They are smaller.

I've long said that one of the biggest mistakes conservatives made was valuing media on financial - as opposed to influence - basis.
And yes, the two can be intertwined.

But you don't buy the Washington Post at the valuations Bezos did based on circulation. Same for CNN, etc, etc.
You buy them for the long game. Desired political influence.

True Conservatives blew it here for not recognizing (or ignoring) the more basic underlying valuation.

John Durham obtained Mifsud's phones...
"Barr was in Rome on an under-the-radar mission that was only planned a few days in advance."

"Barr and Durham were especially interested in what the Italian secret service knew about Joseph Mifsud."
thedailybeast.com/barr-went-to-r…
Seems that something spurred that trip to Italy by Durham and Barr on.

Did Durham obtain Mifsud's blackberries during to their sudden visit to Italy...or prior to their sudden visit to Italy?

Statement in 2017 from the New York Times on play that featured Trump Assassination:

”As an institution that believes in free speech for the arts as well as the media, we support the right of the Public Theater to stage the production as they chose.”
nytimes.com/2017/06/11/art…
Delta and Bank of America withdrew their sponsorship from the production.

But the New York Times refused to do so:

"A spokeswoman for The Times said the company, which has sponsored Shakespeare in the Park for 20 years, would not change course."

Atlantic Council.

And Brookings Institute.

Among others.
It seems to me that we should look to Atlantic Council for Ukrainian connections:

And Brookings for connections to false allegations that Trump "obstructed justice"

One of the biggest mistakes many Manchester United fans made was undervaluing a "flat-track bully". Lukaku may have not been the right man after all but a striker scoring against "smaller teams" is incredibly useful to any top side and United are feeling that now.
They often quoted "[number] in [number] against the Big 6" as a response to things but now they should recognised - if they are humble - the value of what they were rejecting: the goals against the smaller teams and the ratio of them being scored.
In his first season at the club, Romelu Lukaku scored 27 goals with 9 assists in 51 games and that was under an extremely defensive Mourinho side which many fans criticised. Yet, at the same time, they undervalued the importance of those goals. 27?! That was incredible.

One of the biggest mistakes journalists tend to make in covering “cyber” is describing defense as active manual maneuvering. That is really not the case.
It is a realm of pre-scripted, rapid, automated action that has already happened before a human reads about the outcomes later
Notably, the FCC made the same type of mistake a while ago when it told @dellcam there were no logs or emails regarding an alleged distributed denial of service attack (DDoS) because the FCC IT team had been too busy "fighting off" the DDoS to generate such logs or emails.
Which is prima facie absurdity due to the massive log-generating nature of a DDoS (that's semi-how it exhausts site resources in order to deny service), and due to that kind of situation necessitating internal emails to coordinate and figure out what the heck is going on.

Jungkook has gone his entire life thinking he had a dead Soulmate. His black tattoo echoed his lonely celebrity life. One day, his tattoo fills with vibrant colors & a lonely Omega stumbles into his life with a complicated past... from another entire world

“Jungkook is busy today. If you wish to contact us for an interview, please contact the agency. Thank you.”

Namjoon shut the door firmly closed, but Jungkook could still hear the loud screaming of girls in the background and the yelling of the paparazzi.

as you may know ive been trying to get back into drawing after a 20+ year lapse. i still mostly suck and drawing on the right side of the brain isnt quite helping yet. BUT i want to recommend Proko's youtube channel. OMG so helpful. youtube.com/user/ProkoTV
i barely watch any youtube but i have watched a ton of his videos. he explains how to draw and shows you what to do in very clear language. im beginning to think i learn better this way than reading a drawing book. again, i still suck but this channel is tops.
i used to draw A LOT as a teen, but i think one of the biggest mistakes i made was trying to draw like the comic book artists i like - liefeld, lee, byrne, etc - instead of drawing "real" stuff. so now i have to kind of unlearn all those comic book mistakes and learn anew.

You go back in time and give yourself one piece of advice about engineering. What is it?🤔 I’m putting this question to @Twitter engineers from around the world who are in San Francisco for #oneteam this week. Here’s what they have to say👇
“Take advantage of learning everything that comes your way because eventually it all connects. Even things that might seem left field like laser beams - we use lasers to make servers talk to each other - it all ends up being applicable.“- @lhi, mission critical engineering, SF
“Don’t doubt yourself so much. The whole imposter syndrome thing is real, and it’s hard to get past. But everyone is faking it to an extent. And don’t be afraid to ask what you might think are stupid tech questions.” -@lee_eisenhardt, site ops technician, Atlanta data centre

OK, look, sometimes people mess up. We all have times when we mess up. We all have times when we make two or three bad errors in succession. We're human. #1/23
The @newsundayherald is one of the important institutions of Scotland's news media. Admittedly it's less important now as our new media develops, but it was a big win for #Yes when, in 2014, it nailed our colours to its mast. #2/23
However, there's two aspects to that decision: yes, @newsundayherald's decision to come on board helped the #Yes movement, but the #Yes movement repaid that with a substantial boost in sales for the @newsundayherald. #3/23
