Book 52 done! My #2019ReadingGoal was to read a book per week. Here are the 52 (with four in next tweet that I gave to others during travels). More soon with titles and info on authors. First, I celebrate and appreciate the words that have been much-loved companions in 2019!

Here are the four to add to the pile. #2019ReadingGoal

Thank you, authors! #2019ReadingGoal

Thread: News Summary from the Week that Was (28 July – 3 August)

1. As usual, the legacy media either skipped, obfuscated, or never provided the proper context and follow-up on a number of stories over the past week. Here’s my take on what they missed.

2. Let’s get started with some more #WINNING on the federal judiciary confirmation front. This is an YUUUGE Trumpian legacy:

2A. Instead of focusing on the reshaping of the judiciary, the liberal media and activists are focused on calling McConnell “Moscow Mitch.”

Thread: News Summary from the Week that Was (14-20 July)

1. Here are the week’s stories that the legacy media either skipped, obfuscated, or never provided the proper context and follow-up.

2. Let’s get started with a hoot from Kurt Schlichter, who opines on the Democrats’ dilemma presented by the whackos in “The Squad” (AOC, Omar, Tlaib, and Presser). Here are just a few excerpts from a great article:

2A. The pain of your enemy should be your joy, and we conservatives are pegging the joymeter right about now watching the political sepsis that is CongressKid AOC and her merry band of idiots running rampant within the flabby body of the Democrat Party.

You voted! I found a bar! So tonight, we’re reading Michael Wolff’s Seige: Trump Under Fire which promises to teach us very little but from which we can learn a lot!

Let’s very briefly explain that and then I’ll start the intro

https://twitter.com/killermartinis/status/1136745177844998144

So, the first thing to know about this book is that all of its sources are known liars. Steve Bannon features prominently. The staffers that were allowed to remain anonymous still worked in this White House, and that tells you about their respect for reality versus spin.

Second thing is that Wolff isn’t particularly well known for his unrelenting sourcing and meticulous retellings. Mostly he’s the most accessy of access journos, by which I mean usually you don’t get invited to see the sausage being made if they don’t want or need you to.

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...

In honor of #InternationalWomensDay (& because I'm having trouble focusing on my own writing), I'm updating my syllabus for this fall's Women, Gender, & Islam seminar.

I've been teaching this seminar every couple of years since I started at BU in 2006. Lots of other things have changed in that time but I've clung stubbornly to the book-a-week format for this course. (GIF: Raccoon clings stubbornly to leg; refuses to let go)

It's a mixed upper-level-undergrad/graduate student course. That has pros & cons, but at its best it makes for lively discussions.
