1) I keep thinking about the insurrection that happened on January 6, 2021. I keep thinking as these people get arrested and released that it’s not enough. A first I wonder if I just wanted “revenge” on them, but I realized it’s not that at all. What I want is for something like

 2) that to never happen again. If a strong message isn’t sent out about these actions then there becomes a strong possibly it will happen again. With only a slap on the wrist nothing will be learned at all by these people. Even now you can see trump supporters and other GOP
3) down playing what happened and pretending like what happened is no big deal. If we allow this to happen this means we are saying their actions were not that bad. This is what they want. We however should want better. We have to hold everyone involved to a severe accountability
4) if for no other reason than to make sure those that would even consider doing something like this will think twice since they’ll know it’s going to result in more than a slap on the wrist. They won’t think twice about doing it again if the charges only result in something
5) like a fine and/or probation. They wear it as a badge of honor and continue on with their anti American actions behaviors and beliefs. However if these charges result in prison sentences and a loss of things like their gun rights. Then suddenly they’ll take what happened
6) seriously because that will have a huge impact on their lives as well as their family lives. I think also others seeing them held to a lower standard also make it easier for them to dismiss what happened as “not really that bad because otherwise why wouldn’t they receive a
7) harsher punishment.” I also think that members of Congress that participated should receive the harshest punishment of all. They took an oath to protect the constitution. They knowingly betrayed one of the most founding principles of constitution which is democracy
8) How can you be a true representative of America when you are will to betray the democracy of America as long as if fits your agenda and desires. Each one of them should be expelled and investigated. Most importantly however they should no longer be able to hold office.
9) this includes 45 and anyone that’s saying we should not be holding him accountable for his actions. He knew what he was doing. He had been riling up his supporters since the election and hoped that they’d be successful in stopping the certification. They knew he supported
10) a coup but somehow think that we should just dismiss the direct attack on our democracy and on America as a whole. They think we should just ignore his attempt to install himself as a dictator. Democracy only works when the people fight for it. So they are telling us they
11) are unwilling to fight for democracy. They are unwilling to stand up for Americans and they are unwilling to stand up for America when that attack comes from inside America. These attacks are the ones they should fight the hardest against. However they are telling you they
12) won’t. They are telling you it’s not important because THEY want to move on. They don’t want a closer examination because then they may have to admit their complicity in what happened. They may have to acknowledge their behavior contributed to what happened. That’s something
13) they have no desire to do, so they prefer to sweep it under a rug and pretend it never happened. Finally thoughts I do think there’s been a huge under reaction to what happened on January 6th I also think that’s because of how white supremacy is rooted in American society
14) white people are never really seen as terrorist. Too often their actions are dismissed as less dangerous than they actually are. Look how quickly the bombing in Nashville faded from news. If it has been a Black or Muslim person it would still be a news story. We
15) can not allow continue to white terrorism to be dismissed because America doesn’t see white terrorism as the threat of truly is.

Sandbank Danger, A Thread


Controversy Has Been Caused By The Digging Of A Narrow Channel By A Resort On A Sandbank Near K. Hinmafushi.


Hinmafushi Council President Shan Ibrahim Stated To Sun That The Resort, Which Dug The Trench Creating A River On The Sandbank, Did Not Have Ownership Over The Sandbank.

Officials From The Island Of Hinmafushi Had Traveled To The Sandbank To Stop The Process Of Digging The Trench When They Became Aware Of It, Said Shan.

Officials Were Now Redepositing The Sand Removed From The Sandbank.

1/ Something strange is happening with people’s sex lives. 20-somethings are having sex later and less frequently than previous generations. I spent several months digging into this for @theatlantic. https://t.co/5ehzmWY9wi


2/ This phenomenon—I’m calling it a Sex Recession—really surprised me. It seemed improbable in the age of Tinder, digital porn, and attitudes that are generally permissive and sex-positive.

