@LifeOfJuIia parody account suspended

http://twitter.com/#!/TajGarcia/status/198506972222472192

In this case, however, we’re pretty sure the suspension has nothing to with silencing conservatives.

Amidst all the #Juliagate goings-on yesterday, a Twitter parody account was created. Since then, @LifeOfJuIia had built up a pretty solid following. This afternoon, though, several people noticed that the account had been suspended. In light of the recent rash of account suspensions, it was not such a leap to suggest that Twitter had also allowed abusers to shut down the parody account.

But here’s what we think happened: the parody account’s handle is actually written as @LifeOfJuIia, where the L in “Julia” has been replaced with a capital I (“eye”). The @LifeOfJulia account, in which the L in “Julia” is in fact an L, belongs to a woman in Sweden. As the parody account increased in popularity, more and more people tweeted at the Swedish woman by mistake and her account was bombarded by tweets from people she didn’t know. To her, it seemed that she was the target of spammers, and so it would make sense that Twitter might suspend the account that initiated the problem.

We could be wrong, of course, but right now, it appears that #Julia’s Twitter account was an unfortunate casualty of look-alike letters.

‘You’re worse than HITLER!’ The Simpsons EXPERTLY trolls liberal universities and SJWs (video)

The Simpsonshas been cracking us up by mocking real life for nearly 30 years (yeah, we are SO OLD people) so it’s no surprise they found a way to make fun of Social Justice Warriors and liberal Universities.

Although let’s be honest, most of these folks do a fine job of making a mockery of themselves already:

Brave New Brain

Here, leading neuroscientist Nancy Andreasen offers a state-of-the-art look at what we know about the human brain and the human genome–and shows how these two vast branches of knowledge are coming together in a boldly ambitious effort to conquer mental illness. Andreasen gives us an engaging and readable description of how it all works—from billions of neurons, to the tiny thalamus, to the moral monitor in our prefrontal cortex. She shows the progress made in mapping the human genome, whose 30,000 to 40,000 genes are almost all active in the brain. We read gripping stories of the people who develop mental illness, the friends and relatives who share their suffering, the physicians who treat them, and the scientists who study them so that better treatments can be found. Four major disorders are covered–schizophrenia, manic depression, anxiety disorders, and dementia–revealing what causes them and how they affect the mind and brain. Finally, the book shows how the powerful tools of genetics and neuroscience will be combined during the next decades to build healthier brains and minds. By revealing how combining genome mapping with brain mapping can unlock the mysteries of mental illness, Andreasen offers a remarkably fresh perspective on these devastating diseases.

TSA’s War on women? FOIA docs reveal more pat-down complaints filed

http://twitter.com/#!/MacFarlaneNews/status/273087422680666112

As Twitchy reported last week, a complaint was filed when a TSA agent exposed the breasts of Rep. Hall’s grandniece during a pat-down. The incident happened over two years ago, but was just brought to light when internal memos were obtained after a Freedom of Information Act request.

Today, reporter Scott MacFarlane continues his outstanding work of bringing TSA abuses to light.

Internal TSA memo reveals agency has reprimanded 5 employees, suspended 6 for using classified, “official” TSA info for “private purposes”

What private purposes? And what data was used for such purposes? Wait, there’s more.

Richmond, Va Airport says complaint about TSA allowing “felon” to work secure checkpoint has been “resolved to airport’s satisfaction”

— Scott MacFarlane (@MacFarlaneNews) November 26, 2012

What hasn’t been dealt with? The complaints over the TSA’s use of pat-downs and the allegations that women undergo pat-downs more than men.

US Rep Rush Holt (D-NJ), Sen Olympia Snowe (R-ME) Rep Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) have filed formal complaints with TSA about its use of pat-downs

In his complaint to TSA, Rep Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) says females often report being patted-down while their husbands are bypassed

Of course, anyone reading Twitchy or Twitter would know that this seems to be the pattern.
