a twitter 10x brainstorm, hear me out:
IF every tweet was assigned a set of Topics via AI/NLP (auto or manual, mock-up below), and IF every creator thereby gained varying levels of “authority” in Topics based on how others w/ authority engaged w/ their tweets, THEN…

could we (1) attack spam/misinfo using next-level community curation (vs. censorship), (2) actually organize the BEST content on twitter, enabling billions more ppl to enjoy media by topic, curated by those w/ authority,(3) empower world’s experts in every topic, wikipedia style?

in the spirit of channeling love-driven-critique of a product into proactive ideas, here are a few thoughts on 1 (community curation), 2 (inverting media machine), and 3 ( incentivizing experts)...just $.02/riffs from a fellow product obsessive/community builder:

🚨🚨🚨I’m thrilled to release today a new mini docu-series about the power of symbols, memory, and story through an exploration of Monument Ave. in Richmond, VA.

New episodes drop every day, so be sure to check back for more.

Here’s the first one. Let me know what you think!

In part 2 of this mini docuseries we look at the Robert E. Lee monument and how such statues helped create a narrative of white supremacy in the Jim Crow era.
#History #CivilWar #Monuments

Monuments matter because they are symbols. Symbols matter because symbols tell stories. Stories matter because stories make us who we are.

Part 3 of this mini docuseries tackles why we must remove Confederate monuments.

Dr Madhav Ghate, practising Psychiatrist, Pune writes on:

Why Tennis is so much more than a game!

I have been playing tennis for more than 55 years. Played it at the school, college, university level and even up to national and international levels.

I have also played many other games like Cricket, Table tennis, water polo, Athletics and so on. But gradually Tennis became my first passion. So much so that my wife used to say that it’s your first wife. Now after seventy years of life, looking back, I have realized that Tennis

has given me a lot of things beyond just the pleasure of playing the game. Without a doubt I can say that I ENJOY life. Every day ! Being a psychiatrist, I have a habit of analyzing things. You see, WHY is an extremely important question not just in psychiatry but in medicine in

Novak Djokovic issued a statement regarding his #immigration status to #Australia to play #tennis in @AustralianOpen. instagram.com/p/CYnO7cDqbdj/…

How many poor people are in jails because of "administrative mistakes?" How many migrants are languishing in detention facilities or have been deported because of "administrative mistakes?" How many migrants can't actually practice their professions & instead perform much less

remunerative jobs because of laws which restrict their freedom to work? Deporting Novak or preventing him from competing, assuming #publichealth measures such as movement restrictions, masking & regular testing are followed, will neither stop the #pandemic nor relieve the

The Novak Djokovic v Minister for Home Affairs, to be held in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia tomorrow, may become one of the most important legal cases involving sport in this country.
#djokovic #AusOpen #tennis #sportslaw

Here are some takeaways from the submission put forward by #djokovic’s legal team and some of the arguments you will hear tomorrow:

#djokovic came to Australia on a Temporary Act visa, also knows as a 408 visa. It is not subject to any condition with regard to vaccination status. It was issued to Mr Djokovic on November 18, 2021.

@EmilyZFeng

Unverified post from Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai, taken down from Weibo within minutes, in which she claims (again unverified) that she was assaulted by former Vice premier Zhang Gaoli, before willingly becoming his mistress. Highest public #MeToo allegation in China

China’s quickly-stifled #MeToo movement has ensnared academics, journalists, NGO workers.... but never had a high-level Party official been accused. The burden of proof and the political pressure brought to bear will be huge. And Peng herself admits to having no evidence.

So quickly are social media posts being censored on Chinese sites about this that people are resorting to using #tennis and #melon (meaning drama) in Chinese to talk about this... both terms are trending on Weibo now.

#ToiletBreak e Querelle #Tsitsipas

Facciamo chiarezza con un bel thread

Si è parlato molto delle ‘presunte’ scorrettezze di Stefano Tsitsipas (e di altri tennisti) che utilizzerebbero in modo antisportivo il toilet break.

Partiamo dalle regole attuali

#Tennis #UsOpen

Il #ToiletBreak, in un match #Slam, è consentito due volte a partita.

È obbligatorio, una volta presa la via degli spogliatoi (con un giudice di linea al seguito), usufruire del bagno.

Non si può chiedere Toilet Break solamente per cambiarsi

A #Sinner, che non conosceva la regola, durante il match con #Karatsev a #Lione è stato recentemente comminato un #Warning per essersi solamente cambiato senza aver usufruito del bagno.

Il giudice di linea ha avvertito l'arbitro ed è arrivata l'ammonizione

I'm as big a hater as the next hater, but even I want @DjokerNole to win @usopen #tennis championship & complete the calendar grand slam.

#1, no man has accomplished this for more than 5 decades. Rooting against Novak at this point is like rooting against the next interplanetary rover just because you don't like the nation which launched it. This is an amazing, inspirational feat. Let's hope Djokovic can do it.

#2, yes, Novak isn't as polished & smooth as Federer & Nadal. But 99% of humanity aren't as smooth as those two. I love @RafaelNadal's honesty, openness & humility. I love @rogerfederer's grace on the court & ease navigating the press & corporate sponsorships & everyday life.

Before Venus & Serena Williams, there was Margaret and Matilda Peters. They were nicknamed “Pete” and “Repeat” for their doubles playing skills and last name. The Peters sisters attended Tuskegee Institute in 1937.

While they were in college, segregation laws did not allow African Americans to compete against whites, so the Peters sisters played in the American Tennis Association (ATA), which was created specifically to give African-Americans a forum to play tennis competitively.

After graduating from Tuskegee in 1941 they b oth continued to play tennis in the ATA. They won 14 doubles tennis titles between 1938 and 1953. Despite their great skill, the sisters were never permitted to compete against the great white doubles players of the time.

Sumit Nagal is playing Daniil Medvedev of Russia.. #Tennis.... I dont know why these players are being sent to be slaughtered... Nagal is ranked 144... Medvedev is No.2... What is the point? Just show your face & mark attendance?... #TokyoOlympics

Even in regular tennis tournaments of full strength (128)... Sumit Nagal would not be in the main rounds unless he goes through a qualifier...

https://twitter.com/KarmicAct/status/1419528550856593413

Spare me such idiotic replies... Keep quiet if you dont have brains... Nagal is a Pro tennis player... Olympics is once in 4 years.. ATP is round the year... So dont blabber about "Exposure"... #MoronicReplies..

@DrTimRogers

@naomiosaka dedicated her life to tennis from a young age and, upon reaching a long imagined first grand slam, she was booed in front of a crowd of many thousands. A goal of recognition lost, together with a very public rejection/disapproval
1/many

https://twitter.com/naomiosaka/status/1399422304854188037

She told of #depression that followed this loss, and of intense #socialanxiety, the latter focused around press appearances and being publicly questionned: an entirely understandable experience. I have met many other top athletes who share this perception of 'doing media'
2/many

Social anxiety is a recognised disorder that causes persistent, intense fear or anxiety about specific social situations: distressing thoughts about being judged, embarrassed or humiliated.

I caught the last set & a half of Marat Safin's victory over Roger Federer in 2005 Australian Open semifinal on @TennisChannel. Unbelievable #tennis & drama. Full match here

My impression is that nobody has lost more Grand Slam matches having had match points than Federer. Is that true?

In fact, Federer has a long list of tough losses in Grand Slam matches: this one to Safin, the Australian Open final to Nadal, Nadal's victory in the dark at the Wimbledon final, Novak twice at US Open down match points, 2 5-set Wimbledon finals losses to Novak, US Open loss
