He’s putting Rudy on the ticket. You heard it here first.
(To be clear: this was a joke, grounded in the constitutional mandate that the president and vice president maintain residency in different states.)
(I assume the real reason is some combination of tax dodge, New Yorkers’ hatred of him, and wanting to monetize his post-presidential fame at Mar-a-Lago.)
Damn it. I misremembered the mandate. ELECTORS can’t vote for a prez and veep from the same state, so if you’re planning to win your home state you need an out-of-state veep as close election insurance. But if you’re gonna lose your home state, do what you feel.
Thanks to the two people who corrected me, and to the eighteen more who will correct me in the next 24 hours.

Or New York City, or New Jersey, or Washington State, or Colorado, or Texas, or...
Lots of statewide elections today. Lots of statewide referenda in places that don't have statewide elections. Lots of local elections and referenda in places where there's nothing going on statewide. Get out and vote.
Check out @Taniel for the highlights, and google "whereilive election 2019" for everything else.

Counterpoint: Anyone who argues that the president is engaged in the unification of the American people is engaging in the glorification of the president.
The presidency is a political office, and politics is about building coalition, not consensus.
And yes, as some have responded, the president has ceremonial, head-of-state responsibilities as well. But that’s not the heart of the job. Politics and policy are the heart of the job.

By the way, you see Tina’s yellow barrette? It’s not a yellow barrette. The kid looked in five stores and couldn’t find one. So minutes before we left I stretched a yellow balloon-animal balloon over one of her old brown barrettes, and MADE A YELLOW BARRETTE.
(This Halloween was heavier on buying perfect stuff and lighter on making perfect stuff than usual, so I was thrilled to be presented with the challenge.)

Here we go again. Thread. "#bropenscience" again being slung as an insult & epithet used to stigmatize and shut down debate.

With sidebars about about who NOT to engage with. Thread ending in END.
Sidebar: One trick is to NOT engage with academic SJWs.
But how do you know?

1. They embrace/encourage use of terms like #bropenscience and other SJW terms such as #punchingdown
2. They blatantly violate at least 2 of Merton's Norms of Science:
A. Universalism: Scientific claims are to be judged on their merits, not the statuses (demographic, eminence) of those making them.
B. Organized skepticism: Scientific claims are to be subject to intense scrutiny

DAY 3
Remix Raji @remraj1 talks on 'Framing the Fantastic in Fagunwa's Yoruba Lebenswelt'. The problematic in Soyinka's translation of Fagunwa being aired in this session. Some of his translations of Fagunwa phrases being contested. #FagunwaSoyinkaConf
"Fagunwa's novelistic texts illustrate preliterate 'postmodern' Yoruba thought." - @remraj1
#FagunwaSoyinkaConf
. @remraj1 touched on "the irony of influence" in relation to Soyinka's translation of Fagunwa. Many editions (and consequently readers) seem to identify Soyinka as the author of 'Forest of a Thousand Daemons', whereas he's actually the translator, not author. #FagunwaSoyinkaConf

Alright folks, We’ve got booze, we’ve got snacks, I’ve dragooned Mrs. Dr. NerdLove into this. Let’s get this bullshit on the road.

It’s time for... The Test.
Interesting note: I briefly looked for a (ahem) alternate source for this movie.

There weren’t any.

Nobody wants to pirate it.
Let that sink in for a second.
The movie launches with the credits for the main actors and... well, a sunset on the beach. That’s really about it.

I guess we’re going for that Michael Mann “fuck openings, we’re diving right in” school from Miami Vice.

The Mueller report will completely exonerate the president. You heard it here first.
The Mueller report will directly lead to the impeachment of the president. You heard it here first.
The Mueller report will completely prove the existence of QAnon. You heard it here first.

First plenary talk: @nicolefv and @jezhumble on measurement. "If you don't know where you're going, it doesn't matter how fast you get there." #SREcon
Outline of the talk: (1) where am I going, (2) why do we care, (3) improve performance/quality, (4) measure performance, (5) culture & how to measure. #SREcon
Maturity models are for chumps, says @nicolefv. Everyone has one, you're supposed to get to 5. Level caps in World of Warcraft as an example of level creep. [ed: this is a really interesting thing the CRE team at Google needs to consider in prod maturity assessments] #SREcon
