Hello, internet! I am going to take a day or so off of Twitter after two emotional, almost back-to-back trips during which I contracted a respiratory illness that I think I'm still fighting.
I had meant to spend yesterday resting and reflecting, but as my first day back I wound up being more scattered than that.
Anyway. Now that I don't have as many demands on my time or possibility of monthly/emergency travel, I'm charting a course for my future in the near and medium term.
Looking at things like getting more of an ongoing gig going as a more predictable source of income vs. traveling more for business and personal development, and also things like how much creative writing vs. how much commentary/explainers.
If you would like to support me in this time (and/or vote with your wallet for me to continue to focus more of my time on my public mission on Twitter), please feel free.

So... people are tweeting @USBank in protest of the US Bank Arena hosting a Trump rally, closing their accounts, etc.

Small wrinkle: US Bank doesn't own or operate the arena. They just paid to have their name on it.

But I am nonetheless fascinated to see where this goes.
I think, honestly, that the corporate entity that paid $$$ to have its "good name" on the venue is more likely to object than the more anonymous entity that owns or operates it.
We are waaaaaay overdue for conversations about how we sell the naming rights for venues that are often built mainly with public money anyway.

NYT:

"President Skating On Pretty Thin Ice, Buster.

In a series of racially infused tweets, President Trump verged close to making us count to three, or so help us.

Some said the tweets 'were [messing with the bull]' and called on the GOP to '[give] the remarks [the horns].'"
I know it takes a village to frame an article, but there are many cases where of Legal and Editorial and the big bosses won't let you say what you're trying to say... you should scrap it and take a different tack. Your preferred message watered down is worse than your second pick
If they won't let you say "racist", they can't make you fall on ridiculous euphemisms that make a powerful white nationalist sound like a neighborhood scamp.

Thinking about trying essentially a Twitterthon to try to rebuild my budget/savings after all the hoopla of the past few months.

I know I will be doing just fine before too long, but I'll get there faster if I can lose some money stress while I'm revving back up to speed.
When I'm making decent money on here, the fact that I'm less worried about groceries or the next broken appliance or serious emergency helps me keep doing my best work, and so I make more money.
But when something disrupts that flow... stress goes up, confidence goes down, I wind up doing more side hustling just to make ends meet. Everything spirals.

1) "Today marks the one-year anniversary of the opening of the United States Embassy in Jerusalem, Israel....a proud reminder of our strong relationship with Israel and of the importance of keeping a promise and standing for the truth."

3) "Stand" - repeated twice
"O" - used repetitively - "one" is spelled out; "our"; "of"; "opening"
"And" - repeated twice
"The Truth" - why is that relevant here?

1/
Judge: Mr. Avenatti this Court will be appointing counsel for you.

Avenatti: Who?

The instrumental theme of @LRCkcrw ATPL plays louder and louder

Judge: I’ll appoint Ken White

Avenatti: But he’s a nobody! Everybody calls me and tells me so!
2/
Meanwhile somewhere in the greater LA, @Popehat is giddy in anticipation of the funnel cake he is about to order from the food truck.
Suddenly, Ken is struck by a sharp, stabbing pain behind his ey that will not relent causing him to return to his office without funnel cake.
3/ As our hero returns to his office to sit in the dark. He is informed that he has a call.

Judge: Ken, I have appointed you as counsel for Mr. Avenatti.

@Popehat: But your honor, that’s not a good—

Judge: I DONT CARE! ITS YOUR TURN!

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...

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...

Good morning. We are in a packed (busiest I’ve seen it) court 26 for the recusal hearing. The Post Office wants the judge removed from Bates v Post Office litigation. There was a CWU demo outside court. It’s all going off. Follow this thread for live tweets.

hi! digitization/IR librarian/archivist types! how have you dealt with arbitrary take down "request" (more like order) that go against best practice from uni admin? as in something like "all existence must be erased from the IR because we say so" & the reason is... not copyright.
i am keeping this extremely vague in public b/c i don't want to be identified publicly for raising a fuss b/c i don't want to be out of a job but this is really messing with me because the decision is... it's not even a best practice thing, it's... morally and ethically wrong.
this is really messing with me. i'm not the only one here mad/upset but we have no recourse here or room to protest, it's coming directly from the uni's president.
