I almost labeled this a ‘Friday Funny’, but then I realized that this man needs help on many levels, and that label would be cruel. It also illustrates how climate advocacy is wrapped up in emotions, as Eric Holthaus seems equally emotional about his personal issues as he does climate.
Above is a screencap. The original source for the Tweet is here.
The moral of this story? Don’t tweet while drunk, and don’t announce your drunkenness to the world. The follow up moral is that after your hangover clears, have the good sense to delete your tweet 13 hours later.
Schadenfreude!
His wife made a big mistake 5 years ago, but at least she’s correcting it. You GO girl!!!
May 13, 2018 quoted on WUWT
Eric Holthaus-“Over the past several months, I’ve stopped talking about climate change with my parents, my wife, and my sister in order to avoid heated dialogue about what I think is the most important issue in the world.”
michael hart May 13, 2018 at 4:53 am
I have some advice. But it’s for his long suffering wife.
She’s divorcing him because he’s not alarmist enough.
I don’t like kicking anyone when they are down. It is cowardly and it is wrong.
However, note that Eric lives in Minnesota, which is just south of Manitoba, the coldest province in Canada. After this absolutely brutal (cold, long) winter we just survived, it must be really difficult for any objective Minnesotan to believe in catastrophic manmade global warming.
Crop planting is about one month late across the prairies and there may even still be snow on the ground in the woods.
Given the plethora of credible evidence that climate sensitivity to increasing atmospheric CO2 is quite low, no more than approx. 1C/(2xCO2) and probably much less, there is no logical reason to believe in a global warming crisis – NONE!
I am therefore of the opinion that those who cling to the failed hypothesis of global warming alarmism are mentally ill – brainwashed by the constant media bombardment of warmist bullsh!t that never ceases.
“If it bleeds, it leads!” is the motto of the media, and rerunning endless stories of global warming is an easy to gain readership – also, some people are just not happy unless they get their daily dose of climate misery.
So seriously Eric – repeat 1000 times: “The global warming crisis does not exist! This is good news!“ You are deprogramming yourself – purging your system of all that warmist propaganda – keep it up and you may find yourself getting gradually happier. This is one needless stress in your soul – get rid of it!
Regards, Allan
Agreed, make snide remarks about someone’s personal difficulties because you disagree with with their politics is a mean and feeble act.
His obsession with climate alarmism seems to have strained his relationship with family and friends too. He should spend more time on WUWT and get an alternative to the constant hype. He would get a more balanced view and probable start feeling better.
“I don’t like kicking anyone when they are down. It is cowardly and it is wrong.”
However, I’m going to anyway.
When it is disgusting, diseased people like this, yes. Kick away.
zazove and hivemind
IF Eric is sincere in his comments, he is in a terrible emotional state. My comments, while direct, even blunt, were intended to help him.
I recently was asked to assist a man who was going through a terrible experience, in which criminal conduct by his ex-wife and her lawyer, in collaboration with corrupt police officers, had caused great harm to his children and him – it was an extreme case of the “Silver Bullet” child abduction, child abuse and extortion scam.
This man was so stressed he was almost incoherent, and was hurting his own case. My solution was adjourn the courtroom for a few minutes to instruct him very strongly to focus on the desired outcome – for him and his kids. It worked, is spite of continued criminal conduct of his ex-wife and her lawyer.
In my experience, when people are in great distress, they often can only be helped with blunt direction – do this, and don’t do that. Get the immediate problem solved, and sort out the “feelings” later.
It’s kind of like being first-on-the-scene at a car crash – I’ve done that twice. Fix the immediate problem: triage, limit further physical harm, get help. Some people are so busy providing emotional support that the patient bleeds out. (Sort out the feelings later.)
Alan, my reaction to Mr. Holthaus’s dilemma is that his wife is fed up with his obsessive behavior about something over which he has NO control, as well as his misbehavior – getting drunk and making it a public item – and thinks he’s a moron.
He brought this nonsense and the dissolution of his marriage on himself. He has to get himself out of it.
I’d take the internet away from him and allow him to read only 1950s comics like SGT Rock and Green Lantern and Supergirl, plus all of Heinlein’s books for teens and Isaac Asimov’s ‘Lucky Starr’ series. That might snap him out of it.
Also, he has to quit drinking. Period. Having a cat to take care of would do him good, too. I’d add taking care of a vegetable garden to that, too. Doses of the real world are very beneficial.
