More from Twitter

1/ My first @threadapalooza. I've been managing people for 18+ yrs and tweeting about it for 10. Here's 100 tweets on what I've learned and try to implement in my work @PermanentEquity :

2/ If a company's highest paid people had jobs they'd only observed, had never trained for, and had no actual experience doing, you'd think it was crazy. Yet this describes people managers in most orgs.

3/ Managing people is not a promotion in your current line of work. It is an entirely new career that uses a different set of skills. Train. Your. People Managers.

4/ If your employees feel like they have to manage people to make more money, that's a fail. Management jobs are for people who are passionate about helping others optimize their gifts, not just for people looking for more compensation.

5/ Provide non-management career options that offer better compensation for specializing in a certain area and documenting/communicating what you know. This helps keep bad managers out of management.

THE DANGERS OF FEMINISTS THEORIES OF DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Mary(Not real name) was a friend I met on Twitter. We had good conversations but disagreed on how Twitter court of public opinions handled rape issues. We agreed to meet and our first meeting was at her place.

She brought up the issue of why I always sat on the fence and why I always wanted to hear from the other party because it means I support the “rapist” – RAPIST? I found it funny because how do you label someone a rapist just from an allegation?

You didn't hear from the accused & never want to hear the details of the allegation because you deem it insensitive. Mary explained that she was a victim and she is still traumatized and she asked if I knew just being a guy suffices to make her feel unsafe because she was alone?

That is why she normally prefers having her flatmate around or at least pretend her flatmate was around when she had a male visitor. I said her fears were valid because, stranger danger.
We ate lunch, gisted, played scrabble (which she cheated to win. Lool) and saw a movie.

When it was time to leave, I turned and asked her, do you know if you went on Twitter to say I raped you, nobody would ask question? They will believe because you are a woman. She nodded in the affirmative and said she knows.

How To Twitter For SWers (thread):

Twitter can be a great place to grow your fan base, client list, following, etc. It can also be a nightmarish, drama-filled, confusing hellscape. Here are my tips to maximize your Twitter experience.

1/

First understand that Twitter and all social media is only valuable if it adds to your business, as it makes you more money. We’re not tweeting for honor, notoriety, fame. We are tweeting to increase sales. Remember this always, in everything you do, especially social media. 2/

Is Twitter even necessary? Listen, for a long time, SWers were able to make bank without the aid of social media, so the argument can definitely be made that you don’t need to be on social media at all to be successful. And if you’re doing as well as you want to be and/or you 3/

don’t enjoy social media, then you by no means have to master, or even have a Twitter presence. I personally believe in using all the free advertising I can, so while Twitter still allows SWers, I’ll be 4/

here taking advantage of the free exposure. Don’t feel the need to be a Twitter personality if you don’t like it, don’t want or need more exposure or simply don’t find that it adds to your revenue. However, if you hope to improve in these areas, Twitter can be a great way to 5/

So regarding to my "bombshell"...it's perhaps a bit less dramatic than many presumed, yet it still troubles me a lot, to the point that I wondered whether I should stop posting on certain things

I'm going to make a bomb shell statement here around the turn of the year, something so risky that I face prospects of the Twitter account being attacked or even banned.

It's about my very uneasy Twitter experience over the past 2-6 months, the worst I could ever remember.

You see, I realized in the last few months that, by translating information and news related to one of the fastest growing spaceflight powers of the world...I inadvertently became a spreader of PRC propaganda.

And with me exactly 180 degrees away from them, I feel scared.

It actually started a few years ago - it's not hard to meet Chinese Twitter users interested in spaceflight, either those living overseas or find a way to climb over the wall. Not surprisingly, many of these S/F enthusiasts are interested in their own military too.

This steadily grew with my followers' count until the flagship Chinese spaceflight missions of 2020 (Chang'e 5 especially but also many others) brought in dozens of them liking/re-tweeting my info tweets sometimes, and similar no. of such followers every month.

I do casually check these new followers/users sometimes. To my horror, far too many of them routinely insults, attacks, mocks others who they see as "anti-China" or spread potential mis-information, even blatant attacks, that started off w/ their state media/spokesperson.

This is from the official Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence DOD account on Twitter. Ezra Cohen-Watnick - after being appointed by Trump to chair an influential declassification board - "likes" a tweet that implies he is "Q."
119/7 = 17 & Q = 17

119 \u27977 is now the Chairman of the Public Interest Declassification Board. This new information could be of importance to many. I wonder what that could mean for those who have taken actions to obscure potentially damaging information from the public view?
