Imagine being so bad on the air that you have to resort to shit like this to get headlines like @chuck_and_julie do
In case you don't click through and see what I'm talking about, he said he wished for "a nice school shooting to interrupt the monopoly.”
Also, I'm sorry I had to include his co-host Julie in this. I bet she's way better on the air than he is, since she's the one who has to clean up after him.

What do you think those seven dwarves were supposed to be? You know, the ones in the story where they're protecting a lady named... oh wow this is awkward
And vampires, the ones who drink blood and are banished by crosses? I'm sure that's just a coincidence though lol
Rachel Bloom was on top of this years ago. Check out 1:20 or so

When I was a breaking news/street beat reporter in Los Angeles, my producers would want me to knock on mass casualty survivors' doors. I would refuse, which is part of how I earned an exceptionally irritating "maverick" moniker, but there are other ways to write these stories.
I've covered some pretty bad, ugly situations on the ground over the years; I've found there's no sense in retraumatizing people just to get some five-second sound bite during ratings periods. That's the laziest journalism of all, when you forget who you work for -- the people.

This is true. And our culture has changed at warp speed lately as we’ve realized it more and more, despite political distractions. The difference from even as recently as five years ago is notable. So let’s end this framing now and enter the future with our eyes open — together.
But while it originated with the right, the mainstream left and center pretty much eagerly rolled over and let the framing and distractions via spectacle and histrionics happen instead of fighting for true accuracy. How’s that been working out?
That’s how objective journalism got weaponized into normalizing loony bullshit. Both sides!

1. Dear Mr Johnson, I understand you keep saying “Let’s Get Brexit Done”, but I think there has got to be a question asked about that...

2. You see, after people voted on the referendum you claimed that both sides had said that “leaving the customs union & single market”

3. Now, the problem with that is that Remain documentation definitely indicated the Norway model was a possible outcome.

This really is a terrible feature, and what’s more I’ve never clicked through without thinking... “yep, that’s why you’re muted.”
Though in my experience it’s muted not blocked
Understood, but the benefit of muting someone is close to negated if every time they reply Twitter tells you they've replied.

Twitter's optimized for us to click through to see context in threads. It's natural to click through to see muted replies.

Imagine being so big mad that I expose the culty freak homophobic experiment shit that is transgenderism that you use a bad picture of me to drive home a petty & inaccurate point that detransitioned women are ugly failed women? Fucking pathetic bro. I’m pretty fuckin cute 🥰
@ArielleScarcell holla at ya... boy! since that’s what biological females who take T but desist when they realize it’s fucking position are to you :^) What’s good? My line’s open any time, “cis” 😌
I think it’s a case of this notion that in order to validate transmen’s transition, you HAVE to insist that detransitioned women still look/act/sound like men. Maybe that’s true to some degree. But that’s why we transitioned to begin with.. we felt out of line with gender.

0/ Back from an amazing week in Hobart* to bring you a 24-part thread covering the latest from the #crypto space over the past day or two!

*S/O to @TasFireService & @NSWRFS for bravely fighting a near-month-long fire that's now burnt out 28,000+ ha of World Heritage-listed land.
1/ 🛰️ Leading #Bitcoin infra. #tech provider @Blockstream has launched its Blockstream Satellite API Beta.

Paying via the #LightningNetwork testnet (i.e., for free), users can broadcast data via Blockstream's satellite network. No #Internet needed! blockstream.com/2019/01/16/sat…
2/ 🛑 Ethereum's #Constantinople upgrade was postponed due to a potential vulnerability discovered by #blockchain security firm @Chain_Security relating to EIP1283 (i.e., cheaper gas costs for SSTORE operations). Next course of action to be explored during Friday's core dev call.

0/ The #crypto and #blockchain space can get awfully noisy. Below, the bits that caught my eye over the past 24 hours or so.

21 events compressed into a humble #Twitter thread. Enjoy!
1/ 🙋‍♂️ @IOTAtoken [ $IOTA ] made hires #52 and #53 for 2018 via Andreas Penzkofer and William Sanders.

The former is an electrical engineer and physicist specializing in analytical and numerical methods. The latter, an academic focused on commutative algebra and category theory.
2/ 💡 Australian #blockchain startup @PowerLedger_io [ $POWR ] upped its presence in the U.S., announcing the deployment of its P2P renewable #energy trading platform at licensed retail electric provider @APowernet's Pennsylvania HQ.

0/ Another doozy of a thread for you!

The past ~24hrs saw a great many #blockchain projects share development updates and partnership news. Amid this, the #crypto space was ripe with discussion on several topics.

On what, exactly? Well that's for you to find out 😉
1/ 🇺🇸 @AugurProject [ $REP ] - yeah, that #Ethereum-powered decentralized prediction market everyone wrote off post-#mainnet as quickly as @Novogratz revises a #bitcoin price forecast (😘) - well the #USmidterms have seemingly awoken punters from far and wide. Those numbers!
2/ 🔎 @adam3us's leading #bitcoin and #blockchain technology firm @Blockstream announced its new block explorer, blockstream.info.

Now, users can search and view specific data published in real-time to the Bitcoin #blockchain, Bitcoin #testnet and Liquid #sidechain. Neat!
