.@MarkSteynOnline making a good point: time to revisit reusable fabric tote bags?

Since we're taking critical steps to protect our seniors. we should keep in mind if you're using a reusable tote bag you are likely bringing germs BACK into the grocery store

#justathought
@MarkSteynOnline "A 2011 study ...found only 3% of shoppers with multi-use bags said they regularly washed them. The same study found bacteria in 99% of bags tested; half carried coliform bacteria while 8% carried E. coli, an indicator of fecal contamination."

usatoday.com/story/news/nat…
"These reusable tote bags can sustain the COVID-19 and flu viruses — and spread the viruses throughout the store."

Do your part: Use plastic bags to stop the spread of the #WuhanCoronavirus

The people screaming about "UKRAINE!" throughout Jan. are telling us they were way ahead of the curve on #WuhanVirus 🙄

Leave it to WaPo to fall back on its Fake News playbook -- unnamed hacks in the intel community making baseless claims
"...toward the end of January and into early February"

🤔🤔🤔

What was the @washingtonpost interested in then?
@washingtonpost This did not age well

Never forget how Democrats and unelected bureaucrats wasted our time and hard-earned money on a complete sham that had absolutely nothing to do with our national security or the interests of the American people

The Hippocratic oath should apply to reporters, too, @jaketapper

"Do no harm"?

The media cheered stock market fall

Media called it the "Trumpvirus"

Media keeps spreading fake news POTUS called it a "hoax"

Media parrots CCP, claiming it's "racist" to identify virus origin
@jaketapper Media spread fake news about Dr. Fauci being "muzzled"

Media falsely said pandemic office was closed

Media cuts off the President in mid-sentence to mischaracterize help offered to governors

Media mischaracterized what POTUS said about Google developing a website (they are)
@jaketapper Media pits cabinet members against POTUS

Media simultaneously says POTUS did too much (shutting off travel) and is doing too little

Whatever President Trump does, media says the opposite

So why should he take your premise when all you do is stoke division & pessimism?

1) Italy most tourists from China in Europe, 3.5 million last year

2) Italy was encouraging tourism from China *less than a week* earlier

Undersecretary of State said, "We welcome all efforts..to bring Chinese tourists" on 1/23

3) EU kept borders open

Worth noting media, including WaPo, was calling Italy's travel restriction counterproductive

A republished article from Bloomberg on *March 2* questioned Italy's travel restrictions, saying they "abruptly" cancelled flights, and the decision was "second-guessed"

@GlennKesslerWP
@GlennKesslerWP China's state-run propaganda blasted out its meeting with Italian officials on 1/16

"The China-Italy year of culture and tourism" began on 1/20

This just in: Congress just closed the US Capitol to the public until April.

On the one hand, smart.

On the one hand, dystopian.

apnews.com/e7b9d39fd06ed2…
Looks like Congress is fully aware that being out & about amongst the public is risky. They're giving themselves an out.

But they're not taking basic steps to protect the rest of us.
Paid sick leave is CRUCIAL. Otherwise, sick people who can't afford to miss hours will come to work. We ALL suffer when that happens: coworkers, customers, & everyone in our families get infected much faster.

Paid sick leave STOPS INFECTIONS.

Today, I marked a final break with someone I once counted as a close friend.

Since I am a glutton for punishment, I've decided to ride the White Lightning and do my belated review of Azur Lane, Episode 3.

Mine intellectual followers, I beg thee - mute this thread. Mute. MUTE!
It has occurred to me that this milquetoast pile of trash slop shit will continue to be so dull, stupid and uninspired that I may be required to provide the entertainment directly, rather than relying on my dry wit and scathing commentary on otherwise substantial plot issues.
I assure you, my fellows. I am equal to this task.

If I am anything, I am a shitposter born.

ONCE MORE, UNTO THE BREACH

2) Houston Astros vs. Cleveland Indians
3) A dozen losers vying to get slaughtered by Donald Trump in November 2020.

Help me pick guys!
NO NO DON'T DO THIS TO ME AHHHHHHH
My fate is sealed! :(

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

So I talk a lot about big-picture problems I see as an editor (telling vs. showing, character arcs, villains, etc.), but how about we talk about the micro scale of writing craft for a bit? *pulls out megaphone* TIME FOR A THREAD ON SCENE CRAFT!
When I was a new writer I'd never heard of scene craft, but when I learned how to apply it, boy howdy did my stories LEVEL THE HECK UP. Have you ever read a scene where nothing particularly Big happened, but you were still riveted as a reader? That's good scene craft.
Scene craft is all about keeping the reader hooked on the micro level of the story. There are a lot of elements that can go into creating strong scene craft (depending on the type of scene), but let's chat about some basics.
