Thread of terrorist leaders if they were drugs

Osama bin Laden - weed

old school, a true classic, kinda boring, your parents probably talk about it a lot
Ayman Al-Zawahiri - Rohypnol

old, creepy, puts you to sleep in ten minutes flat, once he comes out nobody is having a good time and the police needs to get involved
Abubakar Shekau - Crack

very high energy, much bigger than anyone ever thought it'd be, for when the original is too elitist for you, speaking in tongues is just part of the deal
Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi - Alcohol

everyone knows about it, easy to pretend it's not a problem until it's A REAL BIG PROBLEM, not great for the waist line, when it ends it's messy and children probably get hurt
Enrique Tarrio - Bath Salts

new kid on the block, kinda weird, makes you start dumb shit you can't get up, your mom probably thinks its a cleaning product, really desperately needs to be regulated
Iyad Ag Ghaly - LSD

used to be really cool, was in a band once, great at parties, good intentions, comes in nice friendly packaging, one lick and now you're standing in your living room holding a bloody knife staring at the corpse of your gf and there's spiders under your skin
Abdelmalek Droukdel - Magic Mushrooms

likes to stare at a white wall and think about the universe, hiking is fun, forgets to shower a lot, everything is changing to quickly we should retvrn to nature, nobody understands what you're saying
Abu Mohammad Al-Julani - Cocaine

expensive, energetic, youthful, can be found in surprisingly high class company, has a lot of ideas he'd like to tell you about
David Duke - literally just licking a toad

gross, slimy, i understand why people fell for this shit in the middle ages but its 2021 and just why??, seriously dude get help, disgusting
Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi - Ketamine

always weird when a professional brings it up, just kinda bumbling around aimlessly, you were supposed to do something but what was it again?
Joseph Kony - PCP

was a big deal once for like a week, manic, doesn't seem very in touch with reality, KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN
José Antonio Urrutikoetxea - Barbituates

real big in the 70s, for people with legitimate anxiety issues, and people who are WAY overreacting to legitimate anxiety issues, you always forget that it's still around
Ahmad Umar - Opiates

your dealer can look like a reputable source, seems like an easy way to fix some legitimate problem, a scourge on the middle class and in control of most of the backlands, once its in a community youre never getting rid of it
the last ones were just for @KroszKrisz

and were officially done

These people weren't murdered. They were legally executed after convictions for horrendous crimes, being sentenced to the death penalty, and going through countless appeals.


You can oppose the death penalty as a punishment without pretending that the people executed were victims or that carrying out those executions is comparable to murder.

As an example: Daniel Lee was a white supremacist who murdered a family (including an 8-year-old girl) by suffocating them with bags and then dumping their bodies in a swamp.

That's whose name @CoriBush wants you to remember.

Wesley Purkey admitted to kidnapping, raping, and then murdering a 16-year-old girl named Jennifer Long. He then dismembered her body. He also beat an 80-year-old woman to death.

Maybe we should learn the names of his victims instead, @CoriBush?

Dustin Honken was a meth dealer that murdered 5 people, including 2 girls under the age of 11, because their dad was set to testify against him on drug charges. He was specifically sentenced to death for killing the 2 kids.

In light of this serious cyber attack and this being the second in a row that I've heard in the past few weeks, I'd like to take this moment to talk about the cyber attack known as #phishing so that others do not fall prey to it and stay safe online.

Thread starts:

Phishing is usually a means of contacting you by impersonation to gather data, oversimplifying it. This can happen in several ways:
1. URL similarities: Usually when people visit a webpage, most people never check the URL (Uniform Resource Locator). For example, a fake URL of

https://t.co/x0brAMyKgF would be https://t.co/HrdE9hklv1. Seem the same, right? No. I've replaced one single character of "L" in @Google with "I". Therefore, your entire data would be redirected to the server that is hosting GOOGIE, instead of GOOGLE. This is commonly

hackers perform cyber attacks. However this is only one of many.
Many people might forward you genuine links with small "add-ons" which enter your system like a Trojan Horse. A beautiful meme of keyboard cat on the outside but a vicious data-mining link on the inside.

There's also other means of doing this. And you might think "But dude, who's stupid enough to fall for it?"
LOTS of UNINFORMED people are.
2020 was a record breaking year for phishing websites and attacks as per @techradar. It's not just through

I'm going to do two history threads on Ethiopia, one on its ancient history, one on its modern story (1800 to today). 🇪🇹

I'll begin with the ancient history ... and it goes way back. Because modern humans - and before that, the ancestors of humans - almost certainly originated in Ethiopia. 🇪🇹 (sub-thread):


The first likely historical reference to Ethiopia is ancient Egyptian records of trade expeditions to the "Land of Punt" in search of gold, ebony, ivory, incense, and wild animals, starting in c 2500 BC 🇪🇹


Ethiopians themselves believe that the Queen of Sheba, who visited Israel's King Solomon in the Bible (c 950 BC), came from Ethiopia (not Yemen, as others believe). Here she is meeting Solomon in a stain-glassed window in Addis Ababa's Holy Trinity Church. 🇪🇹


References to the Queen of Sheba are everywhere in Ethiopia. The national airline's frequent flier miles are even called "ShebaMiles". 🇪🇹
