Jesus. It's been a year since I told you about my worst ever workday. Which, eventually led to enough writing work that I quit my job and begin writing full time. It's not an exaggeration to say it completely transformed my life, so thanks be to Ketamine, Mary, and you all. xx
I will say there’s something very nice about being able to credit practically every good exciting thing in your professional career to this one very stupid thing. That I might not have posted. That might have sunk without trace. I can't take it for granted. It's liberating.
Also, and I know it is a horrific teasing kind of a thing to do, but anyone who might like the idea of a star-studded visual treatment for this story might wanna WATCH THIS SPACE for v exciting news ok thank you please no follow up questions at this time
Also, if any of you are thinking I'm above or beyond writing something for YOU for money, you'd be dead wrong, and I'd invite you to slide into my DMs any time. In case you're worried, I no longer take cat tranqs at work, btw, I've knocked it on the head, ask anybody

In case you missed the print version of this story, I'm hyping it again cos it's now online and was so much fun to do. I take @mattymatheson around my favourite Dublin food spots, including a financially ruinous horse and trap ride through the Liberties.

If the BBC actually make Ted Hastings, my screen dad, a wrongun, then mark my words I will start watching ITV dramas
When I say Adrian Dunbar is my screen dad, I mean he is so like a caricature of my actual dad that my entire family refers to his character as Daddy when he's on screen.
Shout out once again to Line of Duty for giving guys like my dad - slightly cranky, large nosed, blond men from Fermanagh - some representation in the media.

1) Portland, OR, has a problem with hate crimes in its greater metropolitan area. But to hear the New York Post’s @MrAndyNgo tell it, their real problem is people faking hate crimes. Thread follows.

nypost.com/2019/03/30/ins…
2) I’ve been writing about hate crimes since the 1980s, including a book published in 2004 about a notorious incident in Ocean Shores, WA. I also tracked them as part of my work for the SPLC, 2013-2018.

3) Ngo’s methodology for tracking down these potential fake hate crimes is, shall we say, unusual: The primary evidence he presents that the incidents might be faked is that the people involved refused to speak or correspond with him.

This Day in Labor History: December 14, 1945. The Employment Act of 1946 is introduced in Congress. Let's talk about the need for full employment policy and why it has never happened, a very important issue for the present!
World War II ended the Great Depression. But policymakers knew that the war would end and they didn’t know what would happen to the economy. There was disagreement over the extent to which the underlying factors that led to the Depression had dissipated.
Many economists believed that the Great Depression was the natural state of a mature economy and would return without significant government intervention. This was a serious concern as the war ended, with widespread fears of a massive economic downturn.

I promised someone I'd self-dox and tell my "how I got from x to infosec" story. I was not "a natural," I excelled in biochem, music and literature; when I said I wanted to be in this field, I had hardly any ground to stand on. This is a thread about being stubborn. 1/n
While my careers have changed a lot, my motivation has not. At 18 I started college enrolled as a biochem major. I wanted to help people. Young me liked formulas, and had aspirations of medical research. But with no familial support, I quickly hit a wall. 2/n
Resume at 18: medical credentialing, bilingual translation (I wasn't good), manager of an ice cream shop, seasonal work at a theme park as an actress.
Working full time + labs was proving impossible. Until it was quit day job or quit biochem. A catch 22 - jobs=$ for classes. 3/n

Paul Manafort, American Hustler theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
"Rick Gates, once boasted to a group of Washington lobbyists, “You have to understand, we’ve been working in Ukraine a long time, and Paul has a whole separate shadow government structure … In every ministry, he has a guy.” OH REALLY.
"The power had helped fill Manafort’s bank accounts; according to his recent indictment, he had tens of millions of dollars stashed in havens like Cyprus and the Grenadines."
