#HISTINT
CIA communication pre-Twitter?

Lamson Corp installed a pneumatic-tube mail-delivery system in Original Headquarters Building (OHB) during construction. System had more than 30 miles of 4‑inch-diameter steel tubing. At the time, this system was one of the world’s largest.
The original system had about 150 receiving/dispatching stations throughout OHB. Shown here is one of the many vacuum-driven carriers that sped along the system, moving mail from one station to another. The system operated from 1962 until 1989.

Holi, @despixeleada Va mi respuesta :)

1. Si lo leen, no se pongan punks. Despixe y yo nos tqm y voy a bloquear a cualquiera que se ponga pesadx porque ps #twitter
2. Screenshotee para que cupieran mis tuits jeje

Va hilo en respuesta a este hilo:
De entrada, estoy de acuerdo con esta comparación que haces. Parto de una premisa: del mismo modo en que no existe consumo ético bajo el capitalismo, no existen relaciones románticas fuera del patriarcado.
Todos los modelos de relaciones amorosas, no importa que tan radicales sean, nacen de él y mueren en él. Si acaso, su máxima aspiración puede ser la de generar pequeñas oportunidades o rupturas para equilibrar la balanza. Pero tienen límites.

Whenever ppl ask about #Twitter, I'm always honest: There's a lot of abuse of women here, but the amount of VILE comments & threats aimed at Black women is unconscionable.

I completely understand why WOC wouldn't want to be on Twitter at all...
bit.ly/2S7Y6xg?utm_so…
But for those of you who weather the abuse & disgusting comments (often daily) & stay here as educators, activists & scholars: Thank you. Thank you.🙏

We- white ppl & men- *should* be doing a better job of ENDING this.

Allies: start being aware & support & promote Black women!
And yes I'm feeling saucy today so this is a subtweet of *many* white men here - esp those with a lot of followers.

Y'all need to do better following - & *promoting* women. And nearly ALL y'all need to do better by Black women.

NEW: A Government is not a household - claims of ending austerity ring hollow until we do away with the household fallacy.

The single greatest masterstroke of Cam-Osb era was to undercut future progressive policy by mainstreaming the household fallacy. bit.ly/2z5aGEZ
The truth is, the household fallacy has been weaponised for purely political ends: to prevent progressive spending policy from gaining legitimacy. Its apparently instinctive logic disguises the truth– what is true for an individual household is not true for the government.
By cutting its spending the government also ends up reducing its own income. So unlike a household, government spending and income are not independent of one another - reductions in government spending when economy is under performing leads to higher debt and lower growth.

Twitter ha censurado a @RosaMSJ2
Lo digo por todos los que la sigáis. Supuestamente estará de vuelta en a las 12 de la noche (hora española).
Aunque la última vez que la censuraron, acabó siendo indefinido después de cumplir dichas horas...
También 12 horas de suspensión a @agus_m_altes 🤦‍♀️
@Davamorgana también tiene limitada la actividad en Twitter de forma temporal. Ni siquiera le han dicho porqué!

💪A thread on amazing Twitter threads 😍👇
In the process of revamping my #Twitter profile (dormant earlier), I have come to appreciate the wonderful underutilized platform it is!
Some threads contain crisp knowledge capsules that can help many. Starting 1 on such curated content
1. I largely rely on this: threadreaderapp.com to find content
2. What I wish to share is what coincides largely with my interests- #Learning, #Investing, #Behavioralpsychology (#mentalmodels, #bias, etc), #Businessbooks, Industry insights/case studies, Life experiences, etc
3/n
 While it will be difficult to structure the order of content here, I will try to block threads by category (as noted above & more). Feel free to comment with any good thread that you would have come across. Cumulative learning always helps.

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
