Just to bring everyone up to date on Hong Kong from what I can gather. Police have denied all applications for marches and officially groups have cancelled their marches. Police have even issued statements that they will arrest groups of people in major shipping areas 1/n
And other places groups of people might congregate. Coming on the heels of the arrests of democracy advocates, there is deep anger. Most indications are however despite the official warnings that there will be significant marches on Saturday in Hong Kong. This matters because 2/n
Now you are effectively sitting on a real powder keg. Angry people, police denying all activity, PLA/PAP increase in troop strength with additional hardware, and Beijing wanting this to end. Pray for Hong Kong tonight. Done

Here is what do much of the world continues to miss about dealing with China in 2019 and the addition of the Trump administration. You do not negotiate with 2019 CCP China. You get told what you will do and if you do not capitulate you face the consequences. Despite hearing 1/n
From CCP shills and the ignorant, look at really any even of consequence in recent history with China and the track record is clear. South China Sea, Xinjiang, or Hong Kong reveal a pattern where nothing the other party could do would materially change a negotiated outcome 2/n
We know how China is going to behave. We know they are not going to negotiate material changes to their economic policy. We know they will not negotiate in good faith. This matters for a very simple reason. If we know this about my counterparty in a negotiation, then nothing 3/n

Me: What do you want for dinner buddy?

Six year old son: Doritos salad

Me: Sorry what?

Son: You start with salad, sprinkle Doritos on top, then add ranch

Me:
My son is now walking around the house asking people how many Doritos salads he should make for dinner. This is going to get interesting
Doritos salad. We will be completing it with a topping of Bob's Big Boy Blue Cheese. This is a high class place

So I have a few things to say about Hong Kong and it may take some time 1/
I arrived at Hang Hau at 12.25am by bus on my way home. The MTR was shuttered and there was a crowd outside shouting angrily at a line of police vans, 走啊！屌你老母！and reclaim Hong Kong, 时代革命
I’m not a frontline reporter. I generally see the protests only when they come to me. I’ve seen the videos of Wong Tai Sin, Sham Shui Po, Sha Tin and others. Still, it’s quite something when you see it with your own eyes 3/

Just now: More than a dozen HK protesters stand outside the arrival hall in the Hong Kong airport to chant slogans and repeat their five demands. “On strike, free Hong Kong!”
They have moved to line either side of the hallway from the arrival halls to the Airport Express
Earlier: Sarah Lau, 23, and Charlotte Lau, 16, said they brought homemade boarding passes to hand out to tell tourists why there was a city wide strike in HK and to thank HKers for striking today. “We are not stopping until we hear answers.”

#HonKong Thread: Hong Kong protesters abandoned Facebook for other platforms - "Facebook is not a useful tool for the movement except for those celebrities and parties, on which they make announcements and deliver statements." euronews.com/2019/07/12/hon…
The 2014 Hong Kong generation was dependent on Facebook. Now, "most young people don't use Facebook anymore & turned to Snapchat or Instagram." At the core of the issue is Facebook's algorithm, which prioritizes posts triggering an intense debate in the comments.
"In 2014, Facebook amplified the disagreements between the various "school of thoughts". EconReporter wrote. "In 2014, the movement had no experience and leaders did not know how to handle it and promote democratic decisions within it," Han Mei said.

🔸Thread 3🔸Jeffrey Epstein.
Today a judge will decide if Epstein will be let out on bond.
He has offered 75 Million $ and his brother to co-sign another 100 Million.

My prediction right now is NO bond. He is a high risk repeat offender. He has never stopped abusing kids.

The Wikimedia Foundation who own Wikipedia have, for the first time ever, personally stepped in to ban a veteran administrator from just Wikipedia for one year. No public explanation given, no option for appeal, and not even local admins were warned it was coming.
At the moment there is pretty much universal condemnation of the action from Wikipedia's community, who feel Foundation involvement undermines the normally self-regulating nature of Wikipedia. The Foundation have also left an unsatisfying "explanation":

en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?ti…
Other sites exist under the Wikimedia Foundation and they previously banned users from all sites, including Wikipedia, in exceptional cases. Temporary, localized bans were not done before this year and this is the only one to target an admin, let alone one with a clean record.

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...
