BC TWITCH
Saved by @jacobhtml

So I asked for Jay Postones of @tesseractband to state PUBLICLY the allegations against me (which led to my a) ban from his #Twitch channel, b) ban from the TesseracT Discord, and c) temporary (allegedly - we'll see, I guess) band from @Rockwithdan's personal Discord server) 1/x

 And I have received EXACTLY the square root of bugger ALL of a response. Nothing by email. Nothing by Discord. Nothing HERE. Well alrighty then. Stage Two begins.

The following is the text of an email that I sent, via an intermediary, Jay, early this morning. Enjoy!
"I'm really NOT a bad person. I would hope that, if "actions speak louder than words" then my public, visible-to-ALL actions within the Twitch Music Community over the last, say, six months, would stand testament to that. But obviously not as far as "Glassships" is concerned" 2/x
" And obviously Jay has decided to stand by his mod. On the one hand, that speaks to admirable loyalty by Jay to his team of moderators, but here's the thing - in my months of infesting both Jay's stream and yours with my unspeakable toxicity, I have never ONCE 2/x
"a) seen anyone called "Glassships" in either channel. Not once. I make (well, MADE) a point of speaking with EVEEY mod in EVERY Twitch Music channel that I support (or have supported) - which, by the way, is over one hundred channels." 3/x
"You both were the beneficiaries of Tier 3 subscriptions from me. Thing is, so were many of them. I wonder how welcome Jay will be at the next TwitchCon, once all of them have learned why cathesaurus withdrew support from every single one of them, because" 4/x
"because Jay Postones decided to get all banhammery on me? Let's find out.

I posted a 100% truthful thread, here:

https://t.co/ZnBI9t7eWg

and be in NO doubt that, until ANY allegations against me are posted THERE, in full view of the public" 5/x
" in an environment where Jay CAN'T get all banhammery on me, I will NOT let this drop.

Jay knows how I make a living. Which means he ALSO knows that I can devote 24x7x365 attention to this ridiculous situation because my suicidal distraught of yesterday has morphed" 6/x
"into Cathesaurus Has A New Chew-Toy, and, I suggest that he consider that I am probably better at this than he is. At the age of 57, I have had more than ample time and opportunity to learn how to wield the truth.

Please feel free to forward this email to Jay." 7/x
"I will assume that you have done so. And, as of 10 AM Austin TX time, he should be in NO doubt that I will take this to Stage Two, because he and his abominable treatment of me are now, squarely, front and centre of my to-do list."
So here's a dilemma - on the one hand I hear, via @Rockwithdan that I am supposed to "take it to DMs", i.e. speak privately with the moderators of Jay's Twitch channel and the @tesseractband Discord server. I WOULD LOVE TO, EXCEPT THAT, SINCE I'M BANNED FROM THOSE SERVERS...
and from @Rockwithdan's personal Discord server, I CAN'T MESSAGE ANYONE ON THOSE SERVERS - because the ways that Discord messaging WORKS and which I understand, even if Jay and his band of merry mods DON'T, means that I CANNOT message ANYONE with whom I do not share a server.
So at the moment, exactly NOBODY from Jay Postones' Twitch channel, or the @tesseractband Discord, or even @Rockwithdan's Discord, is talking with ME, and I CANNOT initiate a Discord DM with ANY of THEM. See the disconnect, here?
So, really, the ONLY means I have of speaking with the members of @tesseractband and the mods of Jay's Twitch channel, the band's Discord, or @Rockwithdan's Discord, is RIGHT OUT HERE IN PUBLIC.
So, here's my PUBLIC challenge to Jay Postones and his band of merry mods - if NONE of you will speak to me in Discord, or email me (@Rockwithdan has my email address, BTW) then either speak to me HERE, in public, or, by your silence, admit that I was banned for NO GOOD REASON.
ANYHOO... I'm all about supporting awesome musicians, so here's my favourite tracc by White Moth Black Butterfly, and you should ALL go and buy their albums RIGHT NAO.

The man who invented autocorrect should burn in hello.

It was meant to put a smile on your face. Please stop sending me instructions on how to turn my autocorrect off. 😳🤔

Texted my friends to ask if I could take their kids with me to Satan... still have not heard back from them. I meant Santa...

