I was watching Fox coverage of the synagogue shooting in Poway. Former assistant secretary of state Joel Rubin was making a point. Joel, Joel, Joel the announcer said. Then the control room took the commercial for the Salonpas pain relief patch. This is what I saw: https://t.co/ztFsxA7esh
@HalfEmpty Yeah, it was really bad. They've taken it down but I don't know who thought it'd be okay to begin with

Holy hell. Trump just told the crowd at his Wisconsin rally that after women give birth, the baby is "wrapped in a blanket" and then "the mother and the doctor decide whether to execute the baby."

We literally just had a hate based murder and he's out here stoking up the anti-abortion crowd

Video in this one
Here's Trump making another false & unspeakably dangerous claim about abortion: "The baby is born; the mother meets with the doctor. They take care of the baby. They wrap the baby beautifully. Then the doctor & mother determine whether or not they will execute the baby." https://t.co/Hg6V6pjgpX

tim with the good takeaway (he's got more thoughts upthread but this is the gist of it)
(about how this will, probably, make things worse, actually)

> “People have said to me, ‘it's important that you're the first woman director,’ and I want to say, 'no, of course not. Women are completely capable of doing anything.”
👏
 
@HalfEmpty Still, it's important for people to have a role model

John Bolton confirms that the U.S. signed an agreement pledging to pay the $2 million that North Korea demanded for Otto Warmbier’s care. He notes it occurred before he joined the administration and makes clear he was unaware about this until it was reported. Adds it wasn’t paid.
So they definitely agreed to it then stiffed them? Which like, screw North Korea, sure, but you can't also be acting like you're going to reach a disarmament agreement with them when you lied to their face, c'mon now

> "In an interview, Billy Joel was asked what has made him a standout. He responded his ability to read and compose music made him unique in the music industry, which as he explained, was troubling for the industry when being musically literate makes you stand out. An astonishing amount of today’s popular music is written by two people: Lukasz Gottwald of the United States and Max Martin from Sweden, who are both responsible for dozens of songs in the top 100 charts."

> A barber from Kutztown, Pennsylvania, is paying kids to read a book while getting their haircut to promote literacy.
Can't find mirror right now wifi is dying. Very cool though
His name is Jon Escueta
> The barber first tried such a program when he noticed the kids on the basketball team he was coaching had trouble communicating with each other clearly and he decided to have them read more to help with their communication skills.
Communication is gonna change a lot with technology I think
That's kinda scary
 
@Wipqozn Hmm that is a good story but my story had more grandmas 🤔
Who wins? All of us, I think
Xi Jinping on Game of Thrones: “We must all make sure the world we live in does not descend into the chaotic warring seven kingdoms of Westeros.” https://www.scmp.com/news/china/politics/article/3007991/xi-jinping-shows-his-love-game-thrones-warns-reality-must-not
