European elections sweepstake is now open. I have set up a spreadsheet to calculate total difference between each entry and the result, so please enter docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
A couple of entries predicting 45% share of the vote for the Brexit Party; the lowest is 18%
This involved summing absolute values (ABS) & holding cell references constant ($), so the least you can do is some basic guesswork & adding
European elections sweepstake: 200 entries today. Average guesses
Brexit Party 30%
Lab 20%
Lib Dem 15%
Con 13%
Green 9%
Change UK 8%

I know how to have fun on a bank holiday weekend while everyone else is watching cops and robbers on TV

I disagree with my friend @robertshrimsley: Corbyn has no incentive to do a deal with May comresglobal.com/wp-content/upl…
Failure to deliver Brexit is awkward for Labour; it is terminal for Tories. Lab will retain most of its Remain vote; Tories will lose all of Leave
A referendum is still a long way off, and it won't include a no-deal exit as an option on the ballot paper – the Commons won't allow it

This @ComRes poll on the acceptability of Brexit outcomes, from 5-7 April, is worth going back to comresglobal.com/polls/the-tele…
The most unacceptable (net) outcome is what actually happened. Not one of the six options is (net) acceptable

Is this real?
Apparently so
The Tory party has indeed disappeared into a parallel universe

Good morning, folks still following the #SAA2019 debacle. Some new info has just come in, so here's another mini-thread... (1/n)
Two of the #MeToo survivors who left #SAA2019 due to @SAAorg's failure to kick out David Yesner (who had been banned from UAA campus and the Alaska Anthro Assoc) have confirmed that they've had their registration fee refunded by SAA. (2/n)
And I also got second-hand information from an anonymous Board member that they are muzzled due to the SAA's lawyer. The lawyer has insisted that if the Board talks, they could compromise their Board insurance and open themselves up to personal liability. (3/n)

Y’all, it’s that time of year: LoveLife is starting their #40weeksofharassment campaign today in Charlotte, Greensboro, and in Raleigh.

Poll time: do I make another weekly update thread like last year?
Alright y’all. You win.

WELCOME TO WEEK ONE OF #40WEEKSOFHARASSENT! I’ll be your Sherpa of Shenanigans through this ordeal. Please keep all hands and feet inside the ride at all times. And don’t forget:
Off the bat, we have some developments from last year. The kickoff event today was not a permitted parade, and it was held primarily on the property next to the admin building.

1/ Satoshi’s Vision™ is a silly endeavor, as it doesn’t matter what it was, we are where we are now. However, those pushing the “Bitcoin was first made for payments” narrative insist on cherry-picking sentences from the white paper and forum posts to champion their perspective.
2/ The following tweetstorm is a categorical repudiation of this tired narrative. Bitcoin was purpose-built to first be a Store of Value (SoV), a thread:
3/ How do we determine Satoshi’s intention? We need to look at his ideology, description of functionality/architecture, timing, and audience. Let's start with how Satoshi describes the problem Bitcoin solves. In his first public comms after the whitepaper, in the first paragraph:

Downloaded my facebook data as a ZIP file

Somehow it has my entire call history with my partner's mum
a historical record of every single contact on my phone, including ones I no longer have
metadata about every text message I've ever received or sent

spoiler: I don't use messenger for SMS
