So this brings up a question I've long had, but didn't want the distraction of researching: Is there an easy way to get to some point in a user's timeline? e.g. first tweet, or November 1, 2020?

I don't think it's pushing a narrative. I think it's just sloppy thinking/describing. A nuclear detonation presents multiple risks/dangers, on multiple time scales. One of the longer term dangers is the dispersion

This is an amazing document, from an analytical and integrational perspective. It's also pretty nifty from a UX/behavioral perspective. An enormous amount of detailed thought and work went into putting it together

First off, China censoring anything is a "dog bites man" story. It happens all the time. It's not news to anybody with half a clue about what's going on. Second, what's your reasoning for why "liberal" o
