In today's civics lesson: we live in a pluralistic society. That means it's okay for people to disagree about important things. His political view isn't unreasonable, and while I don't agree with it, it's not a big deal that he holds it.

I mean, it's not as if he liked the DC comic universe more than Marvell, or something similarly offensive.
"I understand what you are saying, but this issue is different!"
Which issue?
"Well, all of them."

It's only a human rights violation if you start from the premise that prosecution of Assange is unjust. However, if they are justifiably prosecuting Assange for crimes other than journalism (like hacking), then it's the same principle as any other crimes.
We've had the system for 200 years where a Grand Jury can force people to testify. You never complained about it before as a "human rights violation", so I don't believe it's suddenly become one now that Chelsea and Julian are involved.
When the Mueller and Congress issues subpoenas forcing people to testify against Trump, I don't hear complaints about "human rights violations".

The only measure of whether Assange "deserves" something is what he's actually charged with, which is in this case conspiring to help Manning hack computers.

If you think he deserves to be jailed for "hacking" because he did something else, then you've got it wrong.
Conversely, if you think he deserves NOT to be jailed for hacking, because he's a journalist, because he's fighting the Man, then you also have it wrong.
I personally don't like this charge. It sounds like something that can entrap well-meaning cybersecurity professionals. While he may be technically guilty, I wonder if the DoJ would prosecute normal people for it if they weren't notorious like Assange.

Lessons in anti-science: don't believe he evidence, but instead, believe the priest we call "Scientists". I mean, the globe is warming, but your belief in that should be driven by heeding the evidence, not by heeding the scientists.
Another lesson in science is the difference between objective evidence and subjective opinion. That the globe is warming is objective data, such as the satellite record pictured here. Whether this "catastrophic" is a subjective value judgement.
The problem we have with vaccines, climate change, and other issues based on science isn't because THEY reject the science, it's because activists like Neil deGrasse Tyson reject the principles of science, and instead argue the issues using principles other than science.

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

Great job Officers. Your lives come first

Okay some people may disagree w/ me but someone has to say this & I'll be that someone. What the heck was he thinking, that's just asking for it, play stupid games win stupid prizes

I'm w/ our Men in Blue! Blue lives matter... aka #MIB
Take a second and follow me, I do follow back.
I’d be willing to bet, that most of the shootings go down like this one, Not the officers fault at all.

I want to talk about detransitioning, as transgender, as someone who detransitioned at one time, and as someone who has supported others through that process.

Because the panicked narrative surrounding this isn't serving anyone.

So, some thoughts. In the form of a thread. 🧵
First off, this is not a thread that's going to talk about statistics. Not because I don't value research, but because the world that we live in is changing rapidly — which means the experiences of transgender people, as they move through the world, are changing rapidly too.
Stats can't account for the cultural & medical context, esp with older research. People who are transitioning right now are having a very different experience from those even a decade ago. Different surgery results, different levels of discrimination, both of which impact regret.

Banyak banget yang nanya, ngerjain startup tu asik ya? Gw share dikit ya ilmu gw di per-startup-an selama 13 tahun terakhir. Bakal panjang ya jadi sabar-sabar ngikutinnya
Gw yakin banyak banget di sini yang ngebayangin jadi kaya Mark Zuckerberg gara-gara nonton the social network. Bikin startup tidak seindah itu, apalagi jaman sekarang, PENUH PENDERITAAN. Iya lo ga salah baca. PENUH PENDERITAAN. Tapi bukan berarti ga asik kok sob nanti lo liat
Pengalaman startup pertama gw dimulai tahun 2005. Startup pertama gw adalah sebuat software house. Jaman itu masih ngenes lah. Kenapa ngenes? Itu jamannya masih kalo lo di bidang IT harus bisa jadi superman yang bisa segala macem dan dibayar serendah mungkin

TRUMP CHANGED HIS HEADER PHOTO… again. It may sound silly to mention it, but it IS important. Here’s why… (Thread)

We focus on his tweets – which is reasonable, considering how they could affect the entire frig'n planet – but when it comes to his header photos, we should 1/16
remember the old saying “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Trump spends an inordinate amount of time obsessing over his header photo. He’s like an adolescent teen, sometimes changing it twice in a week. His choices are telling. Let’s start at the beginning, for his first 2/16
header photo, Trump chose one of his inauguration… except that it was wasn’t his. The photo was taken during OBAMA'S inauguration. Trump changed it to a flag an hour later after being called out, & again after that, to one of himself gazing out the window, probably wishing 3/16

Every day next few days I'll share one #depression/#anxiety insight from my own experience. If it helps anyone a wee bit, it'll be worth it.
1. "#Happiness" can scare #anxiety patients. In our heads, things are always going wrong. Fear of a "happy" moment undone is doubly painful.
Sorry, this won't be a daily affair as I had earlier imagined. But here's insight #2 based on my brush with #depression/#anxiety.
