Throughout the day, I typically get these kinds of notifications.
Well, not 5 minutes ago, I got a notification that was nothing more than the title of an article:
"Sociodemographic characteristics of missing data in digital phenotyping"
Not their typical zippy clickbait.
Wish I'd have taken a screenshot of it.
I clicked on it.
Of course.
And it took me directly to this article (l. photo) on nature.com.
Normally, it takes me to their site, then links me to a full article (r.), so clearly this was sent out in error.
Also, it's never ever a scientific report.
Ever.
So I started reading.
Of course.
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK???
Now, full disclosure, I just started reading this, but from what I have gathered so far, it is all about how to use an open source research platform called Beiwe to collect even more of our information while tracking us—in the name of PUBLIC HEALTH.
Now, I know they've BEEN doing that, but this is expanded.
And what is Beiwe?
Well, I'm digging into that now.
For one, it's a sun deity.
Awesome.
And in 2013, it apparently received the...
(I can't make this shit up, folks)
NIH Director's New Innovator Award.
So, I'm going to jump feet first down this rabbit hole now.
Of course.
I'll keep y'all posted on this thread, so bookmark it if you're curious.
@elonmusk I've been on Twitter in one form or another since Demi and Ashton were tweeting each other from the bathroom.
I think the more you can make people like me feel like we are invested in Twitter Blue, the more successful it will be.
It's us versus the advertisers.
1/?
I come from the world of print mags. I know there are 2 main ways to generate revenue: ads and subscribers.
If it is via ads, they will ALWAYS try to dictate content. My mags were casino gaming niche pubs. Trump was one of our main advertisers back in his casino mogul days.

The more we included our subscribers in special events — poker cruises, VIP subscriber clubs, slot tournaments, ask the editor columns, etc. — the more revenue we generated from them.

Let's pretend you've got a global agenda, of... say... 17 goals that you want to achieve by... ohhh... 2030...
And you would make that happen AT ANY COST because you're a psychopath...
2/3
Would you be able to come up with ANY SCENARIO that would better serve you in achieving the first three goals...
3/3
... than this scenario, implemented on a global scale, all at the same time, in a perfectly coordinated execution of the mother of all plans right here?
I'm a GenX Gal, and I was a drama geek in high school, in Orange County, CA.
I remember being chased through the streets by ignorant jocks because I had my openly gay drama friend in the car with me. They'd have beat the shit out of us had they caught us.
That was a reality.
People forget, we fought HARD to do away with LABELS in the 80s.
The Blitz Kids, "fathered" by Bowie, led the charge.
And there was one, united message to the movement:
Don't slap a label on me. Love me or hate me based on who I am, not what I look like or whom I sleep with.
