1/ What is Right Privilege? Walking around so embedded in your own delusion that you know:

- If you shout "law & order" loud enough, the law is what you say it is
- Cops are on your side, before they're enemies
- The hotel bar is relaxing after the insurrection

#rightprivilege

2/ You know:

- Society blowback for your terrorism is just more repression
- Socialism is hell, but tech platforms should be socialized
- Supporting others' needs is just socialism
- But California subsidizing Oklahoma is federalism

#rightprivilege
3/ You know:

- You're ultra-conservative, so stoking civil war isn't radical
- Camo Chic is cool
- No-Fly Lists only apply to brown people who speak Arabic
- Violence will secure your cause by taking back what's yours
- Terrorists can't be white

#rightprivilege
4/ You know:

- Too much about what you think are your rights from society
- Too little about your responsibilities to society
- A lot about a vague specter of socialism you're afraid of, but can't name any specific ways you've ever been truly oppressed

#rightprivilege
5/ You know:

- A strongman can save you if everyone just give him enough power
- Weakness makes you look like a lib
- Kap dishonors the American flag, but a Trump and confederate flag in the Capitol doesn't

#rightprivilege
6/ You know:

- The media is out to get you. Yes, YOU.
- Because the press is the enemy of the people. Which people? C'mon, YOU. (Do try to keep up.)
- The election was clearly stolen, because there's no way more people could have voted than 10 years ago

#rightprivilege
7/ You know:

- You're the real conservative. But haven't read Reflections on the Revolution in... oh, never mind
- The Founders were patriots, had guns, and yelled a lot about tyranny... Against, um, a strongman. With lots of power.

#rightprivilege
8/ You know:

- Now that the Demonrats(!) have power, deficits really matter.
- And a president's words.
- And comity.
- And unity.
- And not stoking division.
- And lives lost to Covid.
- But unending obstruction-at-any-cost is patriotic.

I’ve been frustrated by the tweets I’ve seen of this as a Canadian. Because the facts are being misrepresented.

We’re not under some sort of major persecution. That’s not what this is. A thread. 1/8


This church was fined for breaking health orders in Dec. They continued to break them. So the pastor was arrested and released on conditions of... you guessed it, not breaking health orders. And then they broke the health orders. 2/8

So then he was arrested and told he couldn’t hold church services in person if he was to be released. He refused. He’s still in custody.

Here is my frustration as a Christian in Canada:

1. They were able to gather, with some conditions. They didn’t like those. 3/8

2. He is not actually unable to preach. He is just unable to hold church services because they broke the conditions given by the public health office in Alberta. He says he can’t in good conscience do that, so they are keeping him in jail (because he will break the law). 4/8

3. This is the 1st article of The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms: “guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society.” 5/8

Rig Ved 1.36.7

To do a Namaskaar or bow before someone means that you are humble or without pride and ego. This means that we politely bow before you since you are better than me. Pranipaat(प्राणीपात) also means the same that we respect you without any vanity.

Surrendering False pride is Namaskaar. Even in devotion or bhakti we say the same thing. We want to convey to Ishwar that we have nothing to offer but we leave all our pride and offer you ourselves without any pride in our body. You destroy all our evil karma.

2/9

We bow before you so that you assimilate us and make us that capable. Destruction of our evils and surrender is Namaskaar. Therefore we pray same thing before and after any big rituals.

A brief analysis and comparison of the CSS for Twitter's PWA vs Twitter's legacy desktop website. The difference is dramatic and I'll touch on some reasons why.

Legacy site *downloads* ~630 KB CSS per theme and writing direction.

6,769 rules
9,252 selectors
16.7k declarations
3,370 unique declarations
44 media queries
36 unique colors
50 unique background colors
46 unique font sizes
39 unique z-indices

https://t.co/qyl4Bt1i5x


PWA *incrementally generates* ~30 KB CSS that handles all themes and writing directions.

735 rules
740 selectors
757 declarations
730 unique declarations
0 media queries
11 unique colors
32 unique background colors
15 unique font sizes
7 unique z-indices

The legacy site's CSS is what happens when hundreds of people directly write CSS over many years. Specificity wars, redundancy, a house of cards that can't be fixed. The result is extremely inefficient and error-prone styling that punishes users and developers.

The PWA's CSS is generated on-demand by a JS framework that manages styles and outputs "atomic CSS". The framework can enforce strict constraints and perform optimisations, which is why the CSS is so much smaller and safer. Style conflicts and unbounded CSS growth are avoided.
