Instead of imperfect candidates I am watching perfect dogs.
Best in Show: the Standard Poodle

Reserve Best in Show: the Whippet

Golden retrievers still must wait for their day
Siba the standard poodle was incredibly well groomed, it must be said.
Bourbon the whippet was an impossibly sleek, extremely good boy.

Vinny the fox terrier stole our affections with his stout, dignified mustaches.

And Daniel the golden retriever won everyone’s hearts if not the top prize.

On to Nevada!

“Prosecutors across the United States, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid reprisals, ...”

kinda says it all. nytimes.com/2020/02/12/us/…
You gotta look closely here, but it appears NYT has determined that DOJ spokesperson Kerri Kupec’s claim—that the decision to override the sentencing rec was made before the president’s tweet—is untrue.
Correx: They’re saying whenever the decision was made, the intervention itself occurred hours after Trump’s tweet.

I worry that maybe we've gotten so tied up with process that no one is responding to the core of the argument against Stone's sentencing recommendation--that his misconduct was somehow unimportant. A reminder from the trial that it was important.
The Mueller investigation famously did not establish the existence of a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia. But that's not because it found there was nothing to the idea. Rather, serious leads ran up against some seriously recalcitrant witnesses. Stone was one.
I wrote a thread when the report came out about all these factual leads the investigation despaired of chasing down.

The New York Times embraced and promoted a lie with this story, giving comfort to an administration that is right now purging our government of inconvenient nonpartisan civil servants and fostering a cult of personal loyalty.
Here the subheadline suggests in metaphor that the president’s proposed persecution of Alexander Vindman for testifying under congressional subpoena is just.
The story itself makes clear that the authors are purporting to report from inside the president’s head in characterizing things this way.

Day 98: “About three days ago I got a fever. They moved me alone to the flu cell. There is no one to take care of you there.”

Separated from his sister and her child earlier, he was then separated from his twin as well when he got sick.

Day 99: “When they separated us from my sister, we lost contact with my family. My sister had a paper with my parents’ address and phone number on it, and she also had that information memorized. I don’t know my parents’ number.”

Day 92:

To be manipulative is to purposefully engineer the signals you give out in order to deceive.

To be authentic is to be open, honest and integral, to mirror on the outside what is on the inside.

Make sure not to fool yourself
Authenticity is courage and strength
Day 93:

Feeling is the water flowing down the river
Reason is all the rocks and obstacles that divert its flow

A man without his or others' feelings is like a dry river bed

A man without reason and self-control is like a flood, to drown all that is living
Day 94:

If you're not disabling all notifications on all devices (messaging and mails included) you are giving others control over your life. You become a slave to them, and their algorithms.

Disable them.

Day 1 - FB being really annoying rejecting ads for no reason.

Had to go through their support to have them approved. Now running fine.

Won't really make a judgement on any of the adsets until at least 2-3 days have passed.
Day 2 - Made 3 sales

Conversion rate and cost per purchase are pretty shit but that's not something I care about at the moment.

Gathering data is the name of the game. Got bare ATCs which is good to see.

Made minor website tweaks -> currency convertor, checkout page script
Day 3 - Made 4 sales today

About 70$ net profit so far (got lucky with some $100+ orders)

Take aways -> selling to rich people who don't care about price is the best

Will try using a ViewContent lookalike audience tomorrow, never done that before.
