      This isn't an ontological thought exercise. If they've got a nasty infestation of PONCs, you can see why the 1st Amendment traumatizes them.https://twitter.com/waltshaub/status/892188132786962433 …

      If these questions were crawly pests would there be a taxonomic difference between the Pests of No Consequence and the Not Pertinent Pests? https://twitter.com/waltshaub/status/892186540545363968 …

      If there's even the slightest chance I used "ontological" correctly, you can join me in imagining a PONC tweeting "I'm asked therefore I am"

      when I saw "pests" I was wondering if you were building to an entomological ontological question

      If they were short questions would you call this an ephemeral entomological ontological question? Or just another malapropism?

      This began as a fantasy about seditious little questions that confound authoritarian instincts. It's late and I have to go tuck them in now.
