"If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack."

There is freedom waiting for you,
On the breezes of the sky,
And your ask
"What if I fall?"
Oh but my darling,
What if you fly?

Über allen Gipfeln
Ist Ruh,
In allen Wipfeln
Spürest du
Kaum einen Hauch;
Die Vögelein schweigen im Walde.
Warte nur, balde
Ruhest du auch.
-- Goethe. Wandrers Nachtlied.
Today is a day for listening to opera arias at high volume on my headphones at the office... like I am 100 years old or something

New here? Remember that Twitter is optimized to make you into passive consumers, by en(r/g)aging you with content that you don't choose yourself.
Here, that doesn't happen. But it also means you're responsible to find people to follow.
It will take some work.
If you're willing to put that in, you'll find a wide variety of friendly people that will be happy to have meaningful conversions and laugh and cry together with you.
Start by searching and looking at who other people follow.

You've established yourself as a well-known hit-man. Your dirty deeds have earned you a reputation for being the most gruesome assassin on the planet, with not a single trace of you being found at any crime scene. The only thing is, you were never the victim's cause of death.

Automatic voter registration rose registrations between 9% and almost 94% in seven states and D.C., a recent report finds.
The increase was greatest in Georgia (93.7%).

Let n be an integer.
Arrange the first n^2 odd numbers in a square n on a side, left-to-right and top-to-bottom, like so (n=3):
1 3 5
7 9 11
13 15 17
Regardless of what n you chose, the following will be true:
The sum of the first row is n^2
The sum of either diagonal (from one corner to the other) is n^3
The sum of all the numbers in the square is n^4

Mozilla plans to enable the FIDO U2F API for all Firefox users since U2F is more widespread than WebAuthn at the moment:
https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2019/04/04/shipping-fido-u2f-api-support-in-firefox/
– WebAuthn is an official W3C Recommendation for one month and offers more secure authentication
– FIDO U2F (Universal 2nd Factor) offers secure second factor authentication and is roughly the predecessor of WebAuthn
– Firefox 60 brings support for WebAuthn
