1/ Speaking of James Burke "Connections"

Last night we took our kids thru 5 steps forward + back in time

from Nina Simone "Sinnerman" to @IAmKRSOne in 5 steps
(threading thru Thomas Crown Affair and Mos Def)

*STEP 1: Nina Simone "Sinnerman"...
2/ Which connects to one of the greatest heist scenes ever—Thomas Crown Affair...
3/ Which is a clever kinetic play on the static Magritte "The Son of Man"...
4/ Back to Sinnerman + Thomas Crown...the same piano is sampled in Talking Kweli "Get By"...
5/ and from Talib Kweli solo to duo Blackstar with Brooklyn's own Mos Def in "Definition"...
6/ Who took their BDP homage hook and beats of "1,2,3 Mos Def and Taleb Kweli"...directly from KRS-One @IAmKRSOne in BDP "Stop the Violence"...

Y-O.
QED.

1/ One highlight of recent global trip with USSOCOM Special Forces was Gen Braga—a scholarly warrior, fiercely erudite, in 60 seconds could take you through regional geopolitical consequences, historical considerations, technological advantage.

Before heading up the Pacific...
2/ Before heading the Pacific Gen Braga helped lead surge and coalition forces to drive ISIS out of key Syrian cities...
3/ And also was rare US official to publicly confirm intel of secret Russian mercenaries operatives on the ground in Syria who then faced warning and combat from US troops

Last night I took a @lyft home from my friends bachelorette. It was a line, so there were two people in the back seat when I got in. Once they were dropped off, the driver immediately leaned over to me and asks “do you have a boyfriend?”. I paused, and didn’t respond.
He asks again, “come on do you have a boyfriend?” I said yes. He continued to ask me questions about what he did, and what I did. Then he asks, “is your boyfriend in town?” I didn’t respond. He asks again. I don’t respond. He pulls up on my street and starts to drive very slowly
He looks at me and asks “is your boyfriend home?” I immediately realized the doors were locked and I said “please unlock the doors.” He didn’t. So I pried the lock up, jumped out of the car, and ran to my apartment.

1.)Has anyone here ever heard of Arthur Andersen vs. United States?

Get familiar with it! @GenFlynn, @PaulManafort, @GeorgePapa19, #RogerStone, #RickGates @MichaelCohen212 & others should really know who is pulling the strings in the Mueller investigation
supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/…
2.)The Supreme Court issued a quick, unanimous and concise defeat to the Government overturning the accounting company’s conviction for obstruction of justice. The Chief Justice’s opinion for the Court was issued less than five weeks later.😏 scotusblog.com/2005/05/decisi…
3.) On @marklevinshow Life, Liberty & Levin last night he interviews @SidneyPowell1 on her book License to Lie & the Enron/ Andersen case as it pertains to events happening today as well as the main characters & their unethical prosecution of innocent people.

James Comey dream last night
He wasn’t doing very well in a huge courtroom
Judge sat way up high in this courtroom
He was defeated, frail, sick, and shuffling back and forth
Knowing how wrong he has been
People filled the courtroom
I was there watching
There were young girls there
One in particular
She turned to me and declared
Comey a pedophile
I sensed it was the same girl that called Comey out
For he allowed the sexting with Anthony Weiner to continue
He had a panel of attorneys
He wasn’t doing well
Very pale frail

Myth AU

A night of celebration in the celestial realm palace, a demon disguises himself as an angel to get inside, not for blood but out of pure curiosity. But then at the stroke of midnight, while trying to leave, an angel strikes him down and brutally rips off his wings.

The linen cloak hides him from the cold air that surrounds the morning mist around the marketplace. It was still quiet, not alot of people were out, only a few. And hopefully he finds something he was looking for.

Apples and nothing else.

it was the season for apples

Last night we took a look at the Twitter dataset from suspended Kremlin troll accounts archived & posted by #NBC & look at the frequency of tweets discussing specific US states & display by swing states in 2016 election #Mueller Internet Research Agency nbcnews.com/tech/social-me…
As you can see there was a pretty clear grouping of purple states. This was an initial quick and dirty analysis and it doesn't take into account that bigger states would of course likely have a higher # of random tweets about them.
So in this next graph we normalized the # of tweets mentioning each state to the states electoral number thus normalizing the tweet frequency to the weight or importance of the state in the 2016 elections. Again a good grouping of purple states. #mueller Internet Research Agency
