Big difference between working from home with the kids and on my own in my office:

Amount of Frozen playing in the background.

Oh, and: productivity.
At this rate, the next piece I'll be writing for Just Security:

Should the ICC Open a Preliminary Examination Into War Crimes Allegations in Northuldra?
(Hopefully the worst joke I make all week, but it's early ... )

From a reporter friend in #NOLA:

Louisiana climbing the rankings of worst outbreaks in U.S., even with REALLY low testing rates.
nola.com/news/coronavir…
33 presumptive coronavirus cases as of Friday morning, according to the governor's office.

Some concern that Mardi Gras (Feb. 25) could have been a vector.

In need of test kits/federal resources.

This gets to the government's central messaging problem, and it starts with Trump.

85 percent of people infected have "mild to moderate symptoms."

But if enough people are infected, that can still mean catastrophe. 15 percent of X denominator will be critically sick or die.
We are all staying at home and canceling events to protect them and to avoid overwhelming our hospitals.
And for some, "mild" won't feel so mild:

When a Seattle flu study found #coronavirus in one of its samples, the message from the federal government (CDC & FDA) was:

“Stop testing.” nytimes.com/2020/03/10/us/…
It's worth reading this story from beginning to end to understand the full picture of what happened.

Big difference between left and right is the left has no core values. They change their stance constantly. They will do a complete 180 in a heartbeat if their media says to. And they won't even realize they did. Conservatives have had the same stances, same values for Generations
I mean just think about it, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton all ran on strong border control. The Democrats even voted for a border wall. They are all on video saying we need to get rid of illegal immigrants
Conservative Republicans, at least. Conservative Democrats don't really exist anymore

I’ve had a few followers inquire about my process #writing in 5 acts. Which I’ll talk about it in this thread. By the way, this is my process for outlining and I’m not suggesting you should be doing this or that my way is better than your way, or the only way. 1/
I definitely believe there are more efficient ways and ways of thinking that are better to getting scripts finished which is priority 1 IMO. But there are people who have long processes and if you enjoy exploring through the writing and it’s more of hobby then go for it. 2/
But in my experience the real difference between amateurs or hobby writers and professionals is professionals finish. More often than not. Professionals understand a paycheck waits at the other end but only if it’s done. Hobbyists enjoy the process and maybe they finish. 3/

There is a distinct difference between 'informational' #writing and 'informed' writing. We teach 'informational' writing in our schools and, too often, receive correctly-structured and perfectly-cited bullshit. Students regurgitate main ideas and details, often word-for-word,
1/
and, in fact, show very little understanding of what they've read. This is especially prevalent in social studies. We teachers often encourage this because we emphasize organization and feel so proud when our students can correctly write in MLA format.
2/
'Informed' writing, on the other hand, demonstrates voice, POV, synthesis of different ideas. Its purpose may be the same as informational writing, but it is infinitely more effective because the reader believes that the writer a) understands the content; and b) gives a shit.

Big difference between criticizing Israel's policies and arguing against Israel's *right to exist*.
Most of Goldberg's argument is that Israel is turning illiberal and right-wing, and it's not anti-Semitic to criticize the Netanyahu government policies. Which isn't anti-Semitism.

What she glosses over is the argument against the Jewish state itself.
Is Rep.-elect Tlaib's comment: "Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evils of Israel" anti-Semitic?
jewishjournal.com/news/nation/23…

Or L Hill's invocation of classical anti-Semitic rhetoric a problem for Goldberg?

Next question: OK economy is expanding, but many residents don't have skills. What are best ways to connect jobs with people.
Joe Exotic: Where I'm from, the economy isn't exactly booming. People can't get a ride to work. Big difference between city economies and rural economies. Teach people to function as normal human beings first before asking what business wants.
Barnett: Talks about hard time finding people to work because some are just applying to jobs in order to keep unemployment benefits.
