Trying to figure out what to watch this weekend? We have some ideas.

If you’re in the mood for some sci-fi, head to the movie theaters to watch @captive_state, a dystopian tale about the perils of political tyranny, revolution—and aliens, of course wired.trib.al/qwpRBiV 1/
Or maybe you’re feeling more like sitting on your couch all weekend (we can relate). Check out @hulu's ‘Shrill’, a show about a young, fat, female journalist which tackles everything from trolling to abortions with a refreshing frankness wired.trib.al/YssX2h5 2/
If you’re looking for some more… ‘after dark’ content, consider ‘Love, Death & Robots’, a not *at all* safe for work animated anthology of science-fiction and horror short stories from @netflix that is viscerally enjoyable (and just plain visceral) wired.trib.al/HHEHuKo 3/
And if you're one of the approximately 10 people in the entire world who somehow hasn't seen @captainmarvel yet, this weekend's the perfect time so you’re up to speed before ‘Avengers: Endgame’ drops wired.trib.al/Up0MhHl 4/

This week marks the one-year anniversary of Facebook’s Cambridge Analytica scandal, which turned a little-known political consulting firm into the poster child for how personal data can be misused. 1/ wired.trib.al/jQ1g8VD
Cambridge Analytica used Facebook data collected from tens of millions of Americans without their consent to build a “psychological warfare tool,” which it unleashed on US voters before the 2016 presidential election. 2/ wired.trib.al/jQ1g8VD
In December 2014, John Rust, a professor at the University of Cambridge, warned about the potential danger of Facebook data manipulation. 6 months later, Trump launched his presidential campaign that depended, in part, on Cambridge Analytica's work. 3/ wired.trib.al/rhSbjfx

Documents obtained by the ACLU show that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement used unofficial channels to access billions of license plate location data points—including some in sanctuary cities—to track people’s movements. Here’s what we know: 1/ wired.trib.al/lVpgvFL
License plate readers have become an increasingly popular tool for law enforcement around the United States, and ICE has aggressively pursued that data, through a $6.1 million contract with a private firm called Vigilant Solutions. 2/ wired.trib.al/lVpgvFL
The internal documents show ICE has access to 5 billion records gathered by private businesses, as well as 1.5 billion data points contributed by over 80 local law enforcement agencies from more than a dozen states. 3/ wired.trib.al/lVpgvFL

Heat waves are becoming more frequent and severe on land, and a new study shows the same thing is happening in oceans. The result? Some of the ocean’s most important species are being wiped out. Here's what it means (Hint: It's not good) 1/ wired.trib.al/MMqP56E
We rely on the oceans for oxygen, food, storm protection, and removal of climate-warming carbon dioxide. As heat waves have increased, kelp forests, seagrass meadows, and coral reefs, species that are critical to life in the ocean, have been lost 2/ wired.trib.al/MMqP56E
For the study, researchers focused on extreme temperature spikes that lasted five days or more. They found heat wave days jumped by more than 50% from 1986-2016 and identified harmful hot spots ranging from the northeast Atlantic to the western Pacific 3/ wired.trib.al/MMqP56E

Trying to figure out why the kids want to swap "gender" [social sex roles that evolve historically and of which 1st world sexism is a vestige] with the radlib concept of socioeconomic sex class, basically the CIA's invention to use feminism against socialists.
The way Ivan Illich put the distinction between a traditional gendered and sexist liberal society used to be sort of common sense. Radfem (I meant, not radlib) produced some enduring insights but also a lot of liberal gunk was issued in its idiom and from its milieu.
In hindsight the yoots confuse radfems with the socialist feminism of the 70s (understandably, as there was a mass feminist movement that encompassed all). In that period, the movement was "women's liberation". Theorizing "gender" (as opposed to "the sexes") emerged from

Trying to figure out Brennan here. Looking at things from a new angle. (Big Hero 6 style)

Was Joshua Schulte working with the Russian Conspirators to “hack the DNC” while on the clock for CIA? (appears so)

Was the FBI counterintel investigation into that?
If you check my pinned tweet, Joshua Schultes activities, as listed in the indictments, track along with the Russian “hacks”. While on the CIA clock. FBI was aware that the Russians were hacking. If (big leap) Schulte was working with them, did FBI know it? When did they find out
Everyone involved, FBI, Good Harbor, Crowdstrike, etc allowed the Russians to stay active until Oct 2016.

That’s a long time to watch hackers as they browse a Presidential campaign network.

Schulte was free to leave CIA and get a new job.

If you, like me, have been trying to figure out the preferred term of address for Christine Blasey Ford, I just went back and checked and her attorneys referred to her as "Dr. Ford" in their Tuesday letter to Grassley. cnn.com/2018/09/18/pol…
(Also: The Washington Post, which has interviewed her, uses "Ford." The New York Times, which has not, uses "Blasey.")
Dr. Ford uses her birth name—Christine Blasey—professionally, but available evidence points strongly to her preferring "Dr. Ford" in coverage of her allegations against Judge Kavanaugh. So that's what I'll be using from here on out.

There is no sense in which that is fascism. Fascism is intensely dangerous. Removing enforcement discretion is not.
@RadioFreeTom is right. These people want to live in exciting times, to further their own stories, without the pain and Terror exciting times always produce.
This sort of ridiculousness doesn't even rise to the level of histrionics. It is so divorced from the real dangers to our system that it invites apathy as a direct response.

I listen to interviews/podcasts/lectures while driving. I found one from @naval and listened to it for the second time today. He talks about some incredible things. Here's what i've compiled:
"A really good book can change your life in the most positive manner. This is not something I believe I can save money on. Even when I was broke i spent a lot on books. I see it as an investment, not an expense."
"It’s really about identifying what good books are to you. Different books speak to different people."
