@katiezavadski “F---ing Sith Lord,” “Horrific Leakers,” & “Berserkazoid Craziness”: The Mooch Recalls His Brief Shining Fortnight at the Center of US Politics, by @WilliamCohan vanityfair.com/news/2018/02/t… Wish he’d been asked about🇷🇺sanctions, RDIF & if he now supports what he opposed at #WEF17?
This is something, coming from a guy who missed the birth of his child—& had his lawyer demand a paternity test?
Does suing CNN & forcing a journo to resign for accurate reporting have permanent benefits?

World chess body has Swiss bank accounts frozen after (Putin-linked) president is accused of links to ISIS oil deals telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/02/1… After @Kasparov63 failed to have him removed, maybe Team Spectre decided enough was enough—& this was the only way to take back the org?
As per ⬆️, an excellent post by @katiezavadski, examining RDIF & Dmietiev! And a great thread follows. Hope to see Scaramucci, Thiel & Goldman Sachs looped in, just in time for Davos!
@katiezavadski So T-rump, Scaramucci & Mnuchin are going to #WEF2018. What about Schwarzman, Bonderman, Black & or WEF Young Global Leaders Dmietriev & Thiel? Or Milner? Is there an RDIF reunion scheduled?
Also, out of curiousity, any chess tourneys or events scheduled?

@katiezavadski Wonder if Scaramucci can get another reporter canned for accurately reporting on what he said in public at #WEF, like he did last year? Or were his legal threats to CNN enough to prevent anyone from taking the risk? Are the Mooch & Thiel now press-proof?
Thinking a lot lately about the VIPization of American culture & how its displaced the notion of equality. Curious about when this started..
I'd like to read a history of VIP sections:)When did they become mainstream/acceptable/legitimate? How are they justified to kids?Any recs?
By legitimizing VIP sections, the #loligarchy has commoditized inequality & aspiration & even my hypocrisy;) Can't we do & build better?
Why is O'Malley still running? There is no way a white man will be either Hillary's (Castro) or Bernie's (Warren?) choice for VP. #DemDebate
"You'll be very happy...I'll let you talk then" #shhhO'Malley
I still wouldn't recognize O'Malley if I saw him in the supermarket. #DemDebate
yes...which is why the OpenAI team's lack of diversity is so discomfiting....
Long @NewYorker profile on Bostrom & the state of AI; not a single woman (unnamed wife aside) mentioned or quoteILtp
If OpenAI is not committed to offering open access to their data, is the "Open" just sqLi4KSCoJ
Is the % of journalism comprised of journalists writing about journalism &/or about other journalists steadily increasing?
Contemporaneous w/ the rise of "selfies" maybe journalists writing about other journalists is its equivalent-selfie journalism-"sournalism"!

New data suggest GOP 2016 nominee will need to win nearly half of Latino vote #lol latimes.com/nation/la-na-l…
Given voter demographics, campaign coverage feels like a fraud perpetuated by a media, flush with CitizensUnited $ & drunk on T-rump clicks
No matter who wins this election (or even if it never fucking ends), the media is lost.
Ex-Googler exposed company-wide pay inequality with crowdsourced spreadsheet How many owe @EricaJoy for a pay bump? fusion.net/story/168986/e…
Btw, @ericajoy did this after Google was caught colluding w/Apple & almost every huge co, to not recruit & keep salaries down, for a DECADE.
Curious about Jobs/Schmidt colluding?
Is anyone comparing the amount of media coverage given to each presidential candidate? Wondering how Trump compares to Sanders..

Are you a journalist who shares this view? If so, there's a solution-STOP writing about Trump-cover Sanders instead!
Experiment confirms quantum theory weirdness; proves reality does not exist until measured phy.so/351940527
.@BillNye exposed the secret meaning of the universe to @amyschumer Hope quantum weirdness becomes the new universe!
So, the universe isn't telling you anything- its just quantum weirdness you're sensing. But don't worry, until measured, its not reality.
Protip: Don't tell other people how to feel. Even more so if you have more power & privilege than they 8dax #really??
I generally presume most of us have good intentions-& are oft misunderstood. Here-obviously-my compassion was a misguided mistake:( #sorry
Isn't it hilarious to mock other people's feelings about behavior that many have told you makes them uncomfortable?
Hmmm: based on prior user behavior, Twitter can tell if a certain @verified user tweets about a woman, when it'll spawn abuse from followers
Given a consistent pattern of threats & abuse, at what point will Twitter & @verified user become liable for the predictable harm caused?
This is what we, as a community, allow and enable--and putting up with it makes us responsible for it. Our participation legitimates it.
Palantir founder charged w/ sexual assault techcrunch.com/2015/01/28/for… Banned from Stanford for 10 years, Lonsdale blames her mom & rape culture?
Stanford ban aside, if that letter is indicative of Lonsdale's judgment (or his teams), should Palantir be trusted w/ nat'l & corp security?
Would you trust your most sensitive data to a company that was started & is run by a 31 yo who dates his 20 yo intern? Should the Pentagon?
Just how is it a pipeline problem when most of those dudes (jobs, zuck, ev, jack etc) don't have degrees & didn't study CS or engineering?
when only women & POC need qualifications, the real pipeline problem isn't education, its blockage by the status bit.ly/29HKC7rvoci
Black women are the most educated group in the US. Yet, Facebook claims its abysmal diversity is pipeline problem? independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…
Dear people I admire, WHY ARE YOU STILL TALKING ABOUT DONALD TRUMP?? Don't you know he's the spawn of Voldemort & thus must not be named?
exactly. hence T-rump

Not emotionally or ideologically prepared; can his Farewell rival my favorite Obama speech? #ThanksObama whitehouse.gov/the-press-offi…
