A thread in response to @jeffersondsmith's requests for a list of books on the history of American conservatism. First, on Orange County, the birthplace of Goldwaterite/Reaganite conservatism. press.princeton.edu/titles/10488.h…
@jeffersondsmith On the racial dynamics of conservatism in suburbanizing Atlanta (the place that brought us Newt Gingrich), by @KevinMKruse. amazon.com/White-Flight-A…
@jeffersondsmith @KevinMKruse On the business community's forever war against the New Deal state. amazon.com/Invisible-Hand…
@jeffersondsmith @KevinMKruse And here's a long thread containing links to scores of recent, excellent books on the history of American conservatism.
@jeffersondsmith @KevinMKruse Forgot one other book I mentioned in my interview with @jeffersondsmith, American Slavery American Freedom by Edmund Morgan. A classic work. indiebound.org/book/978039332…

Damn, so is Ben Shapiro, like, the Godfather of conservatism now? "Denise, we need to talk Denise. I worry that you're bringing shame on the family. You understand what I mean?"
But seriously, I wonder if Ben "I'm not alt-right but I happily hang out with white nationalist Steve King" Shapiro has had this sort of behind the scenes heart-to-heart with his buddy Steve. Something tells me...um....no.
It appears that Denise broke the first rule of alt-right club, which is, you do not talk about alt-right club.

The falcons were allowed one piece of carrion each.
In lieu of promoting my non-existent Soundcloud, I will instead promote this book which I co-edited with my colleague Richard Ellis. It will be out in the next few weeks. Sadly, it contains neither puns nor falcons. books.google.com/books?id=jXpzD…
And I just want to say here that I have no egrets about making that joke.

I'm no longer going to use the term "Trumpism" to refer to GOP political culture. I will now, in honor of one of the President's most loyal media outlets, call it Oannanism. h/t @Popehat
@Popehat I'd say my favorite show on that channel is The Beat, hosted by Harry Palms.
@Popehat Their comedy series hosted by Coannan O'Brien, however, is not my cup of tea.

When the #NSA discovered that #Iran may have been buying computer chips from the #UnitedStates routing them through a U.S. ally
&
Potentially supplying them to detonate #bombs against U.S. forces in Iraq & #Afghanistan
It credited so-called economic intelligence with the find.
The solution wasn't a death blow delivered by the #military but rather a new regulation on the export of certain #technologies via the #CommerceDepartment which the #NSA said would end up “saving #American & coalition lives.”

#Thread on the recent election from Western Kansas #ksleg Representative Adam Smith (adapted to @Twitter from his newsletter here mailchi.mp/b503f6027825/h…)
The election night map showed a significant portion of Kansas blanketed in red and only some of the the highly populated counties showing blue.
A Picture Is Worth 1000 Words

It's not always black and white... or in this case, red & blue.

The first look at the above map from the Secretary of State's website after the initial election results were complete may leave some Kansans feeling like their voice doesn't matter.

#History/#Art thread – From my recent trip to Madurai/Tirunelveli. On Jain sites (some with a rich history dating back to at least the 3rd cent. BCE), early Pandyan rock-cut cave temples (7th-8th cent. CE) & the amazing Vettuvan koil.

Pic: Mahavira (~8 cent CE), Kizhakuyilkudi
Before I start on the places, the history around all this is fascinating & splits opinion. Is it apt to call the script Tamili/Tamil Brahmi? Did it develop independently in the Tamil country/come with the Jain monks from the north? Were 8,000 Jains actually impaled in Madurai?>
>Were the Saivites overaggressive in promoting their faith? Shall only be happy to discuss on these separately (unless it gets too long/irrational). And I’m not posting every inscription from the places here, despite their importance. Again, shall be happy to discuss them.

#Thread #KeralaFloods Detailed thread to document the historic efforts of various online groups in rescue and relief operations. Trust me, Whatsapp and Google sheets were the powerful weapons we had. Pic: An online control room set by NRKs in house at Abu Dhabi (1/n)
It was the time we truly realised the power of social media and instant messaging services with regard to disaster management. Many were stranded on roof-tops without any other contact to the world other than their mobile phones. Whatsapp brilliantly solved the issue. (2/n)
Before going in detail let me point out the problem statements. 1) Govt issued some helpline numbers but most of them were busy with numerous calls 2) Thousands of SOS requests flooded in social media which were not addressed in a systematic manner, hence turned spams (3/n)

Mr. Integrity: The Legacy of Gamaliel Onosode
1. A Matter of Principle.

A quick study and a brilliant scholar, he had joined the colonial development organisation straight from the university. In quick time, his abundant talents were recognised and he was being deployed to relieve regional managers whilst technically still in training.
Still in his late twenties, he had even been given delicate diplomatic assignments that involved meeting with and influencing top regional political leaders. His already princely remuneration was growing in tandem with his fast tracked trajectory to the top.

💪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.
