As I watch Twitter political divisions grow wider and deeper, I've decided there is a > 50% chance that some will eventually demand that I pick a side. My 1st, 2nd and every subsequent response will me to extend my middle finger.
Note well that if I agree with you on one, many, or even most things, that is no guarantee that I will agree with you on all things.
Also note that I will like and follow whoever I damn well please. If that bothers you, please make use of the "unfollow" button.
You cannot shame someone who bullied and ostracized for being the nerdy orchestra geek who played D&D. It simply does not work.
"If you do XYZ instead of what you're currently doing, we might let you join our reindeer games."

Me: Haha fuck you.
I didn't play that game in junior high. What makes you think it can possibly work now?
In short, if you don't like my opinions or the people I interact with, that is your problem, not mine.

I swear that many of the DC Republicans want Trump and the party to lose in 2020. Failure theater worked as a way to get money and votes for years and they long for a return to the days of simply lying their way through the years.
Hey, the voters never seemed to hold them accountable in the past, right? Time to go back to the good old days amirite?

No, wrong. The voters specifically wanted the GOP to address certain issues. The GOP once again refused.
Do you think the vast majority of voters in this country will simply accepting a self-perpetuating oligarchy whose sole purpose in life appears to be taking your money and forcing you to serve them? I'm gonna go with no here.

Let's assume everything, every alarmist yelp over the last 3-4 decades about global warming is true.
The USA is lowering it's CO2 output faster than required by a pact they didn't sign on to, while other nations (hey China) are simply increasing their output by more than that amount.
What, then, is your proposed solution?

DON'T USE AIR CONDITIONING, KEEP YOUR HOUSE AT 60f IN THE WINTER AND STOP DRIVING AND TAX THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF EVERYTHING THAT USES ENERGY.

Let me rephrase: what is your *realistic* solution?

Wife and I hadn't celebrated our 1st anniversary when we got attacked in 2001. I was at work and a friend popped up over the cube wall and said "2 planes have hit the World Trade Center".
My immediate response was "terrorism" because 1 could have been an awful accident, but 2 was obviously by design.
Someone pulled a TV out of a conference room and used the long cable as a crappy antenna. We all huddled around the screen and watched. We saw both towers crumble to the ground.

#Twitter: what is it good for? How do you get good at it? And what will we do when it's gone? Today in pulp I share a few insights I've gleaned from almost five years of running this account.

Its about to get all meta...
Most people's tweets are a stream of consciousness, and Twitter itself is a daily flow of 500 million of these across the surface of your phone. You are currently looking at the collective unconscious of the planet...
And like any examination of the unconscious you will see things on Twitter that fascinate you and things that disgust you. This is part of its attraction: the filters of discourse become permeable, allowing the unsayable to leak across.

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?

💪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.
