My thoughts
I’ve said for a long time there is an amazing societal convergence that sees the peak of materialism, elitism, and need to be recognized all at the same time.
Anything that can add to the façade of prestige and importance from photos in front of private jets to post on Instagram to the surge of plastic surgery procedures including 200,000 teens last year.
And many parents have gotten into the action which might explain their fixation on getting their children into an Ivy League school at any cost. Anyone can get a lift or a tuck but consider 16 US presidents including the last five attended an Ivy League school.
Now, that’s something to brag about.

When the media frames President Trump reopening government as a "win" for Pelosi it underscores the true source of division and divisiness in the country. Government should always be seeking policies that benefit the nation.
When those policies, are creating jobs and higher wages, wider prosperity and optimism it's a win for America not a person or party. Oddly that narrative has been nonexistent the last two years and those "wins" hardly reported.
President Trump did the right thing on Friday because too many Americans were being hurt. He will always lose the media-driven blame game so that should be irrelevant in his decision-making. By the same token he should be looking for a wins for all Americans.

Today I was rushing home walking through Time Square when I had to stop for traffic. There was a homeless women sitting under the sign with her head down. I slipped $50 bill into the hat she was using to collect any donations. I turn back and waited for the light to change.
That's when someone tapped me on the back. I turned and it was the woman, standing there with tears in her eyes. She reached out hug me and told me she could buy her medicine. Her emotions were so powerful and I hugged her back as I shed a couple tears, too.
I grappled with sharing this story because its not why I helped her. But the thing is she helped me so much more. Her joy and appreciation only makes me want to help more people- especially helpless strangers. So, I'm sharing the story to remind everyone to count your blessings.

Powell Interview
When Rubenstein recalled how Powell shot to prominence in DC circles when he was at the Bipartisan Policy Center and pushed Congress to raise the debt ceiling in 2011. He talked about incoming bills to bolster his case not hiking the ceiling would be a disaster.
This dovetails with the warning from Fitch yesterday that if the debt ceiling isn't raised America's economic standing will be hit hard (and their rating lowered from AAA). This makes the shutdown a bigger deal the longer it goes on.
Other than that I don't see what else Powell might have been said or not said - He described a Goldilocks US economy and seems proud of the economy. Saying he wants to keep it going.

1/ Everyone seems to be talking about WTO reform at the moment. Thought I would share some of my thoughts. This conversation has been a long time coming. The membership of the @WTO has been skirting around the issue since #MC10 in 2015 (and before @DmitryOpines & others whisper).
2/ In 2015, the WTO held the 10th Ministerial Conference. This was the first time there was no agreement among all the countries (and territories) present were unable to agree to continue the Doha Development Round of trade negotiations. #DDA. They agreed to disagree.
3/ Lots of historical reasons for this (and a separate discussion in itself) but result was that the @WTO no longer had an overarching trade negotiation to aim towards. This meant that the membership once again focused on the regular functioning of the organisation.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

Alright, some thoughts on @magicleap! Been waiting a long time and I’m excited for others to get in, explore Magic Leap, and to understand the possibilities of a good mixed reality experience. #MagicLeap #MagicLeapOne
Packaging and materials are really nice. I was surprised at how easily everything came together out-of-the-box.
Setup was both simple and difficult at the same time - I wish I could’ve entered all my credentials (Wi-Fi, username/password, etc.,) via the companion app and then used the companion app to pair with Lightwear to transfer (similar to Apple’s HomePod setup experience)

Are you one of those people who's looked back on 2017 and convinced yourself that you haven't achieved anything? Worried about catching up with your mates who seem to have done much better?

Let me tell you a story about #time.

A thread 👇
A long #time ago, back when I was about twelve or thirteen years old, my parents travelled to Uyo.

Before leaving, my mother asked me to prepare Edikang ikong soup so she and my father would eat when they returned.
When I was finished with the soup, it was supposed to look something like this:
