I missed #Muse23 Session 1A: Get Your Work Noticed By Literary Agents with Mitchell Waters and Miriam Altshuler this morning, but the recording is already up, so I'm going to live-tweet my re-watching. (Is that still live-tweeting? 🤔)
#ProTip: Sending super-outrageous things to catch an agent's attention might be so unusual that the agent forgets there's actually a query involved. Don't distract them from the task at hand!

Mitchell isn't a fan of synopses: if they're really detailed, he feels like he's already read the book by the time he gets the manuscript.
Lesson: look for what the agent's specifications are, and tailor your query to for each submission.

L'Action Française ne serait pas une menace pour l'ordre public. Du coup, la question qu'on devrait se poser est: quel est donc cet "ordre public" qui n'est pas menacé par les fascistes ?

#Protip: Ne pas amplifier les images de la manif de l'Action Française. Priviligier les images/contenus montrant la contre manif antifasciste.
Evidemment, BFM a ses caméras braquées sur la manif fascistes. Histoire de leur donner un coup de pub.

For those coming to #ISA2023, welcome to Montreal!
I called the city home until recently, so put together this 🧵 on things you can do. Hope it's helpful.
The city has tons to offer – especially beyond the trap of conference halls and Ste. Catherine’s street!

MTL is a city of neighbourhoods.
Explore them!
Three I recommend are Verdun, Little Italy, & the Plateau (esp Mont Royal street). All have great, quirky bars, some of the best restaurants in Canada, and are just plain beautiful and fun.

A visit to MTL is not complete without heading up Mont Royal (that big bump in the middle of the city).
From the conference, your best bet is to head up and through McGill, so you can check out the university.

Chouette article sur les horloges atomiques qui définissent l'heure officielle. La synchronisation fine passe désormais par des fibres optiques de Renater notamment, et par le Telehouse 2 (Paris). SYRTE est à l'observatoire de Paris (14e). syrte.obspm.fr/spip/presentat…
Du coup je tombe sur ce site géré par l'observatoire heurelegalefrancaise.fr qui fournit une estimation assez précise (à quelques millisecondes près) du décalage entre l'heure de votre ordinateur et l'heure légale.
Les horloges nationales du monde entier forment un réseau synchronisé à quelques dizaines de nanosecondes voire moins, donc si vous avez une bonne précision de calage avec une de ces horloges, vous pouvez faire des estimations très précises de synchronisations d'événements.
Champ lexical nuancé : "monstre", "frénétique", "responsabilité considérable", "catastrophe", "hors de contrôle", "aussi polluante que l'automobile", "exploser", "exploitation", "frankenstream" sur France Inter et Arte toujours dans leur croisade obsessionnelle.
Le chiffre de 100 Mt CO2eq/an est cité (à voir... discutable, suivant type d'imputation), on notera que c'est aussi le poids CO2 estimé de nos animaux domestiques, qui ne provoquent pas des émissions scandalisées chaque jour sur le service public. #jdçdjr
"C'était assez difficile de voir un vrai méchant dans l'histoire", "où était la vraie source de pollution". "80 % des débits sur Internet" "On tenait un méchant dans l'histoire", "On tenait une bonne histoire". CQFD ! Où comment monter du putaclic sur *rien*.
After a job interview, 9/10 times, you will be asked "Do you have any questions for us?" Do not ever say you don't have questions except you are not interested in the job. Asking questions and the type of questions you ask in an interview tells the employer a lot about you.
"what are the biggest challenges faced by your team in the past 6 months?"
This tells your employer you are already interested in their challenges and you are most likely interested in being a part of the solution. You will learn a lot that might help you with the next stage

"If I get hired, what do you expect of me in the first 30 to 60 days?"
This tells an employer that you understand your productivity has to be accounted for within a time frame and you know they have expectations that you are already interested in. You can't go wrong with this.

Trump complains that the FBI acted "with no understanding of the distress that it would cause most Americans."
As we consider video from this weekend of law enforcement beating a man on the pavement, this line makes clear, from the start, that this is not a legal document.

Reminder: It was conservative, Trump-friendly outlets that got the warrant in advance of its court release — almost certainly leaked by Team Trump — yet Trump complains here about "[g]overnment leaks to favored outlets."

Quite a few people ask me about buying large automated systems and other high value equipment ($250k - $millions). Here's a thread with my top 10 tips for large equipment purchases:
Here's the summary if you don't like reading:
1. Do a live demo
2. Talk to current users
3. Build relationships with vendors early. Find people you trust.
4. Don't try to make everyone happy.
5. Before talking to vendors, write an RFP w/ acceptance tests

6. Never tell the vendor your budget
7. Only negotiate with decision makers
8. Only pay $$$ when you are totally happy. Don't pay up front.
9. Learn how to read a contact. Structure your contract to avoid problems down the road.

I have a neat #protip for freelancers courtesy my financial expert sister. If you are a long term freelancer, register yourself as an MSME (valid for 1 person). If you're a small biz, by *law*, a company cannot neglect to pay an invoice beyond 45 days. It comes up in audits.
You know that form they send you to say you are *not* an MSME? Don't sign it. It allows companies to *not* pay you on time. Set yourself up as a small MSME and raise an invoice in that company (of 1) name. You will be paid in time.
any local CA who does your taxes can help you register.
They created a new, chaotic era of politics/democracy by allowing Trump/the GOP to govern by tweet. MTG, DT & ALL other elected nuisances who get booted from Twitter for inciting fascism created the precedent for their own exclusion, not just from social media but public office.
If social media’s really supposed to be a free market of ideas and conservatives really love free markets as much as they say they do, they should be able to let the chips fall where they may, but they can’t/won’t b/c they’re still butthurt that fascism lost the 2020 election. 🥴
Also the alt lefties are still mad that socialism lost the last 2 Democratic presidential primaries despite their damndest efforts to sabotage the process & because STILL WE RISE despite their online harassment, shadowbanning and slander. They all want a safe space for fuckery.
#Propaganda #protip: Never underestimate the power of the Big Lie. There have been NO studies about the implications of this, long term, because there CAN’T be. They would have had to sit on the #vax for YEARS to conduct them. We’ll find out the implications in future years.
Did you know the word “cisapride.” It’s the name of a drug introduced to the U.S. market in 1993, and ‘voluntarily’ withdrawn from the market in 2000. (It’s still available for vet use). Why was it withdrawn? It kills people. OOPS!
How did it ever get approved?

There were deaths among the test subjects in the clinical trials. But there didn’t seem like a lot of deaths, it was plausible that they were coincidental, so the regulators made a judgment call and approved it.
That is not a scandal. The scandal came later.

And of the one or two claims that do make it in, there is no hint whatsoever that the claims might be false.
The CDC has stated that the vaccinated can catch and spread the disease, e.g., but Kagan’s statement to the contrary is not challenged.

Another egregious example is in this Vox story; vox.com/2022/1/7/22871…. The #Biden administration apparently claims that covid is more deadly than smallpox, yellow fever, or cholera. That is complete nonsense, unbelievably wrong.

#Propaganda #protip: This is an example of #IntellectualBaitAndSwitch. And a typical #gamma move.
Mr. Arthur asked " Is there any real difference between [Rittenhouse] and a child soldier on the Ethiopian border?" I replied, showing some of the differences.
Mr. Arthur asked " Is there any real difference between [Rittenhouse] and a child soldier on the Ethiopian border?" I replied, showing some of the differences.
Now he opines about "well-trained militia(s)", trying to imply that this has some bearing on his initial question. It's like pointing out that Ethiopian child soldiers and Rittenhouse both are members of the human species. True, but it has no bearing on the subject.
It's a typical gamma move in that gammas can't bring themselves to admit they made a mistake. Instead of acknowledging that his initial wisecrack was wrong, he has to find something else he can claim to be right about, and tell himself it cancels his previous error.

How can that be? We have to plod through some numbers, that make plausible guesses about the data not shown.
If you go down the thread, you get a link to a spreadsheet that is less than self-explanatory. After clicking on column P, and doing some formulas, things clarify.

We have forty-five school districts with no mask requirements, with data for only 15. The number of "cases" listed in columns B through H seems to be the sum of staff and student cases. The cases in I are the total for that district, through the week ending September 20th.
So here's an interesting thread.
First of all, this guy clearly agrees with me about the idiocy of Rufo's tweets about the US pushing "woke" feminism in Afghanistan.
First of all, this guy clearly agrees with me about the idiocy of Rufo's tweets about the US pushing "woke" feminism in Afghanistan.
Secondly, he thinks it's bad that we tried to promote basic human rights that are contrary to "traditional Afghan society," like female education or female judges. He also thinks it's gonna make Muslims hate us everywhere. (#ProTip: almost 20% of judges in Pakistan are women.)
Third, I actually *don't* think it's a great idea to occupy countries & try to make them more liberal. But yes, I think that despite the failures, more modernization & women's rights in Afghanistan is a good outcome that may have lasting effects.
#Protip: If you want to see what self-blinding looks like, this is a good example.

FAQ: Is there anything you learned in 4 years of college that actually applies to your current job?

Answer: Not much, but yes. Here's one thing: I had 1 professor promise that if you ever showed a number in a presentation and didn't give context, he'd fail you on the spot (1/4)

Don't just tell me the market cap of a company is 10 billion and move on… that means nothing. Why are you telling me? Is it because last year it was $3B? Great, now I know they’re growing. Is it because their competition hit $6B? Now I know they're the largest in the space (3/4)
