I’m working on a fun project with some parts 3D printed. Therefore, I need to design it in CAD. That’s why I’m killing time on Twitter: to avoid the pain and frustration of using @Autodesk’s insanely powerful/terrible Fusion 360. 1
@autodesk Every time I use Fusion 360 I feel like the most powerful person in a 60 foot tall mech suit, stomping across the land, then, stopping to check my nav, I accidentally rip open the suit, tear off my arms, smash my chest, break 17 bones, and collapse in a heap, weeping in shame. 2
@autodesk Just to make the subtext completely clear: @Autodesk could make Fusion 360 a delight to use without sacrificing any of its power. If they cared to. 3

I’m am shocked/notshocked that so many people are rising up in anger over the notion that there should not be billionaires. They all seem to be deeply offended that I want to take away their right to a living. 1
So, I did a little back-of-the-envelope calculating and here’s my proposal: Nobody should have a net worth greater than one millionth of the US annual GDP. 2
The current US GDP is at 20.5 trillion dollars, so one millionth of that is 20.5 million dollars. That should be enough for anyone. What the hell, lets add another zero just to be generous: set the upper limit at 205 million dollars. 3

So, Republicans are endlessly reasserting: If the House impeaches, the Senate will not convict, so why bother to impeach at all? 1
But we know that republicans generally invert the truth…so, the conclusion I draw from their rhetoric is that they are terrified because they know that the Senate WILL convict. 2
If the republicans were really confident that the Senate would acquit trump, they’d be all gung ho about impeachment, but they are not. So, Congress, GO FOR IT WITH GUSTO! 3

I’m all for alternative energy. But not all energy is the same. Gasoline is easily portable, storable, and immensely powerful for its mass. Electricity can’t be stored (in significant quantities), takes expensive infrastructure to store, and isn’t as powerful as gasoline. 1
Electricity can’t be stored. When you turn on a light switch, the electricity that powers your light is being generated somewhere on the grid at this exact moment. Wind and solar, while wonderful, are not always available, so they cannot replace fossil sources. 2
What’s more, peak electrical usage is around dinnertime, just about the time when solar’s contribution is dropping to zero. 3

Okay #Twitter, I need your help.

I am working on a baby project called, LoPark, which helps to identify, and unlock safe and secured parking spaces across the city.

I am looking for a Tech co-founder who desperately wants to solve the city traffic.
LoPark means, Location Based Parking and the mission is to
1) Reduce the mental stress, time, and fuel burnt while parking (nearly 30% car owners burn fuel while finding a parking spot)

2) De-congest roads that are blocked due to illegal parking
3) Incentivize establishments by monetize non-occupied car park space.

If you believe you can help to solve this problem, do DM me. Or connect me to a friend you has the talent and skill to execute this idea along with me.

Please do share this thread for De-congested roads :)

📊#Time for monthly #stats

Good news! #ISIS activity on @Twitter decreased again in June: 7 195 new 🎯That's 12% less compared to May.
Again, 88% of these accounts were hacked: old, inactive, weakly protected.
They could easily be frozen in bulk. 😐

Thanks everyone!

📊Time for monthly #stats

In average, we found 240 new #ISIS accounts per day in #June2019 (May: 263). Always the same guys, coming back again and again, spreading mostly the same propaganda month after month.
A bunch of losers...

#opiceisis
📊Time for monthly #stats

Less good news now. With 6 903 suspensions for 7 195🎯, the outcome (96%) slightly dropped again, by 1%.
@TwitterSupport provided a lower service this month for #ISIS accounts removals, both in terms of quantity...

It’s #Monday, I’m boozing it up at a 4 seat bar, the #barkeep is a long pourer, and I’m all fucking set if I get something stuck between my teeth.👇🙃 #RandomThoughts #drinking #OutAndAbout
Shooting the shit with a friend, she’s proud to be doing well with her plants - unusual for her.

The key was a #video explaining the benefits of pruning.

She needs REASONS. She got them.

Apparently, pruning in a particular manner stimulates growth hormones.
#RandomThoughts
Of course, this led to me initiating a discussion about the #movie I just watched on Hulu, called “The German Doctor.”

The main character was Josef Mengele. #ThisHappened

People, this is why I’m known in my circles as “The Black Hole Of Conversation.” SMTH

Faceless Women For Popehat

1/
Judge: Mr. Avenatti this Court will be appointing counsel for you.

Avenatti: Who?

The instrumental theme of @LRCkcrw ATPL plays louder and louder

Judge: I’ll appoint Ken White

Avenatti: But he’s a nobody! Everybody calls me and tells me so!
2/
Meanwhile somewhere in the greater LA, @Popehat is giddy in anticipation of the funnel cake he is about to order from the food truck.
Suddenly, Ken is struck by a sharp, stabbing pain behind his ey that will not relent causing him to return to his office without funnel cake.
3/ As our hero returns to his office to sit in the dark. He is informed that he has a call.

Judge: Ken, I have appointed you as counsel for Mr. Avenatti.

@Popehat: But your honor, that’s not a good—

Judge: I DONT CARE! ITS YOUR TURN!

While this was a truly beautiful thread, I must correct the inaccuracies about the life of great King Jaja of Opobo with a short thread of my own.
First, all respect to the people of Ibani and Opobo, and permit me to speak on the history of your Chief and King (respectively) Jaja, as an amateur historian, and a successor of his in the Ijaw institution of War Canoe House Chieftaincy.
Jaja was not born Ijaw. He was not born Efik or Ibibio or Isoko, or any other a Niger Delta nationality. He was born Igbo, in a village in Amaigbo.

1/ #Design your audience:

1. Curate the initial community with the right audience
2. They, in turn, create the right feedback loop
3. Don't ignore the designing of the community

2/ #Design your audience:

E.g. @dribbble allows only community-nominated 'prospects' (bit.ly/2yRH4OI) to content. This ensures the best and relevant content

#startups #designthinking #productdesign bit.ly/2tBK3FR
3/ #Design your audience:

I would go a step beyond. For optimized network effects of a consumer #productdesign, you need to design the dynamics of consumer interactions.
