#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

<Brief Thread> on some CIA reports as the #PKK insurgency was beginning in #Turkey.
HT @Ayei_Eloheichem, who found these materials. He covers Russia, Israel, terrorism, espionage, and more. Give him a #FF.
In August 1985, the CIA believed that the #PKK insurgency in #Turkey that had begun exactly a year before was all-but finished because of the internal divisions in the Kurdish population and the gangsterism of the PKK, plus no support from Iraqi Kurds. bit.ly/2uk88k3

And now, a word on 🇷🇺 Russia vs Croatia 🇭🇷 from our sponsor, Sadimir Putin #SadimirPutin #RussiaVsCroatia #CRORUS #RUSCRO #WorldCup2018 #WorldCup
We caught up with #SadimirPutin on his way home after the match and asked him why he hadn’t been able to execute any nerve agents in the Croatian team’s half time water #RUS #RUSCRO #Croatia
Sadimir assured us that he would be sending in Wagner mercenaries to ensure both #England and #Croatia didn’t leave the next match alive, but then he remembered America obliterated their last team of child-killers in less than ten minutes and made a video out of it #SadimirPutin

Many friends have expressed interest in learning more about the VR/AR landscape, but don’t know where to start. As an active member of this community for 4+ years, I thought I’d kick off a recurring #FF thread of the people you need to pay attention in XR.
Keep an eye out for new names every Friday 💪 NOTE: this is not a comprehensive/ranked list. These are people who I have known to be valuable sources in #VR, #AR, & #MR.
KENT BYE
You have to start with the Voice of VR himself: @KentBye. Armed with his trusty microphone, he’s become a fixture at conferences—not just for his expansive knowledge in emerging technologies (check out his new @voicesofai podcast), but for his killer dance moves.

It is absolutely the case that armed teachers will mean more black students will be getting shot, full stop. Gonna post some quick resources/data on this.
(1) Black students are already disproportionately penalized by teachers, across the board, for all sorts of things, in our schools. nytimes.com/2014/03/21/us/…
(2) It's been consistently demonstrated that schoolyard behavior that is seen, in white children, as "acting out," is framed, when the kids are black, as signs of dangerous nascent criminality. Read this: thesocietypages.org/socimages/2013…
