I always find it so silly when idiots say 'but what was the point of learning algebra, geometry and trig? When have I ever needed to find X they should have taught us something useful in the real world'.

Well, 🧵
First off, school is meant to teach you the 4 ways of thinking: how to think, what to think, why to think and where to think.

Yes those sound silly when you think (heh), about them, but it's true. By teaching this, it makes you think subconsciously. This is the point of all
primary and secondary schooling. To help you know second-nature what to do in any situation. English literature teaches you great stories of the past, yes, but it's also to teach you when to use formal language vs casual. You may have needed to learn by rote the tin output of

1) #TSTTPD is a piercingly vulnerable window into the 2022-2023 psyche of the biggest star in the world. It has some *really* good songs. I think it might be the most interesting lyrical product she’s ever put out. And it is, objectively, not her best album. Bear with me.
2) Following Midnights and the apex of her stardom with a new release was inevitably going to invoke critical scrutiny; but I’m here to tell you that making her “best” album ever was definitely not the point. It requires no apology. I think she made what she had to.
3) Every word of these songs reads of wrenching heartbreak from the longest relationship of her life, and the most public (and apparently painful) rebound of her life. Early 2023 @taylorswift13 was apparently pretty vaporized inside while performing the biggest tour in history.

It's a 𝐇𝐔𝐆𝐄 week for #Bitcoin!

🟧 The highly anticipated halving event is anticipated to fall on April 20.

This will be the fourth Bitcoin halving in history.

A 3-min thread 🧵

1/11
💡 What is the Bitcoin halving?

It's when the reward given to Bitcoin miners is halved.

Currently, miners receive 6.25 newly minted Bitcoin as block rewards.

The upcoming halving is expected to further reduce miner rewards to 3.125 BTC per block.

2/11
🔄 Why does the halving occur?

The halving controls the supply of new #Bitcoin entering circulation, aligning with Satoshi Nakamoto’s vision for a deflationary asset.

It ensures scarcity and manages inflation, contributing to $BTC's long-term value proposition.

Dear @CMOTamilnadu . Sir, I'm deeply outraged at the deceit by the ECI officials, along with Electoral Bonds party. My name is deleted from the voters list, along with almost 600 people in our housing Colony which had been quite vocal against the North Indian party. From ...
...morning till now I was arguing and trying to find my name in different wards here in T R Baalu constituency. Kindly assign someone to looking into these blatant disruption of our democratic rights. What was the need to delete a name from the voters list? I had voted in 2019.
I agree I should've verified it earlier. But I was caught up in various issues and didn't get the time. That was a mistake from my end. But I had confidence that I am in Tamil Nadu and such high handed acts won't happen in my city. Really outraged & disappointed.

The federal government has taken in $2T so far this year (2024).



Since we’ve passed “tax time” this year, let’s withhold our income tax from now on… hear me out!fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finan…
Go to your HR site or department and tell them to not take our income tax or up your exemptions to make the withholding as little as possible.

Now, divert that FICO amount to another bank account so it’s available for next year.
I know, I know “well, if we’re just going to pay it anyway, why bother?”.
Stay with me…
1.The government needs to see a massive absence of revenue!!! They are NOT LISTENING TO US and they are pissing our money away!

perry: "we had quite a few regulars out tonight, but i thought the first half of the first period we were just standing around watching them, and they were skating around us making plays. but after that, it's all about work and we battled hard. it's just one of those games where the way you start just wasn't there."
perry on the mindset entering this game: "it's not easy replacing six guys that play over 18, 20 minutes a night. i thought we battled hard. they're a great team, they had their full lineup, they're ready for their playoff mode and they came out hard."
perry on it almost being like a pre-season game, what the goal of it is: "it's just about good habits, just working hard, keeping it simple. it's not the easist thing to do, but we're all professional here. we're all nhl players, and i thought after that first period, our game came alive. we started skating, and we started to play with the puck a little more."

No big surprise that Iranian state media is downplaying or denying reports of the apparent Israeli attack. That is the role of state media at times like these, at least until they get different instructions. Behind the scenes there will surely be some hardliners... 🧵
... from the IRGC and elsewhere calling for a counter-reprisal: they made a threat and they'll feel a need to follow through on it. If the attack caused little or no damage, however, and if the public narrative is to mock it as small and ineffective, cooler heads might prevail.
Also relevant, I think, is whether Israeli and American officials can shut up or whether they spend the day talking about the strike. The more public acknowledgement of this comes from Iran's foes, the more pressure there will be in Tehran for some kind of response.

THREAD🧵1/5

WHAT IS
CLOUD 🌧️
SEEDING?

Down you go the 🐰 🕳️

The US 🇺🇸government has had the ability to manipulate the weather as far back as the Vietnam war….

China 🇨🇳 and Russia 🇷🇺 have also allegedly used this technology for weather change.

THREAD🧵2/5

During the Vietnam 🇻🇳 war in 1967-1972, Henry Kissinger , sponsored this highly classified project, known as OPERATION POPEYE.

Operation Popeye was a chemical weather modification program carried out by the U.S. 🇺🇸 in Vietnam by the CIA WITHOUT the authorization of the Secretary of Defense- Melvin Laird.

The goal was flood AND “soften” roads and surfaces, causing landslides to disrupt Vietnamese military vehicles by increasing rainfall in carefully selected areas. (See video) ⬇️

THREAD 🧵 3/5

This was actually talked about on CBS News years ago where it was talked about that governments “can create lightning.” 🤔 🔥

“Climate control lasers to influence weather events.”

Could this “laser” be used to start fires as well? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Do you really trust the government with this technology to have it and not use it for its own benefit?

This blew up a bit so let’s talk a bit more about it. Warning, we’re going to use the word community a lot.
To be clear, the broad strokes here are right - Americans have short memories, elders get arrested, burnt out, or tired of not being listened to, and the real lessons of the past are intentionally masked by capitalist propaganda.
Add in groups like PSL which are well organized cults of personality with no serious intention of changing anything but the capacity to (often) bring large numbers or take credit for them, and you’ve got new generations of activists trying to figure things out in a vacuum.
