It was about the JFK files and the lack of info on Dorothy Kilgallen. I am FAR from a conspiracy theorist, but I always thought her death was very fishy. The only reason I know about her is because I watched "What's My Line?" on the Gameshow Network ALL the time. About a year ago, I read this book (Dorothy Kilgallen: The Reporter Who Knew Too Much) which I definitely recommend.
I personally don't have any theories, but once I got some traction on that tweet, I looked at the people responding and they all had #MAGA on their profile page. I'm scared fellow trolls.
Interesting that a new book about the guy just came out on the 7th of may.

You are correct! I didn’t know this before reading your comment so THANK YOU! Buying the book immediately after hitting “post” on this comment. Really, I appreciate it.
Also good, for anyone who likes to travel: What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding: A Memoir https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GVZZN32/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_HsPtzbA28P6Y8
He’s the OG Stud of the Sea! His book comes out tomorrow! 👨✈️

Arms and Dudes. The skies belong to us. One of us. And, though not really true crime in the sense of these others, I highly recommend Evicted.
Unfortunately for your point, he did write a book on the topic. He also presented an excellent and passionately positive and uplifting series touring the US in the same vein.
They both have written books....

Some cookbooks that I use or are on my wishlist:
Great British Chefs also has some recipes from Michelin starred restaurants.
Foley is Good FTFY
As the author of I Suck At Relationships So You Don't Have To, I think it's brilliant to give her a match-making show.
The fact that there was regulation and that a few tech companies 'took over the internet' as you say are completely unrelated.
For example facebook and google benefit from enormous network effects. This means that there can only be one winner. This can be easily explained by just imagining having to put up with 3 or 4 different social media websites just to keep up with your friends. Over time people simply gravitate towards the biggest and best run network. And as they gain critical mass, there is little to no room for small players. That is why Uber is spending so much money currently, because if they gain a critical mass in a certain market, they basically become a monopoly. If it is more likely you find a ride you will Uber, and if more people use Uber, that means more likely to find work as a driver.
As for Google, the more people use it, the better their search engine becomes. And the better it becomes the more people use it. So at some point there is going to be only one winner.
Now as for sharing of phone lines in 90's and 2000's, there was massive overbuilding during that time due to the internet hype. Huge amounts of fiber lines were built that were not used until now. And we used a fraction of the data we use now.
The reason companies like Comcast are rallying so hard against net neutrality is because people now use so much more data (see explosive growth of netflix). This means they need to upgrade their infrastructure, which is expensive. So it is much cheaper to lobby to get rid of regulations and make the internet pay to play with constrained infrastructure. They don't have competition in 85% of their market anyway. Since it is one big old boys club. See this book:
https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Cowboy-Malone-Modern-Business/dp/047170637X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1500673040&sr=8-1&keywords=cable+cowboys
This is kind of shameful because their profit margins are huge (more than 50% of the national average):
https://markets.ft.com/data/equities/tearsheet/financials?s=CMCSA:NSQ&subview=IncomeStatement
If you divide net income by revenue you see that they have more than 10% profit margins. If you look at depreciation (which implies the amount of infrastructure they have installed), they could easily expand this by 50%, provide the US with the best internet the world has ever seen, and still earn $4-5 billion every year. But as I said, why not lobby and ruin the internet instead? Much cheaper.
Just finished both Cable Cowboy, as well as Shoe Dog.
The former is about John Malone's rags-to-riches story on building a cable conglomerate from scratch, while the latter details Phil Knight's escapades in building Nike. Both highly recommended books to learn about how business works, how to build a brand, what goes into margins, competitive strategy, etc. Shoe Dog in particular was a highly entertaining read.
He wrote them years ago:

Reading the Making of Donald Trump this week by David Cay Johnson makes me not surprised he is acting like this.
Trump threatened to sue him a lot... it might be a read other people enjoy as well. (well Im sure the 40% of the US who like Trump might not like it).

Can you mix hallucinogens with chemotherapy? Because I'd do a ton of those.
Check out this book OP. It's about a dude who found out he had inoperable brain cancer and his life story.

