make sure you get to the terrible terrible end
Hate-watching The Newsroom was actually a pretty fun time, in the Before
I am currently rewatching West Wing. (Long story) Even its worst moments are better than any moment in The Newsroom, which is slower, horrifically slow, chews WAY more scenery, and hello, only the control room would be that dark.

.@lizaramrayka talked me into seeing Elton John tonight and I was pretty excited and then I read the @maggieNYT story about Trump being a mega fan/obsessed with topping EJ’s crowd size and you know what I am still pretty excited.
Really hope he plays “Madman Across the Water”

Corporate America demanding GOP do something about gun violence is promising—though should be backed by threat—and is thanks to work of @MomsDemand and other activist pressure. nytimes.com/2019/09/12/bus…
“Missing from the list, however, are some of America’s biggest financial and technology companies, including Apple, Facebook, Google, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo, some of which debated internally whether to sign the letter.”

If you work at these companies, demand action.
This push, from @BetoORourke and @andrewrsorkin and others is why the banks are nervous to make statements, I'd gander.

As one who spent 9/12 participating in a mass effort to buy supplies for 1st responders and ferry them down to Ground Zero checkpoints this is bullshit

@realDonaldTrump can't produce anyone who can testify to his doing anything, except bragging he now had tallest building in NYC
@realDonaldTrump What Trump is doing should rightfully be called a version of stolen valor.
@realDonaldTrump It's not like it was possible to get through those checkpoints unless you were a first responder or some members of the press.

Even if Trump had, he'd have made damn sure everyone knew at the time.

Besides, he's clearly a coward. And squeamish. This was not the place for that

(Long thread message received from a Kashmir woman on present situation there) #Kashmir #India
On the surface, things look OK. You'll see traffic plying on the roads, weddings happening on small scales, big general stores operating with the shutters down and back gates open,
small kirana shops opening up early morning and late evening, pharmacies around hospitals open for most part of the day, inter District transport available and food and essentials available on push carts. But, you just need to scratch the surface a little to see how this is just
a volcano waiting to erupt.
People are beyond angry. Incidents of stone pelting have occurred all over the place. Especially in the first few days. However, they've been crushed with brute force. ANYONE at all trying to speak up or organise in any manner has been arrested. In a

Why one should invest in what suits their true risk appetite? #story
Generally my father in law does not introduce me to his friends for investment guidance. 1. Because generally I am extremely blunt when it comes to investment guidance 2. I only mostly explain #risks involved
But I think his friend really forced him so he finally introduced me to this gentleman who retired from government service, has good pension and also has a frugal life style so has lot of money saved. He wanted to invest his just matured FD into a MF because FD rates were low.
After few minutes of talking to him I realised he had never invested any money in #stocks #mfs or any equity instruments ever. As I continued I realised that he wanted to invest this money for a long term and wanted the wealth generated to be transferred to his son.

Dear @DrJoeAbah ,

On 27th July 2017, I visited you at your office in BPSR and spent about 90 uninterrupted minutes with you. You shared a couple of things with me about public service and the cost of being a reform minded public office holder. /1
You shared how you’ve been bullied by the different arms of government you had to relate with in the course of carrying out your service to the nation.

You shared your challenges and your victories!/2
You shared how you declined being part of the government’s campaign entourage during the 2015 elections, even when the team was visiting your home state.

How you stood your ground when asked to defend a budget you never prepared to the NASS! And how you were penalized for it.

It was mid July in the 90's in Warri , a pregnant goat wanted to give birth to her kids and it was raining silly ... a Thread
So she ran into the kitchen of a woman . Now take note we grew up in public compounds where the kitchens are usually built with zinc or and 2x2 planks outside the house which were mainly room and parlor ...
Either that or you enlist a carpenter to make a big wooden box 📦 with a lock that u place just by the entrance of ur dormort as entrances where known as back then

I am so glad and proud that you started this conversation! I have SO MANY points! Firstly GHANTA MUMBAI SPIRIT which is nothing but the fight for survival, to get food on the table, to make ends meet! Your fuckall spirit is what the BMC/Govt cashes on for their incompetencies
Whether its the yearly monsoon floods, or collapsing of bridges, lack of proper infrastructure, potholes on every fucking road, to people traveling worse than cattle public transportation especially trains. I have lived here 14 years & absolutely nothing has improved
We should've learnt our lesson in 2005 floods, the BMC should've worked on the drainage system so as to prevent such a calamity again. But now its a running joke all over India that Mumbai is flooded every monsoon. It's so normal that no one gives a fuck anymore, esp the govt

Time for a quick thread on how to write #loglines! THREAD 👇
What's a logline?–It's an approx. 25-35 word pitch for a screenplay. Note the specific choice of the word "pitch": the job of a logline isn't to summarize your story, it's to sell it. That's an important distinction.
Who else needs to know how to write loglines?–Novelists who want to participate in various pitching events on Twitter but don't know where to start might want to look at loglines. They're a pretty good model to start from for writing a Twitter pitch for a book.
