It is Tuesday night, KU lost to Oklahoma State in men’s basketball, and I’m sitting here watching an episode of “The Great British Baking Show” and trying to figure out my own brain.
Earlier today I came across a tweet from a gentleman named Timothy Snyder. He wrote a series of ten tweets, and I’m going to copy and paste them into my blog, but I do want to give him complete credit for his authorship. I’m not earning any income from my blog, so I promise to pay him 15% of all I earn from this post.
The first of these tweets can be found here.
