@lawrencehurley @bradheath There's no question that some outlets cover the Court far more comprehensively and with far more nuance than others. That doesn't change my view that, on the whole, too much of the public discourse surrounding the Court focuses on what's accessible in lieu of what's important.
@lawrencehurley @steve_vladeck Perhaps our readers just have a different view of the kinds of facts that are entertaining.
@MiwukTwila @arnoldpimley @wingedgenius @Davwud @AzelfDaBoi @kjzzphoenix The report claimed to have found duplicate envelopes, not ballots. (Duplicate envelopes are expected because the county mails back defective ballots; if you then mail it in again, they'll have a second envelope from you.)

@ProfMJCleveland @coffee_indiana @FDRLST Sure. But also, "this guy moved a block and didn't update his address" is a very, very far cry from "rigged illegal election."
@ProfMJCleveland @FDRLST Adding an address is better, but it doesn't get around data quality issues, both with the match and the commercial providers. I'm not conversant in the GA laws. But I think people will always be able to find some small number who moved near election day and messed it up.
@ProfMJCleveland @FDRLST The finding about people they think moved is based on the same type of soft data-matching. They compared the voter file (name and YOB) to a third-party data service. They note there's a margin of error; if it's 1%, that would cover most of their finding. https://t.co/r9wD5oAYzr
@ProfMJCleveland @FDRLST Years ago, I was sure I had identified hundreds of dead voters in Detroit based on similar matches. After going through the results one by one, I found zero.
@ProfMJCleveland @FDRLST The trouble with those findings is that many contain notes basically saying "this might be something, or it might not." And people who've done that kind of data-matching - name and year of birth - before can tell you that it yields many, many, many false positives.

Are you planning to vaccinate your kid (5-11yo) against COVID as soon as vaccines are approved by the FDA? Like, on day 1, straight out of the gate. I'd love to connect for a story. DMs are open. Email in bio.
@conz @hinge @SkinnyLilLegs you better open up LinkedIn then
@conz Yes. For me, it’s more about a return to normalcy than risk of severe illness (which is really, really low for kids). More vaccinations=fewer cases=the sooner we can make a strong case for getting back to normal.
@conz you know it! (if we’re still visiting the us!) we won’t get them in argentina for months, right? 🤔
@conz Every time i hear "people like you" i am curious "who, exactly?"
@conz when my kids are vaccinated, my pandemic is over. can’t take this anymore, and once they’re protected, i will relax *a lot.* indoor dining, not wearing a mask outside my office at my coworking space, maybe even going back to the gym (!!!)

@conz Yes. 100 percent. Z will be 4 when the vaccine comes out and I thought about going to a pharmacy and being like HE IS FIVE PROOVE ME WRONG.
@conz 10000000% and for my 4 1/2 year old will literally schedule it on her birthday or as early as they will let me
@conz yes!! and super bummed my 4- year old is not 5 😭😭😭
@conz @typodactyl Definitely, 100% yes
@conz Sorry you're running into this. I swear we're not all this way! FWIW, though I do think it's targeted toward non-Americans, it is also very much aimed at out of staters. And if you live in northern ME, you probably also feel that way toward southern ME'ers. It's a thing.

@conz I have my kid in a Moderna study. If it turns out she got the placebo she is getting vaccinated the second they unblind.

@conz Me! My 5 year old is immunocompromised and we’ve spent the last 18+ months in hell waiting. His doctors say our best bet is going to be a national pharmacy chain since the dosing differences/ readiness are harder for the medical practice based supply chains, so we will be there
@conz Me to my husband about a few months ago about our now 8 mo old twins: When the vaccine becomes available….? Him (not even looking up from his tablet): Yes.
@conz ME ME ME! My husband is a MICU doc and so far has not caught COVID, but interacts with COVID+ patients every day. We can't wait to get our 8 & 5 year old vaxed!!
@jannazagari @conz our kids are days apart but literally S A M E. Cannot wait.
@conz Absolutely. Tired of being asked what we did over the weekend by childless co-workers who think Covid ended months ago. Tired of my children living out important years stuck in the house. Tired of eating every meal for the last 18 months at home. Just tired.

Kyrie's refusal to get vaccinated allows him to avoid answering questions about his refusal to get vaccinated at Media Day, but it is the proper move under the health and safety protocol, and everything is a mess

I think the emotional harms done to women by sexual abuse are important & real. But focusing only on the emotional toll also allows misogynists to dismiss sex harassment as trivial. In these cases, it can be helpful to remember: sexual harassment enshrines *material* inequality.
We rightly talk a lot about how sexual abuse can warp women’s emotional lives. But sexual harassment also has tremendous professional repercussions for its targets, and perhaps we less readily incorporate these into our assessments of sexual harassment’s harm.
We really should have just told everybody that covid makes your dick fall off.

