Thread: Why banning TikTok would be a disaster for America

As if things weren’t bad enough in America, now they want to take away your TikToks. Here are some reasons why that would be a terrible idea. #SaveTikTok #NoBan

TikTok is a cultural phenomenon that has given voice and visibility to millions of young Americans, especially those from marginalized communities. Banning it would deprive them of a creative outlet and a source of empowerment. #DiversityMatters

TikTok is also a platform for social activism and civic engagement, where young Americans can raise awareness and mobilize around issues that matter to them. Banning it would silence their voices and undermine their causes. #ActivismNotCensorship

@AwooAssociation is having a staff meeting right now. Their staff has a message: Jasonafex, Kabs, PeaceWolf, and those who have taken over the convention need to go. They have done wrong by everyone involved and attending. I'll continue to let you know their sentiments below.

@AwooAssociation Jasonafex is giving the media update. He is in charge of it now. No nepotism at all there. He's making up a fake reason why they're switching their website, pretending it was just to shorten it to fit on Twitter. LAWL. just check awooassociation.org and see why for yourself.

Jasonafex has just said "We are not pulling people in because of the organization, we are pulling people in because of the convention." He has confirmed that the commercial gain of the con is the primary concern AWOO has now.

1/5 The importance of #priorities: Our choices reflect our priorities and values. Let's take a look at some examples:
Start a #business: $3k - too much
#Holiday payment: $3k - no problem
Our choices show what we value more – a long-term investment or a short-term pleasure. $QUACK

2/5 Our daily decisions, no matter how small, can add up to have a significant impact on our success. Let's take a look at some examples:
Healthy groceries: $200 - too much
Going out: $200 - no problem
Our choices reflect our priorities & our well-being in the long run. $QUACK

لالچ ایک ذہنی کیفیت ہوتی ہے۔ اس کا انسان کی مالی حالت سے قطعی کوئی تعلق نہیں.
لالچ ترجیحات کا فیصلہ ہوتا ہے۔ اس چیز کا فیصلہ کہ مجھے سب سے پیاری چیز پیسے کا حصول ہے، چاہے جیسے بھی آئے ۔ پھر کسی انسان اور رشتے کا تقدس اور احترام نہیں رہتا ، کسی کی مجبوری اور بےبسی آپ کے دل میں

رحم نہیں ڈال سکتی۔ کوئی بھی ذریعہ آمدن غلط نہیں رہتا۔
انسان باؤلا ہو کر رہ جاتا ہے۔ کیونکہ وہ شخص خود ہر وقت دوسروں کے خلاف منصوبہ بندی میں لگا ہوتا ہے ، تو اس کو یقین ہو جاتا ہے کہ دوسرے لوگ بھی اسی طرح ہی اس کے خلاف سازشیں کر رہے ہیں اور اسی کی طرح ہی بے حد لالچی ہیں۔

کیا ہم نے ایسے واقعات سن نہیں رکھے کہ ایک شخص نے اپنے باپ کو جائیداد کی لالچ میں مار دیا۔ بھائی یا بھتیجے کے حصے کو ہڑپ کر گیا۔ کتنی ہی جوان زندگیاں زمینوں کے تنازعوں میں دفن ہوچکیں۔ کتنے ہی خون کے رشتے خون کی ندیاں بہا چکے۔ کبھی سوچا، یہ ظالم لوگ کہاں سے آجاتے اور

What Bitcoin Did

@WhatBitcoinDid

NY has become the first state to start constraining PoW mining

Worth noting that advocates backing this aren’t following the science & experts' opinions

e.g. @jyn_urso @thetrocro et al

1/5

https://twitter.com/jyn_urso/status/1593600876165357569

Hydro accounts for 73% of NYs renewable energy generation.

Worth remembering then that #Bitcoin mining in NY did this…

2/5

https://twitter.com/adam3us/status/1482708883592384515

#Bitcoin miners supply high-paying jobs to areas hollowed by manufacturing exodus

“Majority of the mining projects in upstate New York, at least 11, are relying not on on-site gas turbines but the electric grid with a relatively clean mix upstate”

Fentanyl is a much bigger threat to children than Covid-19.

