2 / 3 Many superstitious Burmese people, including soldiers, believe that walking past, or especially under, a piece of clothing worn below a woman's waist will diminish a man's power.
1 / 3 One of the newest resistance strategies used by anti-coup protesters is to delay the advance of security forces by hanging htameins- women's sarongs- across the roads. The photos below illustrate how protesters in Yangonโs Thaketa Township employ this tactic.
For those wondering about @SignalApp's scaling, #WhatsApp's decision to sell out its users to @Facebook has led to what is probably the biggest digital migration to a more secure messenger we've ever seen. Hang in there while the Signal team catches up.
@eliokhattar@signalapp Trust me lol people wonโt
My whatsapp groups are all silent and my friends hv started to reach each other on Signal.
The transition is smoother and easier than anyone thought itโd be.

โUighur Jailโ Note Found in St. Petersburg Shoe Alarms Human Right Experts https://t.co/cPtN2AcnUL
A Russian citizen from St. Petersburg reportedly finds a note in a box of shoes from China that says:
"Help, I am in jail in China. Help Uyghur."
Would be good to investigate this more closely. (Link to Russian report in the thread).
A Uighur plea note sewn into a North Face shoe in St. Petersburg has alarmed human rights experts as China has reportedly detained at least 1,000,000 Uighur in detention camps, some of whom are then forced to work in factories. Reporting by @PjotrSauer

I am making these tweets to explain in one place some analysis that was done last night.
1 - I was asked offline about doing Benford's on election data. I explained that this is common and a useful way to detect anomalies in data that are driven by artificial process (e.g. fraud)
I don't think that the emails -- so far -- reveal a huge scandal. They so far just establish standard sleaze and DC corruption.
The huge scandal to me is the blatant rank-closing and cone of silence -- a prohibition -- erected *by journalists* around this story to defend Biden.
As a journalist publishing private communications & docs that are incriminating, you know the subjects of the reporting will immediately claim they're fake *if the are*. Of course they will: that would kill the reporting!
There's a reason the Bidens aren't claiming they're fake.
