THREAD (from the Autistic Strategies Network at autisticstrategies.net): I am going to be posting a series of recommended reading and videos in recognition of neurodiversity amongst learners. Many of these are also important in the light of the education crises in South Africa.

Cuidando de quem? Crivella tb é responsável pelos danos causados pela chuva no Rio. Ele sabia que isso iria acontecer e há dois anos reduz a verba para controle de enchentes. SEGUE O FIO e confira nosso #Thread sobre as ações e falas do prefake sobre as enchentes na cidade.
Em 2017, quando a cidade viveu a primeira tempestade da era Crivella, o prefeito disse que o Rio "havia passado no teste", apesar dos incontáveis danos. O maior questionamento foi a mudança do foco do Centro de Operações da Prefeitura oglobo.globo.com/rio/crivella-s…
Na época, @MCrivella alegou cortes de 60% em várias áreas. Porém, esqueceu de contar que R$ 22 milhões que eram destinados à área de conservação e, portanto, para contenção de enchentes, foi para fazer propaganda de si mesmo: theintercept.com/2017/06/21/cri…

🕵#Thread

[#PAYtriots vs #Patriots]

Time for #AAnon to weigh in

I will make 2 points and then speak my mind

Before I start a little about me

🕵I'm a work for free Patriot/Anon on #YouTube & #Twitter

🕵To me the war on the [deep state] is priority #1

READ ALL
↙⬇↘
🕵1st point:

Taking money in this movement can hurt a person's credibility because people will start to view them as a business. Reaching out can then be viewed as marketing. Shares, likes, hits and views are then looked at as gains.

[Keep reading]
↙⬇↘
🕵2nd point:

A person making money off the movement does not turn them into a bad person. Disinformation does. If they are spreading the truth, thats all that matters. There are a lot of Patriots that want to support the work of Patriots they look up too

A Very Brief Introduction to Artificial Intelligence..... For Dummies like You and I #Thread
The world of innovative technology keeps evolving, an you have just two choices, you either be a part of the evolution or you get left behind, and trust me, getting left behind in this digital age is no way to go, why? You may not be able to do something as basic as sending texts
A lot is happening in the technological "realm", & even among the literate, these things sound like sorcery, I mean, imagine your reaction when you step into a room, and your favorite music comes on, the temperature of the room automatically adjusts to suit your body temperature

Finally got time to map these across. This is one for EU Citizens in the UK. #Thread @The3Million

The Charter of Fundamental Rights (CFR) codifies a body of case law into a series of 50+ articles built ON TOP OF the European Convention on Human Rights.
The ECHR was built and ratified by convention in 1953. Way before the EU & is distinct from it. We are not losing the ECHR post-Brexit (thus, keeping the UK's HRA)

However, the CFR is tied into membership of the EU & is often the conduit by which the ECHR is activated.
And this is a problem. Since question LS the CFR hasn't answered yet, are points of case law (yet to be determined) not statute. The CFR codifies a number of key elements of legislation (including clarification) across a body of cases across all 28 member states.

I'm going to quickly answer a series of objections that come up *literally* every time I post about the misogynistic filth (and other genres of hate) that are lobbed at me regularly for doing my job as a scholar. #thread
Objection: I'm playing the victim.

Reality: I'm accurately describing a phenomenon in which I am not at fault. Nobody deserves the hate mail I receive, absolutely nobody. Also, I'm not asking people to feel sorry for me. I am raising awareness.
Objection: Just block people who attack you.

Reality: I have blocked thousands of Twitter accounts. These is not a few bad apples but rather a society-wide phenomenon of permissibility of vile speech against women. We need to confront our demons because we can't outrun them.
