Sydney has now officially exited summer and the weather is pleasant and so the temperature immediately dropped to 10C last night. Need to buy a heavier quilt.
Meanwhile, I think an emu has nested in my air conditioner.
Don't talk to me or my roommate the cat ever again.
Even Vox awoke from its vodka-and-adderall-induced coma for five minutes to pile on.

The new [twitter] tag is great. You can just sit there all day mocking Politico and it doesn't matter if Twitter has banned you.

I've been doing some back-of-the-envelope calculations on the real-world impact of the Green New Deal, based on existing projects like the California and Texas high-speed rail lines, and the cost escalation involved in running a multitude of such megaprojects simultaneously and on impossible deadlines.
First, if we take the published GND outline literally, the cost would run to around $375T per year, about four times the Gross World Product.
Second, during the execution of the 10 Year Plan, industrial and transport activity would be multiplied by roughly a factor of six - and so of course would greenhouse emissions. Replacing air transport with high speed rail, for example, would take 500 years to show a net reduction in CO2 emissions.

- AMD says "16 cores is so 2017", announces 32-core desktop CPUs coming in Q3 this year.
- Intel says "We can do that too!", announces 28-core 5GHz desktop CPU which unfortunately requires an external 1HP refrigeration unit. (No, seriously.)
- Steam tells the censors to get bent.
- Asus sticks a screen in the touchpad. Looks like a pretty nice laptop.
- Apple announces nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Zuck, standing in front of barn door, enormous brass padlock in hands: We've shut the door, and now we're locking it.
Lock: KA-CHUNK.
Zuck: We've put top men on the problem.
SLOW ZOOM OUT SHOWING MILES AND MILES OF BARN AND THOUSANDS OF DOORS
Zuck: Top. Men.

This is not the narrative approved by the DNC-Media Complex so it has been alternately attacked and ignored. It does, however, appear to be true.
Very excited to see the Mueller indictment today. We shared Russian ads with Congress, Mueller and the American people to help the public understand how the Russians abused our system. Still, there are keys facts about the Russian actions that are still not well understood.

Most of the coverage of Russian meddling involves their attempt to effect the outcome of the 2016 US election. I have seen all of the Russian ads and I can say very definitively that swaying the election was *NOT* the main goal.
— Rob Goldman (@robjective) February 17, 2018
The majority of the Russian ad spend happened AFTER the election. We shared that fact, but very few outlets have covered it because it doesn’t align with the main media narrative of Tump and the election. https://t.co/2dL8Kh0hof

The main goal of the Russian propaganda and misinformation effort is to divide America by using our institutions, like free speech and social media, against us. It has stoked fear and hatred amongst Americans. It is working incredibly well. We are quite divided as a nation.

The single best demonstration of Russia's true motives is the Houston anti-islamic protest. Americans were literally puppeted into the streets by trolls who organized both the sides of protest. https://t.co/9w1EAl28CH

The Russian campaign is ongoing. Just last week saw news that Russian spies attempted to sell a fake video of Trump with a hooker to the NSA. US officials cut off the deal because they were wary of being entangled in a Russian plot to create discord. https://t.co/jO9GwWy2qH

There are easy ways to fight this. Disinformation is ineffective against a well educated citizenry. Finland, Sweden and Holland have all taught digital literacy and critical thinking about misinformation to great effect. https://t.co/V0JNvW083W
— Rob Goldman (@robjective) February 17, 2018
We are also taking aggressive steps to prevent this sort of meddling in the future by requiring verification of political advertisers and by making all ads on the platform visible to anyone who cares to examine them. https://t.co/EPrubt7mqm
