I will always watch #championsleaguefinal, regardless of who’s playing. Happy to be watching in an open-air #Italian cafe where we are 50/50 wo/men and good to see ads supporting national squad for @WorldCup_Womens this summer #LIVTOT
I will always watch #championsleaguefinal, regardless of who’s playing. Happy to be watching in an open-air #Italian cafe where we are 50/50 wo/men and good to see ads supporting national squad for @FIFAWWC this summer #LIVTOT (reposting with correct FIFA WWC handle)
I will of course be live tweeting matches during the @FIFAWWC this summer. And my thoughts will go into my forthcoming Feminism, Football, Fucking: A Memoir
For a taste of that writing, and as you wait for this #championsleaguefinal to wake up, read my latest essay in which I write about feminism, anarchism, the men’s 2014 World Cup and power nytimes.com/2019/05/28/opi…

#Sudan: “The death toll from the crackdown on a pro-democracy camp has reached +100, with +40 bodies pulled from the Nile, medical groups associated w/demonstrators have said. Internet access has since been cut, restricting protesters from communicating..” theguardian.com/world/video/20…

Patriarchy is global and quotidian.

No country in the world is on track to achieve gender equality by 2030, according to the first index to measure progress against a set of internationally agreed targets. theguardian.com/global-develop… h/t @FeministChina
There are three global regions where no countries receive a good score for gender equality
“I don’t see how naturally these problems will go away. Even among the best scoring countries there are still massive problems.”

Very sad to hear that author Binyavanga Wainaina has died. I am honoured to have met him, broken bread with him, and shared much laughter with so many mutual friends. Rest in power, Binj. L: With @aleksandarhemon Paris 2015. R: NYC 2017 with many friends after Pen World Voices
Rest in power, rest well, dear Binj. What a delight to have known you, too briefly.

I will forever treasure these with dear Binyavanga Wainaina that @rerutled took in NYC during 2017 PEN World Voices Festival. With beloved sister @maazamengiste, with Maaza & Helon Habila, and when we all went to Katz’s for pastrami. Rest in power, Binj. #RIPBinyavangaWainaina

Inside the partnership of VICE and Philip Morris International. Three years and millions of dollars.
~~THREAD TIME~~

2/ Earlier today, @FT reported part of the story. Initially I was bummed... but then again it's nice to have the someone else report some high-level, legally risky details. (I heard PMI / VICE deal was "nine figures," FT reports £5m) ft.com/content/9015a5…
3/ There are so many crazy details and rabbit holes to look into when writing about Philip Morris. Going in I knew cigarette companies were shady and they kill people but somehow it was so much worse.

But you're hear to know why @VICE would partner with Big Tobacco...

Good Morning! 🍸
This is your official mob-translation thread for Cohen's hearing.
We'll have some old tweets & articles for context, some bouncing around to other accounts - bringing you solid & funny takes, & some mafia ghosts as special commentators. /1
2/ Let's kick today off with two things:
Thing 1. The tweet that got Michael Cohen to block me recently - within seconds.
Now, why would he even be paying attention to this account, so as to see & block so quickly? That's Thing 2, in the next tweet.
3/ Maybe because I got the attention of his childhood friend & the mind behind the Moscow Tower deal, Felix Sater? Felix is/was actually very adept at navigating deals in Russia. He was kind enough to answer some of my questions about one (Regency is a familiar name, no?).
Boop!

Given the astonishing revelation at the Chapo trial yesterday that the kingpin's wife, Emma Coronel, was deeply involved in planning his famous 2015 tunnel-and-motorcycle escape from prison, the severe conditions of his pre-trial confinement are starting to make more sense,
Among the restrictions was that Emma was not allowed to visit him in the Manhattan federal jail where he was held since his extradition in Jan 2017. The judge even denied a request to let the couple hug each other before the trial began. We now know why those limits were imposed.
According to yesterday's witness, Damaso Lopez Nunez, Emma was the chief intermediary between her husband and his closest crew on the outside, ferrying his orders to them to execute the escape plan.

#National Security & The #BokoHaram Insurgency: On The Most Pressing Challenges Currently Facing The @HQNigerianArmy's Operations
@HQNigerianArmy 1. None to the exclusion of the other, the operations are as intensely dogged by issues which stem from the human factor ( MANPOWER) as they are majorly constrained by issues of logistics and ewuipment (MATERIEL)
@HQNigerianArmy We shall xray the storied human factor subsequently but let us begin from the area of materiel where we shall be making some revelations that are as in-depth as they are unprecedented...never been broached with such specificty

the problem with Savannah “Sav” Soutas and Cole Labrant: a thread
so honestly there’s a billion small reasons to dislike these people. they consistently act holier than thou while being a bunch of hypocritical, orange county, beverly hillbilly idiots
savannah soutas basically spent her life with a crazy ass stage mom who forced her into modeling and being “picture perfect” so it’s not surprising she got pregnant young with her boyfriend of three months 🤷‍♀️
