Pam Barbie or whoever getting the Burisma sideshow is like having to listen to the lady behind you in the grocery line talk about her theory of how climate change isn’t real.
We wrote. The sentences. Real short. Because we know. How hard it is. To say things. Out loud.
“Did we mention that we also asked China to meddle in the elections? Cause we did.”

"Illusions, deceptions, mirages -- she cannot truly change things"

"That's true, she can only disguise -- especially for those who want to believe the deception."

This is from the Last Unicorn, but is also a theme in the Neverending Story.

If only we listened.
"Because the truth melts the magic, always."
"Your death sits in that cage, and she hears you"

"Oh she'll kill me one day or another -- but she will remember forever that I caught her, and I held her prisoner. So there's my immortality."

This is so Trumpian.

Poking around and catching up on info ops and weird narrative lines recently.

- the bros now seem to have preemptive block-lists just like the trump-trainers and Kremlin narrative groups

- some accounts have really exposed themselves going all-in on wacko coronavirus stuff
BTW, if you don't understand why you should never source anything to a sole-source on Internet, perhaps in India/Canada, please read up on:

1- Operation Infektion -- one paper in India becomes source of conspiracy that CIA created HIV as a bioweapon

nytimes.com/2018/11/12/opi…
2 - Jade Helm: one paper from sketchy "think tank" in Canada fuels conspiracy about a US military exercise (and sounds a lot like the seeds of QAnon, to boot)

A reminder today:

For 150 years, there were no term limits on the presidency because George Washington set the standard by stepping down after one term.

He believed — and wanted the nation to see — that presidents were equal to other Americans. That we had no king.
He knew the nature of this new, brave system was that power must not be concentrated on one office, one man, one charismatic leader. Power must be dispersed, balanced between branches, to preserve the core values of democracy.

It evolves. Requires change. Fresh blood & ideas.
Washington had fought a war — won a war that was impossible to win — to buy the freedom for these ideas.

And in giving up power, he showed they were real, viable, enduring.

He would laugh in the face of anyone arguing one man retaining the presidency is in the public interest.

🍑Bribery🍑

Trump & Giuliani worked with Viktor Shokin, Konstantin Kulyk, Yuri Lutsenko, & Dmytro Firtash.

All are associated with major corruption scandals.

Trump & Giuliani enlisted the most corrupt Ukrainian oligarchs and officials to carry out their scheme
🍑Bribery🍑

Kent: The chief agitators on the Ukrainian side of this effort were some of those same corrupt former prosecutors I had encountered, particularly Victor Shokin & Yuriy Lutsenko,” he said.

With brand new epilogue: Dear Greta.

#ClimateChange thread

The most sober & pragmatic analysis I've seen is from Citi, showing the benefits of clean solutions outweigh costs.

But that's the business side.

Sadly, the political rhetoric is now unhinged, exaggerated, irresponsible hysteria.

theguardian.com/environment/cl…
1) Greta says "people are dying". Not exactly. Deaths from natural disasters have plummeted over past 100 years.

2) Greta says capitalism is the problem when its driven down pollution by subbing gas for oil/coal, driven innovation lowering solar, wind, battery & other alt costs.

Finally had a minute to read this. Lots of thoughts. First, I agree with most of it, and have been saying the same thing for years - that big splashy design firms exaggerate the value of their work re #climate, a lot. Thread.
placesjournal.org/article/design… via @PlacesJournal @joobilly
But the tone is so busy being snarky about that, and about @joobilly's idea that no landscape architects understand movement politics, that it erases an enormous amount of good work and writing by others in the field - as if we don't exist. 2/n
I said the same thing about Waldheim's version of landscape urbanism. This is turning into a theme. Are you a white guy who wants to criticize landscape architecture for not being more relevant? Try looking at the work of women in this field! HELLOOOOOOOO out there! 3/n
