1. This is "Hollie The Card".

She's a Doctor, Physician, PhD, MA, Clinical Psychologist, Hospital Consultant, PTSD consultant, Long Covid Consultant.

(Thread)

 2. Although sometimes she’s also an AUTHOR and English Academic.
3. A Hospital Consultant and ex Gymnast.

(Pinterest public profile)
4. A Physician, Doctor, or hospital consultant.

A “Hospital Consultant”, would probably mean a senior doctor, in the UK at least.
5. Hollie changes her Twitter picture and bio so often, it’s hard to keep up with her qualifications.
6. Hollie has become popular on right wing twitter and perhaps beyond.

With some high profile followers, like TV's Eammon holmes. And radio host Mark Dolan.

Former Kremlin advisor Alexander Nekrassov (Twitter username: StirringTrouble), follows Hollie too.
7. Two people that Hollie targets with Tweets, more than pretty much any other, are:

@Femi_Sorry, a British political activist

and

@DavidLammy, a British MP.
8. Hollie has tweeted negative things at @Femi_Sorry over 100 times.

She’s tweeted mostly negative things and insults at @DavidLammy, more than 300 times.

Neither of them have ever replied, so the messages could be defined as unwanted trolling.
9. What does Hollie say to @DavidLammy and @Femi_Sorry in her unsolicited messages?

Not nice.
10. The KFC trope.
11. What does darken the continent mean?
12. It goes on and on, 100s of messages.
13. And to @Femi_Sorry, the content is similar.

"Exported"
14. “Mental health” and “suburban terrorist”

There's a near daily barrage.
15. Can Hollie claim to having a transparent social media presence and “real” online life?
16. “Who Funds You!?
The real people want to know!”

- Signed the Oxford/Luxembourg Doctor Academic Author Gymnast PhD Long Covid Medical Consultant Lecturer.
17. It goes on, and on, and on.
18. A separate, near-daily, stream of insults.
19. Hollie’s profile might be somewhat vague about her medical career, variously a “physician” a “medical consultant” or a PhD / Lecturer.

But her public comments are unambiguous.
20. ”I am a doctor as well. You are a fat doctor”
21. "Fantasist"
22. A front line doctor.
23. Before 2020, Hollie didn't claim to be a doctor. She was a bit negative about the NHS and doctors back then.
24. Confirming Hollie’s status as a medical doctor is difficult.

As she has used many different spellings and names over the past 15 years.

Including “Hillary Faversham” in the mid 2000s. On her old website from that time.
25. Or Hollie Cardiff.
26. Hollie The Card’s unique Twitter ID is 770226141839974400

The account used to be called @ HollieCardiff before it was Hollie The Card.
26. There are a few other variations, but none show up as registered with the GMC.
27. Hollie isn’t listed on the University of Oxford’s staff and grad student listing directory, under any of her names, either.

There doesn’t appear to be anyone called “hollie”.
28. If Hollie is a medical doctor, or even an academic, wouldn’t it be better to post her views under her real name?
29. If Hollie posted her medical advice with a GMC registration number, or a name that can be looked up with the General Medical Council, her 18,000 followers would probably feel a lot more comfortable.
30. Hollie’s Facebook account is cryptic too and doesn't shed much more light on the medical / doctor question.
31. Welcome to Oxford-shire
32. Someone who has access to Hollie’s Facebook account, seems to have mistakenly captured a couple of seconds of his own face at the end of a video clip.

The last couple of seconds of this video, show his face, as he tried to upload a video of Hollie.
33. "Hello Sir!

Can you please tell me which hospital your doctor….friend…is currently a front line NHS doctor at?

Thankyou!"
34. Hollie’s medical advice might be appear a bit rude at times, when she calls other doctors fat, for example.

But thankfully her Doctorly advice doesn’t seem to include covid denial, or anti-vax stuff.
35. Everyone has the right to reinvent themselves, obvs.

But not everyone has the right to claim to be a doctor.

