We knew he was going to make some serious changes, both policy- and staffing-wise. Firing the extant leadership was the bare minimum, and only the beginning. If you work at Twitter right now, you need to update your resume and start putting out feelers or contacting recruiters if you haven’t done so already.

He and Leo can join forces.

Shit, I did mean again. My bad. 

“Tom has never shown a predilection for much younger women”

First, I don’t think Gisele is a billionaire; second, I doubt he’d want someone that would have more power than him in the relationship.

I give it 3 to 6 months before Brady is romantically linked to a model or other celebrity between the ages of 24 and 29.

“West’s wax figure at Madame Tussauds in London has been moved to the archive room and out of public view”

“Not to delegitimize the very real and very disgusting racism they faced as a result of COVID-19,”

The optics are definitely terrible; and based on what she said during the incident, she seems to know this looks really bad.

I like the idea of the third branch of government having a bit of insulation from the political process, because it’s ultimately just a matter of degrees—too much insulation and you end up with unaccountable tyrants; not enough insulation and there wouldn’t even be the pretext of non-partisanship.

In this world. The POTUS and Secretary of State feel it is necessary to frequently address or comment on a cannabis possession prosecution in another country...

Honestly, it’s like being in a suicide pact with my own values—I *nominally* believe in immigration reform, a reasonable path to citizenship, etc., but I also know that this would potentially make it more difficult to realize further progressive reforms. Even the issue of immigration itself wouldn’t be safe; if my own…

Next issue: Are people who consider themselves ‘rugged individualistsʼ particularly prone to harboring regressive social and economic values? 

“While Kovert and her colleagues found the likelihood of extremism to be strongest for those who play Call of Duty (the only other gaming community the researchers examined was that of Minecraft), she also suggested that any video game ecosystem could be prone to this. ‘I don’t think it’s necessarily about content but…

Part of the uproar and “hoopla” is that this is an overly harsh sentence, not just in nominal/absolute terms, but even in comparison to average drug convictions in Russia that are factually similar to Griner’s. In other words, eveb by Russian standards of “criminal justice”, this sentence is a lot.

Hush, they may well get the book... it may just not be Martin who delivers it.
