For a while now I’ve been an #ambulatory #wheelchair user.
It means that I fall under the umbrella of having a #disability and that I sometimes need to use a wheelchair but I’m also capable of walking sometimes.
Since I got #Covid and developed #LongCovid it’s a useful aid. Image
I mainly use a chair if I need to be out of the house for a longer period of time, or if want to join in with others. I haven’t needed it that often because I don’t usually put myself in situations where it’s necessary.
I met @GDteamspencewere in the #CoronationConcet queue. Image
Terry lost his sight in 2019 & #volunteers with his guide dog Spencer to help others understand sight loss. He inspired me to post more about my own sudden change in health.
I’m sharing this to raise general awareness & because unbelievably, there are a lot of people who like to

ARTISTS BEWARE:

@.YuumiKhaos is trying to cancel me on twitter because she won't pay up 51 us dollars after I redid her entire model even though we said NOTHING about revisions prior.

#PSA #vtuber #vartist [1/5]
She forced me to redo her model and threatened to cancel me and says I'm "threatening her" and told me she'd pay me 1/8th of the original payment I'd normally do (400 usd turned to 51 usd, or 70 canadian dollars). [2/5]
Despite this she's attempting to smear my name even though she "supposedly" apolagised and we agreed by telling all her friends that I "threatened" her even though my message was the least threatening in the world and went deleting her messages to destroy proof

#Methotrexate is the nr1⃣drug of choice for Rheumatoid #Arthritis.

MTX's history is eventful, and deserves a 🧵

🔹It started with childhood leukeamia
🔹Sleeping Beauty in the 1960-70's
🔹Awakened by Hoffmeister
🔹FDA👍1988 and 🔝 in the 1990's

1/🧵 #RheumTwitter #MedTwitter
The start:
🔹1948, Dr Farber treated 5 children with #leukemia with Aminopterin, an anti-folate & precursor of #MTX, with outstanding results

🔹1951, first positive results of Aminopterin in #RA & #Psoriasis pts

Despite this, Aminopterin was aborted in RA

2/🧵 #RheumTwitter
MTX enters:
Due to difficulties in manufacturing, Aminopterin was modified and MTX was created.

🔹1962, positive results with MTX in both RA and #PSA

🔹Next 10 years: MTX was extensively studied in #psoriasis but halted in #RA

🔹In RA, MTX becomes the Sleeping Beauty👸💤

#PSA for #Pune Twitter

Tomorrow is the first full moon after diwali.

Why does that matter? That's when there's a gorgeous lighting display at the 1400 years old rock cut cave temple on JM Road.

Definitely go check it out if you're in town. First one since COVID I think
Pataleshwar Caves is one of those places that in any other country would get millions of tourists. It's such a gorgeous and historic place right in the center of the city. But any restaurant on JM Road gets more foot traffic than it.
I myself only visited them at age 36 tho I went to college literally right next to the caves and probably ate at every single restaurant and food cart on JM Road growing up.

But it took an Instagram post to make me visit. 🙈🤦🏽‍♂️

#PSA for SARS-CoV-2 variant surveillance folks:
We've just released a new Nextclade dataset that can detect BA.2.75, even if there are lots of dropouts and sequencing artefacts as shown in the screenshot where many sequences have dropout in the RBD. 1/
👉 clades.nextstrain.org
BA.2.75 has 16 nucleotide mutations in addition to the branch it attaches to (BA.2 + 25416T, which is incidentally the one that BA.2.12.1 is also on). That's why it can be confidently called even if sequence quality is problematic. 2/
If you want to browse through the zoo of Pango lineages, what mutations they have and how they relate, you can have a look at this Nextstrain tree.
Ironically, BA.2.75 seems to continue the flip-flopping of the S:69/70 deletion highlighted in yellow. 3/

Stephen Miller is trending, which reminds me to remind you
ISIS killed far more Muslims than any other group, and it’s not even close.

So perhaps Stephen Miller’s idea to may — just hear me out here — possibly have been as genius as his devotion to white supremacy, given…

… his genetic prowess.
Dipping Al-Baghdadi’s head in pigs’ blood and “parading it around” to send terrorists a message is absolute proof we’re morally superior to ISIS who

Decapitate people and parade their heads around to send a message

Sure, Stephen Miller.

#PSA #APOLOGY
Recently, a Princeton postdoc posted a thread about a paper he had published with his PI and group in PNAS, which raised serious methodological and ethical concerns. With many others, I tweeted my views of these problems, and did so with strong language.

In doing so, I contributed to a massive Twitter pile-on against this work, which this *junior* research could only have felt directed directly against himself. He has now deleted his Twitter account. I cannot believe that this is a coincidence.
2/
I deeply regret my part in the pile-on. Even if criticism is not aimed at the researchers (and much of it was), massive numbers of often senior researchers directing harsh words at one's research, calling it unethical and comparing it to blatant racism, can only be a traumatic

#PSA I want to talk about a #cybersecurity vector that I hardly ever see discussed here or much anywhere else and that is #bribery for paid access.

