1 (Thread) Reminders of what the democrats said before the election to create what is happening today.

Trump is a dictator lol my a$$ 😂

Although we will end up with one

 2/ Manufacturing a dictator: The media started in 2016 setting up the Nazi narrative https://t.co/A4RqjXFSJW
3/ Tila Tequila small group of people gained international attention because of this ridiculous media creation.

I am a marketer. There's no way I could get international media to pay attention to a small insignificant group of people without an agenda

https://t.co/r9yJbwEdMp
4/ Then we have Russian interference and Facebook's help in stealing the election https://t.co/zXQpIYyajk
5/ Which went on and on and on https://t.co/02j1JQq6ib
6/ Meanwhile the media goes on to spin Charlottesville and to misrepresent what Trump said in the aftermath to continue the Nazi narrative.

They have been working on this for YEARS https://t.co/mrOlZa8mhx
7/ Twisting words - through publications and fact checkers owned by oligarchs. Thanks Laurene Jobs https://t.co/9DDKseAbl4
8/ Groups like the SPLC stir fear of the neo nazi future of America. But the thing is that's not what is happening. Sorry to disappoint.

https://t.co/3rF7NtDAgf
9/ The thing is Trump is right about the "fake" media. It is. This is the reality of the Atlantic https://t.co/bTUYWn3y33
10/ and this is the reality of the SPLC
https://t.co/rN3ghcC0Xi
11/ and this is the reality of fact checking https://t.co/SGykC7cVl1
12/ .....of course the same nazi story is supported by China lol

https://t.co/C4hQmvr7Hk
13/ From NY to SF the media peddles lies 24/7 about Trump and people don't bother to take the time out to read the transcripts or review the sources

They just believe the rhetoric blindly. This happened from 2016 - 2020

https://t.co/mEmhiyojLn
14/ for years politicians and Hollywood stars have called for violence again Trump and his supporters

This is a fact https://t.co/qVVXz2hnfa
15/ The undermining of conservatives and trump has its roots in Media Matters & David Brock

....and people choose to ignore this

https://t.co/Id9ae9oqvW
16/ Since the summer Pelosi and friends have been creating the story that they would fumigate or drag trump out of office.....because they knew they would cheat and this would create doubt

https://t.co/ikLihhDWQK
19/ Pulling him out by his hair most recently https://t.co/YNcvQF77BE
20/ all of this after their failed attempts at impeachment https://t.co/LeKGKzIu6d
21/ I can find 100's of stories discussing peoples "concerns" that Trump won't leave voluntarily

https://t.co/hOoe4oeVL7
22/ It was a clear and coordinated attempt by the media and social media to cast doubt on Trump's integrity and to create fear that there's a coup.

The only coup that is happening is by the democrats. But we have seen this throughout

https://t.co/KQwLb5aoBp
23/ Every single bit of violence this year has been created by the democrats. Looting & burning cities - threatening people - leaving more than 30 dead in its wake.

https://t.co/jYmiREiIiO
24/ Social media joined in to promote the fear mongering - and try to take a roll in the election despite never being elected to anything ever.

https://t.co/CvDZDwjSM7
25/ But we know why. Zuckerberg has his own interests that involve China and US relations AND he plowed millions into the actual election process

https://t.co/vSVIKScl6a
26/ In fact our oligarchs are very interested in elections and lobbying look at Pierre Omidyar https://t.co/md2mv6PT2b
27/ Omidyar is VERY interested in our elections https://t.co/HZrVGNt4wd
28/ When I say very I mean VERY

Pierre Omidyar seems to have a vested interest (about voting by mail)

https://t.co/Fo53H3vIJI
29/ Anyway - add a little Covid and some serious fear mongering - mail in votes on a grand scale - and sprinkle in the Dominion explosion of bull shit and presto you have this:

https://t.co/wKnT5zcoVK
30/ Aided and abetted by this stand up guy who has connections to Skull & Bones south
https://t.co/oDFhv6gWyw
31/ All to make the American public think that this racist lying, dementia addled placeholder was elected in a landslide

It's almost funny if it wasn't so scary
https://t.co/2Mv6TJocY7
32/ The reality if we don't fight? Kamala Harris who couldn't even stay in the double digits in her home state will be installed as a representative of the World Economic Forum.

1. Short thread - on the various claims we're seeing from Republican politicians over the last few days that the Democratic push for accountability is "divisive." Damn right it's divisive - that is what it has to be.

