I reread “J’accuse” yesterday. What an astonishing document. What deep resonance it has for our time.
It made me think about a lot of things, not least being this exceptional piece by @anneapplebaum:

The question is: Who is the Alfred Dreyfus of our time?

The answer: Some indistinct hybrid of a child separated from her parents and Peter Strzok or Lisa Page.

It is partly the indistinct nature of today’s Dreyfus that prevents us fully understanding our situation.

This case was a very big deal. It is amazing that our future DNI appears to be lying about his role in it:

I admire this woman very deeply--even more so now than before.

It is a blot on our society that we need people like @cagoldberglaw. But we do--so very very much.
She also has the distinction of being the only person in the world to have a run-in with TSA after taking a selfie with #BabyCannon.

Three hours from this tweet, @OpenAI's DOTA 2 bots will be taking part in what OAI are calling their "final" live game. I'll be tweeting about the game in this thread, aimed at non-DOTA players.

📺 Livestream: twitch.tv/openai
🤫 Hashtag to mute: #OAI
@OpenAI Last year the bots played live on stage at The International, and lost to two human teams. Here's a thread I wrote during their first game, which was played against the professional team paiN Gaming:
@OpenAI And here's a thread I wrote about their second game, which they played against a team of ex-professional "old boys". The overall skill/experience level here was arguably higher than paiN's, and the strategy employed by the humans is slightly different:

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

A thread of #JenReadsRitas books, bc that's a thing I'm going to do.
Just yesterday I read THE LAST WOLF by Maria Vale. It's so strong. I bought the 2nd book on spec last week, and now I'm so glad I have it ready to go.

amzn.to/2YghUC3
It's honestly so fresh for a book about wolves. Silver, our heroines is a wolf who has never been offland--she's way more comfortable as a wolf than in "skins." The hero, Tiberius, is a shifter who will be killed if she doesn't help him.

Really interesting world-building.

the police civilian review board meeting hasn’t started yet, but nearly everyone here in the audience is a cop. way more than usual. weird vibe.
meeting is finally underway, a bit late. first up, public comment.
walt says he was really disappointed to read about the last meeting. (i missed it, but it was a hot one! the attorney for the police union got into a verbal altercation with a board member)
dailyprogress.com/news/local/cit…
walt thanks the board for their work & says the pushback they’re getting from the southern states police benevolent association means they’re doing their job right.

Jimin wouldn’t allow himself to be trapped on his shift for any longer than necessary.

“Go, go,” Taehyung hurried, taking Jimin’s apron to let him slip out from behind the counter more quickly. Jimin decided he could get the grounds out from under his nails at home.
This morning had been absolute hell. Two girls ordered seven drinks, Jimin made them all only for them to say they were supposed to be with almond milk.

‘Oh I’m so sorry,’ was he all he had legally been allowed to say at the time, while his mind had far more colorful ideas.
With Jimin officially clocked out, he slumped on the customer side of the now empty service counter, looking to his friend with tired eyes.

“You wanna grab dinner later?”
“I can’t, remem—?
“Ah, right...”

Jimin’s disappointment vanished as Taehyung suddenly smiled to himself.

Starting my #ATLvsDET tweet recap. Follow this #thread for all the latest and greatest takes.
Andre Roberts didn't bring out the kick this time. In both of the last two games he attempted to return the opening kickoff.
Falcons offense was methodical on the first drive. They're just slightly off on the deep shots, but once they get those figured out...scary
