Locking kids up in cages is fine but don't fuck with our guacamole.

[Food Tank @foodtank]

Fearing that a border lockdown would prevent Mexico from shipping the 80% of avocados that the USA consumes, processors and wholesalers have started stockpiling the prized fruit used in guacamole or as spread on toast [via @stefaniedioses, @Reuters]. https://t.co/ou83WGtMuK

UPDATE: I got a letter from David Ford, the toothless inmate who got dentures after my story. 3D printers to make more teeth are now being installed, he says -& the other inmates are calling him a hero

So grateful to be a part of this. #journalismmatters https://t.co/Aan6hSa8gF

This year we lost an irreplaceable voice in the world of culinary journalism, @thejgold. In his honor, we’ve introduced a new award that highlights the local writers that make those off-the-beaten-path, local food experiences come alive with their work. #jbfa

On one side, a white supremacist president who openly supports and encourages authoritarian racists. On the other, a black Democratic Congresswoman who criticized a powerful lobby group. But sure, both sides.

Wow! China Airport face recognition systems to help you check your flight status and find the way to your gate. Note I did not input anything, it accurately identified my full flight information from my face!

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Last year, I woke up to organize w/ my community & waitressed to make ends meet. Today, staggeringly, I woke up to this.

I believe in an America where all things are possible. Where a basic, dignified life isn’t a dream, but a norm.

That’s why I got up then,& why I get up now.

And @realDonaldTrump isn't Jesus

[Jerry Falwell @JerryFalwellJr]

You nuts attacking @realDonaldTrump for securing the border need to show me where Jesus told Caesar how to run Rome. Jesus taught personal charity but went out of His way to say render unto Caesar that which is his. Jesus never told Caesar to let barbarians illegally enter Rome.

It's not an opinion. He's the president of the United States. It's an abuse of power.

These shameless toadies ... good lord.

Phone number is such a private, important security link. But Facebook will even let you be targeted for ads through phone numbers INCLUDING THOSE PROVIDED *ONLY* FOR SECOND FACTOR AUTHENTICATION. Messing with 2FA is the anti-vaccination misinformation of security. Unconscionable.

[Tom Gara @tomgara]

This is so crazy: even if you deliberately don't include your mobile number in your Facebook profile, they'll harvest it when you use it for two-factor authentication, and let advertisers target you with it. https://t.co/0TIr0zsJOt

The Internet began as ARPAnet, named for the @DeptofDefense's ARPA: https://t.co/TBPy67YMqE
@vgcerf & Bob Kahn developed TCP/IP while working on a US government grant.
@GOPChairwoman is right about 1 thing: the Internet DID come "from the greatness of America":
our government.
