You gotta read this @hugorifkind profile of Brittany Kaiser in the lead-up to her book release. The way she disguises Chase Ergen with a fake name is so weird. Includes a book excerpt from #Targeted. #TheGreatHack thetimes.co.uk/article/britta…

Here’s a PDF of the full article about Kaiser with her book excerpt if you’re paywalled out. we.tl/t-IJ2oK4aSYa

Zuck can’t admit that his employees are challenging the business model to its core, even going as far as mentioning Custom Audiences.
Here’s the section on Custom Audiences. Only marketers and industry observers realize this is even possible. Also impossible to opt-out of being targeted with Custom Audiences. “Hiding” these ads deep in the settings is the ultimate dark pattern, a futile effort, by design.
Brittany Kaiser describes in her book #Targeted how Facebook employees embedded with the Trump campaign helped maximize use of the Custom Audiences feature to microtarget (and conceal malicious messaging).

Little Nitpick on the Cambridge Analytica Whistleblower Memoirs: Both Wylie and Kaiser make the same mistake and use “testify” in their books when they describe their appearances to parliaments. But you “give evidence” because you’re not actually under oath. #Targeted #Mindf_ck
Parliaments just assumed witnesses would never dare. That is until Alexander Nix came along and misled Parliament, the ICO… I’d assume US authorities also…although that’s not public unlike UK enquiry. Congressional testimony involves an oath but not all hearings are under oath.
Wylie testified before Congress. Kaiser was subpoenaed by Mueller and like Wylie, Kaiser cooperated with numerous investigations. They describe this cooperation with various investigations in their books. Wylie delivered binders to Congress. Kaiser delivered hard drive to FBI.

According to Brittany Kaiser’s evidence submitted to UK Parliament committee, Cambridge Analytica and Breitbart had an exclusive data sharing agreement so cookies could be matched to illict voter profiles.

CA broke UK law in US elections but Zuckerberg never acknowledged that.
ALWAYS BRING RECEIPTS:

Breitbart-CA Data Sharing

ICO says CA broke UK law in US elections

Given @slpng_giants campaign that helps thousands of advertisers block the site for its abhorrence, difficult to imagine it’s generating adequate ad revenue to be financially sustainable, almost certainly being subsidized by Mercer money. Facebook News traffic helps the Mercers.

do i want the criminals that are openly committing crimes in our white house arrested and put in prison? most of the times, yes. but then i think about how there really aren't any good paul manafort jokes on twitter anymore which makes me deeply sad.😭😭😭
yeaaah..... so this gonna be a sober tweets thread then.... cause i still need my space to tweet to myself and make sure as few people out there see how incoherent my thoughts are....basically a drunk thread with much less chance of tweeting pictures of whatever im drinking
the reason republicans keep trying to cancel everything obama did is because they are trying to cancel his legacy - the hope he gave us. they are trying to cancel our hope.

Correction to inaccurate post I made previously

Donna Brazile Posted this
I thought, there is no way "Barry" just happens to be the storm name, today

"The list includes 21 names for each year, with names for the letters Q, U, X, Y, and Z missing from the lineup. For years when more than 21 storms appear, letters from the Greek alphabet are used"
As I am running out the door for an appointment, I quickly check the source material for the list of names to confirm no "barry" storm name assigned for this year (confirmation bias). Then I looked in the wrong ocean for names.

Signs of a Nice Guy:

Agrees with everything
Giggles a lot
Fidgety body language
Talks fast
Avoids eye contact
Says 'I guess' a lot
Always asks for permission
Pushover
Closet snake
Waits for others to make decisions
Has no life purpose
Bottles up anger
'Dang you literally described me to the tee. But I always thought being nice was a good thing?'

Not quite.

Being kind is a good thing.

'Aren't they the same?'

Nah...
The nice guy will navigate around the truth because of the unpleasant feelings associated with it.

The kind guy will tell the truth despite the unpleasant feelings associated with it.

The Gift of Fear, by Gavin de Becker
"Predatory animals devour prey in order to convert flesh into fuel. Most human predators, however, seek power, not food. To destroy or damage something is to take its power. To push a pie into the face of the world's richest man is to take his power, if only for a moment."
Chapter 1 opens with a play-by-play of Kelly's interaction with a stranger. She's heading home with her hands full, when a bag gives way, and a young man appears, offering his help. He talks too much, insists on following her up, and into her home. He rapes and almost kills her.

I’m watching all of the @Marvel movies with @ThereseTheBeast, we are going in release order over the next 8 weeks leading up to #AvengersInfinityWar

Yesterday was Iron Man, we just started The Incredible Hulk now.

Updating this thread with thoughts and lists as we go #marvel
💭 Most shocking moment so far in the @Hulk 2008 is @LivTyler dating the dad from Modern Family.

Also as much as I like Edward Norton I’m just picturing @MarkRuffalo in my head and this movie is even better.
Putting @Hulk on pause to talk Iron Man.

1. I forgot how we used to talk about Marvel movies being “grounded” or “realistic” especially when it comes to color pallete and portrayal of characters or events.

The colors in Black Panther and Thor 3 have come a long way since 2008.