He brought it on himself. No sympathy from me at all.
The cat suggestion is spot on, and alcohol never helps depression.
As my father used to say, particularly after having given me relevant advice, “There is no sympathy for self-inflicted injuries.”
Asimov is at his heart an authoritarian socialist. Never recommend him to anyone.
That is ridiculous.
I take it you’ve never read his Foundation series.
Politics aside, the Lucky Starr series was an adventure series aimed at tweens. I loved it. It was mostly set in space, with problem-solving by the protagonist and his sidekick Bigman Jones.
The only thing I didn’t understand was Asimov’s continued references to fake food being grown as yeast cultures in huge vats. It sounded gross and disgusting, because it made no sense.
Good advice Sara. When I was grinding through my first Engineering degree, I kept sane by reading Marvel comics. I recently came across some of them – including Fantastic Four issues 1 and 2!
I retired one year ago from the Board of Directors of the largest homeless shelter in North America – one might say that most of the 1200 people we cared for every night had self-inflicted injuries.
Life is imperfect. People are imperfect.
No man is an island, alone of itself;
Every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;
If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is diminished, even as a promontory were,
even as a manor of thy friends or of thine own were;
Any man’s death concerns me, because I am concerned with mankind.
And therefore send not to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.
MEDITATION XVII
Devotions upon Emergent Occasions
John Donne, 1624
The real problem, Alan, is that people like Holthaus have no religious or spiritual beliefs to fall back on when things go sour. The entire Climate Alarmism fallacy has been built on taking advantage of people whose lack of faith of any kind (for whatever reason) leaves them with an empty spot in the part of the mind that looks for a connection to the Universe or the gods or God on High, or even Gaia. They don’t even have a mild form of zen to fall back on when things go sour.
There are too many people like Holthaus who are being misled by people like Gore, whose only intention is to acquire a large group of followers that they think will believe them without question. If the part of the brain that questions the illogic of things is squelched, then you have a mass movement like the CAGWers and Warmians or those poor souls who followed Jim Jones to Guyana and lost their lives to his ability to mislead them.
The common theme coming out of people like Holthaus is ‘I believe in –‘ which implies that it is a near-religious experience addressing the part of the brain that requires a belief system of some kind to fall back on when things go sour.
The effect in religion is an epiphany. With drug addicts, it is getting a high. Same thing. I’ve run into this in people who suddenly found religion and were trying to convert everyone they saw to it, because no matter what you grew up with, theirs was better. They could not be persuaded otherwise, nor could they understand how offensive they were to people who grew up in other faiths.
The fact that Holthaus has annoyed his own family by proselytizing endlessly about climate change indicates that it has acquired a religious or spiritual form of some kind. That makes it more dangerous than it would be if it were simply about discussing atmospheric chemistry and the effects of jet trails. If it is science, why is it becoming corrupted into a pseudo-religious anomaly that requires unquestioning agreement/obedience or you will be punished as a nonbeliever?
Holthaus does indeed need counseling, because this false belief system is destroying his life. He’d be far better off if he went to church or sat the zazen and meditated, instead of following this addiction to a false religion that is, by his own account, contributing to the destruction of what he should value the most.
Just my view on this mess called climate change and what it does to people’s minds.
No arguments here Sara – all good points. I recently wrote this:
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2018/05/your-tax-dollars-at-work-study-posits-how-space-aliens-might-solve-climate-change/#comment-2366965
There seems to be an audience for this sort of nonsense.
Ever notice how some people just love a new idea, no matter how crazy it is? They tend to be young, teenagers and young adults, self-styled “Progressives”, but some people retain this extreme form of naivety all their lives.
They just want to be “special” – they want to think they are more open and thus more intelligent than their peers, but their fatal flaw is they fail to examine the evidentiary basis and the credibility of the hypothesis they have adopted – that would be too much like real intelligence; too much like real work.
[end of rant]
I read that excerpt from the Atlantic article, started giggling at the ridiculous conceit of its author, and made some comments on that, as well.
And you’re right – it is the conceit that they are “one better”, that they just know more, or that the whole thing is special somehow, that draws them, but their failure lies in not looking at the flip side of that coin.
“Having a cat to take care of would do him good, too”
Poor kitty.
More to be pitied than scorned.