Or send near-daily harassment to political opponents.
36. Hollie used to call herself a “full time academic in the field of creative and performing arts", on her more recent website, now offline since 2019.

Which would be surely be a less risky claim to make, even if untrue.
37. Very normal. Very transparent. Totally Legit.

Twitter is, by far, the fastest way to build a high-quality audience.

Why?

It's quicker to write insightful tweets than it is to produce 10min YouTube videos or 1400-word blog posts.

Here's a thread of actionable tactics from studying the fastest-growing Twitter accounts.

2/ Fast-growing accounts have two things in common:

1. They spend 30+ minutes per day sourcing and refining 1-3 daily tweets. They don't wing what they say, and they typically sit on each idea for a few days.

2. Key: They write tweets that get *retweeted.*

3/ Retweets bring followers.

We polled people to ask why they retweet. They said:

1. "Retweeting is my bookmarking system for ideas."

2. "I retweet when someone's put elegant words to my thoughts."

3. "I want my followers to know I relate to this statement."

4/ So, to get more RTs:

1. Tweet referenceable content that people will refer back to later.

2. Challenge the status quo with elegance and wit.

3. Pick a debate and argue your side with a novel take.

The most RTed tweets? *Threads with advice like this.*

5/ How to write a tweet:

• Open with a hook: Make it counterintuitive or counter-narrative.
• Concise body: Satisfy the craving your hook created.
• End with a punchy zinger: Summarize implications of your finding and what it means for the reader.

All spring and summer I was resentful of twitter "leftists" for their conduct during the primaries. There are many things, and they were all absurd, but the most absurd was when those lunatics turned on AOC for complimenting Liz Warren on a fucking SNL cameo.

Then I hated "leftists" for personal stuff. Long story short some nutjob leftists think I'm rich bc I'm a tv writer. They're stupid. Oh, and I'm evil, a trait apparently inherited from my mom whom "leftists" told me was evil for being a landlord of the 3 family house she lives in

Well, I do look like exactly my mom. And I'm evil because I told ppl not all landlords are rich slumlords, so if you can afford to, pay rent.

But it all really hit me when Kamala was announced as the VP pick. The first black woman San Francisco AG, California AG, AND VP pick. FIRST. HBCU grad and everything. And "leftists" acted like she aint shit. Like we werent supposed to be proud of her accomplishments.

I was so proud of her. And twitter had so warped my brain on what "progressivism" looked like, that in my attempts to pass purity tests, i muted my enthusiasm for her. I'm so disappointed in myself.

Hey #optics and #photonics twitter

It's time again for the 2nd annual #top10photonics thread, where I compile my own #top10 best photonics papers list of the year!

See here for last year's thread:
https://t.co/6h82mPAn3w

A thread 👇


Same disclaimers as last time:
1. These aren't just papers that were published in 2020. They are papers that were added to my library in 2020. Some are a little older — some are a lot older. All are interesting or exciting to me in some way.

2. I reiterate - TO ME. This list is highly subjective, and is mostly about what captured my imagination most, not about what will make the biggest impact, or what is most worth funding. The order is mostly arbitrary too. This is just for fun :)

3. Once again I am NOT including any of my papers, or any from my current or former groups. If you're curious about what I do, drop a proverbial tip in my jar and peruse my publication list

And while I have your attention, register for #POM20ja, happening in 2 weeks. (It's free!) It's a completely reinvented @PhotonicsMeetup, and it promises to be a great time!

Now, on to the main event!

I am reading through reams of late-1920s communist poetry and easily my favourite title so far is: "To a Lady who Rejected a Poem about Spring as a Petit-Bourgeois Deviation"

The last lines:
"So here's my hat into the air,
Three cheers for your amazing hair,
For coal mines, and for turbines, too,
For steel, the Comintern and you!"

