I don't cry easily, but as the dad of a teenage son with autism, ADHD & anxiety issues, watching Tim Walz's 17-year-old son(who has a non-verbal learning disorder, ADHD & anxiety disorder)standing up, crying & pointing to the stage telling everyone "that's my dad" just gutted me

I've already had people respond to the tweet telling me his kids don't seem stable. Which seems like a miserable way to go through life.

I just spoke with a couple of engineers/product manager types at WBD who have been working on the Max reboot & apparently there has been a frantic search this morning to figure out who signed off on the infamous "creator" tag on Max that is rightfully driving Hollywood a bit nuts

This is a really common belief in some Christian circles. A belief that everything from wearing masks to using ATM cards is a move towards a one world government that will bring on the Antichrist. The amazing thing is that the "Biblical proof" of this theory is one vague phrase.

This is the kind of thing that people who never been poor and need help would say. It's an extremely popular program for families. And the farmers markets near me have a program which matches SNAP spending dollar for dollar. So spending $20 gets you $40 of food.

I tweeted out something about him earlier, because I am the dad of a teenage son with autism, ADHD & anxiety issues. And my DMs filled up with people calling Gus creepy and damaged. It's just such a horrible way to go through life

I have to congratulate you on your ability to defend the campaign against the thing no one is criticizing. While ignoring the fact the campaign promised to release video then somehow seems to afraid to provide it. But I don't want to trigger you.

When my son was diagnosed, we stayed in MN even though it caused a lot of financial hardship early on. Because the state has some really great services available. And it's allowed my son to become the wonderful young adult he is, someone starting his 1st college class next week

I understand their point of view. But I have trouble understanding the upside of not voting for Biden. Trump would only be more pro-Israeli. And at least in the case of Biden, he's been working with Arab countries trying to move things in a better direction.

Having worked on some big site relaunches, I'm not surprised someone thought it was a good idea. Lots of dumb ideas pop up in any project. The big failure is that no one at the top (who should know better) caught it & realized how it would look #WGAStrong

The biggest shocker in this story is that Perez Hilton is still a thing. It's like learning some new music dropped when you see the new 8-track in the store.

And I don't know how this gets resolved. If Biden walks away, I honestly don't think Kamala Harris can convince voters to rally around her. This is the first time during this election cycle that I really despaired about what might happen in November.
