@stribs I’m there still long as it’s a place that serves beer too. No mixed drinks for me. I might get drunk for a whole week to celebrate

@megansmolenyak Mark. But dad insisted, and so I’m Ralph Brandi IV. Made for lots of fun answering the phone, especially once my voice deepened and you couldn’t tell if it was me or my dad answering the phone.

@KuraFire I’ve known this since I was a kid. The Henry Ford Museum had fax machines from the 1920s that were used to deliver newspapers to homes.

Note: this only applies if you already have some sort of relationship with me. If you’re spamming me on behalf of a business or a conference or with a helpful link to add to my web site, then you can just fuck right off; contacting me multiple times compounds the offense. https://twitter.com/danrubin/status/995449368026255360

#HeyJohnKelly My great-grandfather, whose name I share, came here from Italy in 1875 with his mom and brother to join his father in Saginaw. His parents followed later, chain migration. His son, my grandfather, was a Marine in WW II, and his daughter was a WAC during the war.

#HeyJohnKelly My Ukrainian grandmother came to Canada in 1930 because America discriminated against east Europeans and she couldn’t come here directly. She came to the U.S. in 1933 via a sham marriage in Windsor, Ontario, to a friend of her uncle in Detroit who brought her here.

@danrubin @chamonixcamera Reminds me of the sliding mask that came with my Speed Graphic. Two shots on one piece of 4x5 film. The police department that used to own my camera used it to make mug shots.

@mholzschlag This assumes there are future historians, or indeed, a future. With today’s announcement, there may just be smoking radioactive rubble.

@dylanw Meanwhile, developers on deadline with their heads down trying to nail down bugs in their code don’t even notice the rocks flying overhead. Next project, they’ll be too busy trying to figure out the latest JavaScript framework to notice. Get your shit together and get me my wires

With all these examples of Дональд Трамп confessing to various crimes in public, all I can think of is @sarahkendzior and how she said Трамп loves being caught breaking the law and getting away with it….

@surlyshirley Um, no. I know I’m still in some measure a Midwesterner despite living in NJ for 40 years by the fact that I have never eaten Taylor Ham/pork roll. Putting it in ice cream won’t change that.
