356/ 5/24 UFO lobbyist @SteveBassett: "The Disclosure event is coming & it's the biggest event in human history... It's almost impossible to measure it."
If ETH is true & UAPTF hearings lead to #disclosure, he's spot on.
If ETH is false, UAP are prosaic🤷‍♂️

357/ @SteveBassett said his UAP media archive 1000+ articles now, & that he's reading them all.
My assessment is that he's tracking the political rhetoric & deconstructing the 60k foot strategy better than anyone else right now.

358/ @SteveBassett to WaPo's @AshleyRParker: "The American people may hear from their govt the biggest truth, ever relayed, in a formal way to the human race... Now if you’re going to start truth-telling, to regain trust, why not start with a big one?"
359/ Attn: #UFOTwitter UAPTF is moving into a political phase towards hearings now.
@SteveBassett points out it was WaPo bureau chief @AshleyRParker who wrote the June 1 piece on how UFOs are the most bipartisan issue right now in agreement to investigate.
ImageImageImageImage
@SteveBassett @AshleyRParker 360/ Interesting to see @EricRWeinstein do some truth of reconciliation in admitting he was wrong for being a staunch UFO skeptic, he apologizes, commits to listening more, & thanks the patriots & scientists who reached out to give him an early heads up.
ImageImage
361/ If you only read one summary of UAP Task Force preliminary assessment, then @NewYorker's Gideon Lewis-Kraus has the most comprehensive & coherent synthesis I've seen so far.
Great writing & analysis + a nice shot at Mick West.

362/ 2004 Tic Tac UAP witness @DietrichVFA41 responds to @neiltyson's anti-intellectual mockery of UFOs. Tyson either hasn't read the UAP preliminary assessment or he's willingly contributing to the "sociocultural stigma" that Dietrich is fighting against.
ImageImageImage
363/ I debated @MickWest's UAP hypotheses on @LuAngeles' Unidentified Celebrity Review.
I called for more nuance & skepticism in his public declarations + to consider broader context.

1/ THREAD covering @Meta's #MetaConnect, which is starting now.

I'll be covering all of the announcements, watching all new videos, & reading all of their press releases. They usually dump a ton of new info

Follow here: facebook.com/events/6307993…
Or here:
2/ Zuckerberg saying we're going to be taking another big step forward with VR after walking through a history of VR tech since the Oculus acquisition.
3/ @boztank talking about some ecosystem stats for VR apps.
Philosophically they want to make ecosystem more open & how some apps have onboarded via the App Lab. Will push towards openness.

1/ Starting now is the #ARVRPolicyConf22 led by @XRAssociation & @ITIFdc.


I'll be tuning in & covering the talks in thread🧵👇

I expect the framing will be business-friendly as XRA is a trade organization representing Meta, Unity, MSFT, Sony, & Google.
2/ @XRAssociation's Liz Hyman opens the #ARVRPolicyConf22 & mentions they just launch a 4-page #HowXRWorks infographic yesterday called “Into the Digital World: XRA’s Guide to Immersive Technology”
xra.org/howxrworks/
3/ Reality Caucus co-chair @repdarrellissa gives the opening keynote at #ARVRPolicyConf22.
delbene.house.gov/news/documents…

Says that they were able to include instructions for immersive technology for the National Science Foundation & insert AI language into the THUD bill.

Meta is rolling out their Meta accounts today.

They’re introducing a follower model option, which will be interesting to see how that works with a medium that is primarily synchronous.

Blog overview
oculus.com/blog/getting-s…

You can still use Oculus acct on Quest 1 until 2023. ImageImage
2/ I migrated my account and made it “Open to everyone” to follow + “Anyone can see this profile.”

Friends are now called “Mutuals” and folks who you’d don’t follow but follow you are followers who can track your activities.

See
store.facebook.com/help/accounts/…

store.facebook.com/help/quest/art… ImageImageImageImage
3/ The new language around Mutuals as Friends and “follow requests” is confusing.

A “follow request” should really be named “mutual follow request” as accepting a “follow request” is the same as accepting a friend request.

“Should I let this person follow me?”= friending them. Image
