I've written about the Center for Immigration Studies, which is part of a network that started out as a "population control" group but has rebranded itself into "hardline immigration" over concerns of, I kid you not, Latin Americans' "high breeding rates"

Here's my work on CIS etc. over at The Place That Shall Not Be Named on this topic, which I had hoped would serve as a warning of sorts. I'm really tired of their pseudoscience being treated as legitimate by the mainstream press.

Here's CIS (and FAIR and NumbersUSA and ZPG and English Only) creator John Tanton begging the Weingart Foundation for money in 1991:
Please note, also, that he created a publication called "The Social Contract." Sounds responsible, right? Well, it's not: adl.org/blog/anti-immi…
I reckon this language might sound familiar now to anyone who has been paying attention lately. Remember, American immigration policy is being run by "population control" eugenicists. Their language reflects this.

I don’t have insight into Beck as a chief but I did lose at least half my hearing when someone threw an M80 at him while I was interviewing him. Went off next to my head. The story was about what had gone down in MacArthur Park a day or two before. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_MacA…
He was deputy chief under Bratton at the time and was handling the terrible press after LAPD beat up a bunch of protesters and kicked the shit out of some of my coworkers in the process. My hearing never did come back in that ear.
This is a pointless story, but it’s also why I can’t hear in one ear and I think of that, and of what happened at MacArthur Park during an immigration protest that May, every time I see his name.

On genocide-denial, red-brownism, and British academia—a thread.

The man on this far-right, anti-refugee youtube channel spinning an insane, victims-blaming conspiracy theory about a chemical attack in Syria is a professor at @UoBrisSPS @BristolUni
The man is using his credentials as a Bristol University academic to absolve Assad of the horrific chemical attack on Douma. Assad's responsibility for the attack is well-established, and confirmed last March by a comprehensive @OPCW investigation. opcw.org/media-centre/n…
Long before the OPCW reached its considered judgment, the facts of the attack were already established by journalists, witnesses, researchers, and open-source investigators.

[thread] 🙏 Tips on how to "control" where Twitter crops your image previews! 🙏

Twitter's cropping will automatically try to focus on the clearest, biggest, most contrasted TEXT of the image. It's hell for artists, but we can use it to our advantage.. kind of!

TL;DR below
If there is no text, it will try to find a face. But without a realistic style, it will just go to whatever it thinks is a face, or just a random high contrast area.

To avoid that, a good trick is to place an obvious watermark near where you want the crop, like so:
This will most likely fail if you place text somewhere else in the image, though.

For example, when publishing a book cover, since the title of the book will probably be big and readable, it'll focus on the title instead of the watermarked area, like this cursed crop:

1/Respectfully @NPR I take issue with one sentence in this report: n.pr/2AALqsg Calling The Center for Immigration Studies “Nonpartisan” isn’t IMO accurate. #immigration
@NPR 2/The Center for Immigration Studies was founded by John Tanton, a man who at the very least pushed hard immigration polices and at worse is a white supremacist bit.ly/2AA83gm
@NPR 3/Krikorian quoted in your article as non partisan, said after the Haitian earthquake that crippled Haiti in 2010, "My guess is that Haiti’s so screwed up because it wasn’t colonized long enough,”
