Instagram is up, Twitter and Snapchat are slightly down
Twitter is less popular than YouTube, Snapchat, or Instagram among young people, but 44% of young people use Twitter, which seems like a lot!
Then again, Twitter seems to have the least frequent usage of the "big four", which is surprising because it feels much more addictive to me!
Interesting tidbit: WhatsApp and Instagram skew pretty strongly towards Black and Hispanic users. Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube are more balanced.
Reddit's poor showing on this survey are interesting, because I've seen other surveys saying that Reddit has more daily active users than Twitter: thenextweb.com/contributors/2…

Maybe Reddit is just more engaging?
Anyway, you can see all this data and more right here! pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019…

Today's @bopinion is about Japan.

A new imperial period, the Reiwa period, is beginning. Where is Japan headed in this new era? And where does it need to go?

First let's talk a little bit about the Heisei period - the 30-year era that will end in a couple of weeks.

The Heisei period began with a lost decade

During the 90s, Japan's economy stagnated, but its culture and international prestige flourished.

Internet Guy: Where was the sci-fi future I was promised?

Me: Star Trek says we have massive riots in 2024 and a nuclear holocaust in 2053.

Internet Guy: What about Back to the Future II?

Me: We have videoconferencing, the Cubs won the World Series, and Biff became president.
Internet Guy: But where's my flying car?

Me: They exist, nobody uses them.

Internet Guy: Intelligent robots?

Me: Siri, look up "intelligent robots"

Internet Guy: How about the Matrix?

Me: Well we *might* be living in it already.
Internet Guy: But I want to fly on a starship!

Me: Have you ever smelled the air on a submarine?

Internet Guy: How about personality upload?

Me: For that, you need a personality...

It’s apparent that #Twitter is an unhealthy place to discuss #antiJewishBigotry & age-old slurs of dual loyalty, recklessly hurled by @IlhanMN to essentially stir up worst examples of extreme hate. 1 /
.@NitaLowey #IlhanOmar manipulates outcries against #antiJewish prejudice by twisting words & inventing stawpeople, as in, fake arguments criticizing #Israel is not “...” — when that wasn’t even the issue! She’ll accuse #Jewishlawmakers of vile charges & when ppl object... 2/
.@NitaLowey ... she will raise unrelated, FALSE issue of, I’m being attacked because I’m #Muslim. She’ll FALSELY claim, I won’t pledge allegiance to #Israel... when noone has asked her to. All to stir up twitter mob which does NOT represent proportion of real life views. 3/

So, the past few weeks has seen a growing public awareness in the UK of how the far-right, especially the religious far-right, in the US likes to operate, and likes to use willing, if witless, pawns to do their bidding.

The name that's been making the headlines recently...

is The #Heritage #Foundation. But what, exactly, does The Heritage Foundation espouse? What is it's driving ideological foci?

And the answer to that, if you care one iota for women, or for LGBTQI+ people, is grim to say the least.

This is an organisation that states:

On SOGI (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Laws):

"SOGI laws are about forcing all Americans to embrace—and live out—certain beliefs about human sexuality. They are not about protecting the freedom of people to live as LGBT, but about coercing everyone else to...

🕵#Thread

[#PAYtriots vs #Patriots]

Time for #AAnon to weigh in

I will make 2 points and then speak my mind

Before I start a little about me

🕵I'm a work for free Patriot/Anon on #YouTube & #Twitter

🕵To me the war on the [deep state] is priority #1

🕵1st point:

Taking money in this movement can hurt a person's credibility because people will start to view them as a business. Reaching out can then be viewed as marketing. Shares, likes, hits and views are then looked at as gains.

[Keep reading]
↙⬇↘
🕵2nd point:

A person making money off the movement does not turn them into a bad person. Disinformation does. If they are spreading the truth, thats all that matters. There are a lot of Patriots that want to support the work of Patriots they look up too

With the Bitcoin bubble finally popping, I am hoping that people will learn some lessons from it. So let's look at this video of a "mining" entrepreneur tearing down his mining facility and ending his "dream".
We'll stop along the way in 1637, 1844, 1929, and 1972. And on November 8, 2016. Because I think there are some useful historical lessons here.
As little time as I have for Bitcoin nonsense, I feel a lot of empathy here. If you have ever shut down a business, it sucks. All that work, all that care. Now represented as garbage the landlord wants removed pronto. When you just want to say in bed for a month.

So, the other thread I was talking about at the beginning of the week and, sadly not about Vagrant Story or Farscape.

One of the questions I see pop-up again and again is why do TE*Fs (note the wildcard placement, there's nothing radical about these #Fuckwits) have such...

hatred for #trans #people?

Well, if we step back a little and change how we look at the patterns of behaviour, and look at those behaviours in a different paradigm, one more associated with personal relationships, TE*F behaviour and attitudes have a depressingly familiar...

pattern to them.
