"They're just taking a whole bunch of anecdotes, and they're saying, 'Look, this has happened 1,000 times, it must be true!'" the toxicologist responded. "But it’s actually not. It's never happened once, you just have 1,000 incorrect examples."

Yesterday @NYCMayor said that children "start off with their day picking up cannabis laced with fentanyl to sit inside a classroom where we want them to learn."
But is fentanyl-laced marijuana even a thing?
No, according to a toxicologist we spoke with:

NEW: Billionaire Harlan Crow bought property from Clarence Thomas in undisclosed real estate deal.
Crow netted two vacant lots and the house where Thomas’ elderly mother was living. It’s unclear if he paid fair market value.

Interviewing a dictator is always a challenge, interviewing a liar is a fun. But interviewing an aggressor one needs to show the world the truth.
Thank you @BBCSteveR for your professionalism

Our interview with Alexander Lukashenko has won the Royal Television Society Network Interview of the Year award. An honour for us & a real team effort with my superb colleagues @BBCWillVernon @mattgodtv @AntonChicherov. Here’s an excerpt. Full interview bit.ly/3l750mK

@paulwaldman1 @davidfrum It’s obviously never been about the truth.

For the next 2 years:
JIM JORDAN: [whips glasses off face] Isn't our bonkers conspiracy theory true?
WITNESS: No sir. The things you're alleging didn't happen. In fact, it's just the opposite.
JORDAN: [waves arms wildly in air] Well I think it IS true! So there!

Broburt has less intellect than Pete’s little finger. Imagine if she thought as much about doing her job as she did about composing the best (worst) burn tweet. You want to talk qualifications? Paleeeze.

@Fara1 3/3 It’s almost as if your parable actually proves the author’s confirmation bias (that all Trump supporters are stupid — which BTW, I am inclined to believe myself). I just feel that the vignette described in the parable doesn’t actual confirm what you think it does.
English
@Fara1 1/3 This sounds like a parable. With characters who are meant to symbolize both sides of a cultural divide. With a lesson to the reader about … confirmation bias (or maybe just stupidity?).

Guy on my street is a Trump supporter who hates my little car. Walks by today as I'm filling slow car tire leak with a bike pump and tells me it won't work, he says I need air from the gas station. Nevermind that I showed him it works. He thinks there are different airs!
English
@Fara1 2/3 And yet, I don’t think one has to be a Trump supporter or even simply unintelligent to be highly skeptical about the efficacy of a bike pump on a car tire.

@Jackie_Michele Do the Liars thing and the Morning Show count? No.

@joshtpm I’ve never seen anyone where a mask this way. Fascinating.

"There's old sayings in Texas about find all the rope in Texas and get a tall oak tree. You know, we take justice very seriously, & we ought to do that. Round up the bad guys." -- here's Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) glorifying lynchings during hearing on violence against Asian-Americans

@bungdan I’ve been devouring anything I can find with him in it. He is a singular genius. He fascinates me. I just watched the doc about Enjoi, and again, for me, he steals the show.

If you work at Goldman – and you're one of the 90% of people who never want to work in an office again full-time – what do you think you're immediate response is?

@HowardKurtz Who could have ever thought that governing by Twitter was ill advised? And who believes a word of this. “Having to constantly tweet” ??? Who made him constantly tweet? This is all so dumb.
English
Trump says in one interview Twitter is "very boring" & he doesn't plan to return. As I reported, he's relieved at not having to constantly tweet & his team thinks this creates more measured messaging (no McConnell multiple chins) fxn.ws/3dFsKvF

@HowardKurtz Please do tell! I am so interested in this narcissistic, pro authoritarian, anti democratic man’s inner life. What resides in that rich soul is so compelling. And after all he’s been through! I care how he feels.
English
Some Trump advisers say his Twitter exile has turned out to be positive, forcing him to issue crafted statements, and even the ex-president is "relieved" and has told others maybe it's better for him not to have to respond to every story and swipe fxn.ws/3qufoWC

@ParkerMolloy @commiegirl1 So what is it you want to symbolize?