A not exactly graceful (though possibly satirical) title: "Lines Disassociating Myself from Yessenin and Supporting the Otherwise Unfounded Legend that I am a Foremost Proletarian Writer"

An excerpt:
"Goodbye verses of Yessenin
Goodbye literary slop-
You are not the line of Lenin
You are not the line of WAPP

Never shall I moan a
simple lyric from the heart
I'll devote my new corona
to the proletarian art"

The poet was Joseph Freeman, who published much of his revolutionary verse in the New Masses, a stylish journal of the interwar American literary Left.

How to sell option?
Here let me explain through simple math.
Say BN at 30000
30000 straddle trading at combine premium 800 ( based on current volatility)
Put at 400
Call at 400
You don’t know direction. Sold both.

If move will not come than both will decrease gradually.

At day end it will come down to 720-740 if move will not come. Difference is your profit.

Now case 2:
Move started.
At one points combine premium will start increasing.
Say 810.
Exit immediately. No need to do adjustment.
Let market settle.

Sell again straddle once market settle.
Now repeat same thing.

Straddle selling webinar over.
Good luck.

One can keep SL 550 for both strike to escape from sudden movement.

Published a new essay: The red flags and magic numbers that investors look for in your startup’s metrics – 80 slide deck included!


This was a deck that I created on my (longish) interview process with @a16z. It was a long path, starting with meeting folks at the firm 10 years ago. But the purpose of the deck was to explain how I would use my superpower in an investing context

Here's what I explain in the deck. As investors (whether angel or VC) we're often confronted with an up-and-to-the-right graph. Is it going to go up? Or down?


One solution to forecast these growth curves is the Growth Accounting Framework, where you add up New+Reactivated and subtract churned users. In each time period that gives you the difference in monthly actives.


The problem with this is that it's a lagging metric, not a leading one. We need to go one level deeper and look at the underlying loops that drive these numbers, to understand the quality.

UNTOLD STORY OF QUEEN BHAVASHANKARI OF BENGAL - A 🧵u must read

Know the role of Naga Sadhus

PART-1

One of the most underrated empires to ever grace India is the kingdom of Bhurshut from central Bengal.

1/


A medieval powerhouse this kingdom stood firm against the Pathan invasion from Orissa twice, and with each time devastating the enemy forces.

Along with this, we also have to note that this was the time when the empire was under the reign of a widowed queen named Bhavashankari.

She wasn’t even born in a royal family and yet she achieved what most of the kings couldn’t do

This begs the question, why does no one remember this great kingdom?

3/

Bhurshut empire thrived from 15th century till late 18th century as an independent kingdom while acting as tributary state with full autonomy.

4/

What’s even more puzzling is that no one knows about the great queen Bhavanshakari who thrashed the Pathans single handedly without the aid of their allies.

Stambheshwar Mahadev Temple, Kavi Kamboi, Bharuch, Gujarat

Stambheshwar Mahadev is a Hindu Temple dedicated to Bhagwan Shiva, located in Kavi Kamboi in Bharuch District District of Gujarat, India. The Temple is about 150 years old. 1/n


The Temple is also known as the Submerging temple. The Temple is flanked by the Arabian Sea on one side and the Bay of Cambay on the other side.

As per legend, Tarakasura troubled the common people, sages and devas a lot. 2/n


Hence, Bhagwan Kartikeya k!lled him, but later he felt guilty for killing a demon who was a great devotee of Shiva. He went to Prabhu Vishnu and told about his guilty. Bhagwan Vishnu advised him to install a Shiva Linga to get relief from the sin. 3/n


As advised, he installed the Shiva Linga in this place and prayed to Bhagwan Shiva to forgive his sin.
The temple is located in Kavi Kamboi between the shores of Bay of Cambay and the Arabian Sea. This Temple is very simple temple in terms of architecture. 4/n


Every day, during the high tide hours, the temple submerges, and when the tide level becomes normal, the temple reappears again. The Temple houses a 4 feet high Shiva lingam. The Lingam can be seen during low tide. The visit to the temple should be planned in such a way that..5/n
