btw, there’s zero news hook for this hit piece. the DNA test took place two months ago. NYT simply decides to resurrect the issue and note high in the article it matters bc “conservatives” are using it against Warren
so yes, it’s very Hillary-esque
btw NYT runs this story A1 today in print, above the fold signaling it’s one of the four most important news stories in America right now—ponder that, folks
today’s headline “Warren Facing Cloud of Anger Over DNA Test.” a) she’s not b) the DNA test was **two months ago** and there’s been no new developments since then

predictably awful and timid NYT coverage of Trump’s incoherent Rose Garden marathon of lies yesterday; nytimes.com/2019/01/04/us/…
“Trump’s Side of the Story.” are you effing kidding me?
real Pulitzer Prize-level work here.....Trumps “feeling energized.” “emboldened.” aides say “he’s gained the upper hand”! what a complete embarrassment

can you believe NYT newsroom still won’t call Trump a liar??
will go down in journalism history as the strangest hill to die on, ever.
tm they’ll publish some soft-boiled sidebar detailing Trump’s Rose Garden “falsehoods”

i'm always amazed that there's never one WH reporter, after being showered w/ lies from Trump for an hour, who has the courage to raise his/her hand and say, 'why do you lie about everything?'
you know how hard it is to AVOID that question?
turning a collective blind eye is the antithesis of what good journalism is all abt

Two months ago

2 Hispanic women were approached and harassed by a racist white lady for speaking Spanish in store.

Another white woman who saw and heard this happening immediately stepped in to defend them.

Kamria Trent is the epitome of an ally

1. You don't have to carry a marginalized Identity to stand up for marginalized people.

2. Speaking in your native tongue at this moment at this time is a form of RESISTANCE. Keep speaking it in public.

If you see Xenophobia, Islamophobia, Racism, Misogyny, Homophobia CALL IT OUT.

You shouldn't have to be a Mexican, Immigrant, Muslim, Black, Woman, or Gay to do that.

My Mum lost her password for 23andme. Instead of getting a new one, she ordered another spit kit, gave another sample, and had another DNA test!

Today, she rings me: baffled, but excited and happy, that they’ve found a twin she didn’t know about!

Guys, her father was a FRS.

I am beginning to think she got Nana’s arty genes.
Geneticists. I apologise if she’s fucked up your data.

Two months ago I announced to Twitter that I'd be spending less time Twittering, as work commitments had changed. Some misinterpreted this and thought I'd got a new job - that was not the case.

It was the last gasp of my then job.

I was made redundant at the end of September.
Since the end of the month, I've been less active on here as I take stock and find other things to occupy my time. I have considered whether I should re-intensify my Twittering and possibly start blogging on Brexit but I'm not sure. I'm still in a bit of a limbo with regards work
So I'm not sure what I will be doing over the next couple of months. Perhaps a change of direction. People seem to appreciate the stuff I post on here so maybe there's a future in that somehow. I'm really not sure.

After sleeping on this, I’ve unearthed a couple of salient points.this Op-Ed-as I said-is actually a more brilliant piece of writing than anyone has noticed. It’s incredibly hard to write with this much precision on a topic about which you ultimately divulge no information.
This is also a verifiable masterpiece of spinning language, worthy of its own Pulitzer Prize. You’ve noticed how the Democrats echo each other. Here’s “kids in cages” to refresh your memory but there are a thousand loops of this-all the same. They have 0 creativity changing words
That’s what makes this @nytopinion so astounding. It repeats every BS narrative of the last two years without using any of the same language. To tell you hard that is: imagine making a Land Rover without using any of the original parts, but making it even better.

Jimin wouldn’t allow himself to be trapped on his shift for any longer than necessary.

“Go, go,” Taehyung hurried, taking Jimin’s apron to let him slip out from behind the counter more quickly. Jimin decided he could get the grounds out from under his nails at home.
This morning had been absolute hell. Two girls ordered seven drinks, Jimin made them all only for them to say they were supposed to be with almond milk.

‘Oh I’m so sorry,’ was he all he had legally been allowed to say at the time, while his mind had far more colorful ideas.
With Jimin officially clocked out, he slumped on the customer side of the now empty service counter, looking to his friend with tired eyes.

“You wanna grab dinner later?”
“I can’t, remem—?
“Ah, right...”

Jimin’s disappointment vanished as Taehyung suddenly smiled to himself.

Humans are terrible predictors. Following is a compilation (in chronological order) of the worst predictions ever made by humans across history:

(THREAD)...
"The year which has passed has not, indeed, been market by any of those striking discoveries which at once revolutionize, so to speak, the department of science on which they bear" - Thomas Bell, reviewing scientific studies of the year including Darwin's Theory of Evolution,1858
"Drill for oil? You mean drill into the ground to try and find oil? You're crazy." - Workers whom Edwin L. Drake tried to enlist to his project to drill for oil, 1859
