Given the great rap in history, it says so much about #TheGrammys that this is the *1st time*

- a solo female rapper won best rap album
- a rapper won song of the year
- a rapper won record of the year

Many people have been saying this but I'm happy to echo / be repetitive here
And if you're here for news not music -- tonight we have a special report on a lawyer many call Mueller's most aggressive prosecutor with @bethanymac12

... and a breakdown of Trump's light schedule with THE @sallykohn

James Comey, a key Mueller witness, chooses to weigh in on how Mueller findings should be released and invokes his own FBI announcement on Clinton as a precedent for what to do.

A few points...
wapo.st/2ITW0kg?tid=ss…
Comey says his goal here is to help support DOJ "transparency" -- but it does not help to link his own *violation* of DOJ rules in the Clinton case to what Barr may do that would be *consistent* with DOJ rules....
Comey lists 4 times when findings from a federal investigation *were* released for the public interest:

Ferguson

IRS Tea Party

Padilla detention

Clinton email

The first 3 were done *by the DOJ* under the rules;

Only his Clinton case was the FBI usurping against the rules.

Just spoke to lawyers for ex-Trump aides who flipped in the Mueller probe (Gates, George P) and lawyers who negotiated with Mueller team for other witnesses.

They say Mueller is effective, intimidating, tracking collusion.

Never done one like this...
And we should remember for all the discussion of Mueller, there are still only 2 sources of firsthand info about the probe:

-what Mueller releases via court filings
-information released by people who interact directly with Mueller's team- witnesses, defendants & their lawyers
When reporters (or others) want hard intel on the Mueller probe -- things that people saw or experienced -- we need those witnesses or their lawyers.

The great reporting we see on WHO Mueller interviewed, what his team is asking -- that's coming from witnesses or lawyers.

Is it better to pack several small things into one tweet, or do several little mundane tweets in a row?
Originally Twitter was going to be mostly mundane musings right? The bar was supposed to be low
Couple things -- thanks to @RickRoss for RT'ing The Beat!.. I'm guest hosting The Last Word tonight... and we will cover tonight's new Daily Beast story on how The National Enquirer rolls

0/61: Here is my 61-part trivia thread on the 61st #Grammys, taking place tomorrow in Los Angeles.
1/61: Grammy nominees for Record, Album, and Song of the Year.
2/61: Childish Gambino and @KendrickLamar have both been nominated for Record of the Year two years in a row. The last person to do that was @TaylorSwift13 for “Shake It Off” and “Blank Space.”

So after the Salt-N-Pepa harangue from earlier, imma channel my frustration. I’m always explaining to some and reminding others what hip-hop’s expansion was like for those of us growing up n small towns in the 80s/90s. The radio was R&B—were it not for acts like Salt-N-Pepa
I went more into Salt-N-Pepa and Hurby's legacy here. But understand, I got my Rakim/BDP/De La fix from video shows like Yo! MTV Raps and Rap City. But the radio? It was poppy rap tunes from hook-driven acts like these sprinkled in w/the new jack R&B hits.
And the biggest was probably these dudes. They’d drop He’s the DJ I’m the Rapper in 88 and became one of the most popular rap acts of the late 80s with a formula that was half dynamic DJ/MC duo and half comedic novelty songs.

There's been so much hype about #Zanzibar, but at the same time, a few people weren't particularly thrilled. Had to go find out for myself ,so some friends and I planned a trip. What I think? Top rating for beaches, good food, so much to see, history. Read this thread... #Travel
From #DaresSalaam, you have the options of flying or going by ferry to #Zanzibar. On the other hand, you could fly directly there. We spent a few days in Dar, then we went by ferry...it cost $35 per person for economy and $50 per person for VIP. We travelled in the VIP section.
It takes 1hr30mins to get to Zanzibar by ferry. It could take longer when it's turbulent. The hotel we stayed in was an hour away from stone town. We stayed in Nungwi which is North of Zanzibar. #Travel #Africa #Tanzania #holidays

#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.

THREAD Friday mini #tweetorial! Despite having a learner w me in #periopmedicine clinic the last two days, I neglected to tweet any #postitpearls (though lots of great learning + pt care!). BUT had 2 back-to-back cases raising questions of weight we place on self-reported pt info
2/ will be intentionally vague to protect PHI without diluting learning value...for all the talk re #EHR clutter, EHRs helping propagate accurate info but also "chart lore" false info, #backtobedside, #patientsbeforepaperwork...when can you "take a pt's word for it" in preop?
3/ pt A-early 50s, elective ortho surgery (though pain affecting QOL & activity levels), VERY vague "MI" and "CAD" history in chart from decade ago, no immediately available records, some risk factors for premature CAD (tobacco) but no interval events...

1/ #qanon is the most verified insider ever.

Let's go through some of the proofs he's given.
2/ A note before I get started: when you have a theory that fits all of the evidence in one go, then it's much more likely to be true than mutiple individual explanations for pieces of evidence.

Theory: insider with Q Clearance next to POTUS leaked to 4/8 chan.

#qanon
3/ First incontrovertible piece of evidence he was telling the truth: #qanon predicted @realDonaldTrump's Twitter being attacked, a ridiculous thing to even make up let alone predict.

A few hours later, it was.
