interesting, I would not have predicted this. I would've predicted that it wouldn't have done very well. I wonder where I went wrong / how I'm mistaken
Probably a relevant data point: the director is ethnically Chinese. To be precise, a Malaysian-born Chinese guy who grew up in Australia and lives in LA. This sort of dude definitely grew up doing tonnes of code-switching and is IMO likelier-than-not to be uncommonly perceptive
A friend pointed out that "also, Aquaman maps out quite nicely over chinese mythology – re: the underwater kingdom and the dragon sea king", which, TIL en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ao_Guang

step right up for another storytelling adventure from visa and jon, of the struggles of Small Business Hero(es)

there are over 80 slides in this, I'm going to leave out about half of them (the statistics and stuff... if you want you can look them up, I'll link to it at the end)
it's extra poignant for me to re-read this now that I'm a feral free agent myself

define success for yourself, don't let other people define it for u
our hero is inspired

(keep it simple!)

I didn’t quite realise until watching the Reputation stadium tour on Netflix: Taylor Swift is a religion
I’m not really joking
Choosing to work the 🐍 into her act and brand (it’s what her haters were calling her) is a particularly genius move. Doesn’t take a lot of cleverness to come up with it; it takes savvy, conviction and persuasion chops to execute on it

So many people have all sorts of explanations for why Britain can’t be like Singapore but hardly anybody seems to grasp the number one reason:

We are smol

We have less than 10% of your population and we’re physically smaller than London

A brief tale if I may. Today is kind of a sad day. In about an hour, my work of almost exactly 20 years gets turned off. Last spring we decided to hand over our company website to a 3rd party for dev & maintenance. "My" website.
As some of you know, I work at Kinnikinnick Foods, 1 of the original gluten free companies. KF was started in 1991 here in Edmonton. My mom was diagnosed with celiac in 1987 & there was nothing much commercially available to eat. She found KF & the products were like nothing else
At this time, I was living in Calgary and while I was making some art, my main thing was in a band, recording and trying to succeed playing original music on the prairies in the 90's.

In case @hmkyale + @drjrums wonder why I got so shirty about JAMA article calling for #SDOH mining from social networks like, say, Facebook (shirty evidence here: threadreaderapp.com/thread/1075892…) allow me to expound. #cyberwoke
First, ICYMI, Facebook's treachery against patient + #MeToo communities in wake of Cambridge Analytica cock-up reveal. PHI revealed in what members thought were walled gardens? NOPE. cnbc.com/2018/07/11/fac… #HBOC #cyberwoke
Then there was the #MeToo community - 10s of 1000s of members - that got its plug pulled when they complained: wired.com/story/how-a-me… #cyberwoke

Now I'm coming back to this world though @reactjs because of my new engagement @thoughtworksbr

#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.

WHAT IS THE STEELE DOSSIER?

The Steele Dossier was a hastily cobbled together justification for two things:

1) to justify the spying on Trump's campaign team PRIOR to Mike Rogers shutting down NSA SIGINT database mining for Trump Team comms up to April, 2016.
2) to justify RESTARTING intelligence community intercepts of Trump campaign/transition team comms by proffering the dossier to the FISA Court by claiming Trump team members were foreign agents serving Russia.
We don't know exactly when FBI subcontractors began to be used by the DOJ/FBI Hillary/Obama/DNC nexus to mine the NSA SIGINT database for Trump campaign team comms & then to submit Sec. 702 unmasking requests to reveal the names of Trump team members in the intel incercepts.

So. Yesterday Donald Trump talked to the press in two separate events, one semi-scheduled and one unscheduled.
This is what Trump does when he's in full on "NO ONE UNDERSTANDS ME" mode, when he's raging against the world and everyone around him.
Think of it as a pressure relief valve. You remember the story about him hating everyone in the White House...
