I think the “I fell in love with a sociopath I was supposed to be bloodlessly covering and now he won’t return my emails, but I still love him” is a play for life rights $$, pure and simple.

NYC/LA needs at least 3-5 of these a year.

Yawn
I would also love to see a diagram of the interlocking agents/publishers—and, most importantly, their other key clients—pushing out this story.
Anywho, people who betray their professional ethics because they are (or pretend to be) besotted with a sociopath who, tellingly is wary of the fame machine, you’re ginning up for profit/sympathy, maybe shouldn’t be given massive MSM oxygen?

Anyway, putting down a marker for when this is all revealed to be a Vulcan chess scam, which is apparent now, but you know, that reveal is another engine of profit so...

“managing the known unknowns of Giuliani’s endless capacity to fuck up so much that he was at the center of several personal and international legal dramas at once was consuming time and manpower at campaign HQ when there was little left to spare” nymag.com/intelligencer/…
We’ve had other seriously horrible presidents. But is there any other for whom a paragraph like this would have been penned?
“This is reality,” he said. “When they come in, they check their egos at the door, because look: It is what it is. There’s no sugarcoating it.” He gestured to the wall of dildos on his left.

Congrats to @RepDebHaaland (and also @jnoisecat)

Of all the historic firsts, this may be the biggest. To have a Native American preside over public lands is a total game changer. washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…
I hope one of the things @RepDebHaaland can do is instill Native understanding about how to fight fires by embracing small fires to the @forestservice. We've had 100 years of bad policy: motherjones.com/environment/20…
A Native American will preside over the Bureau of Indian Affairs. It is a monumental thing.

It is the me plus ultra good/bad movie
The first five minutes of this film is a symphony of terribly awesome dialog

Annual purge of the kid’s bedroom and toys feels so good
Can I also just say that birthday party gift bags full of plastic crap that no one wants are evil and people should stop doing that?
When you give leather/plastic bound “journaling” schwag to grown ups who don’t journal or bullet list, they sit in a drawer. Give them to kids and you get a scribble on ever page, no easy way to save any good doodle much less recycle them. Also bad.

I think though, pertinent to @JaneMayerNYer's piece today, that endorsement was received (perhaps accurately?) as a fissure between the Bernie Dems and the liberals/centrists. And maybe, party leaders should have been more explicit about the age factor, where appropriate.
it was talked about on the DL, and there was "page turning" rhetoric, but perhaps because the Bernie/Hillary fissure was so fresh, and nowhere more keenly felt than in CA, it was cast as a race between those proxies. That didn't help @kdeleon's (uphill) case.
