Justin Jones reinstated — now 1000x more powerful than before. Thank you @tnhousegop for the best example of the #StreisandEffect I’ve seen in a long time. #FAFO Image
A bunch of old racists thought they were shutting up two Black men and revealed immensely talented Democratic rock stars.

Backfire AF. Image
Whoa. @Justinjpearson just got 10 seconds on TV and absolutely crushed it.

Oh lord, these old white guys have no idea what they’ve done. Image

Previously, @elonmusk promised he wouldn’t ban @ElonJet because of his “commitment to free speech.”
For 4 1/2 years on #Twitter I did real-time postings of @POTUS locations.

Classic pulp fiction influenced English reading Indians so much that in the iconic song “Mere Sapno Ki Rani Kab Ayegi Tu” you can see Sharmila Tagore ignoring Rajesh Khanna by burying her head in Alistair Maclean’s “When Eight Bells Toll”

A 🧵on this genre by @nandyellidli
"Pulp fiction" is a term used to describe a genre of writing, predominantly across America in the early 1900s. The writing covered horror, sci-fi, detective, and war stories with larger than life characters.

These are all the ingredients that Indian film makers like!
A direct influence of pulp can be seen in another film “Shalimar”. An Indo-US production, Shalimar is inspired by Chase’s “The Vulture is a Patient Bird”.

The filmmakers have never admitted to this!

Good old #StreisandEffect, well done S! NI, this is the cadre of our politicians: Defending #childsafeguarding, women's rights & laws based on sci evidence rather than #newcreationism of gender ideology gets you branded a 'hate group'. #BigSeamasIsWatchingYou #AskHimWhatAWomanIs

1:20pm Police raided publisher @sameskybooks and confiscated 5 titles for investigation.

Same Sky is an independent publisher of mostly scholarly books on history and politics, incl. on Thai monarchy. Their books provide critical reading & many are popular among young readers.
List of titles confiscated by police (4 books + latest edition of Same Sky Magazine. I have 3 out of 5. 📚🤓😁)

Note: At the last BKK Book Fair, police visited Same Sky booth and bought some books. ”Hey, if you don’t like books, write a bad review. Not raid the publisher!😝” Image
@sameskybooks confiscated by police. All four are scholarly books by critical Thai historians.
1) + 2): on 1932 Revolution & roles of military, royalist elites & US post 1932-Cold War by Natthaphol Jaijing

Said it once, and I'll say it again: #StreisandEffect trending on Twitter is the highlight of this election season.

And if people start getting suspended for sharing the information relevant to this story I will be totally unsurprised.

In general, social media censorship has been ramped up for weeks, especially noticeable during the #Assange extradition hearing.
First the corporate hack-media refused to cover the #Assange story, which would have been their best legitimate shot of hitting Trump effectively for jailing a legit journalist. The same journalist that the legacy media idiocracy blamed for "installing" #Trump to begin with.

In latest surreal waste of money, Jho Low lawyers demanding our UK publisher not sell in Australia (where book has been on sale without any problem for a year by our US publisher...) #losttheplot #1mdb #jholow #billiondollarwhale #streisandeffect
Speaking of surreal: Jho Low is an intl. fugitive with an Interpol Red Notice & criminal charges in three countries. He refuses to answer a single question & says he can’t get a fair trial in ANY JURISDICTION. Yet, he thinks he can make spurious libel threats? #billiondollarwhale
Having recourse to the law if no other method works makes sense but British people should be incensed that the alleged criminals of the world try to use their libel laws to prevent the truth from coming out even if they have only the tiniest connection to the UK

Alrighty then.
1 - @davekarpf, I read the tweet and laughed. I regret not retweeting it.
2 - #StreisandEffect writ large (@bretstephensNY you should Google this)
3 - Do any American conservative pundits or pols understand what "punching down" means?

I found this @Slate essay from 2017 about a @bretstephensNY interview with @voxdotcom to be enlightening. Thank you, @bing, for putting it in the right sidebar when I went looking for Brett's age (45)

Dear @washingtonpost - seriously folks. Update your stock photo of @bretstephensNY! He barely looks 21 in that pic.
