At #MSBizAppsSummit trying to give this #CringeWorthy #WomenInTech panel the benefit of the doubt. They chose a white actress #GinaDavis to #keynote a #DiversityInTech chat. Hmmm. #refactrtech #womenwhocode #DiversityAndInclusion @RefactrTech @Microsoft
Gina Davis: we don't have enough #female #rolemodels [in tech] so we need to make them up [in film]. If she can see it she can believe it. Me: #BS there are many awesome #womenintech who could be speaking here. Still trying to give this keynote a chance.
Gina Davis on #metoo: Just don't take your dick out and we'll be fine. Me: that's a pretty low bar. #Refactrtech #womenintech #womenwhocode #DiversityInTech #MSBizAppsSummit
Not much about increasing #Diversity in #technology in this talk. #MSBizAppsSummit #disappointed #refactrtech

So many "my friend is marrying an unpleasant jerk"letters recently.
I know, abusers isolate people, but at a certain point, "You married someone who acts like a jerk to all your friends, it's not a mystery why your social calendar is shrinking" HAS to sink in, right?
Adopting the hissing jerk cat who scratches everyone but you is a sweet story...FOR CATS.

"I know my sexist super-try hard spouse interrupts everyone and can never be wrong and cheaps out on the check, but he's nice TO ME, alone, at home, why can't you jerks accept him?" NO.
"My friend is dating the embodiment of fingernails on a chalkboard, do we have to go on joint vacations as a couple for the rest of time"

u do not

Dear @Comey —

1. Within Christianity, grace is understood to be bestowed upon us by the Creator — not extended between persons. This is not “grace.”
2. Jim Baker would perhaps be better served — and be of better service to us — by meditating on Christian “righteous anger.”

1/x
I appreciate Baker’s openness about his struggle figuring out how to live during the Trump era without hating.

Many people — including me — have been wrestling with this challenge.

But make no mistake:
Trump and a significant portion of his supporters are NOT.

2/x
However, when Baker invoked Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail” to justify his decisions, I fear he has missed the point of the letter altogether.

I hope that folks find my social media timelines marked by trying to give encouragement and helpful information. I'm sharing public speaking tips in today's thread:
Have you ever wondered how to time your talks? Most folks talk 100-125 words per min. If you transcribe your talk ahead of time, a 3000 word talk ends up being around 30 min or so depending on intro, questions, etc. Each min of mp3 audio corresponds to about 1mb of file size.
You need to do a few things if you want to become an effective public speaker:
1) Write things down. Sometimes you hear a quote or thought that may be useful later. Jot it down. (I've used @evernote for years). When something inspires you or makes you think - capture it.

Georgia’s abortion bill will send women to prison for up to ten years for having an abortion > 6 weeks. The GOP lawmakers who passed this bill were elected courtesy of votes cast on unauditable voting machines from a company whose Sr. programmer was a convicted embezzler. 1/

oh wow, Horkenbooper figured out how to solve Politics

I mean whoa Hilkentoofer is over here breaking barriers and dropping wisdom and healing the American divide

get this man to the presidency, post-haste

it is time for President Snickerdoodler to save us
*whispers* but wait who is Higgenbooger again
Out of all seriousness, I do kinda find it distasteful this idea that, "Well, gosh, we'll just have ourselves a chat and that'll solve it." As if nobody's thought of that shit before. As if it's McConnell who was just waiting for the normalcy of a chat! Gee golly gosh.

Attempts by many faithful Catholic leaders to shoehorn Pope Francis’s blatantly heretical statements into conformity with orthodoxy are not only devoid of the true charity and justice owed to the Pope, but are directly uncharitable and unjust in regard to the faithful. (Thread)
We all agree it would be profoundly unjust and uncharitable to simply /presume/ that Pope Francis holds to heresy, and seek to enact any penalty against him (setting aside for the moment his lack of an early superior) without ensuring he does in fact hold to heresy!
HOWEVER, anyone who is intellectually honest would agree that the benefit of the doubt cannot be applied infinitely, but must have an end point where the doubt is found justified or unjustified. The question is where this end point is and what it looks like.
