Friends, please stop promoting this crap. It's another press stunt from an entities which does them all the time to try to raise money from unsuspecting anti-Trumpers. See, e.g., dailykos.com/stories/2017/6…
I mean, remember this one? Same people.
This is what they do. Stop promoting it. Be discerning readers.
They really pissed me off with their promised efforts on behalf of Conor Lamb. I am not aware of any actual spending they did on the race. And I looked at their FEC reports. fec.gov/data/disbursem…

If you want to remember Warren Zevon tonight, the 15y anniversary of his passing, may I recommend the LARRY SANDERS SHOW episode in which he appeared? It shouldn't be on YouTube, but since it is .... this is classic and perfect. Written by Peter Tolan.
If you have only the time for one or two songs, start with "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner," from Zevon's final Letterman appearance.
Next, "Boom Boom Mancini," from Letterman, 1987.

It really bothers me to see REVENGE OF THE NERDS listed at all, let alone as high as 8th, on a list like this. Anyone viewing the film with contemporary eyes should be horrified by it. vulture.com/article/25-bes…
The capsule summary says it's "a satisfying series of fulfilled wishes, the nerds get their, you know, revenge."

It's actually watching the Nerds behaving worse than the jocks: spying on, then selling nude pictures of sorority members. And more. (2/)
Lewis, an alleged hero, rapes a woman by deception -- she only consents to sex with him because he's wearing a Darth Vader mask and she thinks it's her actual boyfriend. (3/)

What a patriot sounds like: McCain, 2008 RNC: "And, finally, a word to Senator Obama ... you have my respect and my admiration. Despite our differences, much more unites us than divides us. We are fellow Americans, and that's an association that means more to me than any other."
"I fell in love with my country when I was a prisoner in someone else's. I loved it not just for the many comforts of life here. I loved it for its decency, for its faith in the wisdom, justice, and goodness of its people. I loved it because it was not just a place, but an idea."
More from McCain's 2008 RNC speech.

Powerful @Sifill_LDF interview on @allinwithchris @chrislhayes refs Cold War history of Soviet propaganda on US racism. Crucial difference: in ColdWar, Soviets sought to undermine US relations w/ other countries. Now: Russian efforts targeted democracy *in the USA.*Thread 1/30
Reconnecting this thread. Obv @KevinMKruse is better at this!
International criticism of US racism predated the Cold War. Prominent Swedish sociologist Gunnar Myrdal argued in 1944 that global awareness of US race discrimination threatened the country's ability to be a world leader. 2/

Earlier this week, I tweeted about Episode 1 of the #Interconnected series on the human #microbiome. See
Let's take a look at some other episodes (new thread).
The series features a mix of microbiome scientists, many of whom I have collaborated with and respect a lot, functional medicine doctors, and chronic disease patients. So, the documentary has a lot of great information, some inspiring stories, and some #FakeNews.
The problem with the series is that it is hard to distinguish between the correct and the incorrect information, especially if you are not a scientist.
By watching this series, you might learn a lot and be inspired, but please proceed with caution.

Dear @BBCRadio4, I'm disappointed that your half hour analysis of housing crisis #TheBriefingRoom failed to EVEN MENTION 3 of the most significant drivers of house price rises: financial deregulation, the Buy To Let frenzy & the flaws of our speculative house building model 1/13
Worse, Andrew Whittaker went completely unchallenged when he asserted that main reason homes don’t get built is planning authorities don't allocate enough land for housing. FAR more significant barrier is our dysfunctional land market & ’speculative’ model of house building 2/13
…which gives landowners the power to hold out for eye watering windfall gains, and incentivises developers to limit supply as way maintain prices and profit margins. (Next time maybe you could interview @tobylloyd or @danielbentley on this? See e.g. civitas.org.uk/content/files/…) 3/13

#thread on @UKLabour NEC Code Conduct on #Antisemitism showing how opposition to it is wrong. Links from Dr Brian Klug, Moran Mandelbaum, David Feldman, Josh Nathan Kazis on Kenneth Stern, Rhea Wolfson, Jennie Formby and Jo Lansman
Firstly this is the NEC code here. Please read. It covers conspiracy theory antisemitism, the 'socialism of fools' and antisemitism masquerading as criticism of Israel. These are the issues that have crept into Labour from the conspiracy theory fringes. thejc.com/comment/analys…
Jon Lansman @jonlansman states the new code is "Labour’s antisemitism code is the gold standard for political parties .. The new code makes clear that discrimination against Jewish people is unacceptable while allowing for legitimate criticism of Israel " theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Here is my guess about what's going on with the Logitech Harmony Link fiasco:
The story so far: Logitech is bricking an older device that lots of people use and which is working just fine.

See, e.g. theverge.com/circuitbreaker…
Ignore for the moment the whole customer satisfaction / company PR aspect of the story. I'm just going to dig into the technology and explain WHY this is happening.
