I want to do a little partly AI generated thread to push against this narative, partly from respect for our mothers and partly becasue we need more women politically active. I'll start with the UK and the 100 years of the suffrage movement and the persistent rejection from men for women's suffrage 1/
The women’s suffrage movement began in the uk around 1830 and full suffrage was granted to women citizens in 1928. The following is a summary of the bills that were introduced in the 100 or so years.
Key Legislative Rejections (1830–1928)
1832 Reform Act: Explicitly defined voters as "male persons", legally formalising the exclusion of women from parliamentary elections and defeating early petitions. [1]
1867 Mill Amendment: John Stuart Mill proposed replacing the word "man" with "person" in the Representation of the People Act 1867, which was defeated 196 to 73. [1]
1870 Women's Disabilities Removal Bill: Introduced by Jacob Bright, it passed its second reading but was ultimately destroyed in the committee stage under pressure from Prime Minister William Gladstone.
The "Annual" Private Bills (1870–1914): Suffrage measures were brought to the floor of the House of Commons nearly every year, resulting in the House voting on the division of women's suffrage 19 times before any measure finally became law via the Representation of the People Act 1918.
The Conciliation Bills (1910–1912): Three separate bipartisan compromise bills designed to extend the franchise to a limited group of women were sequentially defeated or dropped by the government.
Post-1918 Equal Franchise Attempts: Several bills seeking to lower the voting age for women from 30 to 21 to match men were introduced and rejected throughout the 1920s, until the Representation of the People (Equal Franchise) Act 1928 finally achieved equal universal suffrage. 2/
Men not only violently fought women's rights advocates in the streets, and sexually assaulted them, powerful men like Lord Asquith actively delayed women's suffrage against popular opinion in the parliment. Now for the US 3/

자급자족의 시대. 이미 직접 만들어쓰는 앱의 사용 점유율이 80% 이상까지 올라감. 작년 초에 시도했던 게 정보 소비의 경로를 재정의하는 거였는데, 데이터가 쌓이기 시작하면서 새롭게 준비하는중. X도 곧 안 들어오지 않을까 싶음. RSS 시대로 돌아간다.
그럼에도 직접 만들어서 대체하기 어려운 도구들. Slack, Discord, Notion, 1Password, TailScale, Chrome 이외에 생각나는 게 딱히 없음. 아직 아이폰에서 가끔 쓰지만, Bear도 이제 작별이다.
개인적으로는 업무 환경 리모트 전환은 완전히 끝났음. 맥북은 컨트롤 타워로만 동작하고, alarm, benpro, max10, m2pro, mac512 맥락에 따라서 적절하게 일하고 있음. tailnet이 그냥 거대한 컴퓨팅자원으로 동작함. Image

It isn't just the Climate Change Act that enforces Net Zero. The law fixes the destination, Carbon Budgets set the pace, delivery plans divide the burden, spatial plans allocate geography and regulators authorise the spending. Beyond democratic control. A thread 🧵 (1/n) Image

Ever bought an AC that promised to cool at 50°C, only to watch it struggle on a scorching day?

Do flexi-cap funds also have a striking similarity with such ACs? (Because they don’t always use their flexibility)

So, let’s look at some data that may surprise you. A 🧵
Flexi-cap funds promise something simple. They can shift freely between large, mid & small caps and ride whatever trend is working.

That promise made them the go-to ‘core fund’ in millions of portfolios.

But do they actually walk the talk?
Take a look at the top flexi-cap funds’ market cap allocation.

You realise that they unabashedly stay invested mostly in large caps. Image

Am I being propagandized? Is this disinformation? I ask myself this question every single day before I analyze content and I still get it wrong and have to course correct. Luckily, I am privileged enough to have a very solid support system of brilliant people to bounce ideas off of and I am a strange person who likes to research and solve puzzles. I understand that most people don't have that much time. But there are some simple things you can do and keep in mind when looking at information to determine if it is being used to manipulate you. 🧵

Start with just four questions:

1. Are the underlying facts being claimed true.
2. Is this person's interpretation justified by the underlying facts.
3. Where did the original claim come from.
4. Is there evidence of deceptive coordination, bias or artificial amplification.

Statements can be true but missing really important content. Statements can be false without any malign influence. Statements can originate from a foreign country. Or they can benefit our adversaries more than us without originating from a foreign country.

Most importantly, people repeat things because this is how it works in the world of social media. Doesn't mean they are bad, biased or foreign funded. But if you care about the truth and your intentions are not to mislead people and you have any size following you should check before you repost things or amplify them. That is just my opinion, feel free to ignore it.
Evidence Ladder

1. Always go to the original source material
- complete video not just the clipped thirty second clip
-transcript not someone who just said what they said
-indictment, court documents or affidavit instead of social media descriptions

2. Independently verifiable records
- campaign finance disclosures
-corporate filings
-990s
-archived webpages
-contemporaneous news stories

3. Named source reporting with documents
-good reporting tells you what was verified, lets you examine documents, tells you who said things, what is uncertain and who has given their side of the story

4. Anonymous sources (PROCEED WITH EXTREME CAUTION)
-look at the prior bias if any of the reporter
-how many sources
-any corroborating evidence
-any other reporting that would help identify the possible source
-motives
-timing
-credibility of the newspaper that published the article
Always look for what I consider the tells of propaganda

- true fact without necessary context
- statistics and statements that reduce complex world events down to one sentence or one explanation
-emotional words chosen
- every mistake America makes means we are irredeemably corrupt framing
- foreign countries given a complete pass
- American alliances are always presented as domination
- criticism of one policy is expanded into total national delegitimization
- persistent asymmetry and predetermined destination
- facts and conclusions are wildly asymmetrical (American politicians handled COVID in the worst possible way translates to America developed covid on purpose and released it to insert conspiracy conclusion here)

🧵Russia brought nine tanks and a high-tech active defense shield to break the Ukrainian line at Dobropillya.

