The Weekend Bravely (#7)

The weird Tweets edition

The Weekend Bravely is a mostly-regular collection of stories and oddities you probably missed, but shouldn’t.

I am back from taking a week off, so the Weekend Bravely is back.

1. If you haven’t seen Jon Stewart slay lately, this is worth a watch. Why this guy even agreed to go on The Problem is a total mystery.

The Problem With Jon Stewart @TheProblem

State Sen. Nathan Dahm (R-OK) has penned several bills loosening gun restrictions, including the nation’s first anti-red flag law. He thinks these bills protect the Second Amendment – and that they make us safer. We think it's probably one or the other. Watch it on @AppleTVPlus.

2. This tweet is exactly as weird as it seems. Hern did leave his astronautical engineering Ph.D. program after the Challenger disaster in 1986. But it’s unclear why (in 1987 alone, 15 people were selected by NASA to become astronauts). It’s also unclear how much hog farming he did because he worked for McDonald’s by 1987. Regardless, no one made him quit his degree program. But he did go on to make $93 million, so maybe that had something to do with it. Regardless, Hern 100% gave up.

Rep. Kevin Hern @repkevinhern

After the Challenger tragically exploded, my dreams of being an astronaut were cut short. But I did what I had to do – including hog farming – to purchase my first McDonalds in 1997. Today, I am honored to represent #OK01 in the U.S. Congress. Never EVER give up.

3. Russian diplomats in Norway all live in the same complex. Unfortunately for them, an enterprising Norwegian gentleman knows where they live. He’s also apparently impervious to cold.

Igor Novikov @igornovikov

Huge respect to this Norwegian man, who plays the air alert siren outside the home of the 🇷🇺 diplomats

73-річний норвежець К'єтіл Кране вмикав сирену повітряної тривоги біля будинку, у якому мешкають російські дипломати. Будьте як пан Кране. Нація терористів не має відчувати себе нормально. https://t.co/bKtcmrCV5g

4. On the off chance Ron DeSantis becomes the Republican nominee for president, this man needs to be a regular guest on SNL. Education, not indoctrination folks.

Dr. David A. Lustig @drdave1999

Ron DeSantis.
