        Piano Man is fine. The Cold Spring Harbor stuff is actually great.

              The Root does kinda suck. They have a couple decent writers but Ta-Nehisi Coates is not walking through that door.

              It's early days. Jezebel sucked in the beginning, too. It's like teenage rebellion: in the initial shock that you've been lied to all your life you tend to be strident and absolutist and overreact (and be loathsomely self-congratulatory). Once you meet enough others who have made The Leap and you recognize that there's critical mass, you gain confidence that intelligent people are on your side and you're just fighting the dummies, not the entire opposite identity. Then you start to have nuance and you weed out the morons who happen to agree with you but are actually just as bad as the One Noters on the traditional side.

              It's not blacks vs whites or women vs men or gays vs straights or humanists vs theists or liberals vs conservatives. It's smart people vs stupid people.

              It really is the rest of us vs the rich, though. F-ck those guys.

                  They had a story about how Serena had to enter the French Open unseeded because her ranking dropped due to pregnancy. Apparently they have an option to seed players on their own without taking rankings into account, but they've never done it and only Wimbledon seeds different than rankings by taking outside factors into account.

                  Anyway, the whole point of the article is that the ranking system is sexist and should be changed for women to essentially freeze their score when they're pregnant. At the end, for no reason, they mention 21 of the 22 members of the WTA board are white. This after using quotes from white players and even Ivanka Trump to support Serena being seeded.

                          Great summary: http://observer.com/2018/05/what-did...o-donald-trump

                          Some highlights:

                          Although it’s now evident that in mid-2016 the FBI used one or more informants to sniff around the Trump campaign, inquiring discreetly about connections to the Kremlin—a major concern for the Bureau when people with documented and troubling ties to Russia and its spy agencies like Carter Page and Michael Flynn appeared in Trump’s orbit—there was nothing untoward or disturbing about this. This is the FBI’s standard operating procedure in counterintelligence cases. Although Trump and his defenders have frequently stated that employing informants was illegal and scandalously inappropriate, that’s just one more Trumpian falsehood.
                          Senator Marco Rubio, a Republican, was equally blunt in his weekend comments on “Spygate,” explaining in an acid-etched interview that he has seen “no evidence” that the FBI spied on the Trump campaign. Since Rubio sits on the Senate Intelligence Committee, which is less plagued by partisanship than its House counterpart, his comments deserve an airing. “What I have seen is evidence that they were investigating individuals with a history of links to Russia that were concerning,” Rubio explained, continuing, “It appears that there was an investigation not of the campaign, but of certain individuals who have a history that we should be suspicious of, that predate the presidential campaign of 2015, 2016. And when individuals like that are in the orbit of a major political campaign in America, the FBI, who is in charge of counterintelligence investigations, should look at people like that.”
                          Let me put my cards on the table: The counterintelligence investigation of Donald Trump was kicked off by not one, not two, but multiple SIGINT reports which set off alarm bells inside our Intelligence Community. This has been publicly known, in a general way, for some time. A little over a year ago, the Guardian reported, based on multiple intelligence sources, that the lead was taken by Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ – Britain’s NSA), which “first became aware in late 2015 of suspicious ‘interactions’ between figures connected to Trump and known or suspected Russian agents, a source close to UK intelligence said. This intelligence was passed to the U.S. as part of a routine exchange of information.”

                          NSA isn’t just the world’s most powerful intelligence agency, it’s the hub of the whole Western spy system. In late 2015, based on GCHQ reports, the word went out to NSA’s close friends and partners to be on the lookout for any intercepts touching on Russian efforts to infiltrate the Trump campaign. They found plenty. As the Guardian explained, in the first half of 2016, as Trump’s presidential bid gained unexpected steam, Australia, Germany, Estonia, and Poland all had SIGINT hits that indicated a troubling relationship between Trump and Moscow. So, too, did the French and the Dutch—the latter being an especially savvy SIGINT partner of NSA’s.

                          As the Guardian tactfully phrased the matter, “GCHQ was at no point carrying out a targeted operation against Trump or his team or proactively seeking information. The alleged conversations were picked up by chance as part of routine surveillance of Russian intelligence assets. Over several months, different agencies targeting the same people began to see a pattern of connections that were flagged to intelligence officials in the U.S.” In other words, Western intelligence agencies that were eavesdropping on the Kremlin and its spies—not Trump or any of his retinue—heard numerous conversations about Trump and his secret Russian connections. As I’ve told you previously, senior Kremlin officials got very chatty about Trump beginning in late 2014, on the heels of his infamous Moscow trip, and NSA knew about this.
                          The official went on: “We had several reports in late 2015 and early 2016, mostly from Second and Third Party”—that being spy-speak for NSA’s foreign friends—“but by the spring of 2016 we had plenty of our own collection.” These reports, based on multiple intercepts, were tightly compartmented, that is, restricted to a small group of counterintelligence officials, given their obvious sensitivity, but they painted an indelible picture of a compromised GOP nominee. “The Kremlin talked about Trump like he was their boy, and their comments weren’t always flattering.” The NSA official stated that those above-top-secret reports left no doubt that the Russians were subverting our democracy in 2016—and that Team Trump was a witting participant in the Kremlin’s criminal conspiracy: “Trump and his kids knew what they were doing, and who they were doing it with,” the official explained.

                                As I said before, the FBI was not investigating the Trump Campaign. The FBI was looking into certain people, like Carter Page, Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, and Michael Flynn, who had been investigated in the past and deemed to have suspicious relationships with Russian nationals, or were continuing those relationships immediately before Trump declared for office. carter Page was even considered to be a fully compromised asset of Russian intelligence.


                                None of these investigations would have come anywhere near the Trump campaign except for one thing. Donald Trump hired all of these people to work for him. One man, and one man only is to blame for the FBI now having questions about people working at the Trump campaign. The man who hired them.


                                Donald Trump.
