Things will be slow over the holidays, so I'm going to use it as an opportunity to point y'all to some of my fav nerd things. Today, one of the BEST episodes of @TEDRadioHour: the 7 Deadly Sins. Esp the segments w @dmislin on voter apathy & Gary Slutkin's paradigm shifting
thesis that gun violence spreads like disease clusters, and thus must be treated in the same way. You WILL be smarter after this hour. I'll answer any questions/comments you post too. npr.org/programs/ted-r…
Looks like I need to tag @meslin to let him know that I am highlighting his excellent work on voter participation/apathy. Can't recommend the above Ted Talk, and his book, enough amazon.com/gp/product/014…

So much THIS! While the Trump Era has ushered in the Golden Age of modern journalism & illustrated the worth of a free press, 1 area has been WOEFULLY lacking (w a few exceptions): those w mic access to him like the WH Press Pool. They let him hold that lawn gaggle & lie daily.
Other than a few other notable exceptions those who get surrogates in front of them, most esp @chucktodd, continually allow admin officials to lie wo pressing them. The exception is the Ukraine interference propaganda, which Todd will challenge them on as being from Russian. Now,
there is a reason that Todd does this and that reason is access: if he challenges Graham or Mulvaney too much they won't come on the show. Better to tread lightly and challenge lightly than to go all in and lose that precious access. This is WRONG, & you know who would tell him

Can't really tell you how big a development it is to have @CTmagazine's editor-in-chief @markgalli breaking from Trump-citing his numerous immoral actions, & imploring other Christians to do the same-in terms of *potential* impact on 2020. My modeling assumes a fully baked in
white, evangelical support for Trump 85/15. If this declined to 75/25, the effect would be catastrophic. CT is standing by their editor-in-chief & his position as E.I.C. & the "ministry" of the org seems to recognize the gains they are realizing in terms of anti-abortion
judges are coming at a very high cost on the brand of American evangelicalism, especially in the global evangelical movement as evidenced here bc of the undeniably anti-Christian behaviors & policies of the Trump Admin.

Here's your #nerdfest thread for the weekend. Brought courtesy of the fine work of my @NiskanenCenter colleague (& poli sci hero) @MattGrossmann's amazing poli sci podcast The Science of Politics. No matter who you are, you'd be better informed listening to this pod. The latest
episode was very fortuitous for me, personally, bc it featured BRILLIANT research from @Davin_Phoenix on what he calls The Anger Gap, which refers to the fact that unlike white voters, black voters are less responsive to anger or threat cues than whites. And this research is a
shining example of why we NEED NEED NEED diversity in our PhDs bc only a scholar of color could have seen the gap in this threat theories, bc only a scholar of color would know that black voters, operating under a system of institutionalized racism would be less prone to anger &

1. My dear Jack, I did promise to do you a letter on how to be a good student. Here I am fulfilling my promise. You can share it with your friends. #Letr2Jack
2. I’m of course writing with the benefit of hindsight. And I have the benefit of life and experience. #Letr2Jack
3. You have to take a larger view of school if you want to succeed in life. University is that phase of life for the development of critical capacities for success. You don’t go to school to learn how to fail, you go to school to potentiate yourself for success. #Letr2Jack

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

I CAN PROVE IT.
Patterns and tactics.
Case handeling. Roadblocks. Witness interviews and authentication. These same patterns and tactics remind of something from way back too. Everything is a complete mirror. Including pinning hacks and cover ups.

Michigan: the main bit is shaped like a hand, it's got a bonus section (the Upper Peninsula), it's surrounded by lakes, it's got Detroit in it...and it's got 1,909 NRHPs, which is about the same as the recently covered Indiana and Illinois. strap in for more Midwestern fun...

I want to tell you guys a story about how it all started #10YearsALearner #10YALpodcast
In 2008, I worked as a PR and marketing executive at an event and image consulting company in VI and I was treated well. But I wanted more. I wanted a bigger challenge so I told Kely dear friend and inspiration @iamtheOsagie #10YearsALearner #10YAL
@iamtheOsagie 2 weeks later.. I got a call from @iamtheOsagie and that was the beginning of an adventure…

O: Hey Godwin. Are you still bored?
Me: lol… You have something for me?
O: Would you like to manage an artist?
me: Who?
O: His name is MI
me: ok… send music