2. It is intended to enforce a clear division between those who accept and are committed to democracy and those who are willing to turn to violence when the vote doesn't turn out the way that they want it to.

3. One of the basic implications of Adam Przeworski's theoretic work is that democracy is made out of mutually reinforcing expectations, and those expectations are fragile. If some actors think they would be better off defecting from the democratic bargain, they will.

4. In other words: democracy and armed factionalism are far closer than we think, or we would like them to be. This means that it is incredibly important to police the boundaries between them. Allowing some to turn to violence can lead to expectation collapse and cascading ruin.

5. When we allow the divisions to become blurred, that means that we are running the perpetual risk of things getting fucked up. If a major faction turns to violence, and no-one responds, things can get really fucked up really, really fast.

Ok, it's high time to look at the REAL effects of Brexit. As the Tories implode & Labour sits on its hands, companies are executing contingency plans, shifting jobs & assets, slashing investments, or redomiciling (accounting exercise). Happening NOW, not in a fantasy future. 1/95

Barden Corporation is closing down its Plymouth factory after 51 years, putting 400 jobs at risk, as its parent company Schaeffler shifts production to various sites outside the UK due to Brexit.

8 health providers have warned of medicine shortages in the event of a no-deal Brexit: "we do not believe that the current medicine supply plans will suffice, and we will have widespread shortages if we do not respond urgently."

Pfizer - $100 million on Brexit prep: "Pfizer’s preparations are well advanced to make the changes necessary to meet EU legal requirements after the U.K. is no longer a member state, especially in the regulatory, manufacturing and supply chain areas."

The Government has spent £4.2 billion pounds on Brexit preparations (£2.2 billion in previous Budgets, plus an additional £2 billion in the most recent Budget.)

Met a Brazilian-American Lyft driver from San Diego who passionately attacked the racism of Republicans, then switched to passionately defending Bolsonaro.

If I were Thomas Friedman, I could tell you what this means.

Met a Haitian-American in a restaurant who said he'd always vote for Democrats because of the immigration issue, but that he has conservative beliefs too. "I don't want to pay for someone's abortion!", he declared.

Met a Latino Lyft driver from San Jose who said that while he was liberal, California was getting too liberal for him and he was considering moving to San Antonio.

Again, not being Tom Friedman, I am unable to offer any commentary on the political and policy implications of these conversations.

I guess my only thought is that political opinions are pretty complex and multidimensional, out there in the real world.

Ok as a French Muslim, i think, i must to explain to EVERYONE what’s this exactly about the “Halal” ban slaughter (1/8)

Recently, many have seen some tweets saying that the slaughter of animals with the "halal" ritual will be banned in France. (2/8)

But, unfortunately, this is the problem of the networks, no one will go digging to know more, laziness trivialized in these modern times surely. (3/8)

Know what you must to know it’s they banned only those who use the electronarcosis then they slaughter the animal with the halal ritual.
Before it was permissible by the French law but not by the European rules. (4/8)

Also theses three mosques (Evry, Paris, Lyon) who’re mentioned on many articles about this, you must to know now, they already cheated with the whole French Muslim community. (5/8)

I got a Toshiba T1200, which has a bad screen, and a dead CMOS battery, and I thought the hard drive was broken too...


but I rebooted it and heard a KTHUNK and a really loud spin-up noise and holy shit, the hard drive works!


and it still has files on it. the newest date is January 1994.


It's a 21mb hard drive, with ~37k of bad sectors.

This fucker is never going to spin up again, so I better go find some serial cables and copy shit off now.


The backlight is fucked so I'm shining a flashlight on it.

🌺कैसे बने गरुड़ भगवान विष्णु के वाहन और क्यों दो भागों में फटी होती है नागों की जिह्वा🌺

महर्षि कश्यप की तेरह पत्नियां थीं।लेकिन विनता व कद्रु नामक अपनी दो पत्नियों से उन्हे विशेष लगाव था।एक दिन महर्षि आनन्दभाव में बैठे थे कि तभी वे दोनों उनके समीप आकर उनके पैर दबाने लगी।


प्रसन्न होकर महर्षि कश्यप बोले,"मुझे तुम दोनों से विशेष लगाव है, इसलिए यदि तुम्हारी कोई विशेष इच्छा हो तो मुझे बताओ। मैं उसे अवश्य पूरा करूंगा ।"

