In my #NestaGov2019 talk this morning, I will signpost to 4 pieces of work, because not possible to talk about deep work required for knotty, complex challenges in 5 mins. You can check them out here, it’s good to elevator pitches, it’s better to have something deep behind them.

Also let’s never pretend we do any of this work alone. Any of it. Singly authoring something is my professional nightmare.
Thanks for a great morning & warm welcome @nesta_uk.

If you’re doing deep, radical, transformative work in this period of great transition. You absolutely won’t see the fruits of your labour.
Don’t get lost in people who are looking for short term returns, pointless metrics & fudging outcomes out of people to justify themselves.
You have to work liberated by the fact you won’t really ever see the real results of your work. Even though the whole system is stacked up against you, to do that.
In times like these, it’s going to be a real brutal fight. Anyone whose money depends on being vanilla, pleasing those in high office, aren’t going to be able to do what’s need unfortunately; as much as that’s hard to swallow. So stop looking for it there.

I walked into @ImpactHubBrum this morning, there was three people & a bike mechanic fixing bikes outside, numerous meetings happening every corner I turned, coffee shop full of laughter, an artist residency starting in one corner, children in the Creche, someone fixing ..
... & cleaning a Saxaphone. Some people heads down working a way, a local councillor walked in, the distant laughter of children, a large cities think tank from London in one of the meeting rooms. This is what I’d always dreamed of it being & now this is just an average day ...
... & so much bigger stuff is happening. It might have been hard, people might have laughed at what we were trying, we’ve never quite been enough for big funders, generated loads of our own revenue & not waited for grants to move, but never quite enough of anything ..

Texas's anti-SLAPP statute requires the judge to enter an order for the loser to pay the winner's attorney fees. It's not optional.

TCPA §27.009(a)

Twitter says you've @'d me 78 times since 6/11, with 20+ of them in just the past few hours

This seems like a pot-kettle moment for you

Definitely a reasonable assumption. Given Screech's perpetual word vomit on YouTube, there are likely some things he'll authenticate that would help on the merits of the TCPA motion too

Fact Check: True ✅

More or less sad AF than wearing a mask over facepaint in public?

Basically. Except using 13+ warriors at the same time to do it instead of just one 😂

1. During World War II, the US and Japan waged an extended battle for control of the Solomon Islands, including the island of Guadalcanal, in the South Pacific. I visited there over Memorial Day weekend, and have put together my own photos and historical pics to tell that story.
2. The story begins in the immediate aftermath of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. With the US battleship fleet crippled, Japanese forces rapidly advanced south to capture the Philippines, Malaya, and the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia), driving towards Australia.
3. In May 1942, a Japanese invasion force moved in to capture Port Moresby in New Guinea by sea. The US Navy threw two aircraft carriers (the Lexington and Yorktown) into the Coral Sea to stop them.

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...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
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...

Here's a tweetstorm featuring 25 things I intend to teach my 2-year old son.

[Spoiler Alert]: A bit of a surprise for those who make it to the end...

1.) You should always try to go to bed smarter than when you woke up.

For the best way to get smarter, see #2.
2.) You should read a lot. Reading makes you more empathetic & this world needs more empathy. In our house, you’ll always be surrounded by books

"In my whole life, I have known no wise people (over a broad subject matter area) who didn’t read all the time — none. Zero." - Munger
3.) Sleep more. You sleep more than 11 hours a day right now. As you get older, there will be more demands on your time and it’s tempting to sacrifice sleep. Don’t. People who sleep more have better health, sharper thinking, improved memory and many other benefits.

NEW - #Ahrar al-Sham & Nour al-Din al-Zinki have merged, creating Jabhat Tahrir Souriya, branded with “green” revolutionary flag.

- Ahrar leader Hassan Soufan = leader
- #Zinki leader Tawfiq Shahbuddin = deputy

“JTS” calls on other groups to join for greater unity.
#pt: What does “JTS’s” formation mean?

- Unlikely to be a full merger, but closer Ahrar-Zinki coordinating ties have been clear for months.

- Northern #Syria’s two biggest non-#HTS factions are compiling (with Syrian Islamic Council backing) pressure on #Jolani & HTS.
I’m told that x4 sub-factions of #HTS have agreed to join the newly formed Jabhat Tahrir Souriya (#JTS) and at least x5 others are negotiating possible terms.
