If you need something to watch tonight that is smart, deep, moving, reflective

I’m going to keep plugging Kings until @PrimeVideo or @netflix revive it

Just don’t watch SOTU.

nbc.com/kings
Lol forgot Kings starts with a scene of their SOTU equivalent. The first family grumbles as they wait.

“He’s not doing the god thing is he?”

“Oh I hope not — god’s not very popular right now”
“Both sides amounts to neither”

Just finished the new Amazon doc series "Ted Bundy: Falling for a Killer"

It's remarkable. Astonishing really. Almost totally absent is the voice of Bundy, over-glorified in most things.

Instead, the women narrate. The victims. Their sisters and friends. The detectives. /1
It's about them. What it was like being a woman while Bundy was preying on women. How he got away with dozens more murders because women weren't taken seriously as victims, witnesses, investigators. How ill-prepared the society was to deal with serial attackers of women./2
It goes in depth on the guilt of the women who got away, evaded him, survived. On those who fell for his lies and games. On how they have struggled to deal with what that means. /3

"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)

We don’t know who the designated survivor is, or if there is one, so that’s totally normal. #SOTU
.@SpeakerPelosi not getting a handshake from Trump. Another totally normal thing that happened. #SOTU

Many guests at tonight's #SOTU are survivors of gun violence. So even if Trump refuses to address gun violence — an epidemic that's killed 120k people since he took office — its presence in the room will be felt deeply.

Here’s who’s in attendance. (THREAD) #MomentsThatSurvive
A guest of @RepTomSuozzi, Linda Beigel Schulman, whose son Scott was murdered 2 years ago at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.

Linda stands with Rep. Suozzi in urging Trump to pass universal background checks. #MomentsThatSurvive #SOTU
A guest of @SpeakerPelosi, @Brady_CA’s Mattie Scott. Mattie's been fighting for gun reform ever since her son, George, was shot and killed in 1996.

Mattie is tireless. This is the 4th year she's joined Speaker Pelosi as a #SOTU guest. #MomentsThatSurvive

(1/) At the president’s #SOTU address, we should be prepared for a torrent of false or misleading statements on every issue. Some of his key claims about the economy are in this tweet, which packs a lot of misinformation into less than 250 characters.
(2/) The Washington Post’s Fact Checker has found that Donald Trump has made more than 1,500 false or misleading claims about the economy since he became president. We should expect more of the same at the #SOTU
washingtonpost.com/graphics/polit…
(3/) The president’s primary deception about the economy is to claim that he inherited a “dismal” economy from Barack Obama, and he turned it around. This is false—the economy was already strong when he became president—and it was trending even stronger.

As for #Iran, @POTUS expected to say in #SOTU, "We will not avert our eyes from a regime that chants Death to America and threatens genocide against the Jewish People"

#SOTU THREAD/ When Trump delivers his State of the Union tonight, expect him to boast about his deregulatory, trade and tax agenda. Here’s how that agenda hurts Americans:
Trump’s self-serving deregulatory agenda is setting the stage for large-scale disasters that could devastate communities and disrupt the lives of millions of Americans. #SOTU
The regulatory protections Trump has rolled back, delayed and abandoned not only save lives, prevent injuries, stop consumer rip-offs and protect our planet, they ultimately make our economy stronger. #SOTU