This is a classic example of the state of mind some people are getting into when they buy into all this thermogeddon BS. It is a real and serious psychological problem.
Since Eric Hothaus apparently believes that the whole thing will be “locked in” in a matter of mere months. Perhaps he will them be able to accept that is the way it will be and get on with his life.
However, I strongly suspect that he will be back in “mere months ” wailing and screaming that we still have a little time to adopt his world view and do something to “save the world”.
What a depressing world view he has.
Agreed. A very sad and depressed person.
Maybe if he wasn’t such a doom and gloom, the end if nigh type his other issues may not exist?
There ya go…winner.
Wait a minute…Are you saying that if he wasn’t such a Climate Pessimist he wouldn’t be a drunken mess??… That’s it, “Climate Change will destroy everything”…Now where is that keg of beer??
Looking one the bright side, he made a falsifiable prediction, eh? At least he is taking the bull by the horns. How many others are willing to put a short timeline of a catastrophic vision?
The question is what will he do if the prophecy fails? Let’s not pre-judge. A follow-up is in order, methinks.
I sincerely hope he isn’t expecting the impending apocalypse proving him right to save his marriage.
You left out ‘boring, simplistic and obsessive’.
Drop him off in the woods some place and see if he still thinks the world is doomed.
It looks as if he is correct about climate change destroying his world. Climate change has destroyed him personally. Yes, he brought it upon himself. Unless he changes, there is nothing we can do.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the 2016 election, and perhaps a thought or two about it may be applicable here. When I read the news or my facebook feed, all I could see from the Democrats were attacks on my values and moral character. They demonized Republicans, and by extension, me, as racists, xenophobes, homophobes, islamaphobes, greedy, hateful, etc. There was nothing they offered that made my life or freedom better. I can’t imagine switching sides to be allies with that kind of hate. All I could think about it was they didn’t need or care about us deplorables*.
Many comments in this thread are kicking him when he is down. I would suggest that while he is down, that we give him support and show him that we aren’t the mean nasty people he makes us out to be. I would like to invite him to join us, and start anew. All he has to do is correct his incorrect beliefs. That may be too difficult for him, but I’d like us to try anyway. I’d like to see us with something to offer other than bashing him alongside the head with a two by four. The bashing won’t change his mind.
I’d propose tweeting empathy and mentioning that while we disagree with his climate positions, that we can empathize with him in his current downturn. Whatever his political views, divorce is hard. Drinking makes it harder, but it is a way to escape reality for awhile. I’d take this tweet of his and try to turn it into an opportunity to offer him some goodwill. It may not accomplish anything, but you never know.
*Proud to be deplorable btw.
Perhaps divorces are also caused by climate change. Let me see if I can get a grant to study this.
Ah! So that’s why the missus left me and cleaned out the house. Climate Change and that magically evil CO2 molecule… It all becomes clear now.
CO2 over 400 PPM increases risks of alcoholism as well.
It’s those evil yeast things releasing CO2.
Dumbest drunk stunt I ever pulled in college involved a rock hammer, an empty light socket hanging from the ceiling of my dorm’s hallway, and the brilliant idea that I could impersonate Thor.
This was way back in the Pleistocene (1970’s) when both CO2 and the drinking age were lower… so don’t blame CO2… and we didn’t have Twitter back then… or smart phones… or anything smarter than a TI-55… or was it a 58?…😎
it was likely a TI-30, with the faux denim-painted vinyl case
Still got my TI-30 and it still works.
Maybe it was a TI-50 or even a 42
My first real calculator was an HP-41C.
You ain’t calculating unless you are using RPN.
Mine was a Texas Instruments SR-50. It was a lovely device.
Mine was a slide rule – less batteries.
Alternating voltage of sufficient current can cause rapid brain cell entropy.
The beer probably saved you.
That and the rubber coated handle of my Estwing.
@David Middleton;
So, did you utter that classic line, “Here, hold my beer” beforehand? 🙂
The HP-41C’s predecessor, the HP-67 was the business…..and because u could only program 224 instructions in its memory, it taught discipline when coding. The HP-41C was a great machine too – I still have mine – but its much bigger memory favoured sloppy, less elegant code. Just my opinion, of course! : ]
Still have and use two hp15C’s, and there is a 11C lurking around here somewhere, my wife cooped it years ago. Wonderful machines. My 41 is up in Alaska, hopefully repaired now and cranking away.
