kayak234 #
@ CatholicismUSA "Kings daughters" … wow … what part of self-aggrandizing pridefulness do you take as Christian? @ ProducerSusan in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ CatholicismUSA A man has a nervous breakdown, and you revel in that? You're a barbarian. in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ CatholicismUSA Ahmadinejad's statements serve your purposes? You are one seriously sick puppy. in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ CatholicismUSA The (painfully short) story you posted doesn't support your headline. You are the root of dis-ease. # RighWingPropaganda in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ drgrist That's the trajectory I witnessed. From real effective bus community in '68 through to disco and materialism late 70s. # yuppies in reply to drgrist #
@ DavidOAtkins It isn't binary. Square heads bounced me around at school, but "fellow hippies" were mostly poseurs. cc: @ drgrist in reply to DavidOAtkins #
@ Haripremkaur Oh, I wouldn't call it terrifying. Maybe too real? authentic fallibility VS fictional omnipotence? in reply to Haripremkaur #
@ CatholicismUSA The tweet should have some sort of "In Reply To" link. in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ Youxia88 Yes, of course, anyone who doesn't buy into your noxious BS is Satan's. # lunacy #
@ Youxia88 "I'm a female Wessstern Diamondback Rattlesssnake." Gee, why would I ever call you barbarians? # Lunacy #
@ CatholicismUSA You create fiction; throw sand. I neither support nor defend his regime. But you do, in fact, use Ahmadinejad's statements. in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ CatholicismUSA You should figure out how Twitter works. I replied to your story of the "naked mathematician". Nobody had bkdown last night. in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ CatholicismUSA Again, fiction … sand. Again: the (painfully short) story you posted doesn't support your headline. # propaganda in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ CatholicismUSA "Sounds like you agree with him." No, it doesn't. It can't. I said only: I support neither him nor his regime. in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ CatholicismUSA Your glee … like an angry little boy with a smutty joke; you encourage bitter cynicism. You trade in slander. It's sad. in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ CatholicismUSA p.s. your petty lies serve you as Shibboleth; you know your fellows by their compliant concurrence. # SocialPathology in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ CatholicismUSA PotUS had a nervous breakdown last night? You know otherwise, but crave compliments from those who sneer an snicker. in reply to CatholicismUSA #

@ CatholicismUSA I followed 3 of your tweets. You may be proud of your closed-mindedness, but I don't see that as a virtue. in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ CatholicismUSA "And you know that how?" Did you bother reading the source article? Perhaps you're just happy to profit from his illness. in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ CatholicismUSA You pretend to define truth? Yet more pridefulness … nothing like Christianity in your way of being. Behind me, snake. in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ CatholicismUSA You ignore the substance I point to, then call me a leftist. Are you simply insane? or proud of your deceit? in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ CatholicismUSA Everything about your blog is foul … noxious … toxic … dripping with scorn and contempt. # SocialPathology in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ CatholicismUSA BTW you advise ignoring what you find offensive? But you do the opposite. You amplify the negative, then revel in it. in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ CatholicismUSA Oh, hey, I do realize you consider yourself one of the elect. That's obvious from your self-righteousness and pride. in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ CatholicismUSA It's not terribly complicated: I see neighbors with diff political opinions. You see enemies, followers of Satan. # Pathology in reply to CatholicismUSA #
@ hooverwhalen Surely do wish that we were positioned to use this as an all out treatment of fundamentals! in reply to hooverwhalen #

Pennsylvania Republicans STRAIGHT UP LIE about history of voting abuse, to push through ID requirements. Such assholes they are! #
@ deviniyer G'day – I've been hammering that since mid-70s. Nobody much cares. It's a 20/80 issue; doesn't benefit from # AttentionEconomy in reply to deviniyer #
@ deviniyer p.s. decades in harness; I'm ready to clamber onto my blue ox and disappear into the setting sun. I might do a KickStart finale. in reply to deviniyer #
Auto-sales up over last year; house values up over last year. GOP sabotage didn't work. #
What I said in '84: reefs are indicators of ocean health. Great Barrier … 50% has disappeared. 80% in Caribbean. Woe … woe and doom. #

Funny how the personal becomes political. When we deny our own failings the stories we come up with create cover for the real villains. #
@ deviniyer I was impressed by how "poverty mentality" leads to insatiable greed / consumerism. # HungryGhosts in reply to deviniyer #

# UpTick – Manufacturers' orders up from AUG; industrial actiity up from AUG. GOP sabotage is failing. #
BTW I've been a huge fan of small firm manufacturing my whole life. In US, 500K jobs go un-filled. Yuppie sensibilities and greed. #
A new formulation for me: "Those who really care about personality politics are those I truly dislike. So I'm pretty much screwed." heh #
@ jamiebillingham That tweet from me? That came from revisiting what I was thinking mid-70s. Profit as end in itself => SNAFU. # SocialPsych in reply to jamiebillingham #
@ JamieBillingham In my experience good folk like @ DonIveson are truly too busy for oblong pegs like me. It's up to you and @ ThoughtStream . in reply to jamiebillingham #
@ jamiebillingham p.s. mention of @ doniveson et al flashed me back to pondering, "How would this make CJ Cregg's day easier and better?" ;-) in reply to jamiebillingham #
@ jamiebillingham Anecdotally, few yrs back Mayor Stephen Mandel opted to not attend a national mayors conference; lots of talk w/o product. in reply to jamiebillingham #
@ jamiebillingham And there we go. Personally I have often said that folk are //simply too busy//. But that's where dharma comes in. :-) in reply to jamiebillingham #
@ jamiebillingham War story: couldn't get engineers to spend 30minutes learning macros that would save them 3hrs each week w/better results. in reply to jamiebillingham #

