Thread: I find this hilarious on many levels. TFG is so clueless about business and politics that he thought tearing up a piece of paper at his desk would keep said paper out of the the National Archives, the courtroom, and the public domain.🤣

It's not all that different from Nixon choosing to record his own conversations as some kind of insurance policy then being forced to hand them to investigators. He even had his secretary claim she accidentally recorded over certain key parts.

Criminals are DUMB.
I've seen people in places I've worked pointlessly tear up paper before putting it in the bin under their desk. It was a sign not to trust them with anything important. My own shredding went through the shredder by my own hand.
TFG not only tore up paper as if that was gonna destroy evidence, he evidently didn't realize others were taping the pieces back together again.😂

A bit like assuming a state elections official isn't recording your phone call.

Thread: Whoopi Goldberg's lack of education concerning racism

The thing that bothers me the most about her many attempts at clarifying what she said, is that her attitude is just to accept what her critics have said that "corrects" her view.

That is so intellectually lazy.
I think Whoopi Goldberg said this to get the criticism to stop.

What we actually want her to do is spend at least 100 hours quietly studying the facts about the Holocaust and at least 100 hours quietly studying current academic definitions of racism in general.
I spent way more than that number of hours studying these topics in recent years. My reason was so that I could *understand* the issues more deeply & be able to have more informed independent thinking about them.

I'd wager many have done the same in the #BlackLivesMatter era.

Thread: Ukraine, Jan 26, 2022

Just felt like sharing my thoughts on this buffer zone country that we (NATO and friends) need to keep on our side, against Putinism.

EIGHT years after losing a chunk of itself to Putin's Russia, and untold lives.
In the early stages of this (so far) 8 years long conflict, I was pissed af about Putin's aggression in Ukraine, and the apparent inability to stop it and restore lawful boundaries.

Like probably most of us in NATO-world, I then drifted on to following other global issues.
In 2016 I wondered what all the fuss over Putin was about. I had, unwittingly, allowed a brainwashing campaign to affect me. At some time in 2017 I awoke from that nightmare and realized he's not some teddy bear figure we can ignore. Then in 2018 the Skripals were poisoned.

Today Jan 23, 2022 is 2 years, 1 day since I heard about the looming pandemic (see tweet below.) So far in New Zealand only 52 deaths among 5 million of us.

But, today is the official start of our Omicron wave.☹️

But, note our 🔝 vax rates.
NZ is often unique in the world. Our claim to fame this time: largely keeping Covid out of our islands for two years.

Skill, character, and luck were involved. Not just the luck of geographic distance. We had to work hard, and we did.
Pandemic response geeks like me will watch NZ over the next 60 days with interest.

We're very highly vaccinated, at the start of the Omicron wave. Granted, our boosters program is lagging, but our 2-shots rate got up to 95% before 5-11s became eligible LAST WEEK.

Thread: Pope Francis is very unwise to say this.

I think the reasons for choosing to be childfree are complex & primarily economic. Also, people are more likely to avoid human relationships altogether, bc of societal/cultural changes since the 80s.

nytimes.com/2022/01/20/opi…
As a woman past childbearing age who has always chosen to be childfree, I have heard admonishments like those of Papa Frank more times than I care to remember.

So I know how repugnant and hurtful they can be. Esp. to those who don't choose to be childfree.
I'm talking about being called "selfish" for not having children.

And there is only reason the Pope said this. A very simplistic belief that not having enough workers and taxpayers places the survival of retirees and others in jeopardy.

Good to see!

Australia and NZ rely on the success of our Covid vaccination programs to save as many lives as possible. One unvaccinated person can't do much to harm us but a global household name athlete can.

Thank you, AU govt, for standing firm. #ANZACs 🇦🇺🇳🇿
So many ironies in this saga, including the fact AU & NZ military personnel served in the Balkans as "peacekeepers" during & after the 1990s wars there.

The current Serbian gov't & expats in AU were vocal in their support of "Novax" Djokovic's recent attempts to break AU laws.
As a New Zealander, I get it. When you have a small country (Serbia 7 M, NZ 5 M) you want to show support for your greatest athletes, especially when they are at crucial junctures in their career.

The pandemic changed everything.

Public health laws have always been available:

Naturally I condemn the actions of the Colleyville gunman, & all affected are in my prayers. Unfortunately this statement includes the claim he released the hostages & they "were not rescued."

Bad idea to say that. Law enforcement spent 12 hours rescuing them. Thank you 👮‍♀️.
The family's statement is otherwise constructive and well written. As tempting as it would be for a family to immediately say their deceased brother had thoughtfully released the hostages, they cannot know that. And they contradict their opening words "we can't say much now."
The paragraph condemning all religious bigotry motivated violence should not have specified a hypothetical Jewish attack on other faith groups. Like so many initial family statements, this one said too much, which ends up negating the whole statement.
