Jenna Ellis’s fake Roosevelt quote just captures so many perfect things about the Trump legal team.

Very clever version of the flicker-motion illusions doing the rounds. The ring doesn't move. The arrows are irrelevant. The direction is being set by reverse-phi flicker at the edge which is masked by the (also otherwise irrelevant) rotating blue/yellow stripes. Bravo.

Great example of using Twitter to deliberately miscommunicate here. @LindaOkaythen responded to a series of tweets saying no one should ever send naked pics. McGuirk reframes his thread then misrepresents Linda. Sharing images with partners isn't the problem, trust-breaking is

Feminists: "men should call out other men" Man: "Men who go around asking women for naked pictures are a bit creepy" Feminists: "How dare you try to drag us back to the 1980s!!!!"

Ghadi, who is from Syria, is a recent graduate of UL’s Masters in Business Management. While studying in UL he was able to capture the river path on campus in three different seasons (possibly all in the one day... but that’s unconfirmed) 📸 🍃 🍁 ❄️

God help me, I never thought I'd agree with John Bolton, but his description of chatting with Trump as "the political equivalent of blunt force trauma" 👏👏 I'm a sucker for harsh wit
John Bolton
@AmbJohnBolton20 Nov 2020
Two Michigan legislators meet today with Donald Trump, who will inflict on them the political equivalent of blunt force trauma. The GOP's honor & integrity rest on the character of these two men. If they resist, we must come to their defense. If they falter, we are in trouble.
Absolute gold!

Catching up on @PhDSummit "Mental Strength, Habits & Life Balance to 10X your Research!" with @FromPhDtoLife and @SusannaLHarris and one of the best quotes on MH in academia I've ever heard "Even Olympic athletes have coaches" It's OK to ask for help, the sooner the better

For anyone who hasn't heard, 1,000s of intimate photos were leaked on an Irish Discord server a few days ago. Some are from OnlyFans, while many are personal pictures shared without the owner's consent and represent a major betrayal of trust /1 chng.it/tkK8FJnvvM
