BC TWITTER
Saved by @Mollyycolllinss

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.
Mom was so proud. Told me that she immigrated here with Kamala's accomplishments in mind for her kids. She was VERY VERY proud. So were lots of my off twitter friends and family. That's another thing. "Leftists" are often shocked when the real world doesn't look like twitter.
it coincides with their not knowing how politics works. WHY ISN'T THE STIMULUS CHECK BIGGER? I dunno, bc you abstained from voting for moral (lol) reasons and when the republicans win and have power there isn't much democrats can do?
But if you ask "leftists" it's Nancy Pelosi's fault. Twitter search the word "significant" and see how many "leftists" ridiculed her for saying $600 is significant w/o reading the full quote or isolating that word "significant" in bad faith.
Nancy actually said “I’d like them to have been bigger, but they are significant” Does that sound like a bitch who thinks $600 is lit? Or is she trying to sell a plan we're stuck w/ bc Mitch is Senate leader and Ron Johnson cut the checks in half during debate ON CAMERA?
I know the pandemic/primary made ppl crazy. It made me crazy. And it made me crazy on twitter too. I was arguing with ppl, telling ppl to suck my dick, etc. Mean. Angry. No good. I never wanna be like that again.
Lots of us were being and saying terrible things. But I took a moment to catch my breath and decided to be different. I ain't where I wanna be, but I'm better. Therapy helped. So does Wellbutrin. Also weed, and I blocked a lot of ppl, friends included.
I blocked a (former?) friend bc when Kamala was announced as VP pick, she tweeted something like, yay! make women of color war criminals again.

Yuck.
That bothered the fuck outta me. First, bc according to your definition of "war criminal" if Bernie had won, he was gonna be one too. No president of the United States can be 100% pacifist in the real world. It's stupid and childish to believe. America is America bc it's America.
An American president will always do abhorrent shit in our "security interests" and after 4 yrs of silence on Trump's increased drone strikes we're back to shitting on a black guy and the not even in office yet black woman "war criminals" https://t.co/HkiRpKSDIE
I was especially offended by that tweet bc it came from a black woman and was RTed mostly by white "leftists" and comedy fans. I liked shorty a lot, but it's not gonna be a black woman shitting on the first black woman VP pick just to pass white ppl's socialism purity test. Yuck.
Which goes back to the race issue w “leftists.” They love black ppl until it’s time not to. Lol. I won’t ever forget this tweet from the son of a McKinsey director and himself a former employee. Lololololololololololololol
Suddenly withheld wages are ni--- excuse me, HBCUs' fault. As if some Amazon workers aren't black. As if HBCUs are undeserving. Wrote using passive voice as if it wasn't the WHITE ex wife of Bezos who GAVE the money or white Bezos who WITHHELD wages. Nope. It's black folk.
HBCUs, mind you, that were created bc PWIs wouldn't admit black folk. They are still underfunded to this day. According to Anand, that's who took from Amazon workers. Not evil Bezos. Negros. lol yeah FUCK YOU.

Ever feel like there is an “inner circle” of the 50 biggest finance/business Twitter accounts who all collude to give each other engagement?

Well, there actually is. Here’s how to join it:

First off, it’s not necessarily a group chat or a formal club.

But there is an unofficial group of the “big accounts” who all know each other and promote others in the group.

Joining is easier than you’d think.

There isn’t an entrance fee or anything like that.

The best way to join is to become known for one very specific thing that no one else is covering.

is the “self storage guy”

@Codie_Sanchez is the “boring business investor”

@Agazdecki is the “bootsrapper”

If you aren’t already known for something, no one will care about your vague takes. Almost no one gains a large following by starting out as a generalist.

If you have 1 major accomplishment or credential, don’t ever stop talking about it.

Seriously, don’t worry about annoying people. You have to be way more repetitive than you think to get your story across.

Twitter removed 800 followers from my account today. People have been writing saying twitter automatically unfollowed me for them. Follow me on Parler @robinmonotti & Telegram https://t.co/o5rFaSrCpa to bypass this.

I have already left both Facebook & Instagram. We need to keep agile.

They will try to ban Parler, blaming it for Capitol theatre. I think Telegram may survive as it's not based in the

Yes Telegram owner @durov received & accepted what effectively is an award, not a partnership: the Young Global Leaders membership of the World Economic Forum in 2017. Does this mean he passes users info on? I don't think so.

This is what @Snowden had to say about @durov. Since then Telegram introduced the option of end to end encrypted chats not saved in Telegram servers. These private chats cannot be forwarded, and none of the participants can capture screenshots of

For those who are asking: Twitter froze my account for 12 hours and penalized me with "a warning" because of my reporting on a religious organization (initials E.C.) who is behind the current anti-Pornhub campaign. (1/2)

If you google public record information on the leader of that campaign (initials L.M., a public figure) plus the words "Justice Defense Fund," you can take a guess as to why I was "reported."

Twitter punished me for literally doing my job.

Religious groups are already abusing the "reporting" system WITH SECTION 230 IN PLACE.

Imagine the future of journalism once Section 230 is repealed or reformed.

(Yes, I have receip†s.)

(No, I won't be using this platform as I have been. I've been "admonished" on the word of a religious lobby.)

Thinking about this tweetstorm, one of the issues I’ve run into as an engineering leader is what to call the software engineering stuff that’s “agile” given that the Agile Community(tm) has killed the brand.