Normally I love watching the Bloomberg carbon clock tick up but these days I get depressed because it’s late spring and it is losing CO2, but then I remember that it is photosynthesis time and the plants are eating it up so I get happy again. Boy, do those plants love that CO2. By late summer the carbon clock will tick up again and all will be well again cause there will be more CO2 in the air for the plants to use for next spring photosynthesis time. We need more CO2 NOT less
was it the daily emissions of CO2 or the nightly emissions of CH4?
Well, CH4 is supposed to be a 1000 times (or some such multiplier) more powerful as a greenhouse gas than CO2 so could be, could be. Have to think about it. :))
People separate because they end up preferring breathing in CO2 from someone else.
If he was a good scientist he wouldn’t be so sure about what is happening with the climate and its cause. Hypotheses consistent with the evidence are not necessarily correct. A good scientist always entertains the possibility of being wrong.
And if he wasn’t so sure he wouldn’t be so worried as to make it a personal problem.
If he didn’t make it a personal problem it wouldn’t add to his other personal problems and his life would look better to him.
Our own worst enemy is within us, and yes, he is in power.
Catastrophic man-made “climate change” is not consistent with the evidence. Indeed, all the evidence in the world shows this baseless conjecture false.
CACA is an anti-scientific delusion.
CACA is an anti-scientific but very profitable (for some) delusion.
CACA truly belongs in the cacatorium. The Romans knew how to dispose of such things. 🙂
The voices in his head are apparently in power.
AH! but making alcoholic beverages must be bad for Gaia somehow, so sober up!
The process produces CO2, but then, so does baking bread.
There is a Miller brewery right next to a Mrs. Baird’s bakery in Ft. Worth, TX. You can definitely smell the yeast in the air. I like to say whenever I drive past it, “Man cannot live by bread alone. That’s why we have beer.”
And that’s why American males have high BMIs and beer bellies. See where you fit in:
https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmicalc.htm
I love the smell of baking bread. It is perfume to my senses. But some individual with a brain the size of a pea decided in the 1980s that a commercial bakery (Holsum) several blocks over was polluting the air with that wonderful scent and had the bakery shut down.
I just do not understand people like that, or like Holthaus. The negativisim is really, really bad stuff for anyone.
Beer is liquid bread, with the CO2 and alcohol left in.
For extra calories, so that it’s like bread with sugar or syrup on it.
Thank God for fungi!
Who you callin’ a FunGuy?
So… beer is French Toast… no wonder I like French Toast… 🤣
Beer is Bread, It becomes French Toast if you add an Egg and a little cinnamon
So….when they wake up a vegan can have a beer but not French Toast for breakfast?
If you add egg, cheese and Canadian bacon… an Egg McMuffin!
Add nice, crispy bacon, butter and maple syrup, and grab a fork.
Sober up? That’s a hard call. I try my best to fight AGW by making sure I drink all the beer before all the bubbles escape into the atmosphere… 😀
I’d like to stay sober but my activism demands my sacrifice.
I’ll drink to that.
I laughed out loud when I read his tweet – I guess that makes me cruel? I think you are in a no-win situation with this guy, caught between being an enabler in craziness and just waiting for the end of the world. I think I will go play golf.
I laugh my ass off every time Snowflake Holthaus whines on the Internet.
While the lungs in his guilty little chest are mini CO2 factories … oh the humanity.
Clear-headed self-understanding ought to be a skill taught early in life. Twitter is not a vehicle for the journey.

I don’t have twitter account, and left Facebook because it is more fun to debate warmists in forums, moderate three websites and still have time to visit the Athletic Club
His choice was to adapt to new information or break his brain. So he broke his brain, because his ego/worldview couldn’t allow anything else.
The more distressing aspect is warmists thinking of people who disagree with them on the complex issue of AGW as enemies.
Rob, That is true of almost every leftist belief. If you are not devoted to the orthodoxy, whatever it might be on any given day, then you are evil or worse. They call conservatives Nazis but how the left reacts to those that do not agree with them is the exact same mindset that Germans needed if they were to survive under National Socialism.
Anyway this guy probably also took Ambien before tweeting. Apparently the problem is going around.
But that is a trait of Progressives, because narcissism. “I am Obviously Correct, therefore any who disagree are either evil or whacko.”
