btw, if any other journos targeted by layoffs are getting masses of “learn to code” harassment, it was coordinated on 4chan (of course)
only the best people :)
they found my instagram joke about yogurt, how will i ever recover
this sad little swarm of parasites doesn’t bother me much but if you enjoy me pissing off the worst people on the web consider a tip at paypal.me/TaliaLavin
unsurprisingly, the also-rans at gab are getting in on it, based on the absolute fiction that journalists told coal miners en masse to “learn to code.” there’s a collage of articles about EXTANT job retraining programs for miners going around, but these people are, well, idiots.

More often than not, the Supreme Court has been an avenue to uphold discrimination. This ruling on trans rights is a Plessy vs Ferguson for our generation, and we should oppose it as such. In the interim I stand with my trans brothers and sisters without reservation.
Trans rights are human rights. The right believes they can win this legal and cultural war because of the left's general apathy on #transrights. Trans rights are not a frivolity; they are central to a coalition of the marginalized. History will judge us by our actions now.
This is a concerted war against a tiny minority of the population that deserves our protection, our respect, and our fiercest defense. Make no mistake -- it's an attempt to divide and conquer that we have to fight. Protect our #trans brothers and sisters and foil the plot.

anyone who hasn’t been a teenage girl probably doesn’t understand how completely routine and ubiquitous it is for teenage girls to be preyed on, courted or groomed by much, much older men
i’m not talking about just aged 18 or 19 either
i mean, look at roy moore, ffs. but don’t fool yourself into thinking it’s “alabama backwardness” either. it’s everywhere

“Learn to code” was the little wise crack Obama heartlessly said to coal miners.

It’s now thrown back at the Journalists that gave him a free pass for 8 years.

But sure, everything the Left doesn’t like is “alt-right”
We should turn this around and say “Learn to mine coal”
The funniest part is that the Left is saying if you quote Obama it’s “alt-right”

Learn the art of noticing & not being vocal about it.

This is how people who see the game 10 steps ahead, move.

They understand everything doesn't require a response.

Strategic silence is deadly.

This group notices, makes necessary adjustments & keeps it moving.
'Do you have an example of when strategic silences are used?'

Yes.

In spotting human intentions.

'Huh?'

It all begins with 👇
Every human out there has an intention.

Their intentions for themselves are crystal clear.

They want the best for themselves.

But with you?

That's where their intentions get hazy.

Positive news regarding the #harassment I have received in recent weeks from #transgender hostile "feminists". Tonight I have been informed by Hertfordshire Police that they arrested a 38 year old woman from the Hitchin area on suspicion of harassment and malicious communications
Following an interview whilst in custody the suspect has now been released under investigation whilst further evidence is gathered from seized electronic devices #transgender #harassment
In due course a report will be submitted to the Crown Prosecution Service with a view to charging the suspect with harassment and malicious communications. #transgender #harassment

0s and 1s commonly create speech that courts use -- that means precedence is set. #Code is speech -- they're languages made of bits! Point being, ISPs shouldn't be allowed to deny computer speech from being seen by others. #NetNeutrality

Evidence in thread:
#NetNeutrality Evidence case 1: Bradley v. State: @Facebook evidence used to ID assailants and other witnesses. Its compelling because translated bits were used to ID people. It proves third party intermediary bits translated into media are used by courts. scholar.google.com/scholar_case?c…
#SaveNetNeutrality Evidence case 2: Homeland Security v. Twitter: @DHSgov seized data that was digitized and sent to intermediary @Twitter. Twitter sued its an ongoing investigation. Regardless, It appears consumer's translated bits were treated as speech? clearinghouse.net/detail.php?id=…

Reza Zarrab watchers: We're less than an hour away from Day 2 of testimony. On Weds., we heard of a "45 to 50 million" bribe to Turkey's economic minister and "a few billion" in complex bank transactions. Day 1 recap here, & some thoughts/updates to follow courthousenews.com/turkish-gold-t…
* ex-economic minister - I ran out of room in the tweet for additional context, even with 280 characters. Lots of revelations.