Basically anything by Robert Ressler, Roy Hazelwood, Ann Burgess, or John Douglas.
I hope he does well. My entire childhood was better because of him, BOOM WHAP. I even read his two books, Hey I wrote a book and One Knee equals two feet
I can't tell if you're joking or not but I just finished reading Al Michaels' book "You Can't Make This Up" and it was phenomenal. So many cool stories about his broadcasting career. Stuff about Howard Cosell I never new, OJ, various partners. Bottom line: The Helmet catch call would have been much better with Al!
That’s what I was thinking. I’ve read a few ex-flds memoirs and they are horrifying. The most recent one I read was written by one of Jeff’s daughters.

Dr. Feelgood: The Shocking Story of the Doctor Who May Have Changed History by Treating and Drugging JFK, Marilyn, Elvis, and Other Prominent Figures
Unfortunately there's so many people still inside the compound completely unaware of any other lifestyle and fear going to hell for even thinking about escaping. They truly do believe that he's their prophet and whatever he says goes! It's mind blowing how cut off from the world they are.
W.J. had 80 wives when he went to jail, he married them as young as 12! This sadistic, sexually twisted freak shouldn't be able to give orders from being bars but he still manages to do so. One of his daughter's wrote a book about her former lifestyle. She was sexually abused by him and he had told her that God wanted him to show her how to please her future husband...she had told her mom about it, her mother confronted him but she also had to obey the phophet! So much horror still goes on behind those walls...it's so sad

I love love love Ross Mathews' book.
No problem! It's one of my favs. I've watched it several times and have read the book which is an excellent sort of bonus to the film.
>At this rate, I'll have finished the series by the beginning of next week.
Oh, my dear VOD, The Wire isn't a bag of popcorn - it is Christmas dinner, it is a fine wine or 30 year whiskey; it must be savoured. enjoyed. One cannot read the great works of Shakespeare or Shelley by the beginning of next week...
Actually, you probably could...
Let me know how Twin Peaks goes, i've been sneaking to parents house to steal internet, downloading True Blood and other stuff. I would like to know if i should give TP a go.
"Pull the other one, mate" is more an English phrase, perhaps cockney. Without AGloriuosCuppa to confirm, we can only speculate. "I'm only pulling your leg" is very Irish, meaning joking around.
I certainly didn't mean to shatter your enjoyment of Lee "suspiciously interesting openly gay teenage years in the bible-belt" Gould.
I'm actually reading a book right now, Farm Boys: Lives of Gay Men from the Rural Midwest - if you enjoy stories like Lee's, but are also true, i'll send you the book when i'm done :)
EDIT you probably meant you were gonna finish season 1 by end of next week? That is a perfectly good time period...
There's a book called Farm Boys that is a collection of biographies of rural gay men, it's worth reading.
Have you ever read Shrinkage, I'm told it reads different than most cancer survivors' books.
Check out The Boy Who Invented Television by Paul Schatzkin for an excellent overview of the life of Philo Farnsworth, including the suppression of his dream of perfecting nuclear fusion.
Also see /r/advancedtechresearch.
Basically a book with that name.
Massimo Bottura is actually pretty cool though.
This is also the title of the autobiography of the FBI's original serial killer profiler. A seriously great book...
http://www.amazon.com/Whoever-Fights-Monsters-Tracking-Killers/dp/0312304684
"Former FBI agent Ressler ( Sexual Homicide ) coined the term "serial killer" in the 1970s. Writing with Schachtman ( Skyscraper Dreams ), he recounts in straightforward, fact-filled style his interviews with such infamous murderers as Edmund Kemper, Charles Manson, John Wayne Gacy, William Heirens and Ted Bundy. Onetime head of the FBI's Criminal Personality Research Project, Ressler corrects the misleading, romanticized criminal profiles found in the novels of Thomas Harris and Mary Higgins Clark; recalls how he compiled his ground-breaking, close-to-the-mark profiles of actual criminals who were later apprehended; and tells how he worked with mental-health professionals to explore killers' personality traits. Before Ressler, the FBI knew surprisingly little about dangerous criminals. His quest--catching and understanding criminals--absorbs and unsettles the reader, placing true crime in the real world."
