Just doing some digging. #Pain is extremely nuanced. And the approach should also. W my kids #health & #pain there has been continued lack of knowledge, assumptions, & unwillingness to understand.

Got robbed. Again. @jasonkCNN & I were at city hall in San Francisco to do an interview for @CNN. We had security to watch our rental car + crew car. Thieves did this in under 4 seconds. Security stopped the jerks from stealing other bags. But seriously- this is ridiculous
Our hired security guard tried to grab the crooks (I’m glad he didn’t get hurt!) but he got this picture of the getaway car.
To the jerks who stole our stuff— I hope someone on this site sees your plate and you get caught
Thank you to @SFPD’s Ofcs Gala & Mac for responding and your kindness.

Illinois Taxpaypers--

Never forget that kids & teens asked their school boards to stop requiring 😷s - and were ignored.

"I miss seeing others’ faces, & shudder to imagine that my fellow classmates might be as lonely as I am." Student in @CUSD200

Another teen, this one in @barrington220, spoke angrily & passionately at a public meeting:

"My and countless others’ words have gone unheard for two years. Our cries for help have gone unseen."

Also recall that many Chicagoland districts - like @Hinsdale86 - not only carried out the governor's illegal order, but enforced it unapologetically, with techniques reminiscent of a dystopian novel or totalitarian regime

NUOVI TWITTER FILES ⚠️

Tutto è partito con le bugie sull'infiltrazione russa nella campagna elettorale americana...! 🇷🇺🇺🇸
In questa Thread tradotta, @mtaibbi spiega perfettamente come Clinton & Co fossero i maggiori responsabili di disinfomazione sull'argomento.

Let’s revisit
- The Story Of Air India -#Ganga .. which played a major role in #1971IndoPakWar 😀
&
How Pakistanis were Fooled… 😀👇🏼#Thread
1. In January 1971 already East Pakistan ( now Bangladesh) was Boiling and India was determined to Fracture Pakistan .
2. Hashim Qureshi along with his cousin Ashraf Qureshi hijacked this Indian Airlines plane on 30 January 1971 (Ganga) en route from Srinagar to Jammu and brought the plane to Lahore, Pakistan 🙄
3. Now comes the Twist in the story ...
#Ganga’ was one of the oldest aircraft in the Indian Airlines fleet and was already withdrawn from service but was re-inducted just few days before ‘the Hijacking’ 😉!!

1 | Intro | History is a story of causality with no gaps. Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes those reasons aren't generally unknown. Either they're purposefully hidden, distorted, or sometimes simply forgotten.
2 | Intro | So, writing this thread as a communist... what if I told you, relatively speaking, the Bavarian Illuminati were the good guys? Would you dismiss it? Might you prefer to cling to modern pop myth & revisionist history? Or would you ask, "How much do I really know?"
3 | Intro | This thread is meant to shed light on what's been distorted and/or forgotten as it is extremely important we as leftists & communists know who the enemy is and why. Equally important is knowing who is not the enemy.

Let's talk cybersecurity #jokes while we still can.

You probably don't take on a company like @McAfee or a person like @CybersecuritySF like *I* do. But most of you DO enjoy a joke that uses #sarcasm, #burlesque, #irony, and/or #satire to make its point…

Welp, Twitter is dying and I just poured my first Yukon Jack snakebite to celebrate!

So, let me tell you about the time I (a Master Sergeant) argued with the aircraft commander (a major) to divert his C-130 to avoid a missile attack in Iraq!
It's 2003 and BUFFALO 28 is flying 40 soldiers to Kuwait for a funeral ceremony. It's part of a two-ship with BUFFALO 30 carrying seven caskets. ⚰️

Wing commander Col (BGen select) Gibson has stopped BUFFALO 28 on the runway so I can board as Historian.
nytimes.com/2003/11/02/int…
BGen-select Gibson understands the gravity of the situation and he's tossing me aboard to document the mission. As the only 3H0x1 in Iraq, I'm something of a diplomat to the other military services when we do casket transfers. Our presence lends the commander's gravitas.

If only armenians had preserved the Old City of #Yerevan, it would benefit civilization so much. Too bad they didn't want any turkic/muslim heritage present in their capital...
Out of dozens of mosques in Yerevan alone only one, Blue Mosque, was spared. ImageImageImageImage
Sad fate also awaited the once magnificent Palace of Sardars, residence of the rulers of Irevan Khanate. Known for its pavillion and mirror room richly decorated with ornamental and thematic compositions, murals and frescoes by #azerbaijani painter Mirza Kadim Irevani.

In a facebook discussion of the crappy Mormons who felt entitled to stiff a 15-year-old girl who babysat 7 kids for 9 hours because they went to the temple, someone pointed out that this is a clear example of "moral licensing." 🧵1/

Moral licensing is the psychological phenomenon wherein humans feel that doing something they perceive as good--say, working out at the gym--gives them permission or license to do something they perceive as bad, or at least less good--like having an extra large smoothie. 2/
Those immoral #Mormons justified the moral evil of cheating & lying to a minor who cared for their children all day because they perceived doing a temple session as so righteous that it canceled out any fraud & deception they might have committed. 3/

This is your daily pension announcement: The Pension War Room™️is again venturing into the moldy root cellar of UCP pension policy. I will bring you some odds and ends that were triggered by Dr. Bob's fantastic paper "Can AIMCO be fixed". #AbLeg #handsoffmypension
In reality, the question is more can Travis and the UCP be fixed?

