@mwiikยทNov 17, 2016I hope Robb won't mind if I use this question to speculate about manufactured individual realities for a few tweets.Quote TweetJohn Robb@johnrobbยทNov 16, 2016Is there concept like the "overton window" that describes the limits of our tolerance/acceptance of fake information?112
@mwiikยทNov 17, 2016Replying to @mwiikSo, first a question, & I'm serious: What do I do if the muslim woman being harassed on the bus is wearing headphones?1
@mwiikยทNov 17, 2016Replying to @mwiikBecause, I've been taught (as have we all, yes?) that you don't speak to women wearing headphones unless they're on fire.2
Venkatesh Rao@vgrReplying to @mwiikyou call it out and help stop it. One principle concerns unwanted attention, the other threat prevention. There is no conflict.5:27 AM ยท Nov 17, 20161 Retweet
@mwiikยทNov 17, 2016Replying to @vgrI want too. I'm hesitant in part b/c I probably look exactly like the asshole doing the harassing. (No beard though, maybe that's good)
@mwiikยทNov 17, 2016Replying to @vgrAlso the issue w/the suggested intervention of just sitting there & talking to her about the weather, etc.1
@mwiikยทNov 17, 2016Replying to @vgrBeyond that, it becomes a tactical problem, so running thru the possible parameters now would take forever.
