In the last 24 hours, I posted the following to Twitter:

Wednesday, 0047: @pennjillette I suspect they want to give you special treatment because they are afraid of the publicity shitstorm you can bring.
Wednesday, 0052: @pennjillette That whole convo you described on your blog reeked of trying to avoid the consequences without actually changing.
Wednesday, 0054: @pennjillette Don't warn the TSA when you fly. You are our ultimate secret shopper.
Wednesday, 0058: @kiyala YAY!!!

Wednesday, 0723: Yay, I got a decent amount of sleep!
Wednesday, 0726: @mathsie More for you, then! That does sound wonderfully nutty.
Wednesday, 0728: @maureenjohnson POLKA FACE!
Wednesday, 0734: @amy_m_young Hee, thanks! I am often full of random weirdness.
Wednesday, 0737: @isntit I ... really shouldn't go read that, should I. *clicks anyway*
Wednesday, 0739: @isntit Right, I hold and you punch, then we switch?
Wednesday, 0740: @_kamara Is the internet now going to start calling you Debbie just to vex you? (Vex. I love that word. Like "bedevil".)
Wednesday, 0744: @amy_m_young Hee hee hee.
Wednesday, 0744: @teshiron SCHADENFREUDE.
Wednesday, 0747: @mathsie No clue. It's a PDF and I hate PDFs.
Wednesday, 0749: @ladyofthelog Though remember that even normal people have trouble if they have not been recently.
Wednesday, 0752: @mathsie This looks like a mirror of the same base document w/o highlighting/orange writing. http://scr.bi/assf2F

Wednesday, 0831: owwwwwww I just bumped into my heel with my chair. :(
Wednesday, 0832: My kitchen floor, and all my laundry, are covered with sequins. Not to mention the washer. Tactical error mine: disco ball dress. :(
Wednesday, 0837: @amy_m_young This was more "into" than "over", so happily the pain has faded now. I will likely do it again. Alas. :(
Wednesday, 0838: You are not supposed to dry-clean the disco ball dress! So I put it in on handwash-setting. About half the sequins jumped off all over.
Wednesday, 0839: Will see how bad it looks later. The disco ball dress is 10+ years old (I got it used) so it's had a good long run. Can't mourn too much.
Wednesday, 0848: @jenphalian They were gluuuuuuued. I got it used in '98. The fabric under the sequins is interesting in its own right.
Wednesday, 0849: @seananmcguire Let me find some pasties.
Wednesday, 0852: RT @seananmcguire: New plan: instead of touching me, Mr. TSA, how about you just let me strip down and do a little dance? That way, no ...
Wednesday, 0915: @maureenjohnson What are your thoughts on the TSA? #4Q

Wednesday, 0958: RT @ferretthimself: Trading liberty for safety is, sometimes, a valid argument. Trading liberty for the ILLUSION of safety is a fool's game.

Wednesday, 1003: @jenphalian Where can we find matching BLACK SEQUINED OUTFITS? I have a PLAN.

Wednesday, 1012: (The concept of friends I can talk practical fashion with is sort of stunning and delightful. @jenphalian @tiferet93 @zarhooie)
Wednesday, 1017: When I had a patdown some years ago, the enclosed clear box they had me wait in gave my claustrophobia the screaming willies.
Wednesday, 1018: There was a significant delay while they looked for a female agent to give me a patdown. I was about ready to strip to avoid waiting.
Wednesday, 1035: @jenphalian I'm hoping it's around when I get a bit more budget. Because HELLO.
Wednesday, 1036: @rynia That reminded me to turn on my own music.
Wednesday, 1103: oh god sequins all over everything. Imagine some malignant hybrid of confetti and glitter. WITH ADHESIVE.

Wednesday, 1226: I hate platform-specific content. First you have to buy the iPhone, then you have to buy the app. You can't just pay to see on the web. D:<
Wednesday, 1312: Waiting for aunt. A dumptruck was keeping her penned in the driveway. Soon we shall have walkies and Trader Joe's.
Wednesday, 1539: @doycet Before the days of smartphone, I really wanted this while Out & About. I've got low-volume @-replies though, mostly personal friends
Wednesday, 1540: It delights me when I see people sharing with others facts and tips that they found through me. I am a link in the information chain.

Wednesday, 1548: @ladypaperclip Do you do this often? Next time you're shopping, look for those glucose tablets for diabetics. Those can help.
Wednesday, 1550: @ladypaperclip And try juice or something if you've got it now, maybe?
Wednesday, 1551: @jenphalian @zarhooie I APPROVE OF THIS PLAN.
Wednesday, 1558: @khasael I am not in the health field, but I sometimes get out the whip anyway.
Wednesday, 1559: @trialia I am the last person to say that LJ is the land of unicorns and happiness, but there are things about that narrative that smell off
Wednesday, 1602: @trialia In the department of "simple explanations are more likely than complex ones", there is a shared-password journal involved.
Wednesday, 1603: @trialia Shared-password journal = all users who have logged into this journal are now linked according to some back-end tools.
Wednesday, 1604: @trialia If even one user in the cluster of journals that have been linked by shared passwords commits a terminatable offense, they all go.
Wednesday, 1605: @trialia So I don't buy the conspiracy theory for that cluster of people getting suspended. This is why I'll NEVER share pw w/ anyone. EVER.
Wednesday, 1606: @khasael That too. Also I could drive over and do it in person. In theory.
Wednesday, 1607: @khasael It's brand-new! In mobile settings if you ever wish to tweak it, apparently.
Wednesday, 1608: @trialia Yep, there was I think a period in there.
Wednesday, 1610: @mathsie Rest, ice, elevation, compression?
Wednesday, 1611: If you don't like the texts with @-replies to you, it's in your mobile settings: http://twitter.com/devices -- if you wanted it, it's here!

Wednesday, 1615: @khasael It's such lovely fun!
Wednesday, 1646: @mathsie :( :( :( suuuuuuucks. :( :( :(
Wednesday, 1809: I've started to have the "you are a clueless person of possibly ill-will" twitch around links with only "link" as their text.
Wednesday, 1812: @isntit Congratulations! I bet they will also do very wrong and bad things to your poor hair.
Wednesday, 1812: @ferretthimself In'N'Out fries don't chill well either.
Wednesday, 1815: @tiferet93 I read it, and I got the "Oh, hey, UCSF, that's ... OH HEY HOMETOWN!" Similar to K. McCracken. (duck dick) http://mercury.bio.uaf.edu/~kevin_mccracken/reprints/nature-413-128.pdf
