1) Stop this stupid emotional-support damn FOLLOW BACK party or whatever! You are playing the right wing's game, you idiots! This is what an open and a closed network look like:

nature.com/articles/s4159…
2) If you have to think to connect the dots between "follow back party/demand" and "enclosed network structure, please start reading instead of texting. I'm serious.
3) "Strength in numbers/crowd" had NOTHING to do with following people back, which only creates an ENCLOSED NETWORK STRUCTURE.
4) Political action and activism DEPEND ON an open structure. Therefore, you need to FOLLOW HUB ACCOUNTS and have only people you know as followers. If you don't understand this, than you are certainly part of the problem.

1) "“It’s an interesting and thoughtful paper,” says Paul Sackett, a management professor at University of Minnesota, who was not involved in the research. “

2) "To me, the right interpretation of the work would be that it highlights a need to understand what high-IQ leaders do that leads to lower perceptions by followers,” he says. “The wrong interpretation would be, ‘Don’t hire high-IQ leaders.’ ”
3) "The study’s lead author, John Antonakis, a psychologist at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland, suggests leaders should use their intelligence to generate creative metaphors that will persuade and inspire others—the way former U.S. President Barack Obama did."

@_hockeyStuff 1) I would, if I could (I like the sound of this expression): it's not like there is any dialogue anymore in the world. The greatest feat of the global right wing cabal was the complete neutralization of any actual public conversation.
@_hockeyStuff 2) The public conversation is an interesting and non-consensual idea, rather than a concept. But everyone agrees on some basic required items:
- availability of actual information about "subject X". We are the microscopic privileged minority that can actually dig down...
@_hockeyStuff 3) ... or through the massive flow of communication and identify either factual information (sometimes embedded in persuasive discourse) or disqualify dis/mis-information. The "masses" are now, more than ever, excluded from any access to factual accounts.

1) The profile picture issue.
It was bothering me for a while. My adult natural hair color was light brown reddish (according to my mother "dirty blond red"). Then came the white threads of hair around 2005 and I started using highlights.
2) Nobody even noticed. It became slowly "blonder" but still, nobody noticed because before my pregnancy I was blond (I'd say dark blond) and as a child, very blond. 👇= 2011
3) It became gradually blonder and blonder, I fucked up by straightening it for pictures and it ended the bottle blond disaster on the great picture my sister took that became my profile picture because it was the most "pro" pic. 👇= 2013

Nature just published a comment by @Peters_Glen and I pointing out that the high-emissions RCP8.5 emissions scenario – with its 500% increase in coal use by 2100 – is increasingly unlikely in a world of falling clean energy prices. nature.com/articles/d4158…

A thread: 1/11
RCP8.5 was never intended to be business-as-usual. It was originally selected to represent roughly the 90th percentile of no-policy (after 2005) outcomes in the literature. In the intervening 15 years it has become increasingly unlikely. carbonbrief.org/explainer-the-… 2/11
While some scientific papers correctly contextualized it as a very high end scenario, others referred to it as business-as-usual or indicated it was the current pathway that world was on. This traces back to poor communication between energy modelers and climate scientists. 3/11

-Bring Neo-Nazi friends to #Kashmir
-fill o/w empty schools by forcing compulsory exams for 60k students
-Stage sycophantic pictures/tweets

Dear #India, why work so hard?According to u hasn't Kashmir been normal all along?
Imp Thread👇🏾
22 out of the 28 @Europarl_EN's members visiting #Kashmir are far-right MPs who are visiting India in a private capacity - organised by an NGO (2/21)

france24.com/en/20191028-fa…
#India is orchestrating the visit of these far-right politicians to show the world that #Kashmir is normal despite India's illegal actions in Kashmir; especially given that India is facing extreme international condemnation on this issue. (3/21)

To celebrate the impending 10th anniversary of @GamesDoneQuick , I've taken the liberty of compiling a list of 100 of the best runs showcased throughout its history. I'll be adding one run to this thread every day until the 1st of January, which marks ten years to the day.
Some caveats:
* No, these aren't literally the best 100 runs. How do you even measure that? But they're all runs I think leave their impact on the event's history.
* Obviously I haven't picked any of my own runs - but there are some I commentated on, and felt privileged to do so.
* I've got at least one run in here from all 20 live events to date - CGDQ, all 9 editions of AGDQ and SGDQ, and last year's GDQx. No JRDQ or HRDQ, sorry!

Also I won't be adding anything from the upcoming GDQx, which is this weekend, but you obviously should watch that anyway!

Just now, the dormant yeast I collected this week from Ancient Egyptian artifacts (with help from @drserenalove and @rbowman1234) is being fed grain for the first time in four and a half thousand years. Here is the story: #AncientBaking @ClubYeast
I’m sure this raises a lot of questions in your mind, including “how do you know it’s ancient,” and “why would a grown man waste his time with this.” Well, if you have nothing better to do, i.e. no paint to watch dry and no taxes to file, read on...
First, and foremost, why? Well, I am Egyptology hobbyist. The written record in hieroglyphs allows us to hear directly from our ancestors, from *thousands* of years ago, in their own voices. It’s incredible and moving to me, to hear them, to be able to feel close to them.

de tweetstorm die terugkwam, deze keer netjes gebundeld zoals het heurt:
lichte en zware voorwerpen vallen even snel, dacht Galileo al (als je even buiten de luchtweerstand rekent)
1/20
gek eigenlijk: andere natuurkrachtenkrachten dan de zwaartekracht -magnetische krachten, statische elektriciteit- werken helemaal niet zo.
2/20 #equivalentieprincipe
Hoe zwaarder een voorwerp, hoe harder zwaartekracht trekt. Dat is de zware massa. Maar ook: hoe zwaarder een voorwerp, hoe trager het op gang komt, dat is de trage massa. #equivalentieprincipe
