.JasonIsbell: Grammy-winning Americana singer-songwriter, voice of his generation and ... feralhogs whisperer?
This wasn’t the first time that Isbell has used Twitter for both humor and a platform for change, whether schooling conservative pundit Ben Shapiro, pointing out gender imbalances on Pandora’s playlists or tweeting support for Kacey Musgraves after “Fox & Friends” chastised her for speaking out after this weekend’s shootings.

That’s a dangerous rabbit hole. “I believe everything is awful and it makes me feel better to know I’m right, so I seek out things that tell me everything is awful.
Absolutely. Having “tiny chance of front yard consumption by hogs” > “very real chance of being murdered in a mass shooting” as your scale really shows how absurd the argument is. And you’ve been around the world a few times now, and you’re from Alabama. Maybe you’ve seen a hog or two.
