Lord preserve us from people who don't understand "if you take shots on social media at the people who buy our product we will fire you" isn't setting a social media policy. polygon.com/2018/7/10/1755…
Some of the same people who demand that Chick-fil-A and Hobby Lobby be driven into the ground for having cultures rooted in Christianity want developers to be able to open random Twitter-fire into consumer holding areas without consequence.
Is your business not sufficiently friendly to the poor souls who believe they were born with the wrong genitalia? LET SLIP THE DOGS OF TWITTER. Is your business sufficiently left-wing for the failed writers who make up video game journalism? PROTECT THE PRECIOUS.
You don't defeat GamerGate's remnants by telling them they were right all along, cretins.

The weird little moral panics of the Trump Era are amazingly more disturbing for what they say about the state of our society than the election of the Dorito Lord itself.
We're late into "Trump Conspired With Saudi Arabia to Kill a Journalist/Trump Yelling at CNN Made Saudi Arabia Think They Could Kill a Journalist" and midway toward the peak of "Trump Will Send the Air Force to Strafe Unarmed Women and Children."
Who among us can remember the halcyon days of "Trump Will Start A Nuclear War With Pyongyang Before 2018 is Over"?

"We have a moral duty to aid the weak and the oppressed." Compelling.

"We have no right to control our own borders if the right age-and-sex mix appears there." Self-evidently stupid and counterproductive.
Arguments are not won purely on merit, but on the manner in which they're proposed and argued.
This is especially true with matters in which the moving party seeks to have our laws, if not suspended, then at least highly-charitably enforced and interpreted: If you want to make a case that our immigration law as it exists is immoral, you can't simply hand-wave at it.

Being enamored of the way things were when you were young does not make you conservative; it makes you nostalgic.
Protesting one's conservatism has very little meaning if the substance of your protest is nostalgia and self-appellation.
Similarly, if the entirety of one's conservatism is a single policy stance, coupled with a congenital resistance to change, this merely makes one idiosyncratically intransigent.

1) Ok, I do understand the frustration about AZ. I live here. I have to suffer under this clown. BUT . . .

2) This isn't fraud. This isn't illegals. This isn't "dirty tricks." It is taking so long to process these ballots because they are checking every signature!!!
3) The same exact thing happened in 2016 when Trump won by 5. But no one noticed because it was outside the margin of the remaining ballots.

4) At my polling station we signed a screen, then twice they checked our IDs. When I went to insert the ballot and wasn't sure, the . . .
4) contd . . . poll worker would NOT touch my ballot.

5) This is a convenient vent, but gets us nowhere. Republicans have a very, very serious issue on our hands.

6) While he didn't help, it wasn't Paul Ryan's mass resignations that hurt us.

Trump and Mussolini: 11 Key Lessons from Historical Fascism

Italian fascism provides a better model for our moment than Nazi Germany—and the comparison is not encouraging.

Fascism is a religion. The 20th century will be known in history as the century of fascism.
〰️ Benito Mussolini

I’d like to draw some comparisons and contrasts between our present situation and that of #fascist Italy between 1922 and 1945. I choose fascist #Italy rather than #Nazi #Germany because it has always seemed to me a better comparison.

If you follow me long enough you will know that I am a huge fan of “Packaging” please permit me to share my views in this thread on “Packaging” of Product or Brand.
There are two ways I see Packaging Packaging could be an egg that you don’t know it’s bad until you crack it open or Packaging could be the good egg, you boil or fry and it comes out really good.
There are people who care so much about packaging and I am one of them, what will draw me first is the outer look of your product.

THREAD:

I've realized the #1 thing holding me back from success in life is lack of focus. I think this applies to A LOT of people that are just like me in this space.
We work hard, but our attention is often pulled in a thousand different directions. There are so many courses to take, skills to learn, ideas to implement, books to read, new things to try. It can be fucking overwhelming. Finding the time to do EVERYTHING is literally impossible.
You're probably like me and live a full life:

- I work full-time
- Work out every day
- Am still a student (1 semester left)
- I make time to practice Spanish daily (leaving for Spain in 3 weeks)
- Make time for family and friends (would prefer to spend more with them)

End of news? My essay on why the crisis of journalism is beyond business models or trust—and what it means for democracy. #media #journalism
medium.com/s/story/face-i…
News was a historical cultural invention within certain conditions and with specific functions. Those conditions have now changed, I argued, leading to the demise of news. medium.com/s/story/face-i…
News is dying, but journalism is evolving into something else: non-fiction literature and video documentaries. My latest essay with quotes from James Carey, @jayrosen_nyu and Michael Schudson.

-- Want to beef up to compete with Netflix and Amazon 💪
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
There's a fair bit of personal drama here. Comcast CEO Brian Roberts has a long history of going toe-to-toe with Fox executive chairman Rupert Murdoch and Disney CEO Bob Iger for media dominance. These are astute, battle-hardened deal-makers bloomberg.com/gadfly/article…