Outside of ransomware groups offering insiders ransom payment cuts to insiders, there is hardly any discussion of this topic.
I have encountered a real world incident where an individual was approached by another individual to perform a malicious action equivalent to corporate espionage.

The figure offered the individual a 6 digit offer in order to perform this action
The action would have allowed a 3rd party to access material and content that eventually would have been sold or used for financial gain.

The 3rd party was a valid company used by many other companies as an integration solution technology primarily cloud, containers, and APIs

Did you know that you can earn interest on @TeamKujira $aUST bids?

First of all, what's @TeamKujira ?

@TeamKujira is several things, but I'll focus on its liquidation fulfillment system today, and how you can earn interest bidding on liquidation fulfillments.

1/ 🧵
So! Liquidations occur on @anchor_protocol when loans exceed maximum LTV. How are these loan liquidations fulfilled? Before it used to be whales that would snipe in and buy the liquidated $LUNA or $bETH at a high premium. @TeamKujira has an alternative.

2/ 🧵
What @TeamKujira offers is a bidding system, where anyone can make a bid on a liquidation fulfillment, and when your bid satisfies the requirements – TADA! – you just fulfilled a loan liquidation: here's your $LUNA or $bETH!

#PSA “defining histories” are not written in the midst of an ongoing event.
They are typically not written even within the first decade of the aftermath of an event.
(Of course the very notion of a “defining history” is a loaded conceit.)

The moment we've all been waiting for is here 🙌 India's account aggregator framework is live with a small set of beta users 🎉 This is such a big milestone and will create an orbit shift for the India fintech ecosystem just like what UPI did to payments. 1/n
Account aggregator is an RBI initiative to enable end users to get access to their financial data from any application of their choice. Just like how UPI enabled access to money from 3rd party apps, AA does the same for data. 2/n
So why is it a big deal?

There's a global movement around data to put end users in control of it. India's framework introduces the idea of a "consent manager" which is way ahead of other open banking initiatives. Yes, we are indeed pioneers when it comes to fintech. 3/n

#PSA HinduAmericans: Last night, a twitter lynch mob fueled by the anonymous troll Kashmir separatist StandWithKashmir targeted a documentary filmmaker attacking her work.

Why? She spoke at a @HinduAmerican event about water issues. That's it. This will keep happening. (thread)
This Hindu American filmmaker was gaslit after someone had a disagreement over one of her documentaries over something unrelated to HAF. So her HAF presentation was used as some sort of twisted confirmation bias "gotcha" to slam her work. 2/
Said filmmaker correctly stated that her talk was about water, that HAF is a 501(c)3 & speaking at an event hardly implies conformity w/ all positions.

Not enough for the @twitter mob. A tech scholar @UVA went straight for cancellation. Condemn HAF, else, your career is over. 3/

#Automobiles La bataille de la production de la première génération des #batteries électriques Li-ion a été gagnée par les chinois, il n'y a même plus de match... #Renault fait appel aux chinois pour produire à Douai ses batteries... 😭
... c'est assez invraisemblable car il n'y pratiquement aucun brevet chinois sur la conception des batteries Li ions utilisées... uniquement un quasi-monopole mondial bâtit sur les matières premières et l'industrialisation.
J'ai toujours pas compris pourquoi #Renault n'avait pas intégré le consortium subventionné par l'UE de Total-SAFT et #PSA pour la seconde génération de batteries Lithium...🤔

#THREAD - How A Yogi-fied Uttar Pradesh Breathes A Sigh of Relief!

Let's find out how @myogiadityanath's Uttar Pradesh government with its 'Stealth Approach' stepped up their game to meet #Oxygen demands in the nation's most populated state

#YogiAdityanath #UttarPradesh

1/n
Oxygen, one of the most critical elements for clinical treatment was managed at a war footing by the #UttarPradesh government

Their focus?

The most important metric LOCATION & MOVEMENT of assets to carry as much #oxygen possible with a focus on OPTIMISATION.

2/n
Within 24 hrs, #upgovt activated teams all over #UttarPradesh & sourcing states like Jharkhand, West Bengal & Odisha to intercept trucks carrying #oxygencylinders, deployed an app for download on smartphones & placed it in each truck, w/o disturbing their ongoing route.

#PSA. There are a lot of people claiming they are running for Congress in red districts or against a specfic elected member.

Buyer beware. Ask questions.

None of us know that's true. This isn't a typical cycle

Until Reapprtionment & Redistricting are complete it's unknown
Take GA & couple of people (iirc) running against Taylor-Greene

GA very easily may get another 1-2 seats so shrinking the district land masses and changing lines

Plus, she is talking of running for the Warnock Senate seat

What happens to the money raised?
It's the same in CA or CO, or as I explained in Ohio where we may lose 1-2 districts.

What happens to the money raised if the person claiming they're running against x candidate gets drawn into a democratic repped district?

Do they spend the money primarying that Dem?
