Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath - Chinese growth is falling off a cliff. The CCP just announced its official growth target of between 4.5% and 5%. 
This is the lowest growth in China in 30 years. 
At the same time, with Venezuela and Iran off the chess board wrt energy supply, they are increasingly challenged in getting the atoms they need to sustain themselves. 
It makes for a very constrained set of decisions over these next few years, especially wrt Taiwan.

Chris Martz @ChrisMartzWX - Hi. Meteorologist here. 
Yes, there is actually truth to the claim that you can smell the rain before it rains!
Healthy soils contain bacteria, and one of the most abundant bacteria in soil, especially moist soil, is actinomycete. Actinomycetes are crucial filamentous, Gram-positive soil bacteria (often resembling fungi) that decompose tough organic matter like cellulose and lignin as part of a healthy cycle.
When that soil dries out, the actinomycetes produce tiny aerosol-like spores that get kicked up when raindrops first hit the ground. Then, the thunderstorm downdraft-produced outflow carries these airborne particles downwind to your location before the rain starts to fall there. The actinomycetes produce geosmin, which gives it that Earthly scent your Grannie was referring to.

Can people really "smell rain" before it actually starts raining? My Grannie would say “I smell rain coming”

Im co-authoring legislation to explicitly teach diversity, equity, and inclusion in our schools. 
Ive also filed House Bill 4111 which would require school districts over a certain size to hire a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer.

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer - More abhorrent antisemitism from Tucker Carlson, invoking medieval tropes and ugly conspiracies.
Yet the GOP continues to mainstream him as one of their most visible thought leaders and President Trump regularly invites him to the White House. This is why I introduced a resolution with all Senate Democrats condemning Nick Fuentes and Carlson. Will Republicans finally join me in condemning this antisemitism?
Or are they all too scared of their own shadow?

cinesthetic. @TheCinesthetic - In Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977), Luke Skywalkers landspeeder was made to look like it was hovering by mounting angled mirrors along its sides. The mirrors reflected the desert ground, hiding the wheels and creating the floating illusion, no CGI needed.
