This is for all the guys who are afraid of coming across as creepy and who let that immobilize them when it comes to dating:

I HAVE TRIED TO INCLUDE A PHOTO IN THIS TWEET LIKE 493,248,204 TIMES AND @SubstackInc IS STILL NOT LETTING ME I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE JUST READ THE ARTICLE HERE ARE PHOTOS I TRIED TO ATTACH
Frankly it's a bit frustrating that some men have kind of willfully misunderstood what is and is not creepy and have, instead of learning to read social cues, decided to say that they simply cannot tell what women think is creepy!!!!
That's not *exactly* what the above post is about, but I think it's unfair for men to abdicate any responsibility for learning to read the room under the guise of respecting women TOO MUCH.
It makes it seem like women are upset that they've been asked out by nice, well-meaning guys who got to know them over the course of a conversation, who politely asked, "would you like to get a drink sometime?" & then were chill when they got turned down. That. Hasn't. Happened.

folks! It's perfectly normal to feel unreasonable, small, petty things!!! We all do!

That doesn't mean you need to act on those feelings.

I feel like women especially are told that feeling competitive or insecure about another woman is anti-feminist or means that you’re vapid and petty whereas when men feel competitive it’s talked about more positively.
The truth is we all have people who bring out our most insecure selves simply by existing and it doesn’t make you a bad person for feeling insecure !!!! You just have to be careful what you do with that insecurity/comparison.

One thing which I find equally bewildering and skin-crawlingly creepy is the sheer number of people who believe that it being legal to have sex with someone means that it is appropriate to have sex with that person.
Legality is arbitrary as hell. Nothing makes someone more appropriate to date/fuck on their 18th birthday vs being 17 years and 364 days old.
I just feel like that’s a huge part of the general conversation missing right now. (Not from the Jeffery Epstein situation specifically or anything; that was not 18 year olds anyway). Like you’re still gross if you’re 48 and hitting on a 22 year old. You’re gross.

There is literally no way around the fact that we have to change our personal buying habits in order to survive climate change as a species. People get so caught up in the idea that individuals *shouldn't* have to make changes because it isn't our "fault," that the world warmed.
But it is. It is our fault that we still import SO MUCH from overseas. It is our fault that we demand high quality produce and meat to be constantly and cheaply available.
middle and upper class people HAVE to change their habits. We have to stop taking cruises and flying in planes. We have to stop ordering 18 shirts from Amazon and trying them on at home and then returning a bunch. We have to stop demanding that our stores have 487 cereals.

1. Today I wrote a story about the only place in the world where Google has to operate in a competitive search market. Russia. And the reason is because the Russian antitrust agency did its job, and did it well. mattstoller.substack.com/welcome
2. Here's the Russian search engine market. Notice how there's competition. There is! There are two big search engines. Yandex, and Google.
3. Yandex was started in the 1990s by some Russian engineers, at roughly the same time as Google. Google was an awesome search engine, and began dominating the world as it expanded starting in 2000. googlepress.blogspot.com/2000/05/google…

1) Since @nic__carter analyzed and classified cryptoassets launch styles & funding in his master's thesis, the pace of innovation has been staggering. Buckle up, here is a detailed thread on cryptoassets’ launch styles & funding experimentations since 2009.messari.io/c/research/mes…
@nic__carter 2) First of all, I want to link to @nic__carter’s amazing master’s thesis, coinmetrics.io/papers/dissert…. Even though many things have evolved since he published it in 2017, it stays one of the most detailed, structured and broad report on cryptoassets I’ve read to date.
@nic__carter 3) Let’s start with Fair Launches. A Fair Launch means that there was no premine, the coin was mineable from the start of the blockchain, and the launch was announced publicly. Examples include Bitcoin of course, but also Dogecoin & Monero.

Just last night, @realDonaldTrump shared a Trump Org tweet promoting—

Ferry Point.

@realDonaldTrump @1100Penn @npenzenstadler Last night a gala was held to celebrate students who committed to enlist in the U.S. military after graduation. It was held at—

Trump National D.C.

Major General Scott Dingle addressed the recruits.

1. Liberals are fond of accusing the GOP of being all talk and no action. This was how some saw John McCain. While the late senator had hard words for the president, he nonetheless sided with him virtually every chance he had.
2. To some liberals (not all), this meant McCain and the GOP were all-in for Donald Trump. Their words were meaningless.
3. But words are rarely meaningless. They have impact. It’s just hard to comprehend what that impact will be. During the 2016 election, Republican elites were mostly though mildly critical of Trump. After the election, it seemed to many liberals that that was meaningless.

1. The most important thing about the leaked audio of US Rep. Devin Nunes saying the Republicans must keep the US House to prevent the Democrats from impeaching the president is *not* this: evidence the party deserves defeat in November’s midterms.
2. We already knew that. We already knew, as the Post’s Jennifer Rubin said, that House Republicans “exercise no responsibility, it’s always about the party, it’s always about protecting the president and never about doing their constitutional obligation.” thehill.com/homenews/house…
3. The most important thing the audio tells us is this: what the Republicans think is the most important thing to say to the base. Remember, the recording was made during a closed-door fundraiser for US Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, chair of the House GOP conference.

Cool, j'ai un exposé à faire sur un article de Virginie Julliard : #ThéorieDuGenre : comment débat-on du genre sur Twitter ?
Fun car ce sont mes binômes qui ont choisi le sujet et que ça tombe direct dans mes intérêts. Je vais faire un LT, ça me servira de notes !
Hypothèse du papier : Twitter produit un débat spécifique, en raison de ses propriétés & de la manière dont les utilisateurs s'en saisissent
