Did he say he'd eat a bat in like a "fuck you, COVID" way or a I love Ozzy Osbourne way?
Bats thought their bad news cycle was finally over. But no.

He went to zoo, stole a lemur, and then was arrested on an unrelated burglary charge while the lemur kicked it on a local playground?!??
I really want to know if this was a premeditated lemur theft or a theft on impulse.

Also...how do you catch a ring-tailed lemur? Those suckers are fast and ultra dexterous
Senior lemur

1/ I am enraged. Excellent reporting from WSJ's @dseetharaman and @EmilyGlazer finds that Facebook engineers—with sign-off from Zuckerberg himself—retooled their algorithm to throttle traffic to high-value progressive news orgs, @MotherJones IN PARTICULAR wsj.com/articles/how-m… Image
2/ Last year, @MonikaBauerlein and I wrote about how Facebook's changes to its algorithm hurt legit news orgs as it pumped right-wing disinfo machines. We used the impact on our traffic as an example: motherjones.com/politics/2019/…

BUT Image
3/ We did NOT know that they were targeting us in particular.

We suspected, and has since been shown in this WSJ piece and elsewhere, that they made these changes b/c conservatives had worked the refs. ITS SO MUCH WORSE.

1/ CA/SF voters. There are 26 combined ballot propositions before us. As an officer in a 501(c)3 I am allowed to make recommendations on these measures. Follow along for my thinking as I fill out my own ballot.
2/ Starting with CA propositions. Most, to me, are an easy call, but there are always stumpers. The first, Prop 14, bond issuance for stem cell research is one. Science good! Stem cell research, so promising! But... latimes.com/california/sto…
3/ Argument against Prop 14 is that it isn't constructed to have adequate oversight as to allocation of funds—especially fraught in budget crunch. But otoh, don't we need to ride hard for science? latimes.com/opinion/story/…

Atm, i have no clear rec.

Really horrible (thanks @NBCNews) that these aren’t being aired sequentially. The contrast is stunning.
Biden is super gracious to all the questioners. “I hope I answered your question” is his closer to either Trump supporters or Democrats.
Trump meanwhile is aggressive and lies to anyone, on any subject.

Enormous bench of talent in CA Dem politics waiting for DiFi to retire.
Beyond DiFi, Democratic congressional leadership should do something other than pure seniority for committee chairs.

Experience matters, sure. But not the the exclusion of everything else.
DiFi being one of the first women to be elected to the Senate matters. Her championing of gay rights and the environment matter. Authoring the assault weapons ban matters.

But those are ancient to most voters, if they know about them at all. She's hurting her legacy.

If your vote didn't matter they wouldn't be working so hard to keep you from voting.
Do not aid those trying to rob you of your voice, your vote.
Do not give in to confusion and weariness.
That's what they're counting on.
Take it from people who are old enough to have lived through close/watershed elections: those who do not vote or toss their swing-state vote away in some kind of protest, almost always feel deep deep deep regret about it.
