Bernie Sanders Facts
Bernie's tears cure cancer. But he doesn't use them for that purpose, because curing cancer is the government's job.
Bernie counted to infinity. Twice.

And it still wasn't as much as the money America would save with Medicare For All.

1/OK, here is a thread for all the cultural traditionalists, masculinists, MRAs, incels, and assorted other male detractors of sexual modernity.

It's time to debunk the idea that sexual modernity is winner-take-all for men.
2/The standard (but incorrect) argument is that modern society results in a few lucky men (the "Chads") sleeping with all the women, while the median man is forced to go celibate, or close to celibate.
3/Here is a guy making that argument:

1/OK, so, @noahpinion, being a complete jerk, offloaded the job of responding to this Robin Hanson post about sex redistribution onto Yours Truly.

overcomingbias.com/2018/04/two-ty…

So here we go...
2/Basically Hanson asks "If you want to redistribute money, why not redistribute sex too?"

Here is the quotey-quote:
3/So, most people's reaction to this is probably going to be "FUCK YOU ROBIN HANSON WOMEN DON'T OWE YOU SEX!!!"

And that's a good and legitimate reaction.

Really enjoying this #novel being published day by day, using Github for #transparency on edits and creation, with a changelog and all. See the creative process! 🛠

jevakallio.github.io/NaNoWriMo/

I might have made a couple of pull requests for typos. 💁‍♀️

@wallet_novel #nanowrimo
@wallet_novel Which also makes me wonder how much of our sophisticated development workflow that we take for granted we could share with others disciplines who have no idea (or maybe better ideas!) 💡
But this is amazing. Git for the creative process.

So as you probably know from my SUPER SUBTLE HINTS in my viral fighting in ballgowns thread, I'm a larper & a tabletop gamer. For each like this Tweet gets, I'll post a thought about the relationship between roleplaying games & writing and how gaming has shaped my creativity!
One of the biggest differences between running games & writing novels is that gaming is fundamentally collaborative. While in writing it sometimes feels like your characters have minds of their own, in gaming they LITERALLY DO.

You can learn SO MUCH from this.
A good game runner (GM) has to be willing to let the players run with their crazy ideas and weird priorities and take the plot in directions you never expected.

Learning to let my cherished plot ideas go and be flexible as a GM has been a HUGE help to me as a writer.

At the start of this week, I said that I've grown up between 2 #cultures. I imagine many of you navigate more than one #culture 2. So what are some of your experiences navigating more than one culture? #navigating2cultures

For example, for me....
At work, I use cutlery; at home, I eat rice & curry with my hands. That is the best way to eat rice and curry. Eating with cutlery just doesn't cut it. You can't mix the food in the same way. & while we're myth busting, we NEVER eat just 1 curry with rice!!!

#navigating2cultures
My mum once sent me to school with coconut oil in my hair - because in Sri Lanka, coconut oil is thought to be good for hair. Of course, everyone laughed at me and I never did that again! Now, I see coconut oil is in lots of hair products...🤔 #navigating2cultures

At the 2014 #TetZooCon - that's the first one ever - I spoke about Speculative Zoology, or Speculative Evolution, or whatever. And here I'm going to tweet some of what I said... The cover slide shows awesome #Squamozoic art by @alaskanime plus a Night stalker and a .. a.. well..
Evolution is real and animals have a past; therefore they also have a future, something we can take seriously. And many authors have... #TetZooCon
There's already a whole genre of 'alternative history' fiction, variously called AH, allohistory or Uchronia. Ideas about alternative or parallel timelines. And the idea is in mainstream fiction... #TetZooCon

1/ Manu (The progenitor of Humankind)
All different races of Mankind are derived from Manu and Shradha. The current Manu is Vaivasvata Manu.
2/ The word Manu literary means man but it is a title given to the progenitor of mankind. According to Hindu Puranas there are many kalpas (One day of Lord Brahma the creator) and each Kalpa has 14 manvantara and each manvatara has one manu. So basically each Kalpa has 14 Manus.
3/ The current manu of the present manvantara is Shraddhadeva or Vaivasvata Manu of this current Kalpa. He is the son of Vivasvat (Probably Surya) and is therefore also known as Manu-vaivasvata.
