Journalism is starving of resources and yet PR agencies are so flush that they can pay people to reach out to me twice a day for weeks w/r/t a product that 5 seconds of research would tell them we'd never use or cover.
"I’ll tell you what, I’ll circle back in about a month or so."

Actually please take my failure to respond to your slew of emails as it was intended.
And who would ever think that the best person to reach out to regarding product or service is the editor in chief? I don't reward laziness. And I have nothing to reward you with!

My friend's 2-yo is currently in surgery for a big, rare, scary tumor. Whatever kind of positive energy you can put into the world today on his behalf is appreciated.
For example, if you're in the DC area and have type O blood, I believe @WajahatAli's family is still searching for a liver donor for his daughter. And if you don't fit that profile, maybe there's another donation to make:
@WajahatAli In little Charlie's honor, let's raise some money for low-income kids in his state, starting with some science projects. This one needs about $600 more: donorschoose.org/project/basic-…

Not discussed enough: the insane idea that @SFBART has that a different colored stripe across the top wall of the downtown stations is the best way for riders to ID which station they are at.
I mean a stencil and some spray paint could make this whole problem go away @BevanDufty
Also the colors themselves are confusing. What do they indicate? I imagine visitors puzzling over the red/yellow/blue/green maps are really thrown off. “Plum??? Am I on the right train?”

This entire chain of events is Twitter in a nutshell
Anyway, the fact that Corn Pop was real and something like this tale maybe happened doesn't make Biden's retelling uncringey and also just like, dude, provide context for a modern audience on things like Esther Williams.
I mean the only reason I, a 52-yo woman, know who Esther Williams is due to a 1977 Judy Blume book.

‼️ BREAKING:
Last week, @EpochTimes was contacted by two NBC reporters who posed a series of highly inappropriate questions about the religious beliefs of our staff.

Here is our open letter response. theepochtimes.com/our-response-t…
The NBC reporters questioned the religious beliefs of some of our @EpochTimes staff members, sought to discredit their beliefs, attacked our journalism based on personal opinion rather than objective analysis, and even sought out information on the personal lives of our staff.
Unfortunately, the bane of #Journalism today is the all-too-common practice of writing news to conform to a pre-existing narrative or agenda. The best journalism of the past had the truth as its standard, not political advantage.

Since you have decided to join multitudes to do evil because of Blood Money, I will expose you and those you work for. The real Yahoo Baba will be known Nationally. Your mental issues should at least know those to avoid while malfunctioning. I pity that poor young lady. ⏰
This is what Blood Money does to your brain. It makes you forget your destiny helpers. This is someone I took in from homelessness & lack of purpose who piled bills on my account for months. I stood as parent at his 4th wedding yet he turned blackmailer because of BMC?
Wedding pictures loading. This homeless fraudulent albino seeking crumbs must be exposed for who he really is. I’m thankful my life is open and there’re no hidden secrets, what won’t these kind of murders do or say if I didn’t live right?#StayTuned

"Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie T. Johnson, visibly angry at a morning news conference, said Mr. Smollett had taken advantage of the pain and anger of racism . . ." nyti.ms/2GBWjhO
Condemning Smollet for "draining resources that could have been used to investigate other crimes for which people were actually suffering," Johnson said, “I just wish that the families of gun violence in this city got this much attention," according to the @nytimes
And in a rather remarkable admission on behalf of its #journalism caste, the @nytimes added that in saying these words about real crimes in Chicago not "getting attention," Johnson was "referring to the news media"

I went freelance in 2011 after finishing a Ph.D. in Latin American Literature. I had no background in #journalism, and every day that I continue to survive seems miraculous. Inspired by @samirashackle, I'm sharing advice in case it is useful for those who have been laid off.
1. Ideally have six months of expenses saved (I didn't at the time but would do this later). The most difficult part of freelancing is that nobody pays you on time. In some cases, you will need a letter from a lawyer to get outlets to pay you.
2. I didn't have money saved and started out working for free or for really low rates. As you can imagine, I eventually went broke and ended up sleeping on my brother's couch for a few months. In the end, it was no big deal. Failure is a part of the process.

1. This is a Plutonium Pit. It is the heart of most nuclear weapons. It is not a Gamma emitter so you can hold it in your hands. Warm to the touch. On the right is what it looks like inside its shell of high explosives used to trigger it. My metaphor for #N@zi hate. Plutonium pit
2. My estimate when Trump started was 15% of Americans were pure unadulterated bigots. N@zis. KKK, all of a kind. They are the Plutonium Pit of American politics. @realDonaldTrump is the shell of explosives that surrounds it. The trigger is held by his master @KremlinRussia_E.
3. But the single Pit is not enough to destroy America. It needs a surrounding secondary fuel that in H-Bombs is often a kind of water. Not H20. But special isotopes of Hydrogen ready to fuse when the Trigger gets them compressed in a hot rage of hate. That's the #GOP.

1/ From a dataset of 4,003 executed and planned ICOs,
which raised a total of $12 billion in capital, nearly all since January 2017.
Average returns were 179% from the ICO price to the first day’s opening market price, over a holding period that averages just 16 days.
2/ Even after imputing returns of -100% to ICOs that don’t list their tokens within 60 days and adjusting for the returns of the asset class, the representative ICO investor earns 82%.

HODLING generated average buy-and hold additional returns of 48% in the first 30 trading days
