Never meet your heroes.
Gally, casually brushing off sadistic threats from two story tall murder robots like they were internet trolls.
Have always loved this sequence of Alita diving into the unknown depths beneath the scrapyard.
A cameo that suggests James Cameron’s lifelong fondness for Battle Angel Alita went both ways.
Gally’s giant hair is everything.
Applying the war paint
Kodansha are aware of her name being Gally, and not Alita as it’s always been translated, but took a moment to explain why they’ve stuck with Alita for the new editions.
Battle Angel keeps rolling out.

I’m all about Gokushufudo right now. A reformed yakuza trying to be a supportive house husband to his professional wife.

This is being shared around like it’s cute, but in reality it’s the kind of invasive nightmare that makes you want to become a hermit.
Stuff you self disclose going viral has unintended consequences, now imagine someone documenting several intimate hours of your life unbeknownst to you for content. The poster couldn’t have known it would gain the momentum it did, but there’s a moral obligation to NOT DO THIS.
A vague tweet about switching seats with somebody and seeing them hit it off with their neighbor is harmless, a massive public thread shipping strangers like fictional characters is gross. Especially when people in the comments are already discovering the not-couples identities.

I’m sitting at a restaurant in Manhattan, and my life, family, and past are all hitting me in a moment forty-eight hours away from liftoff midterm night.
Fourteen years ago, sitting in a dorm room watching election night, and admittedly a little stoned, I watched the returns, provided, at that point, by one singular source.
Four years removed from 2000, that struck me- at 19- as incredibly foolish. Understand that despite my competitive talk, I don’t hate the AP. They’re a data provider-and analyzer- and they’ve been around since Arnon Mishkin was learning to drive his first dinosaur.

She knew from the day she saw him
That he wanted her
What she doesn't know was his motive
Was he one of those conquest seeking guys
Was he the serious type one can plan a future with?
She believed herself to be a good judge of character
When the time comes, she will deal
They live in the same estate
They are members of the same social club
She didn't get it
This guy liked her
She liked the guy
She deliberately made herself approachable
He didn't take any of her hints and cues
For two years
The harder she tried
The more frustrated she became
Curiously, he didn't date any other girl
He hanged around her, walked her home
He protected her interests, always aligned with her
That was it
He came to her flat with some folks one day
She was in a shower
They left
The next day they met
She got home and saw an unsigned note

Meet #Israel's #Hasbara, which means #Propaganda, MSM Censorship Application👇🤨
This app came out about last year, and it is still on the iTunes store.
The app posts daily missions & TELLS YOU WHAT TO DO AND WHAT TO SAY
#Trolls #Palestine #Gaza #BDS #JeremyCorbyn #JC4PM
6yrs ago #Jerusalem, #IDF Rep:
"we are now located in the SAME building where the Foreign Journalists are,we have close working relationships w/ hundreds of journalists. In addition we launched media project working in many platforms,twitter in Arabic, Russian, French & English."
How #Israel-i Propaganda (#Hasbara) Works: #TheLuntzDocument
If you want to understand how the #propaganda works you need to read the Luntz document -- "The Key," Luntz says, "is the Claim that the Fight is Over Ideology, Not Land. About Terror, & Not Territory."

Thread (1/7): @TheEconomist published a Special Report Titled "Fixing the #Internet", which relied on #Centralisation as its core lens

Huge victory for a technical community that has spent decade explaining how the architecture & ethos of the internet are under attack.

6 arts!
2. "But like Sir Tim, many people have recently become more critical of it (...) At the heart of their disenchantment, this special report will argue, is that the internet has become much more “centralised” than it was even ten years ago."
economist.com/special-report…
3. #Decentralisation is ultimately a question of #democracy. As digital technology penetrates society ever more deeply & the two become ever more intertwined, the rules of the former will increasingly govern the latter" economist.com/special-report…

The #threats invaded my #Brexit #genre #thread. It was supposed to be mostly fun and #FBPE-games, but the threads turn it grim . So. I'll establish this new thread of uses of the threat as genre in the Brexit debate. It won´t be a lot of fun. #forensic #linguistics #genrestudies
Before I get going, a little piece of research dissemination on threats by my good colleagues @TanyaKaroli and @MarieEBM:

Exhibit A: @cliodiaspora has had to bear a truckload of abuse and quite a few threats for her engagement. I admire her intensely for sticking to her guns. This one is ugly in many many different ways.

Damn it!
I am so very sorry to hear about Margot Kidder.
I was fortunate enough to spend a bit of time with Margot.
And she WAS Lois Lane. Or rather, what made Lois great was Margot.
Margot fought against injustice through her political and social activism.
I was already in awe of her, and that only grew as she pragmatically told me about standing up to things bigger and more powerful than herself.
