@davekarpf @MargaretAtwood 62/ One man's interrogation is another man's interview:
@davekarpf @MargaretAtwood 63/ All culture is granular. One form #RobotSoftExorcism takes is risking a word of advocacy within an event put on by a corporation that mocks the National Anthem after directing everyone to stand for it:
@davekarpf @MargaretAtwood 64/ #RobotSoftExorcism isn't just for people with modest means. It can also involve politely requesting that one not be put in a position in which one would have to decline aloud a situation in which one would appear to be normalizing predation.
@davekarpf @MargaretAtwood 65/ Exceedingly helpful account of what's at stake in our interactions with predators.
@davekarpf @MargaretAtwood 66/ #RobotSoftExorcism is not always planned in advance. thehill.com/homenews/senat…

David Dark's Brand Positioning
@DavidDark
This goes out to those for whom:
Religion is violence backed by divinity.
Religion is a backward step in human evolution.
Religion kills joy.
Religion is why you can’t talk to your family.
Religion is the state of being hopelessly stuck.
Religion is brainwash.
Religion is the old relative who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject.
Religion is a cage around reason.
Religion is the thorn in the side of common sense.
Religion will not house complexity, mystery, the unknown, or contradiction.
Religion represents death of the imagination, invention, and seeing yourself in someone else.
Religion is the elaborate disguise for Fear that gets him a seat at the table of survival.

David Dark's Space of the Talkaboutable
@DavidDark
Yes! Thanks so much 4 this ?. It was actually the guitarist of a Dublin-based, punk outfit who turned me on2 this way of thinking about it N the 80's. Asked if he was a Christian, he said it was inappropriate to say so 1self b/c it's a public verdict instead of a self-description
He cited Acts 11:26 ("The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.") & said we have to leave it to others to pay us the compliment of noting that our behavior, speech, & way of treating people is in keeping with the teachings of Jesus. The proof is in the pudding.
I try to refer to myself as an aspiring Christian who'd love to be told that I operate as if Jesus was/is my Jedi Master. "Christian" is a wonderful adjective that can be rightly—and perhaps righteously—applied to all manner of behavior among all manner of human beings.

David Dark's Religious Ceremony

1/ Reality Winner receives her sentence today for an act of conscience she undertook on behalf of our public good. The fact that this decorated veteran's life appears 2 be beneath the interest of so many remains a puzzler 2 me, but I have a theory or 2 shadowproof.com/2018/08/21/rea…
2/ I think her one wild & precious life is lost in the constellation of competing interests/platforms/brands that controls the narrative(s) of the American barnyard. Imprisoned and denied the right to tell her story or hug her mother for over a year, she's been disappeared.
3/ Our risk aversion equals her crushed spirit. I wonder if her involvement in our gov't's drone program renders her a human being indefinitely consigned to dwell outside the sphere of what we're willing to know about ourselves. Not unlike soldier suicides. #PolicyIsLiturgy

One thing I've found very curious in popular discourse around language in India is that language contact is reduced to the process of loaning words; this incredibly fascinating linguistic phenomenon is reduced to its lexical aspect. This ends up obscuring all the amazing stuff
that language contact makes possible, these perspectives it offers us. Lexical borrowing is probably the least interesting form it takes, it's also the most superficial in many ways. Doesn't take much for a literary register to borrow vocab from a prestige language - the vast
volume of English words that have made it to Indian languages is a great example.

People borrow words all the time, sure, but imagine influenced by a language so much you start modeling your own *grammar* and sound systems after it. Way cooler than just borrowing words right?

Practical way of approaching an #Interview.
(A guide to an exceptional performance for your next interview.)

Thread.
1. Know your resume like the back of your left hand.

Ever gone for an interview and you blank out when asked the question “tell us about your background?” Don’t worry it happens to most of us.
Or they ask a question related to a part of your resume and you begin with “erm erm”
As simple as it may seem, knowing the entire info on your resume from your objectives to your experience gives you 'un-matchable' confidence.

It’s okay if your resume was drafted by a professional CV writer. You should still take time out to digest its entirety.

Master of the Unseen

"One #ArabianNights tale concerns an evil blacksmith who repented his ways and, as a result, found that he could handle fire and forge metal with his bare hands -- thus, a 1/2 creature with protection from Red."

Sick with fear that his glorious realm will pass away, the Caliph Haroun persuades the Sandman to take the city into dream, where it will live forever. In similar fashion, City in a Bottle removes all Arabian Nights cards from the game, except itself
Several characters in the folktales of original #ArabiansNight rub fishliver oil over their bodies to gain the ability to breath under water.
