@enkiv2 I’m not on Tumblr, for what it’s worth.

@natecull I guess “PeopleStream” was already taken.

Either way, it makes me think of refugees.

@morganth It’s also a little strange, I think, to celebrate Hanukkah with potatoes, which no Jew encountered until a sesquimillennium after the events in question.

@smays Every once in a while, a lawnmower will fling a rock…backwards.

@elecray7k You mean you want to be alone?

@natecull You’ve read Marcy Wheeler on how dumb Manafort was, right?
