Twenty-One Thoughts On The Persecution Of Julian Assange

"Anyone who offends the US-centralized empire will find themselves subject to a trial by media, and the media are owned by the same plutocratic class which owns the empire."

Statement on the @thinkprogress report that I "write for" US Journal, an outlet which appears to have some undisclosed connections to Iran: I'm an indie writer and I don't write for any outlet. Outlets republish my work on a daily basis, some with permission, some without. 1/3
It happens that this one was with my permission, but the outlet doesn't appear to have been honest about its origins. I've asked them to unpublish my articles; I have no issues with Iranian outlets republishing me, but I'm not okay with dishonesty about their nature. 2/3
I received no payment of any kind from the outlet, and they never said anything about connections to any government. In the interests of transparency and posterity, here is the email US Journal sent me asking for my permission to republish, and my response to them. 3/3

This is the guy who used his media connections to start the "Caitlin is a secret Nazi" conspiracy theory last year. For months he's been spreading the lie that I use sock accounts. I don't use sock accounts, this is my only account, and my husband has no Twitter accounts at all.
In the thread I just linked to he's chumming up with an actual sock account of another stalker of mine, one who only ever posts Monday through Friday and is currently circulating the appalling lie that I made up my rapes.
They get along real well.

@aalanasir @Columbia @CC_Columbia It's infuriating to see how many people say, "He's agitated, but what he's saying is technically true." No. It. Isn't. Modernity as it is today wouldn't exist without the significant contributions of POC around the world. In no particular order here are just some of these
@aalanasir @Columbia @CC_Columbia contributions: Shirley Jackson invented:touch-tone phone, caller ID, Fiber Optic cable. She wasn't white.Garret Morgan invented: the original gas mask, modified stop lights to their current form. Also not white. Lisa Gelopter: the founding formulator of early GIF images.
@aalanasir @Columbia @CC_Columbia She's not white either. Guillermo Gonzales Camarena invented the first color TV. He wasn’t white either. Thomas Jennings invented dry cleaning. in 1821. Richard Spikes invented beer tap, automobile directional signals, the automatic gear shift. He was also not white.

I tweet about the #OpioidEpidemic fairly frequently but I guess not enough. I'm going to do a thread, in no particular order, on some facts. Much mis-information is out there. And I watched a townhall from Liberty University yesterday where the same misinformation was spewed.
Basically, where we are at is this, legit pain patients cannot get an RX and the RX's are down yet O.D.s are up. The following pieces will help explain why. And all are well sourced. So here goes. Starting with a big problem. The data is wrong. Also, govt can't fix this.

Just going to share some quotes in no particular order
"In "Embodying Citizenship," Paul Filmer linked this process to the beginning of citizenship in the early modern period in Europe. He argues,
"Through competent bodily action, the individual can bring their body to a condition in which relations with other, comparably reflexive embodied individuals can be sustained in ways stable enough to make social and political order possible."

Information skill check frames time. Thread in 3... 2.... 1...
Many RPGs have information skills. You know, like "Knowledge: The Planes" or "Arcana" or "Occult" or whatever. These are "know information about the thing" skills.

But also "Sense Motive," "Gather Information," "Investigate," and "Perception." These are "find the thing" skills.
To understand information skill check frames, though, we have to talk about why we use dice AT ALL. There are generally three reasons to use dice.

What I’m Learning About Betting in 2018 - THREAD

I thought I would update my 2017 Betting Thread as there has been much to still learn & assimilate, new people to follow & I want to continue paying it forward for others.
Betting is not easy like gumbling Twatter would have you believe. It’s hard work and what you see posted on many timelines is either selective, untrue or 'altered'. The constant winning betslips are not a true representation of reality & often cover up multiple unposted losses.
See betting as more of a hobby with the potential to earn extra treats. Earning a living as a pro-punter is difficult & rare (& an outright lie in most bios) & is extremely unlikely to be you: be realistic about what you want to achieve.
