What the hell do you mean "nobody"? I'm all over that fancy shit. "Did y'all know most scenes are made up of different shots and cut together in some room? It's crazy. Anyway, to present the figurine for best editing and whatnot, here's Meryl Streep and Sinbad."
"Did y'all know every year hundreds of people die? It's crazy. Anyway, now we'll play a sad as hell song and watch a montage of people who died, starting with the least important and workin' our way up from there."
"This next song ain't from any of the movies but I just wanted to hear this shit. Here's Boyz II Men and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir singin' I'll Make Love to You."

Escalating disputes between China and the United States could significantly weaken sentiment in business and financial markets, disrupt global supply chains and create an economic drag this year, the International Monetary Fund warned on Friday. @IMFNews #trade
The IMF research, citing official data, found that the revenue collected by the US government through hefty tariffs on Chinese imports, has been paid almost entirely by US importers. cards.twitter.com/cards/18ce54pl…
"Some of these tariffs have been passed on to US consumers, such as those on washing machines, while others have been absorbed by importing firms through lower profit margins," the research said. #trade @IMFNews cards.twitter.com/cards/18ce54pl…

Shout out to all the parents going back to school this year. The parents writing papers after washing bottles, the parents highlighting the reading with your kid asleep in your lap, the parents whose work desk is also a kitchen table with spaghetti noodles scattered across it.
Whether it’s high school, GED, college, bachelor’s, master’s, or doctorate being a parent & going *back* to school is one of the toughest balancing acts out there.

So much respect to the folks who do it, especially single parents. Your kids are lucky to watch your persistence.
So often parents go back to school not only to pursue their own dreams but to make the lives of their children better—to achieve the sort of economic mobility that’s going to give them a different life.

It’s an enormous sacrifice & one of the most radical acts of love there is.

1. A thread on #trade and aid.

One of the first tangible benefits of #Brexit I've seen is the emerging reform of @DFID_UK where it is becoming more of an arm of trade policy than a state owned humanitarian NGO. I would like that to go much further and rethink trade.
2. I do not think we should be wasting too much effort on free trade deals largely because they are of questionable value and encourage inefficient value chains. Any work on tariffs should really be reserved for multilateral activity.
3. Instead we need DfID as the spearhead of our trade policy. There is no reason why we cannot pursue humanitarian goals and enhance our trade while we are at it. For a start we can do a lot with medicines and pharmacy products.
