Seems like they now have enough on Biden & Reade to force Biden to bow out if they want to do that.
No, I don't know who "they" is. And I don't think "they" want to do it. https://t.co/BQNEq15pr4

Apologies to @Newmanalia. He commented that he'd heard Yahoo had at one point lost control of their algorithm. I responded with a crack about the NYT, which should have been made as a reply. I do think the concept (of losing control) has wide application!

I always read Friedman columns waiting for the point where he calls for comprehensive immigration reform. Didn't quite make it in this one, though he ropes in everything else (climate change, polarization). If he had just one more paragraph … https://t.co/GHZVP6DiMS

Hmm.@RyanLizza says libertarian GOP opposition to big government hasn't been displaced as "soul" of the party. I've been waiting for the Tea-Partyesque protests against the looming UBI coronadole. Haven't materialized. https://t.co/ScJwueGumh

What's the difference betwen CAA and Incite, Inc.? One's a sinister, controlling, all-powerful megacorporation housed in this creepily futuristic building.

Re @WestworldHBO Hard to get too excited about a big budget, futuristic series where the all-powerful evil megacorporation seems to be housed in Craft restaurant in Century City and half the people drive Chevy Tahoes.

HELLO, SENIORS: Is Trump's problem 1) that his base is restive because of continued lockdown or 2) that seniors are worred that his support for *end* of continued lockdown could kill them? https://t.co/zZvHnt5JGo

I think "maybe I shouldn't have listened to Paul Ryan."
Actually, that's what he's thinking right now, when or lose, no? https://t.co/iS1wBz5pDu

This is silly. Hinges entirely on his assertion that "burden of proof" should be on those who support lockdown. Others would say "burden" should favor safety, since there's no redo.
Here in CA we think lockdown saved us from being NY. We may be wrong. But burden of proof … https://t.co/deBuy2ZlUK

Why contact tracing — which I've been assuming is pretty futile — is worth it even if we do it badly. And maybe we can do it well. https://t.co/9xSKxGqL9s

Point is to judge by output, not input. Different people have different ways of getting info–but what are results? Plenty to criticize about Trump output these days. Seems a bureaucratic mindset to focus on process–eg does he read memos vs. making phone calls. https://t.co/TPivGgedl7

Memos are one form of communicating knowledge. Phone calls (Trump's preferrred method) are another. People are more apt to be honest in phone calls, no? No leakable record. Memos that work up the chain often exercise in ass-covering & obscuring truth. Not always, of course https://t.co/7Ac583hKVn
