    Maybe he has the “tweet” button confused with the “send secret message to co-conspirators” button.

    Two long running, Obama era, investigations of two very popular Republican Congressmen were brought to a well publicized charge, just ahead of the Mid-Terms, by the Jeff Sessions Justice Department. Two easy wins now in doubt because there is not enough time. Good job Jeff......

    Telling strangers what topics they should and shouldn’t tweet about has to be one of the least effective forms of censorship ever invented.

    Either way, huge win for Bannon. Once invited, he’d get either attention and legitimization OR attention and claim to victimization. I’d guess he’d prefer the latter, which is what he now has been gifted.

    Breaking: has disinvited Steve Bannon from its annual festival. Here's part of David Remnick's note to the staff.

    Seriously, I can no longer even follow the narrative he wants us to believe.

    Whoever rigged this witch hunt to get Trump has obviously been playing a very long game.

    According to the Failing New York Times, the FBI started a major effort to flip Putin loyalists in 2014-2016. “It wasn’t about Trump, he wasn’t even close to a candidate yet.” Rigged Witch Hunt!

    Jeff Sessions is an Obama deep state embed.

    Have you ever wondered why the meaning of sorting in computing (ordering or ranking) is different from its everyday meaning (dividing into piles or categories)? The answer has to do with the history of sorting going back 130 years and turns out to be really interesting.

    I mostly agree with this—for many people, paper is the perfect way to store passwords. Two situations where it's a bad idea: first, if you need passwords when you're not at home; second, if you're dealing with an abusive domestic partner.

    The topic of writing down passwords on paper is floating around again. And for most people’s threat model that’s perfectly OK. Here’s what I wrote on the subject three years ago.

    Pretty sure a significant fraction of people outraged about not showing the flag being planted on the moon in that movie don’t actually believe we went there in the first place.

    In any case, planting the flag was a meaningless gesture, since everyone knows the Moon has always belonged to America, and has always anxiously awaited our astro-men.

    Today at the pharmacy near I made an exception to my usually ironclad rule about not having my prescription filled by anyone in clown makeup.

    As Neil Armstrong famously said, “One small step for an American, one giant leap for Americankind”.

    This is total lunacy. And a disservice at a time when our people need reminders of what we can achieve when we work together. The American people paid for that mission,on rockets built by Americans,with American technology & carrying American astronauts. It wasn’t a UN mission.

    Just stop. No one wants this except stalkers.

    Playing with some new Twitter features: presence (who else is on Twitter right now?) and threading (easier to read convos)

    A few months ago, I lost my Schlage key punch. It turns out to have been hiding under the lining of my suitcase, and I’ve been flying with this thing that TOTALLY ISN’T SHAPED LIKE A GUN for the last three months.
