1/3 There’s nothing that I can see - publicly or privately - to suggest that PM is remotely serious about any compromise around single market/customs union...or indeed that she would have the time to do anything meaningful on it even if she was.
2/3 it is clear that her strategy is to run down the clock with empty promises and then attempt to blackmail MPs. What’s not yet clear is if she’ll try to blackmail moderate MPs with threat of no deal or, as per Olly Robbins’ bar chat, Brexit zealots with threat of delay, or both
3/3 it is beyond unacceptable on an issue of such magnitude that MPs allow themselves to be forced into a fire or frying pan choice. The priority for all sensible MPs must surely be to insist on an Article 50 extension to take the crippling threat of no deal off the table now.

Since it’s Christmas, I’m going to indulge myself in some book chat (so look away now if you’re only here for the politics). In the next few tweets, I’ll share the books I’ve most enjoyed in 2018 (tho no doubt I’ll have missed out a few crackers, so apologies in advance)...1/
2/ First up is the crime/thriller category - always a favourite
3/ next is general fiction - I’ve read lots of good stuff this year so not easy to choose but here goes...

1/ The UK government’s immigration proposals are an act of vandalism on the Scottish economy & public services. They will send our working population into decline, depress growth, reduce revenues & deprive us of the presence & contribution of people who want to build a life here
2/ @scotgov modelling shows that a 50% reduction in EU migration will send our working age population into decline. The estimate in this paper is that the UKG proposals could reduce EU/EEA migration to Scotland by 85%. That will devastate our economy and care sector.
3/ the hit to population and revenues is tangible. Less so - but still so important - is the loss to our society of hardworking people who enrich our society. And of course, ending free movement cuts both ways - we all lose our rights to live, work and study freely across the EU.

Hello. At about 2:00 PM today, I'm going to be doing a deep dive of the State of the Union address. Why am I talking about a three day old speech? Because I've spent two days thinking about it and now I'm ready.
For new followers who've never seen me do this, I'm not a fact checker so I leave that to people with the resources. What I do is apply literary and media analysis skills to the speech, which is an attempt to tell a story, and generally apply my knowledge of human communication.
One reason I'm able to take my time and go as deep as I want is I'm not writing to deadlines, because I'm completely independent and finance my work through voluntary tips. If you'd like to help salt the pan this morning, feel free.

Hello friends, I would like to tell you about #BurnsNight and why it inspires a very particular fondness in my heart.

This is a story about a man, but it’s also a story about Scotland and about friends and about how we live on in those we love.

💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
Burns Night is a celebration of Scotland’s national poet, Robert Burns.

And really, isn’t that wonderful all on its own? To have a celebration for hundreds and hundreds of years of an ordinary man with the gift of the gab.
Burns was a working man, a farmer, raised in poverty and hardship with little formal education.

And yet he became responsible for some of the most beautiful words in the Scottish language or, I would argue, any language.

o bozo foi 11 anos do partido do maluf, mais denunciado na lava jato; está na lista de furnas recebendo propina; emprega familiares e servidora fantasma que vende açaí; usou verba pública pra "comer gente"; sua campanha é feita com fake news de caixa 2

esse aí nunca foi honesto
o bozo foi 11 anos do PP, partido do maluf, o mais investigado na lava jato. claro que ele sabia da corrupção no partido e é claro que suas campanhas eram financiadas com dinheiro de corrupção #BolsonaroLadrão #Caixa2doBolsonaro brasil.elpais.com/brasil/2018/04…

tanto sabia da corrupção no partido que, qnd foi explicar os 200 mil que recebeu da JBS do joesley batista (que ele lavou com o próprio partido pra fingir que não recebeu), o próprio bozo admitiu que seu partido recebia propina jovempan.uol.com.br/programas/ao-e…

"Tam x hakkında konuşuyorduk, 5 dk sonra onun reklamını gördüm"

ve

"Tam annemi düşünüyorken telefon çaldı, bil bakalım kim"

anektodları epey benzer. İnsan Facebook haberlerini vb okuyunca tetikte olup (priming), böyle tesadüflere daha duyarlı oluyor (selective attention).

Teknoloji mevcut tabii. Tam 250 uygulamanın mikrofon erişimi var: popularmechanics.com/technology/sec…

Yani Apple ve Google yapmasa bile (yapmıyoruz diyorlar), 3. parti uygulamalar onlardan ve kullanıcıdan gizleyerek bu verileri alıp, sonra FB üzerinden size odaklı reklam verebilirler mesela
Ama işin açıkçası buna gerek yok. Google'ın sahip olduğu veriler hakkında geçen gün yazmıştım.

Orada yazmadığım detaylardan biri de şu: Google'ın ABD'deki tüm kredi kartı alışverişlerinin %70'ine erişimi var. (Veri toptancılarıyla ortaklığı sonucu)
