1/ Two people riding ONE #birdscooter plowed into me and knocked me down into the Kinross/Gayley intersection
2/ These #birdscooter riders were not only double-riding WITH NO HELMETS, but doing so on a sidewalk crowded with foot traffic and outdoor cafe tables
3/ This is the result of such asinine #birdscooter behavior:
4/ Could someone give me a back of the envelope estimate based on force of impact and momentum needed to knock over a 100-105-lb person, please? My head hurts
5/ Do you know: (a) how thick the heel caps are on Nike Dunks; (b) how much these (now-bloodied) Saucony socks cost?! These. Were. New. Socks. Damnit!
6/ By some small stroke of luck I just happened to pick up Band-aids at CVS before going to the gym this morning. The band-aids don’t help the headache and painful shoulder I now have
7/ Sitting on the campus shuttle and noticed I still have dirt from the ground all over my leg. It hurts to breathe. My shoulder is killing me, may or may not have been dislocated. To say I’m “displeased” would be an understatement
8/ Just washed the blood out of my once-new-then-bloodied Saucony socks. Glad I bought the Band-aid 100-pack. Clearly gonna need it:
9/ @BirdRide company and its irresponsible users are beyond a nuisance; #birdscooter poses a serious threat to pedestrian safety
10/ What, if anything, is being done to address the aforementioned issue? @BirdRide @DavidSacks @travisv @sfgov @dennisherrera @WestwoodVillage @LACity @MayorOfLA @ericgarcetti @CityAttorneyLA @Mike_Feuer @UCLA @UCPDLA

1/ Many disconcerting things here:
1. That third-party/media reporting may be more effective and trustworthy than university HR or TIX offices;
2. That cautionary whisper networks may have some degree of selection bias on who is or is not informed about whom to avoid;
2/ 3. The use of “x told y person within z amount of time” as proof of the veracity or plausibility of harassment claims (not all cases have this, but those cases are still equally valid);
4. That double-digit victim numbers seems to be critical mass for “university response;”
3/ Dominguez’ repulsive behavior went on for nearly FOUR DECADES (1979-2015)? That’s far too long for those at the top to have been oblivious

1/ In defense of pop culture in intellectual pursuits
2/ I presented this paper by @msalganik, @peterdodds, @duncanjwatts (2006) in a doctoral-level methods course on network analysis at UCLA. Authors are highly respected, paper has over a thousand citations:
3/ It would’ve been a disservice to Salganik et al (2006) if slide titles weren’t used for punny references to pop song titles or the music biz:

1/ I rarely comment on the gun control debate. I support reasonable, effective gun control. Yet, some liberals seem all too happy to dogpile on tribalistic virtue-signalling via backhanded insults to law-abiding gun owners:
2/ Many of these gun owners (my rural family included) also support gun law reform. Lobbing petty insults betrays: (a) dearth of knowledge on guns/current gun law; (b) refusal to see gun ownership as part of a valid cultural identity; (c) rabid desire to dehumanize “those people”
3/ All of these are equally problematic and divisive. So as a Mossberg 500-loving, blue state-residing, liberal Southerner who wants to see legislative reform of gun control, I say to other liberals – stop it