I remember a time when you could debate most Progressives. I am an old man, it was long ago.
Progressives are slow learners, and what they know they learned from the drunk sitting next to them at the bar.
He is a depressing sort to have to pay attention to.
I doubt it would do anything to him at all to be forced to take daily hikes on trails in any forest preserve because instead of paying attention to the thick growth of underbrush, or the wildflowers and birds and bugs, or even recognizing that the frogs so cleverly camouflaged by their coloring and spots, while they sit on logs sunning themselves – all of it has a purpose, which we can all recognize – he would be whining about being forced to be there, possibly catching West Nile virus from a passing bird, or encephalitis from a mosquito bite or Lyme disease from a tick.
He is so wrapped up in his own misery that the wonderful world we live on doesn’t exist for him. He is blind to it, blind to what it does FOR us and blind to its benefits. If there is a cure for that blindness, it might be lost in the woods where he never goes, and he’ll never find it.
Drunk, blind and stupid is no way to go through life.
The world needs more tackle boxes – and fewer X-boxes!

This fallacy from the late 80’s has already been debunked:
17. Time running up predictions
1989 Noel Brown, director of the New York office of the U.N. Environment Program (UNEP) says that within the next 10 years, given the present loads that the atmosphere has to bear, we have an opportunity to start the stabilizing process. Associated Press. June 29, 1989
2006 NASA scientist James Hansen says the world has a 10-year window of opportunity to take decisive action on global warming and avert catastrophe.
NBC News. September 14, 2006
2007 U.N. Scientists say only eight years left to avoid worst effects
The Guardian. May 5 2007
Reality check:
Since February 2016 the world has been cooling, and has lost about 0.2°C in annual average, so it does not look as if we only have mere months.
Javier,
Actually, he’s … sort of … partly … correct.
Climate change is irreversible. It’s NATURAL!
About all Man could do to change it would be to set off all the world’s nukes producing a nuclear winter.
(Theoretically)
“We have mere months before we lock in irreversible planetary change, no one seems to care about the biggest problem in human history”
No one seems to care because it’s simply not true. There’s no evidence supporting his CAGW delusions.

The main reason I post anonymously is that members of my extended family have run afoul of SJWs. It’s not an experience I would wish on my worst enemy. Another reason I post anonymously is that I occasionally say things that are grindingly stupid. 🙂
That’s pretty rare, Bob. (your comments are consistently the best)…
No kissing up, Fon!!
Gums sends..
A kind remark is always appreciated.
Yeah, Bob’s OK. For a commie.
Methinks I know why he is getting divorced. His soon to be ex wife is a realist who doesn’t want to continue with a guy who has lost the plot.
I think Dr. Jordan Peterson would frame it differently.
Holthaus’s wife probably wanted a competent partner who wasn’t essentially a wimp, running from imaginary hobgoblins.
It is the plight that adherence to the Lunatic Left’s adoption of speech codes and “gender normative roles” has wrought upon the beta males of the Left.
Recently actor James Caan, certainly someone on the Left, but also someone who has always been an alpha male in his world lamented a larger issue. “He’s suggesting that the rules of the road when it comes to men and women have changed, and he thinks it defies natural instinct.”

To be a tad risque, his balls have been in his wife’s purse for a good while and they’re starting to smell.

What do you get when you multiply 6 by 9?
Wow! I guess the choice is to wallow in misery over something that has never happened (runaway global warming), or go outside and enjoy the beautiful weather we’re having today. I don’t know what the weather is like where he lives, but I would bet it’s nothing new. Doesn’t seem like a hard choice to me. This strikes me as a mental problem being self medicated with alcohol. He’s depressed that people aren’t following him down the drain.
Misery has a love/hate relationship with company.
Another possibility: withdrawal from adrenaline addiction after repeatedly overdosing on righteous dudgeon. No joke.
Any body else having trouble posting comments? i’m losing about two out of three. (must be getting lost in the fog of the new cloud)…
Some show up on time, others late, still others not at all. (the shorter the comment the better)…
I’ve made 2 comments under the new system, seems to be working perfectly for me.
I agree Fonz – short comments show up quickly. Long ones, especially those with lots of url’s go into the spam filter, and usually appear after several hours.
With the new server, old posts lose their vertical spacing, some graphics no longer display, but these are minor problems. The big problem is references to wattsup url’s no longer work – you get to the article but not to the posting. It would be great if this feature were fixed.