3/ What’s happening isn’t exclusively American: Similar trends are being observed in other countries, including Japan, Australia, the U.K., Finland, and the Netherlands.


4/ One cause is obvious: Adults under 35 are less likely to be living with a partner than in recent decades, and more likely to be living with their parents—which, it’s safe to say, isn’t great for one’s sex life.

5/ But I also found other explanations, each with profound implications. The first, unsurprisingly, has to do with internet enticements. Netflix and other online entertainment may be substituting for sex.

Remember: Just because an idea is old doesn't mean it's good.

Knowing whether old ideas are more likely to be good requires understanding whether conditions have changed in important ways.

Horse archery was an amazing method of warfare for over a thousand years...then people invented guns, and suddenly this great idea that had stood the test of time became obsolete.

Then again, when underlying conditions don't change much, tried-and-true approaches are probably better.

"Learning the lessons of history" usually just means assuming ergodicity and stationarity in an informal time-series model...

at some point we have to recognise that the financial anxiety young people are living through is not normal. monetising all your hobbies is not normal. hustle culture is not normal. glorifying precarious work is not normal. self-optimisation is not normal.

all these issues have a single root and guess what? it's the economic system we live under!! but we're too fucking exhausted to even see an alternative to capitalism because we're so broken and fatigued by it. it doesn't have to be this way, we can seek a different future.

As Mark Fisher argued, it's easier to imagine the end of the world than it is the end of capitalism. We've been utterly brainwashed by every part of our society to think that everything we're experiencing right now is extremely normal! But clearly, capitalism is failing us.

How about instead of “manifesting” money on TikTok, we work towards building a more equal society? Just a thought.

Incredible! People in the replies to this are like “people who hustle will be relaxing when they get wealthy”. That’s IF and not when and still, that’s not a given. The fact we don’t see having a regular full-time job as enough “hustling” or whatever is so scary to me.

How to create a freelancing website that makes money.

Everything I've learned.

A thread.

As a freelancer,

Your website is everything.

First, prioritise its existence.

Second, prioritise its improvement.

The technology you use is irrelevant.

- WordPress
- Notion
- Carrd
- Wix

It doesn't matter which you choose,

What matters is you have a website.

Pick a platform that you're comfortable with.

If you can:

- Capture leads
- Add content easily
- Have a clear design

You're good.

If your website doesn't get leads,

It's not working.

Don't rest on a website that doesn't work for you.

Improve it until it does.

I think a plausible explanation is that whatever Corbyn says or does, his critics will denounce - no matter how much hypocrisy it necessitates.


Corbyn opposes the exploitation of foreign sweatshop-workers - Labour MPs complain he's like Nigel

He speaks up in defence of migrants - Labour MPs whinge that he's not listening to the public's very real concerns about immigration:

He's wrong to prioritise Labour Party members over the public:

A thread on the life and achievements of Muhiyudin Sayyid Abdul Qadir Jillani RadiAllah who served Islam infinitely as the Reviver (Mujadid) of the 11th Century!


Muhiyudin Sayyid Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) was one of the greatest Islamic Saint, Scholar, and Jurist. The honorific Muhiyudin denotes his status with many Sufis as a "reviver of religion". Jilani refers to his place of birth. He also carried the epithet Baghdadi.

[1]

Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani was born on the eve of the 2nd of Ramadan 470 AH. His birth was a great blessing for the Ummah. It was the arrival of the Sultan al-Awliya (King of the Awliya) of that era, which had been foretold for centuries before his birth.

[2]

When Hazrat Abdul Qadir Jillani was asked by someone what brought him to his high spiritual level, he said, The truthfulness which I promised to my mother. He related the following story:
"One day, on the eve of Eid al-Adhā, I went to my mother, who was then a widow and..

[3]

..and requested her, 'Send me to the path of Truth, give me permission to go to Baghdad to acquire knowledge, to be with the wise and those who are close to Allah. She cried, but she brought out 80 pieces of gold, which was all that my father had left as inheritance.
