Are you ready for #FullDisclosure ?

Be a part of the #GreatAwakening not the #GreatMistakening

#Q mentions [P] in many of his drops. This crumb is important. It refers to who runs this show.

There are 13 bloodlines going WAY back.

P = Pindar

And just what does Pindar mean?
[P]indars are reptilians who are essentially the Draco.

This demonic group has committed the most horrific crimes against humanity.

Wake up.

We have been sleeping.

That’s what they want.

Your awakening frightens them beyond words. They are trapped and cannot win. #WeThePeople are in control.

Twitter company email addresses why it's #BreakingMyTwitter tcrn.ch/2nHgq2z // Oh nooo 😱😱😱 — breaking compatibility is a cardinal sin in being a platform. Or is it? Why the outrage? Why is this right to do anyway? Some thoughts on building a platform+app. 1/
The outrage from those that use third party clients is predictable, and in a sense justified. Justified because going way back twitter talked about the API & openness. Here’s from 2009 interview with @waltmossberg. allthingsd.com/20090526/biz-s… • Walt points out that most users don’t use the Twitter.com interface. Biz: We have at least twice as much usage via the open API and other clients as we do via Twitter.com.<br /> • Walt: Is that good thing? Evan: Yes. Very much…continued in link
I was there and recall thinking “🤔, this isn’t sustainable”. But also at the time, mobile platforms were uncertain—Facebook had not even pivoted yet and Twitter was a very small team leveraging the community. Plus no one argues with openness.

Why not sustainable and so tough?

This afternoon I want to focus on the history of east Portland. While many people know that east Portland was largely annexed into the city in the mid-1980s through the early aughts, I want to provide some details and observations on what that means today...
First some history. Much of east Portland was unincorporated Multnomah County. The unincorporated area included much of what is east of 82nd Ave, but also other neighborhoods like Cully and Brentwood-Darlington.
Since these areas were unincorporated, they still look different today: lack of sidewalks, poor planning, fewer parks, wide & dangerous streets, etc. In other words, @multco shares a lot of the blame for why east PDX doesn't have the same amenities as neighborhoods elsewhere.

(1) My Top Ten Aretha Franklin hits.

No politics tonight. Only soul.🕶️🌟

(2) At the age of 10 I was introduced to the Queen of Soul through this scene in the classic 1980 movie The Blues Brothers.

If for some reason you haven't seen this movie, you know what to do.

#Think

(3) Then I found out Aretha Franklin sang R.E.S.P.E.C.T. in 1967. One of her biggest hits.

Next speaker is Amelia Downs of @pivotal on getting more actionable feedback. #WSC2018Conf
@pivotal Attribution is important! Kudos to Amelia for citing artists of the art she used! #WSC2018Conf
She recently became the anchor (e.g. tech lead) of her team at Pivotal. But she hadn't been on the team very long before she was picked for leadership. #WSC2018Conf

JJ MacNab is w/SPLC amongst other prized orgs lol. Oh, and she’s posed as a man online several times. She’s not interested in truth.
😆
Long story, we go way back.
