  1. Dec 2, 2021Twitter · reply@Aella_Girl Idk, I'm just saying that gender is an overwhelming factor on the perpetrator side, and Twitter gender ratio is pretty skewed, so it seems relevant?
  2. Dec 2, 2021Twitter · reply@Aella_Girl I'll just say- sexual assault is awful in aggregate because it is so common... Gender imbalance of your followers may skew results?
  3. Dec 2, 2021Twitter · reply@RokoMijic Watching your children starve and die of disease would be a pretty powerful motivator, no? Agriculture and civil engineering would develop faster without resources diverted into fighting off murderous neighbors? Unless you're positing an Eden of limitless plenty...?
  4. Dec 2, 2021Twitter · reply@Aella_Girl I assume it's monetized so I profit from this setup?
  5. Dec 2, 2021Twitter · quoteNow I wanna be a squirrel 🐿️ https://x.com/vividvoid/status/1466609399988846594
  6. Dec 2, 2021Twitter · repostRT @patio11: A huge part of the magic in all ecosystems is having a shared language, mental model for counterparties that you have ever met…
  7. Dec 2, 2021Twitter · reply@varunramg 🤣 not me... But yeah Boeing is a $10M "sponsor" because their office sits next door- convenient to the Pentagon just across the highway. Ofc Amazon's new offices next block over will be ~same headcount as the Pentagon, hoping they spill over into non-govt tech ecosystem 🤞
  8. Dec 2, 2021Twitter · reply@varunramg The esplanade next to our new county-run Long Bridge Aquatic Center in Arlington VA 🙂
  9. Dec 2, 2021Twitter · postMe + who? https://t.co/0JCwIH7P3Y
  10. Dec 2, 2021Twitter · reply@MJBrendanawicz my weird account is so hopelessly in the red, I've declared bankruptcy 😹
  11. Dec 2, 2021Twitter · repostRT @cheascake: I want an undetectable heartbeat. Hummingbirds should be jealous of how fast it goes. The flash envies me. The baristas fear…
  12. Dec 2, 2021Twitter · quoteWant... https://x.com/MJBrendanawicz/status/1466589131169943553
  13. Dec 2, 2021Twitter · reply@CaralhoPhilly @mattyglesias I really think if it had been Bernie instead of Biden we would've extended our stay longer but not reinforced with more troops; the Taliban would've called off the ceasefire and the withdrawal really would've been Fall of Saigon- because of the Blob's bad advice.
  14. Dec 2, 2021Twitter · reply@liminal_warmth Stealth internet/comms takeover to change public narrative to one that maximizes human well-being, peace, and productivity. Max leverage would be all of humanity pulling in the same direction instead of fighting and undermining each other.
  15. Dec 2, 2021Twitter · reply@CaralhoPhilly @mattyglesias I mean politically- Bernie isn't a foreign policy guy and would've had more voices arguing to stay vs go and upset w chaotic withdrawal, losing troops at the gate, and leaving Afghan translators behind... People were upset with Biden, who probably managed it as well as anyone.
  16. Dec 2, 2021Twitter · reply@cheascake And then this one- growing structures rather than building them https://www.amazon.com/dp/1633451054/ref=cm_sw_r_apanp_DpIX8KPVrsbtv
  17. Dec 2, 2021Twitter · reply@cheascake Also this (from Elon's faves list) https://www.amazon.com/Structures-Things-Dont-Fall-Down/dp/0306812835

  19. Dec 2, 2021Twitter · quoteAnd/or learning how to build "A teams" out of the right combination of mostly "B players"... https://x.com/ashleymayer/status/1459985368518782976
  20. Dec 2, 2021Twitter · reply@sheslostheplot I've had a silver one for about a year, but got lazy about charging and stopped using it months ago... No big ugly scratches that I remember.
  21. Dec 2, 2021Twitter · reply@sheslostheplot I have one, ppl have asked me "looks bulky, isn't it heavy?" And I laugh and say it's the opposite- maybe too lightweight
  22. Dec 2, 2021Twitter · reply@mattyglesias No infrastructure bill passed, much gnashing of teeth over regressive effect of student loan cancellation, probably a self-inflicted budget / debt-ceiling crisis, military in disarray over Afghanistan withdrawal and questions of usurping Trump's presidential power.