कद्रू बोली,"स्वामी! मेरी इच्छा है कि मैं हज़ार पुत्रों की मां बनूंगी।"
विनता बोली,"स्वामी! मुझे केवल एक पुत्र की मां बनना है जो इतना बलवान हो की कद्रू के हज़ार पुत्रों पर भारी पड़े।"
महर्षि बोले,"शीघ्र ही मैं यज्ञ करूंगा और यज्ञ के उपरांत तुम दोनो की इच्छाएं अवश्य पूर्ण होंगी"।


महर्षि ने यज्ञ किया,विनता व कद्रू को आशीर्वाद देकर तपस्या करने चले गए। कुछ काल पश्चात कद्रू ने हज़ार अंडों से काले सर्पों को जन्म दिया व विनता ने एक अंडे से तेजस्वी बालक को जन्म दिया जिसका नाम गरूड़ रखा।जैसे जैसे समय बीता गरुड़ बलवान होता गया और कद्रू के पुत्रों पर भारी पड़ने लगा


परिणामस्वरूप दिन प्रतिदिन कद्रू व विनता के सम्बंधों में कटुता बढ़ती गयी।एकदिन जब दोनो भ्रमण कर रहीं थी तब कद्रू ने दूर खड़े सफेद घोड़े को देख कर कहा,"बता सकती हो विनता!दूर खड़ा वो घोड़ा किस रंग का है?"
विनता बोली,"सफेद रंग का"।
तो कद्रू बोली,"शर्त लगाती हो? इसकी पूँछ तो काली है"।

👇 Thread. New deck getting published this week: "Consumer startups are awesome, and here's what I'm looking to invest in at Andreessen Horowitz." If you want to read it, subscribe to my newsletter here: https://t.co/262t8eh0wf


1/ A lot of new consumer technologies have been introduced to US households in the last 100 years. But it's taken many of them - like the telephone - more than 50 years to get to the majority of the US. Why is that?


2/ We had to literally teach people how to use phone. Which end goes to your mouth, which goes to your ear. Say "hello" when people call. The motivation of consumers to talk to their friends has always been there, but we had to teach the behavior


3/ If you compare phones to the latest technologies, there's been a huge shift. Things are being picked up much faster.


4/ Even while there's been all this innovation recently, physically speaking, we are still the same human beings from 100,000 years ago.

I think I'm giving up on mainstream marketing content.

I'm giving up on social media consumption too.

So little substance.

Need to devote more time doing. More time creating.

Who needs another "5 ways to boost growth" post? I click and am disappointed every time. Not again.

I don't want to poop on content marketing, but marketers need to step it up.

Or at least, founders need to know that doing something is not always better than doing nothing.

Why is content marketing not as effective as it used to be? An innumerable amount of factors...

But one things for damn sure.

Things have to change.

Two of the chief sins:
1. Unoriginal research/story/study/etc
2. Not having anything more to add that's meaningful

Why blog/podcast/vlog/etc about something that's already been said? Already been done?

Do we really need another interview with founder of x hot startup? Do we really need another ultimate guide about facebook ads?

Not all content is like this...

Sometimes, you get an occasional piece that truly leaves you better off than you were before. That doesn't make you want to skim.

An original case study. A first time interview with a founder. An honest account of an experiment. An explanation of a change, shift, or realization.

MAHARAJA CHHATRASAL BUNDELA was the great Bundela King who revolted against the Mughal ruler Aurangzeb.
Chhatrasal Bundela was born in year 1649 CE in Maur Hill of Bundela region to Champat Rai and Lal Kunwar. He was the descendent of Rudra Pratap of Orchha.


His ancesters were the vassals of Mughal Emperor. He drew inspiration from his father and revolted against the alien rule of Mughals. He was just 12 yrs old when his parents died in fight against the Mughal Army of Aurangzeb in 1661.

When his beloved father attained martyrdom in the year 166, the young Chatrasal was present in the last battle of his father against the Mughal and from these valiant campaigns,..

..he gathered the courage to free Bundelkhand from Aurangzeb’s rule.
He joined the Mughals initially, and was recommended by the Rajput King Mirza Jai Singh to be recruited in the Mughal Army in order to support their Deccan Campaigns.


But serving the alien rule of Mughals which brought chaos and misery to Bundelkhand was unacceptable for Chatrasal Bundela and his father’s incessant struggle against the Mughals kept the fire of independent Bundelkhand alive in his heart.
