LoL. I await the sequel: “This obscure British writer predicted a world of ‘Big Brother’ totalitarianism...”
I want to start a podcast called “Many People Don’t Know...” where I explain incredibly well known cultural reference points as though they’re some utterly recondite secret history I’ve just unearthed through diligent research.
“Millions eagerly await the final installment in the Force Awakens trilogy... but did you know there are EARLIER Star Wars films, some of which were released DECADES ago?”

Here’s my bet: This is very much like the less well known 214 bulk Internet metadata program. Changes in how we use tech mean it’s just not getting much of the info they care about anymore. wsj.com/articles/nsa-r…
The 214 bulk program was mothballed around the same time the major webmail providers went to HTTPS by default, meaning bulk collection at the backbone wouldn’t be picking up metadata in an intelligible form.
As more of us move to third-party apps like Signal & WhatsApp for both messaging and voice calls, bulk CDR will now exclude the majority of texts and calls for many users. At which point a CDR social map loses utility even for purposes of ruling out connections.

Trump lawsuit against Elijah Cummings to quash House Oversight Committee subpoena for financial records. Reads like a stall tactic to me; hard to see a court realistically finding this out of bounds. assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5973…
Or, at any rate, to the extent the subpoena needs to more clearly articulate a legislative purpose, it doesn’t seem like it would be terribly difficult for Cummings to cure the deficiency.
The complaint here draws heavily on precedents from the HUAC era, where the Committee sought to compel people to discuss their political beliefs & associations. The analogy seems a bit strained.

Little surprised the account of comms between Guccifer & Stone seems to accept that their interaction ended when their obviously insecure Twitter DMs did.
Stone was clearly extremely interested in, and actively seeking out, the very type of information Guccifer was offering. Stone clearly made it regular practice to use secure comms channels for sensitive conversations.
We know he wiped a lot of data from the period that’s the target of inquiry. “The conversation moved off Twitter” still seems a lot more likely than “Stone wasn’t even interested enough in the offer to bother responding.”

Eat, Pray, Britney #FreeBritney
@EatPrayBritney
In our 4th episode of Eat, Pray, Britney, we break down the allegations made by Britney’s Gram and look at Britney’s team’s attempt to take back the narrative: eatpraybritney.com/episode-4
The reports issued after the #FreeBritney movement started are *very* scattered, but they confirm the broad strokes of the allegations made in @BritneysGram’s latest episode. Let’s break down the sources, details, and conflicts within the reports.
The first response we get from Team Britney comes from The Blast. Here they confirm 1) that Britney did *not* check herself into the facility, it was done by her team: theblast.com/britney-spears…

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

docs.google.com/document/d/1_J…

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

Many people don't know that John McCain held onto the fake Russian dossier about Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign because he was sure that Hillary was going to win. The fake Russian dossier paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign was an insurance policy in (1)
case Donald Trump won. When he did, John McCain released it and conspired to bring President Trump down after the election. It was PROVEN FAKE and it led to a fake FISA Warrant to investigate members of the DT campaign. John McCain is NOT a hero, he is a TRAITOR!!!!

Also a “war hero” AKA John McCain, doesn’t finish 894th out of 899 and still get stationed at a Navy champagne unit and promoted ahead of all but two of his 898 other classmates.

The concepts of doing well by doing good, impact investment funds & the like substitute "generosity" for "justice". Justice often requires the powerful to lose something, to stop standing on someone's back. 1/x
Generosity in this context is like continuing to stand on someone's back while throwing them a bone. Generosity of this kind where the system doesn't change but scraps are thrown has become a very powerful idea. 2/x
