I have yet to see Green Book and this have no option about its merits but WILL EMPHATICALLY SAY, that this #99pi explaining the history is fab and bonus @thememorypalace is even better 99percentinvisible.org/episode/the-gr…
.@romanmars says that @thememorypalace is the best writer in radio and idk they might have to duke it out (and also @ScottCarrier57) but the last line of Nate’s piece made me cry. Heightened by listening to Roman’s first.
I know that’s two white guys weighing in on a key moment—passport, really—of Black history but if you listen I swear you will not be disappointed. Or you can come back and yell at us all here.

Remember, @brianstelter's network was the dung beetle that started rolling this shitball.
This has nothing to do with tradition. It has to do with the refs being worked. And maybe ratings. Though I'm betting most non journos will just watch Netflix.
How many reporters and podcasters will decry this move publicly or privately, only to collect their "analyst" checks?

.@AOC would drive the right insane, so there's that. And she'd probably realize what everybody else should: This isn't an opportunity to rebut the speech, but to lay out the vision/promise of the party.
Whoever does this speech should proceed from this piont: This is usually a boring awkward asymetrical exercise. Fuck that. Let's get real.

See a few tweets discussing the EURO at 20. Reminds me of a blog post I wrote about central banking in the EU, the power of central banking, and the relationship of "central bank independence" in regard to Brexit. So I will tweet a few things from it.

1/ When the 1992 Treaty on The European Union was signed, giving unprecedented power to a new independent European Central Bank. Article 107 was of incredible importance & significance but of course politicians just signed-away.

PDF of Maastricht Treaty: europa.eu/european-union…
2/ After the failed ratification of the EU Constitution, The Treaty of Lisbon was smuggled in by-the-backdoor as new rules for the EU using the 'amendments' legal loophole.

#History/#Art thread – From my recent trip to Madurai/Tirunelveli. On Jain sites (some with a rich history dating back to at least the 3rd cent. BCE), early Pandyan rock-cut cave temples (7th-8th cent. CE) & the amazing Vettuvan koil.

Pic: Mahavira (~8 cent CE), Kizhakuyilkudi
Before I start on the places, the history around all this is fascinating & splits opinion. Is it apt to call the script Tamili/Tamil Brahmi? Did it develop independently in the Tamil country/come with the Jain monks from the north? Were 8,000 Jains actually impaled in Madurai?>
>Were the Saivites overaggressive in promoting their faith? Shall only be happy to discuss on these separately (unless it gets too long/irrational). And I’m not posting every inscription from the places here, despite their importance. Again, shall be happy to discuss them.

1/n. Saving all the cool new data sources and tools I learned about at #APSA2018.

(1) #TeamTrump #PhotoThread: Visit to Europe July 2018 - Part III.

Blenheim Palace, London, Sandhurst, Chelsea, Chequers, Windsor, then on to Scotland and the #HelsinkiSummit with Russia.
(2) Picking up where we left off, there are additional photos from events covered in Part I and II, plus new photos from Windsor Castle, Air Force One landing in Glasgow, and a few from outside The Trumps' private weekend at Trump Turnberry Club.

Chequers continued:
(3) The Chequers meeting and especially the press conference was a triumph. Lots of photos and video showing how relaxed and assured the two leaders are with each other. And the smackdown toward CNN was fantastic.

A quick, angry #history thread about Room 40 because apparently historians are still making shit up about its location. Last year Barry Gough wrote that it was "in a quiet wing of the Old Admiralty Building". 1/
Those windows outlined in green? That's Room 40. Where the blue lines are? That's the Board Room. @thehistoryguy should know, he's been filmed in it, but still talked rubbish about Room 40. The red lines? The Chief of the Staff's office. In orange? The war room. 2/
The light blue lines are where the Director of Intelligence Division (later DNI)'s office was (he later moved next door). Pink is Alfred Ewing's office where the codebreaking effort began. Dark blue is where the First Sea Lord moved his office later in the war. 3/