Best personal regards, Allan
afonz,
My comments disappear when I hit the ‘Post Comment’ button and they show up in the proper queue after about 5 minutes delay.
I don’t see any ‘edit’ buttons at all.
I have tried using various browsers (Edge, Explorer, and Firefox, with Java active and inactive where allowed) without any improvement. MS Edge and MS Explorer both ran WUWT blog much slower than Firefox so I’m running Firefox for now.
J Mac,
I don’t know why you don’t see the “Edit” option but the 5 minute delay is the window to edit a comment.
Maybe something on your end is preventing you from seeing your comment on your screen while “Edit” is available?
(A Layman on the learning curse)
I use Google because I detest MSN’s browser. I have no issues with seeing graphics or photos (so far) or finding my comments showing up. If something is long, it takes a little time, but I do see the ‘edit’ button, and occasionally use it. Well, sometimes I use it. Well, sometimes a lot. Okay I use it all the time.
I need a hug.
@J Mac;
I use Firefox under Windows Vista and the comments post after about 20 seconds and the 5 minute edit clock is available. I’ve also successfully edited comments.
Anybody else having problems posting comments? (mine must be getting lost in the fog of the new cloud)…
I’m getting used to it.
Where the “Reply” is, at first I saw a blue star followed by “…Loading”, yet, I could still reply.
Some mentioned seeing a “like” button but I’ve never seen it.
Some of the bugs might be on the new system’s end, some might be on the commentator’s end. Some of the “bugs” are just a learning curve in adjusting.
(And, of course, The Mod Squad and the bit bin are still out there.8-)
“Some of the “bugs” are just a learning curve in adjusting.”
I’ve noticed that, it seems, if I reply to a different comment or go to a different post before the 5 minutes are up, I won’t be able to see my original reply.
But I’ve just noticed that I didn’t see my reply or the edit option show up in my added “reply” to my “reply” until the 5 minutes were up.
(But this time I did and have used the edit option to add this parenthesis.
This site is worth dealing with a few bugs to root out the REAL bugs in “the system”.8-)
*SIGH*
Even with the Edit option, it seems I’ll remain the King of Typos.

well hes full-of-it for sure;-) 😉
sounds like a good place to start
the old joke about the controller of the body being the sphincter etc
lol
seriously this sad excuse enjoys his misery i reckon
has he EVER posted anything at all positive?
i dont do the social doodads so have no idea what his priors are except for the pathetic, self obsessed, maunderings Ive seen of his posted here
Part of me empathizes with his plight. Divorce sucks.
But tweeting?
Just another piece of evidence how TDS and the avoidance of the pain that cognitive dissonance brings is tearing apart the weak minds on the Left.
Any competent divorce attorney would have advised him to stay off social media for the duration. This advice required a competent client to be effective.
Reading some of the comments is even more depressing. Someone actually replied “Drink some water. Trust me on this.” Now there’s some wisdom sharing for a guy with a miserable world view getting a divorce.
I did like the Bill Evans “Peace Piece” comment, lord knows he needs it:
I’m not an aficionado but that is quite an extraordinary piano piece. Made me sit still for the duration. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful! A perfect example of ‘less is more’!
….I read the replies
Oh profit. They’re priceless. Everybody seems to like Eric, why might be that?
Something about Twitter drops the user IQ by 50 points. Maybe it’s in the name.
Which is why everyone who supports Trump wants him to get off Twitter. It ain’t helping at this point.
But it’s so much fun to trigger the twitterati…
It may be time to put Eric Holthaus on the “Out Of Bounds” list.
The man is obviously deeply emotionally troubled, with serious mental health issues.
At this point, running him through the mill is no longer a sporting event.
Perhaps the further exposure of the trials and tribulations of Holthaus serves no useful purpose.
Seems to me being a leftist requires some sort of disorder. Or maybe it causes it.
To think that the guy actually is a meteorologist. He can’t see the sky for the clouds and it is raining on his parade.
I agree. This isn’t the place to post unhelpful comments. We can leave that for the
bird brainstweeters.There are also many things wrong with my life. I decided to give up Twitter.
But I reserve the right to change my mind, should I feel the need to say something regularly in public. It is possible twitter may be useful for that, but their user interface never came close to persuading me.
