@magi_jay I watched Fargo Season 4 first and it's a great stand alone. It's particularly topical on historical issues of race in US.

This pro-Navalny protest in Yakutsk in the negative 50C absolutely blows my mind

When Democrats win power, they're told not to govern for fear of upsetting conservative voters. When Republicans win power, there's no expectation on them not to do the same but for liberal voters. One party simply believes the other has no right to govern.

From Dalton to Washington, here's my coverage for @AP_GMS of last week's events in French, English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, and Luxembourgish, in that order.

I'm sorry I don't know who to credit for the photo.

[Gady Epstein @gadyepstein]

The portrait in the background of this Reuters photo is of Sen Charles Sumner, who was beaten nearly to death in the chamber by a Southern congressman who resented a speech Sumner gave attacking slaveholders. The Civil War started 5 years later

@ariehkovler If an Israeli political writer on Dec. 21, 2010, predicted what potentially was going to transpire at the Capitol on Jan. 6, where was the American intelligence community?

[Arieh Kovler @ariehkovler]

On January 6, armed Trumpist militias will be rallying in DC, at Trump's orders. It's highly likely that they'll try to storm the Capitol after it certifies Joe Biden's win. I don't think this has sunk in yet.

Plant-based diets may be the single most important, yet underutilized, opportunity to reverse the pending obesity and diabetes-induced epidemic of disease and death: https://t.co/Z1FVQ8jUaE

So many Mexicos. Who knew?

"I'm Bill Shadel ABC News...The 2 candidates will not be sharing same platform. In NY John F Kennedy. Separated by 3,000 miles in L.A. studio, Richard Nixon. Joined for discussion by network of electronic facilities which permits each candidate to see & hear the other"

Plenty of subtweets in there!

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

There are now more recorded cases of COVID-19 in the White House than in New Zealand, Taiwan, and Vietnam combined, and they have 124 million people.

Let that sink in.

[Bryn Stole @brynstole]

A bias of ~The Media~ that never gets talked about is the strong bias toward coherence.

Make a reporter sit through a bizarre, rambling, nonsensical speech and they’ll be inclined to summarize it in some way that makes actual sense and grab the single sensical quote.
