Got absorbed and distracted by a thread - only to figure out that it was created by a Twitter bot. Was about to express irritation at how such tweets clearly need to be marked as such. And then the epiphany and self-introspection 😅
Nowhere close to being capable of actually creating threads (except where a blogpost is stored & injested & split into tweets) - but still. Aware how even images, video clips, RTs and likes and quips/short-quotes can be a big distraction. Wonder what % of activity is bot-driven.

Thanksgiving is coming up, so here’s my #thread on HOW TO TALK ABOUT DIRECT-TO-CONSUMER (DTC) DNA TESTS WITH YOUR LOVED ONES 🦃🧬 #GCchat
* This thread is NOT medical advice! Ask your health providers about medical concerns! Also, I’m referring to folks 18+ since personally I don’t think parents/guardians should order DTC testing on minors. That could be a whole thread on its own, so I’m leaving kids out of this.
1) I don’t think telling people not to do things is the answer. I believe people should have access to the info they want about their health & DNA (Though informed choices are key! And I wish there was better access for more people so that DTC didn’t seem like the only option)

[Thread] 1/ Who wants to know some fun facts about #MAGA Twitter accounts? In this thread I will discuss how many MAGA accounts have existed, and how many have been suspended. I will also attempt to analyse how Twitter seems to deal with them. #impeachment
2/ Firstly, there are a lot of them. I downloaded around 140,000 Twitter accounts that contain the term #MAGA (Make America Great Again) in the biography. This is a good proxy for a pro-Trump account. As some of you may remember, most (4000) were created on January 2017
3/ This bizarre anomaly aside, after downloaded on the data, @abulkhaezuran helped me get some additional data on whether the accounts were or not. So get this, out of around 140,000 accounts, 30,370 have been suspended or are 'not found'. That's a huge 21% of accounts.

Don’t be creeped out when I tell you this. I like historic sites. Okay, that’s not the creepy part. This is: Buildings + spaces call to me. No. I don’t hear things but sometimes a feeling takes over and tells me to stop and investigate and when I do...
They lead me to fascinating places. If you’re new here, you should know that I’m currently in Memphis, TN. I’m a part of a fellowship that’s going to assist me in opening my first school. Today, a friend of mine came to scoop me for lunch and on the way there I saw something...
It was an abandoned building and the plants had taken most of the lawn over, but something said: STOP. Here’s my friend @PoeticXposure explaining it...

#Thread: If you're a young professional who doesn't understand insurance and savings, this is for you.

Disclaimer: I'm not a finance expert. These are suggestions. You should make your own decisions based on your needs.
Okay first things: You may already be covered medically and saving money. How do you find this out? Look at your CTC in your appointment letter or your payslip

Do you have something called PF on it? That's a saving!

Did HR issue you an insurance card? That's your Mediclaim.
Things to ask: How much PF is being deposited into my account each month?

What's my sum insured? Is it just me who is covered or my dependents too?

e.g. You have 3 lacs for self plus dependents (parents/spouse/child). This means upto 3 lacs to be used by any of you per year

CURSE OF KNOWLEDGE:
This is a powerful cognitive bias, and the one that's probably most responsible for you staying stuck in your dead-end way of doing things instead of breaking out.

What is it?
The mind's inability to remember what it was like to not know something.
At first glance you may think this is a relatively unimportant thing. Completely harmless.

But it's robbing you of your freedom. Here's how.

To understand, we're going to use an example from my life: Magic Tricks.

I'm a professional mentalist; I've performed in Vegas.
I know how the mind works, and I understand why the simple methods of magic are so powerful; they leverage exactly these kinds of mental hiccups. So, here's the example.

I do a trick, and you want to know how it works. You'll do ANYTHING. Pay me $100, even. Great! Pay up!
