Gender ideology has completely derailed our family's teenage years.

I grieve for the actual teenage years my kids could have had.

I grieve for the years taken up having to learn EXACTLY what it means for my children and our family and how we as their parents should parent🧵1
I think along with their dead name, their deadteeenage years would have been way more interesting in a fun way and we would have parented them, as we always had, in an attachment parenting way, with gentle supportive guidance. We didn't know then what was happening. We couldn't 2
see it, for being loving and supportive parents that we were just always being. Don't get me wrong, it started off fun and interesting. Pride marches, badges, posters, music and flags. So many flags. Some turned out to be L'Manberg but by the 3

As #Kissinger shouted at 1969 football game, "On what theory?"
nytimes.com/1970/02/19/arc…

An alternative possibility—the "Ducks in a Row" approach:

Ambitious but failure averse, #Xi faces strong incentives to max forces before attempting one of (recent) history's greatest gambles.
"Ducks in a Row" model ≠ theoretical speculation.

#Xi himself has charged #PLA w/ achieving 2027 "Centennial #Military Building Goal" (#建军一百年奋斗目标).

DoD: "this would provide Beijing w/ more credible military options in a #Taiwan contingency."

>>andrewerickson.com/2021/12/prc-pu… ImageImageImageImage
"Ducks in a Row" model allows ZERO room for complacency.

#Xi may well PREFER +-5 years more #PLA prep to attempt max-stakes mark on #history.

But many factors now in play, stakes high, margins thin.

#PRC rhetoric re @SpeakerPelosi trip suggests growing tensions moving forward. ImageImageImageImage

Today is an hot day, not only for temperatures, but also for economic data.

Follow me meanwhile I unroll all the new prints we had today

Super important thread on #inflation and the #housing #market

Lot of metrics to cover, get comfortable and get ready

Let's unpack it briefly
With a 9.4% UK finds itself on the firsts European (continent) Countries that are approaching double digits #inflation, and with the lack of haste in interventions on the #monetary #policies side, the #peak #inflation seems still far away. Let alone the MoM momentum, still high

Remember, some coins have a serious energy expense to create, the advertising costs money, staff at exchanges and infrastructure, all real world bills paid for with $$$

Where did the money come from? The inflows from suckers that promoters drew into the ecosystem.
It’s 100% a complete fucking ponzi and most will never get a penny back from their digital wallet providers. They will go bust and be sued info oblivion. Cause most engaged in swaps for tethers and on-boarded customers, giving them stabled coins created with their debt swaps.

“US-#China Competition Enters the Decade of Max Danger: #Policy Ideas to Avoid Losing the 2020s”

#Xi
#Taiwan
As #PRC/#CCP power peaks over this decade, #Xi may seek #Taiwan as historic prize.

To protect their security & rules-based order, US/Allies must mobilize immediately to deter aggression.

The mission is vital, the stakes are high, & the clock is ticking.

bit.ly/PLA2027 Image
US/Allies/#Taiwan now face “#DecadeOfDanger” w/ peaking #Xi/#CCP/#PRC as #China has extreme version of “S-Curved #slowdown.”

Xi’s risk acceptance will likely be amplified by his track record of largely-uncountered revisionist actions vs. neighbors & RBO.

क्या आप जानते हैं, बिहार चुनाव में @BJP4India ने चुनाव आयोग को वर्चुअल रैली, प्रचार का सुझाव दिया था जिसका @INCIndia सहित सभी पार्टियों ने पुरजोर विरोध किया था।
#कोरोना काल मे चुनाव होना संवैधानिक बाध्यता थी और भाजपा के सिवा सभी पार्टी प्रचार के सामान्य तरीकों पर अड़ी रहीं थी।
इसी वर्ष जनवरी-फरवरी में केंद्र सरकार ने राज्य सरकारों को 17 एडवाइजरी जारी कर चेताया था कि #कोरोना टेस्टिंग, सवास्थ्य इंफ्रास्ट्रक्चर बढ़ाने तथा दूसरी लहर जैसी स्थिति के लिए तैयार रहने कहा था।
17 मार्च को प्रधानमंत्री माननीय @narendramodi जी ने राज्यों में मुख्यमंत्रियों के साथ बैठक में सोशल डिस्टनसिंग, मास्क आदि प्रोटोकाल को गम्भीरता से अनुसरण करवाने आग्रह किया था।

I gave a talk and it was good.
But I wanted it to be great.

I looked at the evals.
I had a trusted colleague give feedback.
I practiced.

I gave the talk again.
Incorporated those insights.
And it was great.

But I wanted it to be greater.
2/
I asked someone I respect to watch the talk.
And give some immediate feedback.
They did.

Then, they asked me to send my slides.
And I did.

They took some time and looked at them.
Then gave me even more feedback.
Specific and laser focused.

On my "great" talk.

Yup.
3/
Like, slide by slide feedback.

"Keep this."
"Maybe ditch that."
"Consider tweaking this."
"Develop that more."

Yup.

They also asked what I thought.
Because that part matters, too.
And we incorporated that into even more feedback.

Yup.

I read this footnote in Jam quickly and saw Owen Roberts. #SCOTUS
2/ #SCOTUS also found a Privileges or Immunities Clause that is relevant to American law. Regrettably, it was enacted by the United Nations, not the Reconstruction Congress
3/ The Jam dissent is #Peak Breyer: #SCOTUS should focus "more heavily" on "the statute’s history, its context, its purposes, and its consequences," rather than its text. And it's a statute concerning international law. Once again, he rejects statutory originalism.

WIND THREAD

1)
Interest in the #solar thread was so strong that I decided to pull together some info on #wind as well. And actually use some #hashtags to make it easier to search.
So with that, on with some windy thoughts from a this particular blowhard:
2)
Like #solar, #wind power faces intermittency problems, so it MUST be paired w conventional power generation unless u r ok having your electricity supply die with the wind. This is particularly the case w old-style 40m turbines in many early-adopter locations like #PalmSprings
3)
Wind’s #sitingrestrictions r different from solar. #Turbines CAN b installed above crops.
Wind CANNOT b installed on slopes (winds r 2erratic, so things alternate between no power & snapped towers) nor above 10k feet (thin air = less force on the turbine blades).
