I'm old enough to remember when responding to objective research with an orgy of straw-manning was primarily the province of right-wing climate change deniers. Sadly, some blue-check lefty "journalists" have adapted the technique to attack studies they don't like.
(Here's the actual article, so you can read and judge for yourself.)

Eventually I'll learn my lesson and block at the first disingenuous reply rather than bothering to try to interact. Until that day, it's empirical data gathering, right?

When you're a Twitter botnet looking to become a sugar daddy or mommy, it's only natural that you'd piggyback on trending hashtags like #HongKongProtests in order to peddle your salacious non-sequitur spam.

cc: @ZellaQuixote
@ZellaQuixote We searched for tweets containing "sugar daddy", "10 babe(s)", and "spoil", yielding a network of 82 accounts. All but nine were created in 2019; most in the last two months. Many have their location set to cities in Nigeria.
@ZellaQuixote Here's the combined tweet schedule for the 82 sugar daddy accounts. Although the accounts are active round-the-clock, the activity is heavier at certain times of the day and the schedule is more consistent with Nigeria (or a lot of other countries) than the USA.

We recently posted a thread about @MStenphen, a stolen valor account impersonating EUCOM deputy commander General Stephen Twitty. We ran across several more such accounts whilst perusing the followers of another account of interest (@WhytchesThyme.)

cc: @ZellaQuixote
@MStenphen @ZellaQuixote We found eight additional stolen valor accounts, as well as several other bogus-looking accounts (including an Anthony Scaramucci impersonator.) Are there more fakes lurking among those accounts' followers and followees?
@MStenphen @ZellaQuixote We ended up with 31415 total accounts by mapping the follow relationships of the initial set of fakes. 1663 (5.3%) look automated based on 24/7 schedule/use of automation services. Japanese accounts are rarer than they were among @MStenphen's followers.

Donald Trump Jr. made the claim early Sunday morning that Twitter was "allowing" #TrumpBodyCount to trend but not #ClintonBodyCount (which did trend briefly Saturday morning, prior to #TrumpBodyCount.)

cc: @ZellaQuixote
@ZellaQuixote #ClintonBodyCount did indeed generate more traffic than #TrumpBodyCount (268783 tweets vs 153176 tweets between the news of Epstein's death and Junior's tweet.) How does the trending algorithm actually work?
@ZellaQuixote Twitter hasn't published the math that determines what trends, but they make it clear that it's based on a topic experiencing a short-term INCREASE in volume, rather than overall volume. (This makes sense - otherwise mundane topics that come up every day would always trend.)

In April, Alberta, Canada, will elect a new provincial government. Many may be unaware that the current @rachelnotley govt has adopted a globally significant #climate plan. Here is what's in it, what it has done, and what is at stake next month. A THREAD #abvote 1/24
First, where did Alberta’s Climate Leadership Plan plan come from? (George Soros, perhaps? Foreign-funded radicals?) No. It came from Albertans. A volunteer panel led by @andrew_leach spoke w 1K residents in-person and heard from 25K+ online. 2/24
The panel also engaged with 350+ stakeholders and met w Aboriginal Peoples in three cities, and received hundreds of detailed submissions from NGOs, industry groups and others. 3/24

Old enough to remember when Twitter was a social network to optimize engagement. It is now the anti-social un-network to suppress engagement.
Here's a blue check Antifa guy advocating physical assaults on @pewdiepie fans. Clear advocacy of violence. Specific threat vs specific ppl. Will he be shadowbanned/suspended "to keep people safe?" #AskingForMyDeplatformedFriends

Chelsea @xychelsea Manning has entered the United States Courthouse where a judge will decide whether to hold her in contempt for refusing to testify against Assange.

Reporter: "Is it possible that you aren't walking out those doors after this hearing?"

Chelsea: "Yes."
Ahead of the hearing, I asked Manning what she thinks of these hearings being conducted in secret (no press/public allowed in).

"I have a history of having to deal with secrecy and a lot of these sort of secret proceedings. They tend to favor the government," she tells me.
Here's @xychelsea's full Q&A with the abysmally small group of press that showed up. There was one NBC U crew, one anarchist with a camera, one guy I don't know, and me.

@czar_nicholas_ @HdxAcademy Actually, I've never made that direct and specific claim. But all of your major donors, over $20,000, are conservative organizations, no?

Actually I've done some research on several of them.
@czar_nicholas_ @HdxAcademy So let's start with the Einhorn Family Foundation. They support Ultra right-wing organizations like the Heritage Foundation, the neocon Commentary magazine, TFAS and they accept donations from the right-wing Bradley Foundation. All partner organizations to the Koch Institute.
@czar_nicholas_ @HdxAcademy Next, the Thomas W Smith Foundation, longtime partner of the Charles Koch Foundation, that helped to fund James Otteson's presidential chair in business ethics at Wake Forest and the Eudaimonia Institute there also funded by Charles Koch.