  23. Dec 2, 2021Twitter · quote"nerd kudzu" 🤣 https://x.com/Pinboard/status/1466429087371739138
  24. Dec 2, 2021Twitter · reply@Pinboard I've said all along, if getting vax % up is the priority, hire cocktail waitresses to give J&J shots at bars with a "shot for a shot" promo
  25. Dec 2, 2021Twitter · repostRT @FastCompany: These bug hotels could bring biodiversity back to cities http://f-st.co/bvKSry7

  30. Dec 1, 2021Twitter · reply@Substr8Monopoly @tszzl @95thoughts 🤣 manic mimi / mellow mimi / moody mimi take turns surprising people in my life every few months anyway
  31. Dec 1, 2021Twitter · postHome at last... Love designing a new product in 2 days- hope our client likes the concept 🤞
  32. Dec 1, 2021Twitter · reply@tszzl @Substr8Monopoly @95thoughts overwriting my flaws and misunderstandings might not be a bad thing, even if it means overwriting so much that I'm no longer identifiable as myself 🤷‍♀️
  33. Dec 1, 2021Twitter · reply@DanielleFong The internet in March & April 2020 when volume spiked with everyone doing remote video calls.

  37. Dec 1, 2021Twitter · reply@bmock Awww feel better 💕 sick / injured pets are heartbreaking somehow
  38. Dec 1, 2021Twitter · reply@tszzl Twitter OG, Twitter Pro, and Twitter 3 (permissionless, decentralized, nanopayments to "content producers", never mind the scaling issues)
  39. Dec 1, 2021Twitter · reply@allanpeda Hopes and fears and projection- narratives we're trying on for size?
  40. Dec 1, 2021Twitter · reply@RiverTamYDN I mean I guess it could be way simpler if the QR code URLs led to adware-style tracking pixels before redirecting to the actual menus? Know who's phone is at what restaurant at the same time, the better to identify spy recruitment meets or something?
  41. Nov 30, 2021Twitter · repostRT @Pavel_Asparagus: Important to have a completely unhinged Twitter and a completely normie Instagram
  42. Nov 30, 2021Twitter · reply@bryan_caplan .5 kinda? My mom was in FL in early days of covid... Eventually returned to VA, relieved that people here were mostly masking and not holding large indoor parties, vs several neighbors in FL dying of covid after mocking and bullying about her precautions.
  43. Nov 30, 2021Twitter · repostRT @cheascake: soft and cozy state of being. cuddly. warm. in my bed. flourishing
  44. Nov 30, 2021Twitter · reply@RokoMijic If your personal preference is to live in a racially pure enclave, fine, but you don't speak for everyone and it is not inevitable that diversity causes conflict and a welfare state.
  45. Nov 30, 2021Twitter · reply@RokoMijic My neighborhood is 35% foreign born and 5% Ethiopian in particular, only 50% speak English at home and 38% are white non-hispanic; I live here by choice because I *like* the diverse community and our quality of life.
  46. Nov 30, 2021Twitter · reply@RokoMijic El Salvador, Bolivia, Ethiopia, China https://statisticalatlas.com/place/Virginia/Arlington/National-Origin
  47. Nov 30, 2021Twitter · reply@RokoMijic I really don't think we need to shut the borders to have a happy melting pot country though- Arlington VA is 25% foreign-born, and yet also has 2.2% unemployment, #6 highest median income in the US, and reasonably low crime, good schools, nice parks.
  48. Nov 30, 2021Twitter · reply@RokoMijic You can see the privileged/white expectation that the system should be fair and friendly to voters vs the suspicion and resignation towards a system that was once quite racist. I want a world where all my neighbors expect the system will work for them because it usually does.
  49. Nov 30, 2021Twitter · reply@RokoMijic But in the meantime, I do see the legacy of discrimination and I'm not going to lie about it. I'm an election worker in a historically Black precinct- there's a noticable diff between resigned shrugging acceptance vs outraged protest when a voter registration is messed up.