Thanks for all the love, I appreciate a follow. 💗

BREAKING: @CommonsCMS @DamianCollins just released previously sealed #Six4Three @Facebook documents:

Some random interesting tidbits:

1) Zuck approves shutting down platform API access for Twitter's when Vine is released #competition


2) Facebook engineered ways to access user's call history w/o alerting users:

Team considered access to call history considered 'high PR risk' but 'growth team will charge ahead'. @Facebook created upgrade path to access data w/o subjecting users to Android permissions dialogue.


3) The above also confirms @kashhill and other's suspicion that call history was used to improve PYMK (People You May Know) suggestions and newsfeed rankings.

4) Docs also shed more light into @dseetharaman's story on @Facebook monitoring users' @Onavo VPN activity to determine what competitors to mimic or acquire in 2013.

(MAJOR NOTE) The reason Manafort took over Trump's campaign in just 3 weeks despite being hired as a mere delegate counter is that ROGER STONE initiated a whisper campaign against Corey Lewandowski. That campaign started...days after Manafort returned from meeting with WikiLeaks.

2/ Stone and Manafort are longtime business partners; we'd expect Manafort to tell Stone what Assange told him, and for him to expect Stone to then pressure the campaign not only to hire him but quickly elevate him.

And who was Stone in touch with at the campaign? Trump himself.

3/ I bet you Manafort's late March emails are very interesting and that some of them are to/from his longtime business associate Roger Stone. And I bet Roger Stone's late March phone calls are very interesting and that some of them are to/from his longtime friend Donald Trump.

4/ At the end of March 2016, Trump suddenly convenes a NatSec meeting. At that meeting he directs his NatSec team to change the RNC platform in July to benefit Putin. Who later takes credit for that change?

Paul Manafort's business associate, Kremlin agent Konstantin Kilimnick.

5/ Why did Donald Trump suddenly convene a NatSec meeting 3 days after he finally hired Manafort? Why did he issue a pro-Kremlin directive at that meeting that Manafort's camp would later take credit for? What did Manafort tell Trump in the days leading up to that NatSec meeting?

I doubt there are many outside of Norway that know that the Norwegian pop group A-ha was critical in the introduction of electric car incentives in Norway. I certainly didn't. Read on...


In 1989, two members of the group, Morten Harket and Magne Furuholmen were in Switzerland with environmentalist Frederic Hauge, when they came across a hobby-converted Fiat Panda. Stated range: 45 km. They snapped it up and imported it to Norway.

On arrival in Norway, the regs didn't accommodate the registration of electric cars so it couldn't legally be driven on the road. Since it had a propane-fuelled heater, just like a motorhome, they registered it as a motorhome.

Moreover, in contrast to petrol cars, diesel cars paid registration fees based on how far they were driven, and our heroes thought this should also apply to electric cars. So the two-seater Swiss-converted Fiat Panda was registered as a diesel motorhome in Norway.

They managed (somehow) to avoid paying the one-off registration fee in 1990, and ever since then electric cars have been exempted this now-substantial fee.

1. Let's talk about the effects of #climatechange on the world's forests, with a focus on the northwest of Canada. This is also about electoral #greenwash, and my duty as public servant and right as private Canadian citizen to speak freely about what I know.

2. Why am I compelled to speak? How am I free to speak? The answer is in the federal Values and Ethics Code of Coduct (VECC).


3. It can be career-limiting to criticize government policy when you work for government. Duty of Loyalty is very, very important. However, as VECC makes clear, it is not absolute. In fact SCoC has ruled twice in favour of citizen free speech as a higher ideal. In 1985 and 2001.

4. I am therefore perfectly comfortable showing you the scary things that are happening in the North under a warming climate. A failure to meet global GHG emissions targets is hurting Canada's forests in a way we used to think wouldn't happen for decades.

5. Warming temperatures and rising [CO2] could, in theory, help green the planet with more vigorous tree growth. But that's not what's happening. Don't believe the #greenwash. The positive effects are over and it is warm enough that we are now starting the into the negative.
