SUPER THREAD

I've been collecting book recommendation tweetstorms from my favorite people over the last several months. Thought I'd share with everyone in this tweethurricane(?). Please add to this list if I've missed anything!
amazing recs from the rarely-tweeting @pmarca

even more from the rest of @a16z

Obama's book (and movie/music) list from 2018 has been the starting point for many of my book lists

Amazing thread kicked off by @patrickc

Some great people sharing their book backlog in @rsarver's thread

Read these and understand everything! via @sknthla

Another good thread started by @sknthla (it's clear she reads A LOT)

Some good fiction and graphic novels in here. via @_waleedshahid

.@jenzhuscott read a lot of good stuff this year

check out @lalizlabeth's @airtable spreadsheet of her books from 2018. She even specifies author gender! Awesome stuff.

Lots of Bible recommendations in this one via @APompliano

Not a lot of recommendations on this thread yet, but @gerstenzang is spot on with the question. We need to understand the environment better. Add recommendations if you have any!

A few good books from @justinkan

Going to slide my list in here, but truthfully, it was heavily inspired by the other lists in this thread.

I spent some time developing a framework for deciding which books to read (and which to avoid) as well.

1. New #Qanon post. It's all coming out as Q told us. Paul Ryan and No Name received Dossier from Steele in fall 2016. Paul Ryan part of massive plan with Brennan and No Name to prevent @realDonaldTrump from becoming President, and to try and remove him after he was elected.
2. Why would Paul Ryan retire otherwise? He wouldn't. He is relatively young, and considering the age of most congressmen, he had many years left in politics. Q told us Ryan was finished months before he resigned. He was forced out based on his involvement in the "coup"
3. Republicans who were complicit have been more quick to retire than Dems. Dems know they're screwed one way or the other if @potus Trump stays in power. The Dems know they are finished as a party once FISA is declassified and all the evidence of treason, child trafficking, etc

I understand this Tory Brexit is bad. It's entertaining to watch as the government slowly collapses before our eyes. But I think we should take a minute to look at what's been happening to vulnerable people over the last few months.

A thread. Pay attention @RuthDavidsonMSP.
Recently we learned that the Home Office was trying to force two disabled children to leave country. Experts say this breaches UK and UN law.

A UN inspector found Tory austerity to be "ideological" rather than facts based, saying the two-child benefit limit is like China’s one-child policy and ministers were like “a group of misogynists”.

Thread: On Chinese Spying in the US

1. Most of my past threads on the Chinese plan for world domination (there are MANY rolled up for reading!) have focused on economic aspects, i.e., One Belt, One Road (OBOR) and “Made in China 2025.”
2. In some of those threads, I touched on other aspects, including the astonishing improvement in their military and space capabilities, theft of US intellectual property, corruption/capturing of US politicians, and use of influence agents in American cultural institutions.
3. I also did a thread on Chinese economic espionage and cyber spying which laid out their overall goals and objectives.

Over the last several months, anti-regime demonstrations have rocked #Iran, keeping the Islamic Republic off balance as it fends off internal challenges to its legitimacy. thefederalist.com/2018/08/02/uni…
Conditions have reached a crisis point: the value of the national currency has plummeted, and Iranians suffer hours of daily blackouts and water shortages in dozens of major cities.
Once again, Iran is at a turning point. Nearly four decades after the revolution that brought the mullahs to power, social media allows Iranians to partake in global communication—and that experience has changed them tremendously.

Whorearchy
A thread
First and foremost I’d like to give a shout out to the BRILLIANT word whorearchy. As a person with a passion for words (why yes, I did use behooves in a recent tweet, thank you for noticing) I love a pun, a play on words and especially completely new words.
Whorearchy is a word that’s used to describe elitism within the sex industry. Merging whore and hierarchy to create a unique word describing something that permeates every section of our industry.
Basically if we boiled it down to one simple sentence it is this:
Whorearchy is the self perpetuated class system of sex work, dividing those with privilege and those without.

Thread on the @xychelsea shitstorm. First, read this: mic.com/articles/18758…
The first two things you have to understand about the Alt-Right/Lite are that 1 most of their figureheads are obsessed with fame and 2 they lack firm commitments to any actual principles.
Many of the leading Alt-Right/Lite figures don't actually care very much about politics. And they assume that no one else does either—that is, they assume that leftists are just playing the same game they're playing, only on a different team.