2/

And by & large, I’ve taken to call it “DevOps”, because the DevOps community have taken up much of the mantle @KentBeck & the XP community started with. & Kent has independently focused on safe small changes deployed to production. Which is DevOps.

3/

Much of the art here is making changes safe enough to deploy to production continuously. And to do that, we need to design incrementally, test obsessively, take architecture seriously so we decompose dependencies. & we need to automate everything & do it all the time.

4/

It turns out that this is what Kent & @RonJeffries @GeePawHill & many other folks have been nattering on about & being broadly misunderstood. @KentBeck has some brilliant essays (scattered across FB & his site alas) & @GeePawHill has amazing twitter threads on the topic

5/

When you look at *what it takes* to get to the DORA measures that @nicolefv & team write about in Accelerate, the input metrics for the DORA outputs, it’s making small changes safe.

Magudeswarar Temple, Kodumudi
#Erode
#Tamilnadutemples 🚩

Situated on the banks of the river Kaveri, Magudeswarar Temple is one among Paadal Petra Shiva Sthalam. Kshetram is famous Parihara Sthala for Naga Dosham and for performing Tarpanam to the departed souls.


There are 3 sannidhi here for Paramashiva, Mahavishnu and Brahma Deva.

Sthala Puranam says that once Adisesha and Vayu Deva placed Meru parvat at the centre to decide who is stronger among them. Parvatam was held tightly by Adisesha and Vayu blew the wind to push Parvatham.


In this struggle, peak of meru  parvatham broke into 7 pieces and fell in different places as precious gems. Diamond fell at  Kodumudi as Magudeswarar. Panchamirtham abhishekam is very famous here. Vanni tree situated here is very old which contains medicinal values.


It is believed that Agasthiya Muni did Prathishta of Shiva Lingam here. As Adisesha is one of the reason for creation of the temple, this is famous Parihara Sthalam for Naga Dosham. It is believed that those who


who take a bath in the river Kaveri and worship paramashiva and mahavishnu, will be cured of diseases and will get relief from all illness.

Om Namah Shivaye
Om Namo Narayanaya

🧵EMA + VWAP STRATEGY

Every trader has a go-to strategy that works best for them. My trading is all about keeping it simple stupid and revolves around two indicators - Exponential moving averages and vwap.

Here's the strategy that I utilize on nearly 80% of my trades.

👇

What are Exponential Moving Averages?

EMA's are a type of moving average that places a greater weight on more recent data points.

8EMA = Exponential Moving Averages of the last 8 candle closing prices.

EMA's adjust with respect to chart time frame.

What is VWAP?

Volume Weighted Average Price - A key intraday indicator in my trading that offers the true average price based on price & volume.

Calculation: (Price x # of shares traded) / total shares traded

EMA's I use

- 8
- 21
- 50

While I do utilize the 50EMA, the 8 & 21 EMA are most important for this strategy. Some people use the 9 and 20 which are essentially the same thing. REMEMBER: EMA'S adjust with respect to time frames.

A+ Set Up Criteria - (What I look for)

Hinduism is a minority religion in Punjab.

During the Khalistan movement, the minority Hindus and Jains were subjected to several attacks. Hindu and Jain temples were frequently vandalized and desecrated. This thread documents a few instances.

Thread

Durgiana Mandir is one of the oldest temples of Amritsar. According to the regional Hindu tradition, the temple was built on the spot where Lava and Kusha bound Hanuman. The temple annually attracts millions of Hindus from all over the country.


Amristsar has a very ancient Hindu history.

According to the regional Hindu tradition recorded in the "Survey of Amritsar", Amritsar got its name from Amrit immersed by Lava and Kusha in a pond.


Durgiana Mandir was rebuilt in 1921.

It was used to house the Murtis of Vishnu and Durga which were thrown out from the Parikrama of Harmandir Sahib in 1905.

Because of its presence in Amritsar, it became a frequent target of radicals during the Khalistan movement.


In 1982, in what was a completely unprovoked attack, the Dal Khalsa "activists" threw a severed cow head inside Durgiana temple.

1) My Stan Lee story happened when I was in 5th grade. I was visiting NYC with my Dad and had read the address for Marvel in the comics I read constantly. I begged my Dad to take me and to his credit he did. And guess what? It was just an office.

2) We were down in the lobby and I was kind of crushed. I don’t know what I expected, The Thing and the Yancy Street Gang to be sitting around smoking cigars? Anyway, my Dad was taking a beat to figure where we were going next and a guy came up to us.

3) He was wearing a white shirt and tie and said to Dad “Is he disappointed because. The Marvel offices were just offices?” My Dad said yes and then the guy who had gray around his temples and a mustache said “hold on a second” and opened one of those office mailboxes with a key.

4) He then handed me a thick stack of EVERY SINGLE MARVEL COMIC COMING OUT THE NEXT MONTH. “Here you go. Keep reading Marvel comics” he said and then walked off. I left in a daze and about 15 minutes later it hit me “Gray around the temples, mustache... That was Stan Lee!”

5) Later when I wrote on the Ant Man movie I told Kevin Feige the story, the year, look of the guy etc and Kevin said “That’s exactly the kind of thing Stan would do and he would have been there then. That was him.” Rest In Peace Stan Lee and thank you for the comics.
