Flake is drawing a parallel between the fake news shit and all the current despots... And how its inspiring other dictators. I tried watching this on FB live but the comments were making me sick. I'm just speechless at what people believe.

Sen Durbin up, continuing theme of telling 45 that calling journalists fake news is bad
I need some more Senators from the right to grow some and stand up with the left counterparts. ESPECIALLY about this fake news shit.

@adorabel, there’s a thread on the GD page. I have a lot of feelings about it. Ultimately, I’m disappointed in Aziz, but I don’t think it was assault. I feel for Grace. It sucks to realize that someone you really like is only engaging with you bc they want sex. I don’t think wanting a sexual encounter is evil, but it does seem like Aziz *should have* known Grace wanted something more meaningful. It’s so obvious to most women who read her story. But, especially based on men’s reactions, I also find it entirely plausible that he didn’t. And that’s a symptom of our current societal attitudes and norms about sex— and how messed up they are. That feels like the real story to me. It’s an opportunity for everyone to think more about consent and stereotypical expectations for men and women in sexual encounters. I will say, that I see a lot of women advocating for a “yes” consent policy, and I think it’s much more complicated than that. That’s what got us Louis C.K., after all, and I think we all think his actions were gross and wrong even though he asked women if it was ok. I also think that the babe blog, which no one had ever heard of before, seems to have gone after this hard, in a sloppy, irresponsible way, and really used both Grace and Aziz in an effort to make a name for themselves. Yeah, as I said in my post it pretty clearly doesn't constitute assault and the major issue in my mind is that the reporter failed to handle what COULD have been a productive discussion in the right way (that's basically the argument of the Jezebel piece I linked). Really, really agree with you about the bolded. Verbal consent is not a cure-all, and I think teaching men to be less entitled and aggressive and more sensitive to reading verbal AND non-verbal cues is as important as teaching women to be more confident about drawing boundaries/saying no. Feeling the same as you both and pretty muddled. I read the Babe piece (after thinking "and what is babe.net?") and found it exploitative and overdone. It left me with lots of Qs I actually didn't even want answered. That said, I recognize I'm primed to be skeptical as a big fan of Aziz, and his treatment of this exact topic on Master of None. I believe Grace, but had a stomach ache and raised eyebrows watching this all play out on Twitter. I might peek into the GD discussion...

Wow. Even if that were true– what an odd defense. My dad doesn't care about people or their well being– he just cares about money!

CNN reporting Bannon struck a deal with Spec Coun. instead of testifying in front of grand jury I figured this is the route he would go. Wants to protect his own ass.

the crazy thing is, "seeing green" will probably sound great to loads of people because we've decided we see the reckless pursuit of fame and wealth as totally acceptable... in fact, it's now our collective national identity and dream.
WHY DOES AMERICA WORSHIP MONEY SO MUCH FUCK WE ARE SO BAD AT THIS

R - A - G - E at this piece in Wa Po:Rep. Mark Amodei (R-Nev.) said leaders urged lawmakers to get behind the bill and make sure it could garner the Republican votes needed without having to appeal to Democrats. “Keep the power of 218 going so you don’t weaken the majority position by having to get votes from the minority,” he said. “Rep. Tom MacArthur (R-N.J.)... accused Democrats of “ the height of stubbornness” if they vote against the bill because it doesn’t include a solution for “dreamers,” hundreds of thousands of immigrants brought to the country illegally as children. COOL SO NOW WORKING WITH THE MINORITY PARTY AT ALL, OR EVEN LISTENING TO THEM, AKA DOING YOUR DAMN JOB, IS "WEAK"

A really interesting read from Scientific American about why this influenza is so bad. Things I did not know: 1- there only used to be one influenza a strain at a time, but by laboratory accident there are now 2 2- the types of flu you are exposed to early in life make a difference. The current elderly population was not exposed to H3N2 as children, and hence why they are more susceptible to serious side effects 3- The H3N2 vaccine is very difficult to grow. It does not replicate properly in egg the way the flu vaccine is typically grown, hence why the flu vaccine given typically does not provide great protection against that strain. www.scientificamerican.com/article/ldquo-the-problem-child-of-seasonal-flu-rdquo-beware-this-winter-rsquo-s-virus/

BREAKING: AP Reports that Bannon's attorney relayed questions, in real time, to the White House during a House Intelligence Committee interview yesterday.
This means the White House is privy to details of an investigation into it.
Where is the outrage???

Is this legal? And I have no hope that Bannon is turning on him.

Nunes is probably leaking anything coming out of the house intel investigation to the WH anyway. But GDI to Bannon still doing Trump's bidding.

They're all between 18 months and 2 years old, so EVERYTHING goes into their mouths, and my kiddo has never met an illness he can resist. I'm legit freaked out. {TW}A 10 year old from a nearby town just died from the flu. This is an incredibly wealthy area, so it's not from a lack of quality health care. It's just so damn scary.

My newly 2 yo caught it about 2 weeks ago. It sucked, but tamiflu was an option for us and really helped quash the fever fast. It's been so bad in our area. FX your family is spared!
