TWEETS OF NOTE

(@ClarkeMicah) Pseudobabble, trying to conceal its emptiness in polysyllables. Actually ‘scientific consensus’ is an oxymoron. Those who try to argue otherwise are arguing against the scientific method itself and in favour of pre-scientific priestly authority and imposed orthodoxy. Tweet.

(@Blue2Reaganite) Last year: “We’re not going to take your guns, you crazy, tin foil nutbags! We just want sensible gun reform laws!” This year: “We’re taking your guns. Virginia is the test run. Better just hand ‘em over now.” Tweet.
