- Robert Mueller started investigating Trump 1592 days ago, finding 10 instances of obstruction of justice

- Trump left office 248 days ago

“Flying the squadrons cost at least $60,000 per hour.”
am guessing most first responders would feel more “thanked” if the commander in chief redirected these funds towards protective gear, testing, and a cohesive stay-at-home plan and public message.
The Pentagon plans to dispatch the Navy's Blue Angels and the Air Force's Thunderbirds in a multi-city effort to "champion national unity" amid the coronavirus pandemic, according to defense officials and a memo I obtained today.

this is exactly the sort of false equivalence that is the result of the both-sides-ism foisted on an under-informed public.
Rs have spent 40 years (and especially the last 26) trying to break the government while in power, then blaming Ds for not working with them when not.

exactly right. their goal is not change through convincing those in charge to pass legislation and make things more just. their goal is to keep someone who lost an election to remain in power. it is an insurrection.

#MyTwitterAnniversary
every year,
@ackmcd
& i have gone on an anniversary junket to celebrate.
this year, world events canceled our transatlantic cruise incl. key west, ft lauderdale, the azores, france & amsterdam …
… so, we figured we'd take a stroll down memory lane and past trips …
@drewcostley
living in the bay area and having used the embarcadero cruise ship port … i bet it is a lot less disruptive to set up a safe zone with appropriate services at an isolated dock in a corner of the port of oakland than it would be in the relatively cramped setting in downtown SF.
This weekend was amazing,
@emaguayo366
and I got married ❤️🎉. My heart is full of love and it was amazing seeing family and friends come together for this important event in our life. Officially Mr and Mrs Dascalu.

no one better. said this to
@aabewhite
only a minute ago, but i felt lucky to share an office with you two ever so briefly. :)
you were the consummate professional, the consummate teammate, and my impression from your patches was that you knew a little about objC!
carry on!
um, everyone made it happen, I mostly just herded the cats into one room, and relied on
@amdev
's good taste for our team dinner reservations.
of course, one of the cats got loose during

happy 7th,

from working together to rip out certain specific code the day before December app store shutdown many years ago to fixing the lab build in emacs last year?!?
no one more endlessly enthusiastic & dedicated to our end users, to fellow developers.

it's possible I've convince
@mattsellars
that Apple provisioning profiles and code signing is the hardest problem in computer science.
harder than naming things.
p.s. and then there is naming provisioning profiles! let's not even think about that!!
I know there are former co-workers who might excoriate me for stating this, but this is the reason I work at Twitter.
I want to provide tools for everyone to have the choice to say what they feel they need to say, and for everyone to be able to choose what to pay attention to.
Twitter is a great, noisy, democratic community, from which I learn and benefit immensely. Good actors hugely outnumber the bad. The mute key works. And online as in real life, those who speak for a living have a duty not to be so easily wounded by talk-back. Goes with the job.

a) i think she is saying the opposite: that if it's OK for Kavanaugh to be angry, then it's OK for her; (b) I, for one, am saying that it is his lies under oath (not his anger) that disqualifies him…lies about "Devil's triangle"…about his nickname involving "ralphing"; et al.
so awesome of

to pick me as her pro-am partner a day after winning her first cash-prize for winning her women’s bracket. what a great pickleball partner.
my week at the mountain regional pickleball tournament in las vegas is done, and while the results don’t reflect where i hoped i would end up, it has been fun.
@ackmcd
seems to have greatly enjoyed sharing this photo me in my game-day outfit after our final games.
our first dining out in a restaurant in 14 months. only 1 guess each for colleagues wrt where that first pic is from. last pic is from after midnight when we arrived home. no better partner to share such adventures with. (and shot on iPhone 11! by

happy anniversary!
