Yes, though we have been on edge for deep fakes for a good while now, and remain constantly impressed at how well cheap-fakes and simple manipulations work. Deep fakes are the caviar of the trade, when McNuggets work just fine.

V-day 💝. As promised, here are some 🔥 notes about psychotherapist @EstherPerel. We'll focus on the podcasts for now because her books deserve their own threads.

1-sentence summary: Esther is a modern-day relationship & love wizard. How does she do


Let's start by posing a question I love, one I heard Esther ask a couple who desperately wanted their relationship to survive,

"Are you prepared to mount a little inner revolution?"

So twitterers, are you?

The thread will be broken down into 5 sections:

• Why the Esther 😍?
• How to criticize
• How to argue
• How to listen when the body speaks (aka nonverbal communication)
• Skillful therapy (observations & Esther's commonly asked questions)
• Uncategorised quotes I love

Before we jump in, a quote from @interintellect_'s Esther salon 🔥

"Love is a form of information sharing. You create a circuit of information between a partner & you, + you keep digging in deeper layers. There is an infinite amount of beauty to discover in another person" -Anna

~ What's Fascinating About Perel?

Mostly, I want to be her.

Couples come to her when they're stuck. She unfreezes them, moving them from stagnant to flowing.

Why is she so good at it? That's the question I'm trying to answer & the reason I can't stop analysing her sessions

Trump is gonna let the Mueller investigation end all on it's own. It's obvious. All the hysteria of the past 2 weeks about his supposed impending firing of Mueller was a distraction. He was never going to fire Mueller and he's not going to


Mueller's officially end his investigation all on his own and he's gonna say he found no evidence of Trump campaign/Russian collusion during the 2016 election.

Democrats & DNC Media are going to LITERALLY have nothing coherent to say in response to that.

Mueller's team was 100% partisan.

That's why it's brilliant. NOBODY will be able to claim this team of partisan Democrats didn't go the EXTRA 20 MILES looking for ANY evidence they could find of Trump campaign/Russian collusion during the 2016 election

They looked high.

They looked low.

They looked underneath every rock, behind every tree, into every bush.

And they found...NOTHING.

Those saying Mueller will file obstruction charges against Trump: laughable.

What documents did Trump tell the Mueller team it couldn't have? What witnesses were withheld and never interviewed?

THERE WEREN'T ANY.

Mueller got full 100% cooperation as the record will show.
