have to say I’m sad abt the whole new genre of primary takedown pieces. Dem primaries didn’t use to look like this....is what it is.
I’d love to read anti-takedowns—passionate, smart pitches in favor of particular candidates (any/all of them!)
and obv I’m referring to new brand of primary takedowns that appear 10 months before anyone votes

Sessions was fired so Barr could oversee cover-up....Trump doesn’t even try to camouflage the corruption
yet too many in the press look at it like it’s some impossible-to-solve puzzle
Sessions had recused himself and WH needed a concrete backstop at DOJ to quash any obstruction of justice charge—Barr wrote last year that Trump could never to charged w/ obstruction!

hey @nytimes, you want to go first?? dailykos.com/stories/2019/4…
even AP says it's time to bury those timid "racially charged" euphemisms when reporting on obviously racist comments

but will press have the guts to do that w/ Trump?
good journalism is abt truth telling.

if you won't say, when it's appropriate, that Trump's comments are "racist," you're not telling the truth — yr hiding it.

here's what I wrote in real time last week re: Mueller report.

1. press was being willingly duped by Barr into pretending his press release = 'total exoneration'; dailykos.com/stories/2019/3…
2. press was being willingly duped by WH into pretending the Russia story was over; dailykos.com/stories/2019/3…
unanswered Q: why were newsroom so anxious to exonerate the most corrupt president in US history?

why were newsrooms so anxious to pretend they read the Mueller report?

@antirez I’d like you to reconsider the stance on master-slave terminology. Not only does it have some terrible legacy and connotations, it’s also just a worse technical term. Naming things better is a key part of progress in tech. Please.
@antirez I completely understand the first impulse to dig in your heels, and to reach for the slippery slope, or imagined examples. I’ve been there! But let that impulse pass, and there’s room to consider how using better words when presented with the option actually is better.
@antirez That doesn’t mean you have to agree all the time with every term. Hey, I have a new book out that has the word “crazy” in the title, and some people don’t like that. It doesn’t have to be complete submission on every term in order to get better.

I have long argued 1991 was a pivotal year for modern music. Allow me to explain why in this Friday feel-good #thread. #TheYearWas1991
For many genres, 1991 was a watershed moment. The albums released in that year often represent the start of a whole new generation of music. #TheYearWas1991
In this thread I aim to demonstrate how the music released in 1991 is still relevant today, either as parts of the public consciousness, cultural reference, or even as music still played on radio, TV, and probably on your computer or smartphone. #TheYearWas1991

And who said: "unconditional direct income support to farmers is manifestly absurd in today’s world when it maintains uncompetitive farming practices that have negative implications for the climate, the environment or people’s health"?

So, while we are resting on the #FBPE-laurels after a hot chase of #WATON, a few very preliminary thoughts on #Brexit and #genre. As my handle indicates, I came to #Twitter with an intent to talk about genre #research, but I have ended up talking about Brexit instead. 1/
Or is that indeed "instead"? A central finding of #genrestudies is that #genre is well nigh omnipresent in human culture, cognition, and communication. Thus, we think, react, and act in genre patterns, and we all have a surprising aptitude for understanding and using genre. 2/
Thus, it may never have entered your mind while discussing #Brexit (or, hopefully, the lack thereof) that you are constantly using and discussing #genre. But you are. Allow me to show you. 3/
