As we learned at Sunday school, Jesus also paid a porn star hush money to cover up the affair he had while his wife was pregnant, and had his mobbed-up lawyer cover up the payment. Yes, Jesus (Jesus!) was notorious for his Russian-doll, mob-boss cover-ups. On Sunday, I will reflect on how Jesus was caught on tape laughing about grabbing women by the pussy, and how Jesus rode a golden escalator and told us how much he disliked certain immigrants.

Today’s a great day to remember that Trump’s casinos got caught money laundering not once, but twice. Also, when his helicopter pilot was caught running drugs, Trump personally vouched for him and set him up with an apartment. Hey, while we’re here, also worth remembering that Trump was excluded from bidding on a casino in Australia due to his mafia connections.

I don't know if I find it funny, but I do wonder if all the MAGA small business owners are willing to implode themselves for Trump. You can't run a business without a bank account. And for those who aren't business owners, it's difficult to pay rent, mortgage, utilities, or the credit payments for their flags + trucks without a bank account. Are they going to spend a few days a week going from place to place to pay all their bills with cash?

"We're holding your digital security hostage until you give us 8 bucks" seems like a really winning business and PR plan. Twitter has become the bargain airline of social platforms. "Oh - did you want to arrive at your final destination? HAHAHAHA! That'll be another $1000."

I’ve seen more and more people doing something that surprised me, and that is: actively turning away from social media and other platforms. In more than one case, I’ve seen younger, influential, entrepreneurs - usually within some sort of highly niche space - create marketing plans around proactively leaving social media completely out of the equation, while encouraging others to do the same.

I truly don't get these anti-vacation rental rants in comparison to hotels...they're not the same product? Like if you're going to rant, tell us how for your 1-week trip with children that you got a 2400 sf hotel suite with a full kitchen, multiple bathrooms and a hot tub. 1 or 2 nights where we're eating out and basically only sleeping at home base? Hotel, totally. Extended stay with noisy kids, where I just want to relax, enjoy the view, and not be dressed + downstairs by a certain time to eat? Vacation rental.

Since when is not paying your bills considered "cutting costs"? Mortgage company: you haven't paid your bill for 4 months.

Me: Oh, I'm cutting costs. I spent too much on something; now I gotta tighten the old belt!

Mortgage company:

I've been hanging out on Post the last few days. I can't vouch for anything regarding privacy or methods, but this Pivot episode gave some insights on what the vision is for the platform (Swisher's an advisor and Galloway's an investor in Post). podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bob… The two most interesting aspects of it to me are: 1. micropayments to read news articles and 2. incentivizing good behavior and thoughtful discussions.

I think this is one of the most understated aspects of the Twitter debacle, along w/many others (Trump, etc.). That chaos monkey mgt episode at a former org I keep referencing? Same thing. Guy gets hired and is way out of his depth, partially because he’s hugely bloated his credentials. During the search process, anyone with brain cells could see it would be a train wreck. Upper mgt, for whatever reason, drinks his Koolaid and hires him. (contd)

This is TERRIBLE. If they were doing this for totally benign reasons, why did they set up fake LinkedIn profiles?

With “verification” no longer actually being “verification” but instead a free-for-all, I expect to have this situation on steroids Tuesday. msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/… So a reminder: you cannot vote by text.

If you’re unsure of where to go or what your rights are, visit your local BOE site or vote.org.

Some brainstorming on how newsrooms (and others) can navigate the free-for-all that seems to be in the wings for Tuesday. (Fully acknowledging that this is just a bandaid to get through Tuesday) 1. While you still can, w/out getting lost in utter chaos: direct people to a specific page on your sites for reliable election information.

So I can make 20 different accounts called "Ronald Drump," "Gonald Lump," and the like, pay to get blue checks for all of them, and then tweet out whatever the f*ck I want, all day long? Is that correct? Can I also get one called McRonald's, pay for a blue check, and then tweet that we put cat butts into all the hamburgers and "Crappy Meals"? This is going to be so fun.

Had a similar experience once at CDG where the cashier was asking an American if he wanted ice (“glace”) and he kept responding “of course I want a glass!!!” (I intervened) An unrelated but funny/embarrassing CDG story: at one time they had these recliners at the gate, inside a partitioned room. While waiting for my connecting flight, I laid down on one thinking “I’ll just rest my eyes.”

I spent a stupid amount of time on YouTube yesterday. It started out w/benign tips on riding + handling horses, and ended with people who are clearly addicted to attention, and understand that extremes are what grabs it. Anything + everything quickly jumps to anger and outrage. This is all to say that I think he’s right. There’s a section of the population who wants and enjoys the violence, who wants to live out their own reality shows on social media, whether as highly invested viewers, “content creators,” or both.

At this very second, there are *still* accounts spreading disinformation about this horrific event. We need a report showing traffic - inorganic and organic - on the various platforms over the last 10 years surrounding this issue, and how much $ was made from it. Now we know how much he made. How much money did YouTube + social media companies make by allowing him to do this, unchecked?

Yeah, these are all things that were said about Trump, too. That he was running a terrible campaign, had no money, etc. etc. Hopefully we will have learned our lesson when it comes to stolen metadata, disinformation, and what Bannon called a "major voter suppression operation." So if you're reading this and feeling relieved that Vance seems to be a disorganized, broke mess, just remember 2016 and get your @$$ out and vote in November.

Hey, remember how the Senate confirms Federal judges and stuff? Do you want them to continue to confirm Dem-appointed Federal judges, or do you prefer Mitch "ha-ha-no-I-won't-confirm-Merrick-Garland-try-and-make-me" McConnell to be back in control?

VOTE in November. Hey, remember how the Senate makes laws and stuff?

Would you like for your basic human rights - like over your body, for instance - to be codified, or would you rather the Senate codify others who can't label a woman's anatomy to make those choices for you?

VOTE in November.