Ukraine destroyed all nine tanks, bypassed the shield, and forced the surviving Russian infantry to flee the battlefield on motorcycles. 1/🇺🇦🦩⬇️🧵
The Russian active defense shield, Arena-M, was supposed to swat incoming drones out of the sky. It worked exactly once.

It stopped the first FPV drone. The depleted shield left the tank completely naked for the second drone, which blew it apart. 2/
Near Pokrovsk, Russian commanders massed their infantry for a massive surprise assault.

Ukrainian intelligence simply watched them assemble. Rocket artillery wiped out the entire concentration before the attack order was even given. 3/

dans la nuit de vendredi à samedi, le Premier ministre a annoncé que "1,5 million de masques FFP2 ser[aie]nt acheminés dès cette nuit vers la Gironde afin de protéger les personnels engagés et les populations exposées aux fumées nocives pour la santé"
Les conséquences des fumées ne se limitent toutefois pas au système respiratoire
Les données scientifiques recensées par l'Anses "suggèrent" également des effets sur la santé "cardiovasculaire", avec un risque accru d'"hypertension", de troubles du rythme cardiaque ou d'autres maladies cardiaques

Style becomes a lot more interesting when you stop thinking of clothes as a way to look younger, hotter, or richer. Or as a way to gain status and advance your career.

Let me show you. 🧵
The internet is full of people who post photos like these and tell you where you can buy the clothes shown. Often, this requires subscribing to their Substack or clicking their affiliate link, so they earn some money on the backend. Image
Image
This can be fine, but sometimes there's a not-so-subtle suggestion that you can transform your life by purchasing something. You can be happier, younger, richer, and more handsome by wearing a polo. In reality, you will continue being who you are and living your regular life. Image

Gedanken zur Tageslosung für Sonntag, den 26.07.2026

Losungswort
Josef sprach zu seinen Brüdern: Zankt nicht auf dem Wege!
1. Mose 45,24

Lehrtext
Selig sind, die Frieden stiften; denn sie werden Gottes Kinder heißen.
Matthäus 5,9

Die Losungen der Herrnhuter Brüdergemeine
Frieden stiften

Nachdem Josef sich seinen Brüdern zu erkennen gegeben hatte, schickte er sie zurück, um seinen Vater und alle, die dazugehörten, nach Ägypten zu holen. Der, den die älteren Brüder als Sklaven verkauft hatten, war nun zum zweiten Mann in Ägypten geworden. Doch
anstatt sich an seinen Brüdern zu rächen, freute er sich, seine Familie wiederzusehen. Alles, was geschehen war, konnte Josef aus Gottes Hand nehmen. Allerdings kannte er seine Brüder, ihr Temperament und ihre Streitlust. Deshalb gab er ihnen wohl den Rat mit, auf

So, first of all, we are need to need a test victim... erm... I mean a test harness... or a test machine. I think the Kehtron 486 DX/50 is the perfect candidate. It's been a little flaky recently though. I had to reseat the HDD/FDD controller to get it to boot! Image

Let's begin our testing session with this beeeautiful Gateway 2000 keyboard. It works great! I took it downstairs and cleaned it up, and now not only does it work great, it also looks great! Image

I wonder how many Americans truly understand that corporate media is listening to precisely *none* of the criticisms leveled against it.

In a decade of the Trump era, they haven't changed their methods a whit and still don't understand why we see the WHCA dinner as contemptible.
No criticism penetrates. They continue to irresponsibly use anonymous sources, privilege access journalism, refuse to cut off sources known to lie, practice bothsidesism, give time to demagogues, air content they know false, conduct ineffectual fact-checking. No self-improvement.
And you know what? *For what their values are*, they do things exactly right. They value money and fame only, and they change nothing about what they do because they're getting enough of each. *You*, America, gave Maggie Haberman millions for her latest work of access journalism.

When id did Wolfenstein for the super-Nintendo (1994), I was told that Nintendo asked us for three changes.

But first I had to go through every single level of Wolfenstein and modify it so it would fit on the Super-Nintendo. I had to remove some textures, some decorations, that sort of thing. I was always given those types of jobs at id Software.

I'm not complaining. I was gainfully employed at a rock star of a studio, so was always willing to do as asked.
1/4Image
Their first request was to get rid of all the swastikas. We had them not because we liked Nazism, but id thought it was ominous and fit the theme. Kind of like how we used demon faces for Doom.

At first, we didn't want to change this. Then Nintendo told us that a holocaust survivor at Nintendo USA had asked for the change, so we did it for that person.
2/4Image
Nintendo's second request is they didn't want red blood. Too icky. They made us palette-swap all the red blood to make it white instead.

Frankly, I think shooting the bad guys and having white spew out of them is way worse. Oddly, corpses on the ground still sometimes had red pools of blood.
