I can never get over the way that US media talks about WhatsApp like it's some complex, esoteric thing
It's a texting app.
Why is it be surprising to learn that politicians text each other? I don't get it

Around half a billion bees dropped dead in 4 of Brazil’s southern states in the first few months of this year. Samples showed most of the dead had been poisoned with Fipronil, a insecticide proscribed in the EU, classified as a possible human carcinogen by the U.S. EPA (thread)
The opening words of the tweet below lose out in epic self-sabotage only to the early 2010s classic "I am not a witch" and 2019's bold spunky newcomer "I did not fuck my cat"

I deleted this. I was wrong to comment on this short clip without knowing full context of the confrontation, which was messier
I think Weintraub was wrong to escalate the situation, but also don't agree with protesters confronting the man while he's eating dinner w his family
A rundown of what happened, as well as a longer clip, in this article by Folha (text in Portuguese): www1.folha.uol.com.br/educac…
I realize this is well and truly beside the point, but courtroom artist Christine Cornell's recent sketches are really fantastic!
(I'm a little biased though because I met her once during the Sandusky trial and she is such a lovely person, and I love great courtroom art)

Cristiano Ronaldo will not be charged with rape in Las Vegas. Prosecutor said he won't be able to prove crime beyond reasonable doubt
A shame.
In private correspondence w his lawyers, later leaked to press, Ronaldo admitted to raping the woman

This is quite possibly the strangest, randomest and most inappropriate reaction anyone could have to this cute picture, but
It occurred to me that "aardwolf" is an anagram for "Adolf" and "war"
I'm having a real weird one, I guess

1/ An update on the National Review's role in Jeffrey Epstein's attempt to rehab his image:
In my haste last night, after the NYTimes story went up (which made me realize I'd gotten scooped😪) I forgot to mention the most important and still unresolved part of this sordid tale
4/ Three years prior to placing her Epstein puff-piece in @NRO, Ms. Galbraith published a eulogy of sorts to Mr. Buckley, on the occasion of his passing in 2008
Those were the only two pieces she wrote for NRO
nationalreview.com/2008/02/e…
5/ My point, which I tried to make last night but my brain was fried, is that Lowry's insinuation that NRO mistakenly & absentmindedly published a press release, is bull
Ms. Galbraith was very much an insider at NRO; a member of the larger NRO family

In other words, @RichLowry isn't really telling the whole story about @NRO's actions here when he fed the @nytimes this line

I just spent the last several days feverishly reporting this exact story about Epstein's astroturf media campaign, only to get scooped by the Times ðŸ˜
Upside: I can close 900 browser tabs now
Story below misses a huge detail, though 1/n
The media campaign to remake Jeffrey Epstein's public image after he got out of jail in 2009 included articles describing him as a forward-thinking philanthropist on websites like Forbes, National Review and HuffPost. All 3 been removed in recent days. nyti.ms/2Ya106Z
That's another majorly bizarre aspect of this pickle!
Christina Galbraith's father was ambassador to France under Reagan and is essentially Conservative royalty!!
The hell was going on w her shilling for Epstein?

Last thing: the reasoning behind @NRO's decision to remove the disclaimer at some point btw March & June 2015 is theirs to explain
But here's a big story that broke in that exact time period, about Galbraith's employer, the Epstein foundation: reuters.com/article/us-epste…
