idk why i’m so nervous about flying to NYC and taking a cab 10 miles but have no problem wandering around europe aimlessly.
watching law & order for 25+ years and a season of high maintenance has given me no real concept of how anything is laid out in NYC.
manhattan, queens, harlem, the lower east side, hell’s kitchen, the bronx. these are words on a page with no spatial relationship to each other. i’d do a better job navigating from the shire to mt. doom from memory.
man who grew up watching escape from new york and death wish: hmm, why am i nervous about going to NYC 🤔

Holy cow. This NY Times story is just littered with seismic earth-shakers sure to rattle the windows at the White House.

Yowza. My very quick first-blush take on the meaty nuggets...

First, here’s the link:

Let’s dive in!

In the days after Comey’s firing, the FBI opened a COUNTERINTELLIGENCE investigation of Trump himself.

WOW!

Unlike the initial Trump-Russia investigation (which was looking primarily at events in 2016), the counterintel investigation was basically surveillance in 2017+.

Naturally, deciding to basically turn your national security and intelligence magnifying glasses on the President of the United States is a BIG DEAL.

The FBI didn’t enter into it lightly.

The rise of @jairbolsonaro was predictable.

Brazilians have been craving "law & order" for years, but their democratic leaders largely ignored them. I started writing about this in Nov 2015, after I was caught in a fatal shootout in the Amazon 1/?
This was a gunfight following a prison escape. Hundreds of us were stuck on the highway for hours as police searched (in vain) for the killers. The vibe in the crowd shocked me, was ENTIRELY different from the 2000s Brazil I first knew:
By April 2016 Congress was debating Dilma Rousseff's impeachment, but many Brazilians had already decided *entire* political class was corrupt. After interviewing people at a "Fora Todos Eles" ("They all must go") march in SP, I wrote for 1st time Bolsonaro could win in 2018

"Law & Order: Hate Crimes" is a bad idea based on a bogus spike in bias-based crimes reason.com/blog/2018/09/0…
But there's actually no evidence, save for misleading media headlines, that there's been an "egregious" spike in bias-based offenses, not since Trump was elected nor over the past decade.
In 2016, the most recent year for which the FBI has data, the national hate-crime rate was significantly lower than had been reported in 2001, 2006, 2008, or 2012.

One of my favorite things about cats is how they set goals for themselves and then engage in sheer bloody-minded stubbornness but because they're cats it's also sneaky and circuitous, but like, not COMPETENT.
When I was in Vacationland with my parents at the house they rent there every year, my sister brought her cat with her to his Country Estate.
And in the central room of the house is this old stone fireplace with, y'know, the stones sort of sticking out of the cement they're embedded in. And on either side of the fireplace, about 8 inches below the ceiling, was a small, shallow shelf.

Gauri Lankesh murder is very similar to what was witnessed in murder of Kalburgi. We want justice for Journalists.