According to Joe Ceci, joint sponsorship for pensions would take “the politics out of pensions” (Alberta Hansard, 29th Legislature, 4th Session, 2373).

Then @ToewsforAlberta said "hold my beer". #AbLeg
As my loyal army will remember, Travis procured a bill that destroyed the trust with plan members and employee associations that is essential for pension plans to operate. Not public money.

Making a nearly impossible job for Evan at @aimcoinvests. #clientshateyou

The European Union is conducting bizarre experiments in international law. If you live on the planet Earth, you are subject to EU laws, and therefore, to malicious prosecution from those who have more money than you.
I mean, I've been railing about how bad the EU cookie law is for a long time. The EU cookie law has probably tricked more people into accepting push notifications from random websites than any other imaginable tactic. And seriously harmed consumer privacy in the process. #irony
What the EU is doing to the world is reminiscent of how California exports its zealous laws to the rest of the country (e.g. car emission standards). While California's laws are arguably a good thing in many cases, the EU is just writing fucking disastrous law.

1/ It wasn't a conspiracy theory, it was a #CrimeAgainstHumanity...and it came from Florida. 🧵

The GOP started lying about COVID when Trump called it a "hoax". THAT lie has cost hundreds of thousands of American🇺🇲 lives. It also made them and their friends billions $$.

#Facts
2/ Trump said it was a hoax on Feb 27, 2020. Community transmission was being confirmed in multiple cities in the US. Around the world, case numbers were increasing exponentially everywhere one was found, and economic disruptions began roiling global financial markets.

3/ Four Republican Senators on the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee who knew how bad the virus was, sold their stocks ahead of a market collapse which saw equity valuations plunge up to 40% worldwide in a matter of weeks.

1/ With the epidemic of Medical Establishment-induced hemorrhaging of Black physicians, particularly, Black Women, from academic & clinical medicine, what better time than Black History Month for the entire establishment to turn the mirror on itself & ask the question:
2/ “Why are we like this?”
3/ I’m talking the same degree of root cause analyses conducted on a case of Catheter Associated UTI or Hospital Acquired decubitus ulcer. A thorough internal and external investigation to why the system is chewing and spitting out Black women physicians needs to be conducted .

When my Twitter account, along with that of @ShivAroor and others, was blocked by Congress/UPA under draconian Section 66A, several 'journalists' supported Govt's order. A senior UPA Minister told me some of them had collaborated with Govt in drawing up the list. 1n
More. A digital free speech activist, who receives handsome foreign funds, sat in on meetings to help Congress/UPA Govt justify its patently unjustifiable ban. Later, he had the gumption to tell me how he had fought tooth and nail. Which, of course, was bunkum. I told him so. 2n
When confronted about the ban in Washington, DC by prominent mediapersons and lawmakers, India's then Ambassador to US brazenly justified the ban. The diplomat's colleagues in MEA were appalled. 3n

Good morning everyone. As a representative of team ADHD I would like to tell you about ‘executive function’ because you’ve probably lost a lot of yours. It’s temporary. (Ours is permanent so - we know what we’re about.)

Executive function is the ability to stay on top of things.
Executive function is like a little butler in your brain. It knows where your keys are. It knows you have a meeting after lunch. It reminds you to buy milk when you’re at the shop. Usually, this takes almost no energy.

But yours has stopped working properly.
Now all those things are either a) forgotten or b) take a *huge* amount of energy. You struggle to remember the milk, you have to keep reminding yourself, loudly. The bill didn’t get paid. You’re forgetting things. You can’t concentrate.

.@KanganaTeam is a metaphor, a symbol of the descent of this country since 2014. A thread. 👇
Eight years ago, I interviewed @KanganaTeam for the cover story of @BazaarIndia. I found her a “spunky, free-spirited Manali girl” on the brink of finding her voice, living a “modern-day fairy-tale Mumbai story with a powerful woman protagonist”. tarakaushal.com/writer/intervi…
I have watched her since—first with amazement, as she blossomed after Queen and her study stint in New York (2013-14-ish); then, with increasing disgust and horror... So much has changed since our interview.

I so seldom disagree with Jean that it pains me to do so here & now.

Here's MY take:

"You'll always get unsolicited advice. Only *ask* someone for advice when you commit in advance to follow it. You need a Herculean excuse to turn down any advice *you* asked for."
First & foremost: you must undeniably TRUST the advisor whom you ask for input

Second: you must undeniably OWN the responsibility for acting on your advisor's input

Third: you must unconditionally THANK your advisor for their input regardless the outcome
Still, though, I ♥️'d @jeanqasaur's tweet because she offered it to us in all sincereness

I would that everyone tweeted advice with the sole desire to make the world a better place

(and yes: I subtweeted myself, you don't need to point out the #irony to me)
