For all aspiring activists that plan to hit the streets.
I posted this on the 16th of June pointing out that at prior milestones there was a countdown.
6 days later we passed another million.
6 days isn’t really enough for a countdown.
Trump’s 3-Point Plan to Win in 2020
-
Attack the independence and integrity of the legal system;
-
benefit from foreign help and trust that by the time the help is proved, it will be stale news of scant interest to anybody;
-
benefit from voting obstacles, particularly those that will impede black voting, and super-particularly those that will wedge apart the Democratic coalition on racial lines. (The Trump administration is not directly to blame for the coming mess in Kentucky—states manage elections—but it clearly relishes such situations.)
”So now Bolsonaro’s close ally is safely ensconced in the U.S., presumably out of the reach of the Brazilian law enforcement investigators scrutinizing suspected criminality. And Bolsonaro, to smuggle his ally into the U.S. where he can be immune from Brazilian legal process, manipulated the public health order of President Trump that is designed to protect Americans from the spiraling, unprecedented coronavirus crisis in Brazil.”
Exactly Half
The point @dave (winer) makes about how much more information you can fit into 140 seconds of audio is well taken BUT with a text based tweet you can quickly decide relevancy before committing your time.
(It’s the same for Micro Blog podcasts.)
Emoji question for the cognoscenti.
I am using the #️⃣ emoji.
The second link uses a reference not the raw image - but the raw image is used throughout the site - like all other emojis - with no problem.
Any ideas?
With Twitter’s new voice tweet feature, I’d like a simple way to post a voice message to RSS … I have lots of working code for dealing with feeds …. let’s make podcasts super easy for the people.

Thinking about what @manton has done on Micro.blog
”Keep this story in mind the next time the FBI and DOJ start barking about their being trustworthy with the secret keys to encryption backdoors they want built."

Another great graphic from Visual Capitalist - the underlying data comes from 511 experts. Pause for thought. Example : around 21 of them think that we will never … ever … exercise at a gym again.
Missed this a couple of weeks ago - but love how thoughtfully presented data can deliver so much information in a single image.
The Article @ Visual Capitalist

It was only a few days ago that Hawaii suddenly moved from the lowest R number in America to the highest and now it is the lowest again .. really makes me question the equation.
Did he / didn’t he ask China for help to win the election?
It would be interesting if China released recordings and transcripts of him asking for that help. We know if he did that they do exist.
They won’t because it serves their purpose to have a weak idiot in the Whitehouse.
Wait - so Hey doesn’t support IMAP? Doesn’t let me use a client of my choice? Is a closed proprietary system under their control?
Hard to say bye bye because we haven’t really bonded - now we’re definitely not.
This is an interesting time in valuations.
Remember ORCL bought out pretty much all the pre SalesForce CRM apps AND Netsuite AND Peoplesoft …
