I really need to figure out how I'm going to archive and preserve the GIF battles I have with my 12-year-old.
AAAND this is making me back up my phone, and so I just did some poking around in old videos, and now I'm deceased.
Twenty-five seconds of the now-12-year-old singing Jamaica Farewell when we were out getting Chinese food when she was two and a half...
She had to leave a little girl in Kingston town, people.

I have never deleted a voicemail that either of my children have ever sent me.
On this subject, Apple really should make it easier to save and name old voicemails and other voice memos.
Relatedly: If you have small children, make a point of making audio recordings of you hanging out with them ALL THE TIME. I have some, but you never get around to doing it as often as you mean to.

Border Patrol detains a nine-year-old girl, a US citizen with a US passport, for 32 hours. Refuses to say why. nbcsandiego.com/news/local/You…
Oh, and they forced her 14-year-old brother to sign false documents by threatening to charge him with sex trafficking.
It took the intervention of the Mexican government to get this nine-year-old American girl released. The Mexican government.

Since folks still seem confused: There's nothing in the tweet below that suggests that I didn't understand that Podhoretz was joking when he called for the murder of thousands of people because a college hired two journalists. Yes. He was joking. Yes. I got that.
Also, Podhoretz himself has apologized for the tweet. So either the tweet was bad and worthy of an apology, or he's a craven little weasel who apologizes for stuff he shouldn't apologize for. Either way, seems to me you're quarrel is with him, not me, at this point.
And if you're somehow still mad I didn't make it clearer that he was joking, please share your theory of my tweet. Is it that I was trying to trick people into thinking that the editor of Commentary had written a sincere exhortation to nuclear mass murder? On Twitter? Really?

"New Shepard and suborbital spaceflights, including passenger flights, represent the first step because 'the frequency of those missions can be very high," providing lots of practice [and cash flow] for more challenging missions, Jeff Bezos said. geekwire.com/2019/jeff-bezo…
Cash flow from launching school bus-sized commercial geostationary (GEO) satellites has dropped. New GEO orders once as numerous as 20 to 25 per year worldwide dropped to 17 in 2015 and 2016. latimes.com/business/la-fi… New revenue sources are needed like Starlink and One Web.
ULA is huge in two ways (1) payload capacity and (2) cost. Not viable for commercial launches.

Height: 233 feet
Weight: 1.6 million pounds
Thrust: 2.1 million pounds
Fuel: 465,000 gallons of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen

The one autism & parenting approach I want folks to absorb for 2019: if your #autistic child is violent or aggressive then that usually means something is really really wrong with them, health or environment-wise, and you really need to figure out what it is—for everyone’s sake.
It can be really, really hard to figure out the source of an autistic kid’s (or adult’s) extreme distress. But you know what makes it harder? People assuming aggression is "because of autism,” & not because something is wrong. And then so much avoidable suffering happens.
This is why you don’t want to listen to #autism “experts" who recommend “extinction,” punishments or aversives for kids who are aggressive, without even bothering to figure out why they might be in pain or other distress—because that is ignoring/punishing someone who needs help.

#CampFire thread: Paradise was a disaster waiting to happen

“Years and years ago we knew we had a problem with that community," a Cal Fire chief said. They prepared, but the "fire moved more than twice as fast as was predicted under the worst scenarios"
buzzfeednews.com/article/briann…
Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke called the Camp fire, which practically destroyed the town of Paradise, “worse than any war zone I saw in Iraq.”

I've said this a few times, but I believe there's a lot of ways of stopping Brexit and that except under some very exceptional circumstances, I'm not sure a second referendum is the best way of achieving that. Here's why.
Let's talk about the second referendum first, and what it might ask. I've heard nary a peep about what the question would be, and there's a good reason for that: there's just not a good option for the question.
You could ask "do you accept xyz deal?" There's two camps who WON'T accept xyz deal: those who would prefer to remain, and those hardcore brexit types. It would either result in giving ~mandate~ to govt deal (bad) or a no deal (fucking terrible).

Leaving a big company job for a startup can rejuvenate your career and make you love work again.💖

But landing a startup job requires relearning some things, especially if (like me) you logged years and years at Microgoogfaceforceazon.

Here are six things I wish I'd known:
1) At a startup, you will probably make less money at first.

Yes, if you join the perfect startup early enough, your equity may someday turn into a private island and 200 foot yacht. But, in the meantime, your take home pay is likely going to be a bit less than it is now.
The so-called “golden handcuffs” that big companies give you in stock grants/bonuses that vest over time are because those companies need to overpay you in order to get you to stay.

Think about the metaphor for a second: You don't have to handcuff people to things they love.
