Being entitled to an opinion doesn’t make it asinine. So the next person with a cockamamie theory on how Don Jr. being subpoenaed is a ruse, I’m going to virtually strangle —even if it’s a ToS violation. All others will be blocked. Plenty of GOP stupidity. Dems don’t a Q chapter.
Burr is a bad actor, a schmuck. He’s been on my complicit list since 2016.

But the GOP message — from trump to McConnell to Graham to House Judiciary Rs — is simple: Case Closed.

Subpoenaing Don Jr. —no matter what comes of it— couldn’t be more at odds.
Thank you for those who flagged that Burr isn’t running for re-election in 2022. I missed that.

“It is time to break up Facebook,” writes one of its founders (not that founder). nytimes.com/2019/05/09/opi…
This oped, from one of Facebook’s co-founders, is scathing.

“Mark is a good, kind person. But I’m angry that his focus on growth led him to sacrifice security and civility for clicks.”

“I’m disappointed in myself and the early Facebook team for not thinking more about how the News Feed algorithm could change our culture, influence elections and empower nationalist leaders.”

What if...

Cersei’s defeated. Neither Daenerys nor Aegon (aka Jon) Targaryen take the throne.

Arya’s carrying Gendry’s child, direct descendant of King Robert, linking Houses Baratheon & Stark (the Sansa marrying Joffrey plan).

1st of its Name

Rightful heir to the Iron Throne
Now, if Dani’s carrying Jon’s child (remember the foreshadowing at the end of Season 7 when they discussed her inability to beat children and Jon pointed out she was relying on the word of a vengeful witch), THEIR child would have Targaryen & Stark bloodlines.
ALSO, don’t forget Dani’s mother, Jon’s mother, and Cersei/Jamie/Tyrion’s mother died during childbirth. Dani & Jon during their own; Mrs. Lannister giving birth to Tyrion.

Can’t remember where I was going with this.

@RadioFreeTom expertise is not dead here at Club Acela in Penn Station...
Tom “It’s all in the Buzzer” Nichols they called him in his day.
@RadioFreeTom — one of the most engaging people on Twitter — refuses to engage me as I highlight an accomplishment very few others have achieved.

So I’m going to go for the Daily Double.

Next ethics track talk is @IndraJoshi10 on AI/ML/Big Data ethics. She's the clinical health lead for digital health at NHS England! #qconlondon
@IndraJoshi10 What does being the "clinical lead for AI" mean?

She's an A&E doctor in London. She had medical ethics classes in school but none of the students saw the need and skipped the classes...

but when the complaints come in to triage... maybe you should have listened #qconlondon
There's loads of software being written to address applying data using AI. "We can definitely get rid of doctors in 10 years..." is not a good VC pitch to make.

The government wants to set up skills development, but also rules around AI and ethics. #qconlondon

Hundreds of letters are received each day by national newspapers, but only a handful are ever published.

On the issue of climate change and energy, one letter-writer in particular has had a lot of success over the past decade.

As such, he warrants a closer look...

++THREAD++
In today's edition of The Times, there is a letter on fracking by someone called "James Allan", who describes himself as a "Fellow, Energy Institute, Hartlepool"
...this is just the latest in dozens of letters by James Allan published across various newspapers. Invariably, they make very similar points, which can largely be summarised as pro-fossil fuels, anti-renewables, anti-climate policy and, at times, explicitly climate sceptic

Make no bones about it - there are many days I just don't feel like eating right and going to the gym.

Even us "pros" fall privy to the same traps that normal people fall to.

That being said, I want to share with you a simple re-framing tip I use regularly to get off my ass.
Whenever my mind starts playing tricks on me and saying things like:

"You've trained 3 days this week already, your body needs a break."

or

"One day won't matter, you've been doing this for years and years."

I always start to think about our present society.
For literally hundreds of years, as our civilization and technological advancements have grown, we have become more sedentary as a side effect.

The intentions were noble and good - to provide us with more comparative ease and comforts than the previous generation.
