That dystopian hellscape keeping you up at night? It’s more likely than you think.
Please read this thread. The first article has a link to James Hansen's scientific paper (from which the image above originates):

'James Hansen’s “Climate Change in a Nutshell: The Gathering Storm,” written in December 2018 and known as the Nutshell document, is, in our opinion, the single most important analysis currently available for general readers'

Antarctic 'ice vanishing at its fastest rate in recorded history.'

West Antarctic ice sheet collapse would mean 3.5m sea level rise.

'Warm oceans have posed the biggest threat to that ice by undercutting the ice shelves that float out into the sea, particularly the tongues of ice around West Antarctica. But surface melt could become a bigger concern, and the Christmas Eve meltdown..'earther.gizmodo.com/antarctic-ice-…

How The Sikh Youth Is Being Brainwashed - A #Thread on Information War:
I will point out the insurgencies often propagated and funded by foreign sources. They play heavily on religious division and false narratives, that all culminate to anti-India and anti-Hindu propaganda.
All are covered in local Punjabi news papers but they hardly become a big headline elsewhere in the mainstream Indian media. What will this negligence cost to India? How does the Punjabi Sikh youth get affected?
Social media, such as WhatsApp groups, YouTube channels etc. and paid advertisements, digital marketing tactics, play store -you name it- are used to spread propaganda material. For example, Dr. AmarjitSingh’s youtube channel

For nursing mothers who work, exclusive breastfeeding can be difficult. This is why pumping &storing breast milk for use at a later time is a good idea.

However, there are dos & don'ts for breast milk storage so please read this #thread to find out.
#WorldBreastfeedingWeek #WBW
1. What kind of container should you use to store expressed breast milk?

Before expressing or handling breast milk, wash your hands with soap and water. Then store the expressed milk in a clean, capped glass or hard plastic, BPA-free container.
BPA stands for bisphenol A, a chemical that has been used to make certain plastics and resins since the 1960s.

Some research has raised health concerns about BPA because it can seep into food or beverages from BPA-made containers.

You don't want your baby feeding from that.

I held a ‘deep dive’ Office Hours session [book yours - esp. if you have scaling issues - here: calendly.com/smalltimevc/co…] that highlights some issues with B2B SaaS that I see a lot ... /1

#thread
2/ the startup is somewhat customer-facing, but mainly provides back office support for SMEs ... and, a lot of those SMEs will be sole-traders.

There are a LOT of competing solutions.

So, this founder has decided that his value-proposition is:

To be the LOW COST provider
3/ so, this founder is targeting the shittiest end (sole and smallest traders) of a shitty market, at the shittiest price point possible.

And, the product (so far) requires F2F sales.

Twitter may not be the most effective place to solicit for this, but if you (or, more likely, your parents, grandparents, great grandparents) did forced labor during WW2 for ghettos under German control, please read this. #Thread
Back in 1997 there was a landmark case in Germany that determined that people who'd labored in the Lodz Ghetto would get credit toward German Social Security for that work.
In 2002, Germany codified it and said that forced laborers in any ghetto under German control were eligible. At the time (2000-2005), my full time job was as a case manager to Holocaust survivors and Nazi Victims. I did stuff like take them to the doctor, pluck their chin
