Who's up for another dumber-than-shit Ford v Ferrari hot take
not sure anybody *needed* the movie, but it's sold $100 million+ of tickets in a week. I'm actually more confused by who exactly is demanding all these wokescold movie critiques
I saw it Saturday and quite enjoyed it, but admit parts had me gnashing my teeth as an autistic automotive history obsessive-compulsive geek

The whole "candidates munching on strange food in Iowa" photo op genre has taken a very dark turn
I am probably going to vote for him as the only candidate with a higher comedic potential than Trump
there's a reason we call it Misery Alley

while waiting on Nate's official update, here is my quick calculation of #CFBMarbleGame marble count Top 10:

1 OSU 727
2 LSU 669
3 Clem 631
4 OU 591
5 Utah 527
6 UGA 524
7 WI 436
8 OR 431
9 ND 418
10 Baylor 413
Conf title game marble count scenarios:

ACC: Clemson win = Clem 692, UVa 246; UVa win = Clem 505, UVa 433
B1G: OSU win = OSU 814, WI 349; WI win = OSU 582 WI 581
SEC: LSU win = 774 UGa 419; UGa win = LSU 535 UGa 658

1/2
P12: Utah win = Utah 613 OR 345, OR win = Utah 422 OR 536
B12: OU win = OU 674 Baylor 330, Baylor win = OU 473 Baylor 531

2/2

I've been struggling to tell this story to be honest, but I'm prompted by the @TheKingsFund @alzheimerssoc #DementiaPathway event today. It's about what happened to my dad when he was admitted to hospital earlier this year. I'll try to summarise, but bear with me...
My dad is 78 and has Alzheimers. Fair to say it already begun to impact significantly on him before his admission (I'll explain why this is relevant later). He woke up during the night with severe pain in his groin - so severe that he couldn't walk. My mum called their GP...
The GP felt that the pain may have been a hip fracture & recommended A&E for an x-ray. An ambulance took them there. At A&E my mum also mentioned that he had in the past suffered hernia's & she had noticed a lump in his groin. They focused on this. They did not do an x-ray.

Here's the podcast version of my "I mean, look at the polls, impeaching Trump is probably a bad idea, politically" hot take, which pretty much all of you hate.
I do talk in the podcast about just because impeaching Trump is probably a bad idea (politically) doesn't necessarily make it a good idea for Trump to goad Democrats into impeachment.
p.s. Probably the worst counter-take is the strawman that's like "SO YOU SHOULD JUST ALWAYS DO WHAT POLLS SAY?!?!?"

#Actually, my argument is as much about the lack of policy upside (what does impeaching but not removing Trump really get Dems?) as much as the political downside.

In light of that ridiculous @blogTO article I’m going to talk about induced demand for a second. Mostly because it gets thrown around a lot on urban twitter and I think people take for granted that many people might not know what it means. Going to try and make this short. (1/11)
Put simply, induced demand recognizes that there are always more people who want to use the road that can. I think most people think roads are like a water (or sewer?) pipe. If the flow is constrained you just widen the pipe? Right? Wrong. (2/11)
Cars are not a fluid and don’t behave that way. Individual water molecules aren’t sentient and can’t make different choices about how they get from point a to point b. But people can! So when roads are congested people do different things. (3/11)

I’m only posting breaking news/ hot takes/pithy rhetorical analysis/puns/selfies from #TribFest18 for the next few days.

Starting now.
At registration I’ve already run into two people I know—a former student who wants to go into publishing marketing (and working the @BookPeople table) & a former Aggie Agora speaker. Also bought @TheRickWilson’s book and hoping to find him irl so he can sign it for me!
Y’all! So excited to see @DLind @cjane87 & @mattyglesias talk about the weeds of Trump’s boarder wall. #TribFest18

I'm a sociologist who studies adolescent sexual violence. On this thread, I will be live tweeting the #Kavanaugh hearing, chiming in with sociological insights and research findings.
Full disclosure--I will probably step away for parts of it. While many conservatives have cast feminists as people who rejoice at allegations of sexual assault against powerful men, this is a painful process for us. We know survivors. We are survivors. And I will need breaks.
It does not bode well that the beginning of this hearing is starting with equating #Kavanaugh and #Ford's experiences with harassment following Dr. Ford's allegations. They are absolutely not the same.