@ jamiebillingham Breaking Bad was awful entertaining, in a pulp fiction sorta way. in reply to jamiebillingham #
@ Ziggy_Daddy That idea coincides with the over-arching game-plan i.e. maximize rate of profit regardless of long-term consequences. # piracy in reply to Ziggy_Daddy #
Dear American workers – Year after year you increase productivity. You haven't gotten your share of profits. What, you like being robbed?! #
@ Ziggy_Daddy Haaa! What shall we choose: human beings are innately inept, stupid, and incompetent? or sometimes dishonest and corrupt? ;p in reply to Ziggy_Daddy #
@ Ziggy_Daddy Same choice, diff motive: those are situational, so can improve (or worsen). Ain't no cure for stuhpud ;) cheers in reply to Ziggy_Daddy #

Harper Conservatives have 1 agenda: to show that federal government cannot be effective. Not with F-35, not with tainted beef. # GOP #
According to Conservative hack it's irresponsible to put tainted beef into context with history of food inspection. Ring-wingers are ASS. #

@ Ziggy_Daddy Now see, that's why I focused on formation of opinions in the 90s. (70s & 80s was ideology <G>) Politics, religion, UFO … in reply to Ziggy_Daddy #
@ Ziggy_Daddy Real players, conservative or "progressive" share a cynical view of "pragmatism". Party ID is just the team uniform they're in. in reply to Ziggy_Daddy #
@ Ziggy_Daddy Is how I ended up hooked on Buddhist psychology, actually. Late 70s. Clear picture of how ulterior motive distorts. # Cognition in reply to Ziggy_Daddy #
@ ITGeek 8yrs ago "GNodal" was at least 10yrs ahead of the curve. ;-p in reply to ITGeek #
@ UpayaChaplains I bookmarked a bunch of resources on something like that. PTSD prevention. Even adopted by US Marines! in reply to UpayaChaplains #
heh … how to stay below the radar: spend 10yrs at university but duck degrees. ;p #
Arnie "kept many secrets" from his wife. Ohhh do tell. Secrets about what? he was a Russian agent? that he actually hated golf? haaaha! #
@ ChrisTse_ And yet in Twitter location search Edmonton AB doesn't exist. I've been "Division No. 11" all these years. in reply to ChrisTse_ #
@ ChrisTse_ BTW that's a very normal technique. Array TZs by major cities, by country. Has been for years. in reply to ChrisTse_ #
@ PolitiVisor AFAIK they basically had a bread and circuses approach: enough common wealth to keep folk compliant. in reply to PolitiVisor #
@ ChrisTse_ We're fine. It's Twitter-kidz who are behind the curve. 80/20, you know? To them, YEG simply don't matter. At all. in reply to ChrisTse_ #
@ Ziggy_Daddy Read Trotsky on pragmatics. :-) For me it's simple: Do I chose (D) arsehole? or (R) arsehole? # Tactic #Strategy in reply to Ziggy_Daddy #

@ UpayaChaplains Yes, "brain fitness" is what they call the program. stay well in reply to UpayaChaplains #
@ UpayaChaplains I turned down different path. equiv of "brain fitness", but for discussion / decision making in public policy. # prajna in reply to UpayaChaplains #
# Insight – "60 Minutes" interview with Arnie … lovely line: "resolute non-instrospection". Classic conservative pawn! #
@ ryderjaphy What I've found hardest to describe / depict: the non-judgmental appreciation of human failings. Better/more than solidarity. in reply to ryderjaphy #
@ ryderjaphy … and I just now remembered the moment the Dzogchen Ponlop, Rinpoche gonged me on madhyamika: "center" but w/o walls. heh in reply to ryderjaphy #
"Non-judgmental" is the absence of something. (Most often false!) "Appreciation", yes, that's the # dharma I know. #
@ kayak234 Hi – No URL on your profile … no homepage? no blog? Nada? #
Interview with Arnie is kinda touching. And very symptomatic of "American Dream". p.s. "fascination with symptoms" is Zen 101 #
@ NGruen1 Pseudo-science certainly deserves derision. Bashing neuroscience merely bolsters anti-science sentiments. in reply to NGruen1 #
"666 Park Avenue" – Strip away the mystical/magical hokum and it's pretty good depiction of psychopathy. cc: @ 1_eddie @Ziggy_Daddy #

@ umairh I was about to tweet "There's one really big problem with cutting corners to get through the moment. One. It's called the future." in reply to umairh #
@ umairh p.s. when I know what I'm doing and why I'm doing it the way I am, then win/lose/draw the consequences are meaningful. Karma 101. in reply to umairh #
# YEG I mention how Twitter's "Location" doesn't include Edmonton ("Division 11") and get 0 attention. From anybody. It's insane. #
The buzz that comes from exploring a new topic or subject area is the same buzz from gaming. Doesn't mean it's effective or productive! #
@ CommonSenseSoc Sorry, I don't follow. Data location? You mean "Division No. 11" instead of Edmonton, AB? But I really don't follow you. in reply to CommonSenseSoc #
City X has Y number of meetings on issue Z. Multiplied by number of cities. Each year. Year after year. Sad waste. cc: @ jamiebillingham #
@ 1_eddie Oh, hey, look at Sopranos … normalizing the pathological. Or Arnie's life-story. Heroic?! /*shudder*/ cc: @ Ziggy_Daddy in reply to 1_eddie #