  50. Nov 30, 2021Twitter · reply@RokoMijic And my experience here in my community is that all different ethnicities live together and intermarry and the lines are very quickly blurring- in another few generations most ppl will be "mixed"- which is hardly the recipe for a race war.
  51. Nov 30, 2021Twitter · reply@RokoMijic Imo the "genetic superiority" arguments put way too much weight on small average diffs between groups and not enough on the standard deviation within each group- a diverse meritocracy that seeks out the best individual talent > placing ppl according to racial averages or quotas
  52. Nov 30, 2021Twitter · reply@RokoMijic But there's a difference between acknowledging injustice and wanting the future to be better, vs buying into the calculus of ancestral privilege and guilt that says we should inflict harms on white people to balance out past harms to non-whites.
  53. Nov 30, 2021Twitter · reply@RokoMijic There IS a lot of recognition that non-white Americans have been fucked over historically, that the legacy of injustice is still visible today, and that we need to acknowledge it to heal and move forward to a more just future.
  54. Nov 30, 2021Twitter · reply@RokoMijic We really do have a problem with mass incarceration and using the criminal justice system to deal with social ills like addiction and mental illness. The war-on-drugs had a racist undertone and was used to justify illiberal policies like no-knock warrants and asset forfeiture.
  55. Nov 30, 2021Twitter · reply@RokoMijic The Woke at the NYT & pushing CRT are a small group of upper-middle class people (more white than not) who have co-opted and perverted a legit movement for justice into a holier-than-thou status game. They don't represent most Americans and that's not where we're going.
  56. Nov 30, 2021Twitter · repostRT @bronwynwilliams: Money should have a cost - and healthy markets should multiply value rather than be a circle-jerk. This means the fin…
  57. Nov 30, 2021Twitter · quote"because journalists and politicians all have to be on Twitter for their jobs, we’ve effectively locked our nation’s thought-leaders in a room with the Shouting Class." Worth the read https://x.com/Noahpinion/status/1465559584836251650
  58. Nov 30, 2021Twitter · repostRT @slashdot: World's First Living Robots Can Now Reproduce, Scientists Say https://bit.ly/3rpzC71
  59. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@powerbottomdad1 I had a great-uncle who died from drunk falling off a railroad trestle into the river... And an entry in the family bible listing an ancestor's cause of death as "kicked in the head by a horse"...
  60. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · repostRT @ryanhmurphy: @ESYudkowsky @calebwatney @elidourado @robinhanson so the hot take to vastly improve speed for building US infrastructure…
  61. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · repostRT @d08890: that's right, rachelle has discovered ``harry potter and the methods of rationality''
  62. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · repostRT @EricRichards22: Fucking everybody is burned out. I will not listen to the woe-is-me martyrdom from teachers any longer. It's bullshit.
  63. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@hotgirlintech Actually, could you write the sequel "1 to N" for me? 🙏
  64. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · repostRT @abettertake: A funny thing about this to me is that even with *billions* of dollars, the range of things you can do to spice things up…
  65. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · repostRT @EagleOnMars: It’s Rage Against the MACHINE…. That includes GOP, DNC, Biden, Pelosi, even AOC and Bernie.
  66. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@RokoMijic https://www.up.edu/iss/advising-services/american-values.html
  67. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@RokoMijic I think that's an overstatement- what's been proposed by the left wing vs what's actually happening are quite different. Liz & Bernie didn't win the primary, AOC's squad is 4 to 6 votes, the median senator is from West Virginia, there's a conservative majority in Supreme Court
  68. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@RokoMijic Median VA voter cares about high quality education, a strong economy, and fiscal discipline- Youngkin's platform was fund education, listen to parents, and try charter schools... Cut anti-business regulations... End the grocery tax and refund some of our surplus as a tax rebate
  69. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@RokoMijic Like our Gov Northam in Virginia- the blackface photo pops up and the national media & politicians cancelled him, but here in VA a majority of black voters didn't want him to resign. The black caucus engaged in dialogue and imo it was productive reconciliation not a cancelling.
  70. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@RokoMijic I do think that African-Americans and native people have a different perspective because there really are legit historical grievances... But even they're far more pragmatic and moderate than the Woke would have you believe.
