I have a lot of projects but right now I'm especially pushing my newsletter The Erin Endeavor, which I'm transitioning (tee hee) into also being an affirming space for political engagement in an impossible age.

Birds of Prey meta: What if Harley has an unrecognized metapower to borrow luck from herself? That's how she can pull off things like the garbage bag bankshot or Mjolniring the baseball bat, but also happen to run under the window of a woman whose nose she broke.
In some DC Comics, the Joker displays a milder version of Deadpool's medium awareness, not just narrating and interacting with his own narration but also things like remembering un-canon events (like intercompany crossovers)
My headcanon is that the Joker is actually fully aware of the comic book in the same way that Deadpool or She-Hulk is, he just considers it vulgar to constantly mug for the 4th Wall. (Which is implied by She-Hulk a few times in the serieses where she's not leaning on it.)

So the precinct assault/Fun Gun scene in Birds of Prey is one of my favorite action sequences of all time.

I loved the glitter shells we saw in the trailer, but it's another detail that seals it for me: the bean bag rounds.
We get a loving close up of an actual bean bag like would be used in a carnival game being shot at high velocity.

If you don't get the significance: cops have in their arsenal a "less-lethal" "riot control" munition called a "bean bag round".
If you watch the movie, Harley displays throughout it a distinct preference for melee weapons. I believe in the DCUO game, she's even the exemplar for big swingy fighting style.

Heads up: It looks like Twitter may be testing out a change on some accounts that, like Facebook, will make posts format different on screen based on their size? So short posts have a larger and bolder font. But it also breaks the display in weird ways on at least some phones.
Putting phone in landscape seems to be an annoying workaround, if you get hit with the update. Using your phone's browser to reach web Twitter might also work, though it's possible there's a similarly broken update waiting for you there.
Note that Twitter doesn't roll out changes to every account at once so "it's not happening to me" isn't useful information you need to share here.

Il voto non e' truccato.
Chiunque viva in una città 5stelle sa che il popolo dei meetup e dei militanti più fedeli è fatto da cattolico-liberali o post-comunisti liberali eletti grazie al voto di una massa di sottoproletari incazzati neri.

#Rousseau #governogiallorosso
Massa che non è certamente registrata su #Rousseau.
Li puoi trovare su Facebook, su Badoo, su Pornhub, su Tinder e addirittura (pochi) su Twitter. Ma su Rousseau no.
Su Rousseau trovi i lettori di Marco Travaglio, i professionisti, le prof di filosofia iscritte a Legambiente.

Reddito? Medio alto.
Hanno scelto di tutelare il loro reddito.
Auguro loro di aver scelto bene, non sono così certo che la mannaia colpirà solo le auto diesel dei poveracci che bevono bevande poco salutari (e quindi da tassare).

#Puntland region of Somalia is the only entity that demands establishment of clan borders in the Horn of Africa.

#Somaliland, #Ethiopia, #Djibouti and even #Somalia reject ethnic borders, so why does PL insist?

The answer lies in #Puntland's demographic problem.
It appears that in the absence of reliable census data post the Somali civil war, #Puntland has managed to successfully inflate their population figures in published estimates by various orgs.

In reality, this region has always been the most sparsely inhabited area in the horn..
For starters, the region we refer to as #Puntland today was historically known as #Majeerteenia pre and immediately post the union of #Somaliland and #Somalia.

So, yesterday's anger over @NicolaSturgeon and @S_A_Somerville betrayal of trans people over #GRAReform has crystallised into white-hot fury

Yet again we've seen another Government ignore the voices of the trans community in favour of cis voices who don't have the first...

clue what it's like to be trans and unable to gain easy access to the basic human right of legal recognition via a simple, permissive process

The claim was made that 60% of people supported a self-declaration system for obtaining a GRC, but this is false

2/n
Trans respondents overwhelming supported (from memory >90%) a self-declaration model and, as we are the only people able to obtain a GRC, our voices should have been given weight. Instead the @theSNP decided that cisgender voices should, for some unknown reason, have...

#Thread During #KeralaFloods many of the people lost their crucial documents. It was a big mess to recover these documents since they don't even remember the document no. Hence, Kerala IT department came up with an API architecture to retrieve the documents. (1/n)
The idea was generated jointly by IT secretary M.Sivasankar and KSUM CEO Saji Gopinath. The target was to retrieve the documents by taking the basic inpit values known to the public. It startes working last day (2/n)
Incase of Aadhaar, govt will take your biometrics as the input value to generate E-Aadhaar if one doesn't remember the ID number. This will be pushed into Digilocker account created. Also will get a print out for free of cost. (3/n)

THREAD: earlier I tweeted about Jesse Singal's long history of writing fearmongering anti-#trans/GNC #children articles (+ also treating me & other trans women shittily): #transgender #LGBTQ #health #psychology
...Here I will "live tweet" Singal's latest Atlantic article, which is in the same vein as the others. If I was teaching a journalism class, I'd use this latest article as an example of how to write a highly biased piece that comes across as "fair & balanced" as possible...
...and since people unfamiliar with this subject will no doubt be unaware of all the misinformation & biases at work here, I'm gonna do math to it! I'm dividing it into 14 sections, each of which begins with its own header (aka, giant capital letter)...
