Daily Beast editorial meeting
Together we can wipe out the scourge of insolent forklift drivers, plumbers, and rodeo clowns
My 1A stance; to wit, FB/Twitter/YT etc have every right to host or ban whomever they want, for whatever reason. I also hold that the 1A protects not just "journalists," whatever tf that word means, but everybody, including people I don't like. /1

GM diff casting #3707306 = 1956 passenger car, but this is not a '56 chassis, so it is a replacement rear end
parallel leafs = not a Ford
rear lever shocks+tube front shocks = 1933-48ish but not Buick, Cad, Olds, LaSalle

/1
light frame rails, single center x-member = unlikely a truck
solid front axle, prewar = if GM, it's a Chevy
I'm gonna guess 1936-39 Chevy with a later rear axle swap (tho it could be a similar era Mopar, Studebaker, Willys). Sorry, I gave it my best. 2/2

If I were in "My Cousin Vinnie" I'd get all ready to grill Marisa Tomei on whether a 1963 Pontiac Tempest positrac IRS could be swapped into a '64 Skylark, or if the tire tracks could have been a '63-'67 Corvette, but then I'd be like, "mmm Marisa Tomei"

Let’s have a full-pictured chat about billionaire wealth.

Thread. 👇
We can’t pretend wealth inequality is “no big deal.” It’s actually a very big deal.

Ignoring growing wealth inequality always leads to social unrest. Always.

So we can’t just turn a blind eye to it, which is what the right often wants to do.
The left is the most vocal about the ultra-rich.

They are correct to be concerned that 26 people own half of the world’s wealth. This will create massive unrest, the longer it goes on.

In 1995, Jeff Bezos’ parents took a $250,000 gamble on his fledgling startup

One IPO and 3 splits later, his parents’ stake could be worth almost $30 billion today. That would make them wealthier than Microsoft Corp. co-founder Paul Allen

bloomberg.com/news/articles/… via @technology
[2] I am NOT saying #Bezos committed insider trading

But I AM saying that grandfather LP #Gise was a director at the AEC (Atomic Energy Commission) and key person to approve and fund ARPA , from which #ARPAnet evolved , and now #Amazon is the largest cloud provider on Earth
[3] Dont believe me? Search this for "Gise" (or LP Gise).

Good morning writers!

A lot of you are asking me how to send pitches to editors. So, I’m going to compose a thread combining some of the greatest tips talented editors like @ZachStafford, @1demerith and @freeblackgirl have given me.

I hope it helps!
This thread will also contain tips on locating editors on Twitter; most of them put their emails in their bios. I got this tip from @MikelleStreet. This tip has helped me get so many new jobs. (STAY TUNED)
1. Pitch in your lane.

Having an idea is great; controversial ideas are even better. However, if you’re not a trans person, should you be writing an essay on how trans people SHOULD feel about transphobia? No. You shouldn’t.

Pitch about your own experiences. You have plenty.

#Thai authorities confirm that #ThailandCaveRescue operation to save #Thaiboys has begun. 18 divers entered the cave complex. Speculation 4-6 boys will be rescued first but, it’s important to remember that authorities have not confirmed this. #ThamLuang smh.com.au/world/asia/liv…
Latest statement from Chiang Rai Gov. on #ThailandCaveRescue Rescue operation was started at around 10:00 PM. (Thai local time) Hopefully the kids will be brought out one by one. We'll get the updated info later after 9:00 PM. #ThamLuang #Thamluangcave #Thailandcave #Thailand
It’ll take at least 12 hours with 18 officials to help every way possible. Expected time for the first boy to come out is at least 9 pm today. #ถ้ำหลวง #13ชีวิตรอดเเล้ว #ThailandCaveRescue #ThamLuang

no one leaves home unless home chases you
fire under feet
hot blood in your belly
it’s not something you ever thought of doing
until the blade burnt threats into
your neck
and even then you carried the anthem under
your breath

#home #warsanshire #poems
#WhereAreTheChildren
only tearing up your passport in an airport toilets
sobbing as each mouthful of paper
made it clear that you wouldn’t be going back.

you have to understand,
that no one puts their children in a boat
unless the water is safer than the land
no one burns their palms
under trains
beneath carriages
no one spends days and nights in the stomach of a truck
feeding on newspaper unless the miles travelled
means something more than journey.
no one crawls under fences
no one wants to be beaten
pitied

(1) Quick thread about the 2018 National Guard border deployment. It takes literally 15 minutes to find, read & watch enough info about the 2006 #OperationJumpStart mission for anyone to understand the good it will do. Watch this 2 min video:

(2) Guardsmen & women throughout the country are offered the opportunity to volunteer for this mission. (I imagine any Governors unwilling to co-operate are gonna have a bad time). It's great for the country but it's also great for the volunteers.
(3) Members of the National Guard come from all walks of life & have all kinds of personal circumstances. Most will serve anywhere, anytime even if that's at particularly high cost, like being in Iraq for 16 months while your only child goes through infancy & toddlerhood.
