At that point where I wonder if it’s worth it ... to write (talking points and transitions on my slides)... to read...

Thanks for encouragement @WassermanMarika and @mbeddedartistry, and for encouraging retweets @arctips and @ekrylov_us and @1macias1 — moved the needle on tonight’s batch of slide annotations :-)
My favorite Sarah Mei quotes depend on the context. In this context, they are:
Me, with those annotations (I feel so seen) ;)

Thing Explainer does what it does ("complicated stuff in simple words") largely with the aid of diagrams (often cut-away diagrams to show the workings).

If you haven't read any Thing Explainer, here is how well it conveys key ideas of the US Constitution:
Architecture Decision Records are essential, but our architecture explainers (mechanism explainers and structure explainers) could stand to include something more like the elevator explainer, just losing the word constraint (we have enough expression/understandability contraints)
Like this, see?

@RuffyanMe Wellll, following the arc from architecture is design and Herbert Simon's Sciences of the Artificial, we might find ourselves arriving at the likes of @cyetain and @DanaBredemeyer (and moi), along with books like @eoinwoodz and @NickRozanski's amazon.com/Software-Syste…
@RuffyanMe @cyetain @DanaBredemeyer @eoinwoodz @NickRozanski and many others, including those on @Grady_Booch's Handbook of Software Architecture site at handbookofsoftwarearchitecture.com/?page_id=30
@RuffyanMe But since architectural design is a matter of weighing and resolving the various forces on the system, anything to do with structural integrity (scalability, availability, reliability, safety,....) and system integrity (coherence, fit to purpose and to context) and sustainability

"The FBI does not reach conclusions" is one of the weakest talking points I've ever heard in politics. And I used to write talking points for a living.

#KavanaughHearings
And let me add: I don't care if Joe Biden said it in 1991. The Republicans and #Kavanaugh are using it as an excuse not to have a thorough investigation.
Crystal clear that the entire GOP and #Kavanaugh have been given the "FBI does not reach conclusions" talking point. What a joke. No one is asking for conclusions, just a thorough, impartial investigation.

Right wing media outlets have been colluding for years #DarkJournalism

When your funding is coming from the same people, why not align your talking points as well.

Get familiar with project Groundswell.

1. I just want to quickly address something that is still under intense investigation by lots of folks here. It's super intriguing and very crafty. And very secret! What happened? Off we go!
2. In case you missed it, "The Atlantic" wrote an article about Wikileaks and Don Jr. exchanging twitter messages during and after the campaign. I wish we could do subthreads, because there is a lot there as well. For now, Here is the article: theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
3. Immediately following this intentionally misleading article (more on that in a later thread) Don Jr. released the full information, and Julian Assange timed in with his own responses.
