quote [ President tweets CIA director Mike Pompeo will be top diplomat and Gina Haspel named to become first female director of agency ]
Because he named Russia in the attack on Skripal? The timing is certainly ... suspicious.

quote [ The resignation comes one day after Hicks testified before the House intelligence committee for nine hours as part of the Russia investigation ]
Can someone parse this for me? She was grilled for 9 hours about Russia ... then resigned a from job she was good at, a job she was personally appointed to by a President she was 100% loyal to.

quote [ Alex van der Zwaan, the 19th person to be charged, pleads guilty to making false statements.
Who is Alex van der Zwaan? He works for the New York law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom based in London. Last year, he married the art critic Eva Khan, whose father German Khan co-founded the Alfa Group, one of Russia's largest investment groups. An article on their wedding in the Russian edition of Tatler magazine last year said that Van der Zwaan had Russian roots and worked with Russian oligarchs. ] While the most recent charges have been related to the Kremlin's active measures ops, this latest announcement that most of Mueller's dominoes have been falling on the Manfort side relating back to the very dodgy work he did for Ukraine a decade or so ago.

quote [ The multipurpose messaging app is becoming the nation’s ID system ]

quote [ German public broadcasters have dropped plans to air concerts next year by ex-Pink Floyd musician Roger Waters, citing what they call “accusations of antisemitism against him”. ]
I see this as a pretty blatant example of "antisemitism" being used to bludgeon free and fair criticism.

quote [ The industry let him do as he pleased because it believed it needed him ]
Debated about the category, but decided on the neutral "people" over "crime and punishment" or "politics". I posted what I felt was the most clear-eyed and neutral critique I could find and still agree with.

quote [ The data also identified certain trends, including that gay men had narrower jaws, longer noses and larger foreheads than straight men, and that gay women had larger jaws and smaller foreheads compared to straight women. ]
The grooming and slightly feminine/masculine appearance is understandable, that's my "gaydar" works so much as it does and it doesn't most of the time - but forehead size!?!? So phrenology is actually a real thing?
