I’m very curious about people saying they “trusted” Nate Silver and are mad that that gave us the last two years. FWIW Nate was actually more skeptical of Hillary’s chances than most modelers. But as long as you voted and did everything you felt you could, what do you ...
2/ have to be mad about? And here I’m not reacting to the guy I was chatting with before. I’m responding to a bunch of other responses I’m seeing. If you’re really into politics, you should vote. And you probably will vote. People who are into politics want to know what’s ...
3/ happening, so they are into polls. I really think this sma notional and not a real issue.

I was successfully going stealth as a follower on my son's fortnite twitch stream. then this afternoon he asked if I was X username. the tell? i used a comma in one of my chat posts. smh
2/ Okay, this tweet has generated a bit more attention than I anticipated. So a little backstory. A few people got the idea that I was spying on him and got caught. That’s not it. Quite the opposite actually. He’s been on us to follow him because he’s all about building ...
3/ an audience and hitting certain benchmarks that these platforms get you gunned up to want to meet. And the reality is that I just like watching it, though for some reason I took some perverse pleasure in him not knowing precisely which of the followers was me.

Business advice I got when I was first coming up was always negotiate with yourself first. Right?
Actually reminds me of famous scene where Michael is talking to Sen. Geary and says, "My offer is this. Let me know what you want and I will try to make it happen.
And also please don't leave before we figure out some deal because I really need a deal today.

Read this and the underlying story it picks up and this is definitely not what the Yahoo News article said. Not even close. rawstory.com/2018/12/sarah-…
2/ Hmmm. The mystery deepens. As I wrote, the claim about Sarah Sanders being unable to find work was not in the Yahoo article RS linked to. But it seems like it originally was there. It was apparently removed from the Yahoo article post publication. But a syndicated version ...
3/ of the story was also published at MSN. And that version wasn’t revised. With automated syndication revisions or rewrites often don’t catch up. You can see that version here. msn.com/en-us/news/pol…

Actually you know what

I’m 100% going offline for a few days.

I do not need to deal with the bullshit we’re about to hear about how the problem is

[rural people]
[people without degrees]
[people with low incomes]

Pick your villain, I ain’t fucking with it this year.
Bring me a society that has rural broadband and equal educational opportunities and a standardized curriculum that doesn’t need to be approved by a reactionary Texas school board

Bring me education that ain’t got a profit motive and then come back and place blame, thanks
Y’all really didn’t have enough of this in the last two years?

My god.

Find a fucking hobby.

THREAD 1/38

CAN THE REPUBLIC STRIKE BACK?
By Andrew Sullivan

Whatever else it will be, Tuesday will be a relief. We will finally find out where we are in the surreal dystopia of the last two years. We will see, in a tangible way, what America now is.

These years have been
2/38 overwhelmed and saturated by a single figure with no political experience, who won almost 3 million fewer votes than his opponent, has had consistently lower approval numbers than any of his recent predecessors, and speaks and acts in ways no previous president ever has.
3/38 He has cast a staggering spell over a hefty segment of the population, and he has earned the intense loathing of the rest. And for these very reasons, it has been tortuously hard to see what is in front of our noses.

Is this the new normal? Or has this been a

two days after interviewing white Trump supporters in GOP district inside red state, NYT interviews more white Trump supporters in GOP district inside red state; nytimes.com/2018/10/14/us/…
it’s almost beyond parody at this point
i'd actually love to know how many of the 50 states NYT has dispatched reporters in the last two years to interview white Trump supporters.

Of course it has. And far too many politicians more broadly have. Avoiding debate has enabled further pandering to sentiments many believe will win them votes. Govt put in place MAC, but that has had serious flaws (e.g. that int'l student survey?!), and now report pushed back. 1/
Because of that most public engagement is still driven primarily by negative views of the kind we still see on Daily Mail / Daily Express front pages very often. But not only there: remember when the Telegraph cast giving @The3Million the right to stay as a "cost" of freedom? 2/
But it is not just about a lack of debate. The most basic facts are still not stated correctly. Freedom of movement, for example, is not usually reported as a reciprocal right, but as though it is an immigration system that only has one direction: into the UK. 3/

(1) The Left likes to assert that money from the NRA and the Koch brothers has an outsize impact on the GOP winning elections.

This is an opportunity to expose the Left's hypocrisy & disregard for the will of #WeThePeople & the great US Constitution. #MAGA #KeepDiggingDemocrats
(2) The Citizens United case was about conservatives seeking to have the law enforced so that every citizen can exercise free speech, in spite of the Obama admin's attempts to tilt the scales in favor of Democrats.
(3) However, the Democrat talking point about Citizens United is that the court decision allows big bad corporations to buy elections. Supporters swallow this lie rather than doing their own research about the case and the vital free speech issue at stake.

Two key things I learned about myself over the last two years:

- I am absolutely terrible at keeping myself organized in any coherent way.

- I adapt extremely rapidly to change.

Maintaining good habits is THE priority. The rest of the machine oils itself.
For doing really transformative work, you really want to build on your strengths.

For being any kind of sane person, you'll want to shore up weaknesses.

That entrepreneurship encourages the former -really heavily- gives you a good idea of why innovative people are so unstable.
I could probably start to optimize my skills for very high output. What would happen:

- Burnout
- Worsened relationships
- Poor self-care
- Losing track of bigger picture

Right now, my goals are entirely orientated towards sanity first.
