@pbump "That Maricopa County is more blue than the rest of the state isn’t really surprising."
Deep blue Pima County, where there's barely a functioning GOP, laughs and laughs.
@palafo "swear less"? whazzat? ; )
@palafo I go for the really peaty stuff, myself, but that's a very nice tipple indeed.

Veteran stopped Club Q shooter. Per NYT
It was Mr. Fierro’s first time at a drag show, and he was digging it. He had spent 15 years in the Army, and now relished his role as a civilian and a father, watching one of his daughter’s old high-school friends perform.
“These kids want to live that way, want to have a good time, have at it,” he said as he described the night. “I’m happy about it because that is what I fought for, so they can do whatever they hell they want.”
@dwillanski Just toss that right out the window

No need to open them to the public. Our email server isn't open to public signups. But using domain-connected accounts indicates that a user is who they claim to be.
We're not much larger — our plan is to have this a staff-only instance, not a public one. It took just a few minutes to spin up (and an hour or so debugging the email & Amazon S3 settings) with a droplet on Digital Ocean.

It took me all day to find some more words to throw at this evil in Colorado Springs.
I waited because I wanted to be careful. I wanted to be a good reporter and not saying anything I didn't know for sure.
We can't wait forever though. At a certain point, you have to call a hate crime a hate crime.