  71. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@RokoMijic The phrase "people of color" is an attempt to form a majority coalition, but it's not an actual identity here. Americans are American by shared values and self-ID patriotism, we all know "white" has shifted & expanded over time to include assimilated immigrants
  72. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@RokoMijic I listened to some of it (when audio wasn't acting up) and I just really don't think the Woke-immigrant alliance is nearly as strong as y'all were assuming. Look at Latino movement towards Trump in 2020
  73. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky @Aella_Girl @tszzl #rooncult see you there!
  74. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky @Aella_Girl We'll all ride the train into DC to dance and proselytize in front of the Capitol... Then back to our farm chores and sex parties
  75. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky @Aella_Girl Lol, nah, I'll be hosting my fellow cult members on my mountainside permaculture homestead
  76. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky @Aella_Girl Lol, it would be really cool to find something to believe in that deeply... Usually I get excited, dig a little deeper, don't find much and lose all interest
  77. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@andreikuznetsv Oooo I love book poasts!
  78. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky @Aella_Girl Which is good if you're wrong / bad if you're right...? Feel like I'm leaning towards overconfident these days, getting smacked by superior wisdom would probably be a good thing?
  79. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@realjdburn Numbers game- large # of Indians, large numbers educated as devs, more talented MBA-types go into tech (in part because H1B availability vs green card backlog for India), also native English helps- easier to integrate & become a leader
  80. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · quoteProbably 90% of why I'm a HS dropout... https://x.com/nickcammarata/status/1465493562179526658

  84. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@sreekotay @paraga Not sure what needs to change... As a country we need to have more conversations, not just cancel people for sharing their thoughts and fears, but at the same time a lot of what's being said is pretty misguided and tough to listen to imo.
  85. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · repostRT @SRtwofourfour: “The courtesy of your hall is somewhat lessened of late!”
  86. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@SwiftOnSecurity 🤣 I am so confused, in the best way.
  87. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · postListening in on "race wars" spaces, both sides are fixating on group identity and stereotypes rather than making the most of each person's individual talents 🤷‍♀️ IRL I live in a diverse community where people get along fine, Twitter ppl seem to live in a different world.
  88. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · repostRT @PNWstevedore: Caught a break from heavy weather this afternoon. Working topside in the sun. https://t.co/Aac9qaCwRl
  89. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@abettertake I think Twitter is only a pale imitation of the social network that is Amish gossip and shunning
  90. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@LightningShade0 @Aella_Girl 🤣 I only wrote that to try my hand at frame control, and because it made me laugh... But I do think your rephrase is more effective 👍
  91. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@LightningShade0 @Aella_Girl Is this thread an example of frame control? Like, "what you thought was good is bad, actually... I'm wiser because I recognize and applaud the wisdom of lowbrow tastes"...? If so, nice one
  92. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@abettertake Thank you for explaining! I still think I'm missing something but that's probably my mental deficiency
  93. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@abettertake Huh, no, I mean various family members hold their various religious beliefs pretty deeply and are glad to proselytize when they find a willing listener, but that's separate from family being family regardless.
  94. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@abettertake Sure, we will have a difference of opinion on that point, and ofc they will act according to their belief system... In fact, I was raised by a deeply religious family and yet have always been atheist/agnostic myself... Where is the "frame control" in this?
  95. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@abettertake But why would I believe you? I'm pretty well convinced of the psychological benefits from published studies & books as well as personal experience... And also honoring parents by following their example seems like a good thing?
  96. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@abettertake @Aella_Girl Huh, struggling to imagine this- my mom is prez of her garden club; having her home on a regional garden tour was like achievement of a lifelong dream... My interest is partly motivated by the psychological / intellectual benefits of gardening & biophilic design 🤔
  97. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@abettertake @Aella_Girl Hm, gardening I guess?
  98. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@Aella_Girl I am so confused by this blog post- don't relate to it at all, which makes me wonder if ASD has me completely oblivious to this layer of social interaction... if anyone has a different way of explaining, or more clear examples, I'd be grateful for pointers...?
