The @QueryNews experiment went ~way~ better than expected

So we’re creating a diverse team of part-time editors to run the site!

Details and application below 👇

For more context on what The Query is: query.news/s/we-launched-…
More detail on the role:
Here’s how I’m theorizing this could ~maybe~ just work

There should be a debate format where the entire 2 hours is focused on a single issue (e.g. healthcare).

Honestly this would educate the electorate and go beyond platitudes more than any other media coverage could.
Also the candidates should be allowed a laptop, with a line to their staff doing research in real time.

I want the best of their thinking!
There would be so much more real back-and-forth on policy if the debate was structured this way. Can’t retreat to pre-rehearsed talking points in a 2h debate on one topic

I gotta say, working on @QueryNews, and reading the news 100x more deeply, is radicalizing me.
I'm not being radicalized in the sense that I'm for more extreme policies.

I'm being radicalized in the sense that I'm extremely, deeply motivated to change the policies we have to something non-horrible.
I can hear my old self saying "but the news is made to spark outrage for pageviews! don't fall for it!"

But I'm doing more work than ever to learn the actual details of what is going on, rather than skimming the surface as before, and it's making me incredibly angry.

Microsoft banned Slack.
Is this typical?
Update: apparently the original @geekwire story is misleading.

1) The ban happened awhile back but the headline makes it seem as if it just happened
geekwire.com/2019/no-slack-…
2) LinkedIn (owned by Microsoft) and potentially other parts of the company actively use the enterprise version of Slack, which is not banned

Ok now, for real, here is the Democrat debate clown show. No propping up Elizabeth Warren tonight. Tonight is all about destroying Biden and Bernie while propping up Kamala Harris. It's going to be awful.
The woman commentating said that it is hard to go "toe to toe with a woman like Elizabeth Warren" LOL oh my goodness these left wing maniacs have literally no clue what is reality and not. Elizabeth Warren is even WORSE than Hillary Clinton. They are all in for her lol.
My favorite part of Lester Holt being at both nights of the Democrat debates is the fact that literally nobody brought up the fake news nonsense claiming President Trump told Lester Holt he fired Comey because of Russia. That's how dead the fake Russia nonsense is. Enjoy!

Today's beach painting this morning went WAY better than yesterday's. Here's the story involving bird shit, $17 USD, a broken drone, and giving paintings away.
As you all know yesterday a bird shit on my hand while I was painting:



My camera ran out of battery, I didn't bring enough yellow, I couldn't figure out the damn drawing to save my life, and after the bird shit I just went home.
I felt unsatisfied with that, and I'm *trying* to do one tiny little 6x8 painting a day on these super cheap little carboard panels I bought. Each one is like $0.50 so I bought a box of 360 of them and I use this dinky tiny light as hell easel making this very simple.

U.S. employers added 155k jobs in November, the 98th straight month of growth. The unemployment rate held at 3.7%, a multi-decade low. #jobsday
nytimes.com/2018/12/07/bus…
Average earnings up 6 cents/hour, 3.1% over the past year. That's the same year-over-year rate as last month, when wage growth was supposedly artificially inflated by hurricane effects.
October's strong number was revised down a bit, but September up very slightly. Net downward revision of 12k.

In #reality there is no such things like Great Team, Great Organization, Great Nations. They only exist in our mind, it is only a consequence.

Only Great #Individuals exists and when they come together, #Team, #Organization and #Nation happen which are extraordinary.
All your efforts to change the consequences (Team, Organization, Nation) directly will be arduous and over exaggerated and in the end it will bring misery to all individuals who participated in the journey
All efforts must go be invested in #Individuals

There are only two ways in which investment will be fruitful
1. Invest in Individual's uniqueness and skills
2. Invest in Individual's consciousness

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.