It's all mainly rooted in a lack of education, but the machine breaking down trust in scientists/experts is fueled by nefarious actors with an interest in corroding our institutions. Some facts are just facts, you can't make up your own science, "fake news" doesn't negate truth
The majority of those aren't people who have understandable reason to distrust government-mandated medicine -- they're crunchy white people who drink alkaline water and right-wing extremists who don't understand how civil society works (or don't want to participate in it)
One of the things that's so frustrating about this NBA anti-vax thing is that, like anti-vax players being a small minority in the league, anti-vax regular Black folk are a small minority among the country's anti-vaxxers

"It is painful to sit in New York, after all we went through, and watch the preventable tragedy unfolding in many parts of the country."
"It is the people who live here who deserve credit for getting us to this point: the residents who got vaccinated, who ate outside in the dead of winter, who canceled birthday parties and held Zoom weddings and holiday meals."
I was stuck in LA during the early months of the pandemic, and even in a liberal city I experienced this first-hand.

Ok so @GavinNewsom just signed these bills 15 mins ago, saying "California is holding corporations accountable and recognizing the dignity and humanity of our workers" So I guess 2021 is indeed a banner year for laws that set min standards for California's lowest wage workers https://t.co/1i4bD2ZHxc
Meanwhile @melissamyrna_ reports that a @AsmReyes47 bill intended to require companies to report COVID outbreaks publicly got watered down by industry opposition .. for the second year in a row. https://t.co/7RyknnRgrs
Other key labor-backed bills still await @GavinNewsom's final call: - SB 321 would extend health/safety protections to domestic workers - SB 639 would require employers to pay disabled workers at min wage - SB 62 would hold fast fashion accountable for garment workers conditions
The same day, @GavinNewsom vetoes AB 616, which would have allowed vote-by-mail for farmworker union elections, as @UFWupdates marched to ask him to sign it. UFW farmworkers then rerouted to the French Laundry & PlumpJack Winery, which Newsom founded. https://t.co/ENeSRwSVD0
Last Wednesday, @GavinNewsom signed AB 701, which targets work quotas at Amazon. The bill is backed by @Teamsters who have vowed to unionize Amazon workers nationally Newsom's language was fierce: "We cannot allow corporations to put profit over people." https://t.co/RRkKt2QOJ1
2021 could end up being a banner year for labor-backed bills that attempt to improve conditions in California's lowest wage industries. Or not. It's all up to Newsom now, & it's hard to read the leaves after mixed signals last week. Why? read on! 🧵⤵️
Nobody has told INDOPACOM or the Seventh Fleet what “winning” competition in peacetime looks like. That’s true today and was true for the entirety of the Trump presidency.

@ConsWahoo @DavidLarter @philewing You know I’m firmly on side where it comes to building the fleet, and I agree with you insofar as an end to the rhetoric also translates into decreased funding - that is definitely the wrong approach.

@DavidLarter @philewing @BDHerzinger My Singapore memories cannot be shared publicly.
@philewing @DavidLarter My compliments on the deep track ref.
@DavidLarter @philewing And hopefully when @BDHerzinger sobers up from his latest Raffles induced hangover, he'll jump onboard with the "walk and chew gum" thing (build a Navy even as we figure out the larger policy).
@philewing @DavidLarter What I tried to address in my repost to the Sage of Singapore was that all the minimize competition talk was having important budget ramifications, and that while the whole golden BB policy thing is thought out, we need to be building a larger Navy that there seems to be a sound
@BDHerzinger rhetoric; it is the bureaucratic cudgel wielded against Navy force structure planning in order to justify a smaller Navy at a time where this strikes many (ok, maybe just me) as unwise. When you look at Navy and say,"meh, all that forward presence stuff can't be mathematically
@BDHerzinger No peril, friend. Would that I had your confidence that there will be some sort of over-arching policy guidance coming to provide rigor and logic to explain (strategically) the truly inexplicable budget decisions being made. The "no more military competition" stuff is not just

@DavidLarter This is a sometime Republic in which pluralities of ostensible citizens believe all they have are rights and privileges but no responsibilities or obligations and that isssssssssssss ... problematic -- and also is what leads to the issue you've identified

@DavidLarter @ConsWahoo We recall the words of defense analyst Geddy Lee: "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice." Ppl got mad at the "what does A'stan mean for Indo-Pacom" thing, but it means a *lot* -- including that #ThisTown will allow a near-crisis to build until it explodes
@ConsWahoo @DavidLarter What makes it especially dangerous is that years and decades of dithering by Washington over how to address this very dilemma may mean the U.S. is materially unready to do so, irrespective of whatever order comes from the commander-in-chief of the moment -- but no one said so