But Democrats don't want to do anything about that.

If you do the math, fewer than 20 healthy kids a year are estimated to have died *with* Covid.

"According to the CDC, 107,375 people in the United States died of drug overdoses and...poisonings in the 12-month period ending in January 2022."

(Why do I point out 'healthy kids'? Because it is understood that immunocompromised children need special medical attention, including the possibility that they take a Covid vaccine & booster regimen under the supervision of a licensed physician.)

A week from today, SCOTUS will hear oral argument in a congressional redistricting case from Alabama that could rewrite Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. A 🧵 on the arguments and what is at stake. 1/

Let’s start with the relief being sought. Under the map passed by lawmakers, the state’s Black Belt region is divided among four congressional districts - the 7th, which is majority Black, & the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd which have a Black pop of 30% or less. 2/

As a result of this division, Black voters have an ability to elect only in the Black majority 7th. In the other 3 districts, the Black population is too low for Black voters to be politically effective given the state’s *extremely* high levels of racially polarized voting. 3/

So a question for all of you who definitely aren't my doctor:

When I pulled local bruiser kitty off Napoleon 3 weeks ago, he sunk his teeth deep into my arm.

Instantly my thumb went tingly. It's still functional, but always sore and a bit numb now. I assume that's permanent?

This is the bite location. It's mostly healed now and there was no obvious infection.

I've basically been assuming bruiser kitty got lucky and severed a nerve or something.

My thumb movement ISN'T inhibited, but it's just always a bit numb now and painful if I proper stretch it

I should add I got bitten in a bunch of places. So if it was infection I'd have assumed a more obvious reaction in healing, there or elsewhere.

And it CERTAINLY wouldn't have been an instant effect I think. Which it was.

So I've been hearing some good things about @nextjs for some time, and seeing only enhanced it. Also I'm bored, and (arguably?) have some free time, so I'm going to try to remake my blog (with 1 whole post) in next.js just for fun. Let's #Frontend!

Today, MT House Dems & @MTSenateDems tried again to send retention bonuses to MT's frontline health care workers. Once again, Republicans blocked this common-sense proposal. #priorities #mtleg #mtpol

"If we fail to invest resources in keeping the health care workers we have here in Montana, we are going to lose them and further exacerbate our health care workforce shortage,” said @marycaferro.

“Republicans are so focused on out-of-state workers that they are leaving Montana workers--and the communities they serve--hanging out to dry.”

Thoughts on @Stacks as it relates to #bitcoin:

Proof of transfer (PoX): Stacks sees #bitcoin as the necessary ultimate proof of work, and doesn't care to duplicate it or use human-perverted PoS. Stacks uses $BTC itself as the proof of work, the skin in the game to mine blocks.

Stacks miners pay high fees to bitcoin miners. As part of the mining process, @Stacks miners compete to mine Stacks blocks by spending more bitcoin and paying high fees to bitcoin miners to anchor Stacks data on #bitcoin timechain. This helps support #bitcoin miner fee market.

@Stacks blockchain anchors/timestamps it's data onto the #bitcoin blockchain. Stacks sees #bitcoin as the most immutable data structure on earth and uses it. In fact, Stacks, by design, can't exist without bitcoin. Think about those incentives. Stacks is a friend of #bitcoin.

In the past two years, Surrey County Council has imposed deep cuts in the local fire and rescue service - downgrading fire stations and decommissioning engines. Amazing how it can now find £55,000 to spend on Pride rainbow crossings. #Priorities getsurrey.co.uk/news/surrey-ne…

"A spokesperson for Surrey County Council said: 'We will be installing a crossing in each district/borough [of which there are 11] in the county. The approximate cost is £5,000 per crossing including design, materials and traffic management...'" getsurrey.co.uk/news/surrey-ne…
