"saying to the person who was itching for a fight that he was essentially having both sides of the debate with himself." 😀 I need your wisdom, Leda! And sorry I can't help re: toddlers. Mine chose to be a rather boring following the rules one: no plug touching anywhere 😀

#LedaWrites My Thursday mornings soul balm, seriously!

Change in payments is only getting started With increasing payments options for consumers, the winner will be the option that gives minimum friction, maximum fraud protection and as close to universal acceptance as possible.

It’s Thursday, folks!

Real-time payments? Still waiting...
Also, I'm still not over being stuck in a downtown parking lot with just my phone because paying with it was too much to ask, apparently. So Canada, let's talk fintech 🙂

From my aunt in Indianapolis—a massive gatherings in the red states too!

Belfast, Maine. 😭 There are like 6-7k people in this entire town.

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Wow Chicago!

If you're one of those "where are the protests" because the news has been ignoring them the past two months, there are 25,000 people gathered in DC today, and 20+ blocks full of people in Manhattan, and that's just two cities.

The protests have been happening; you're just being lied to again.

Keep it up!

I feel there has been an invasion of Freds lately ...

Oh, I get mad almost every day by such incivility! Seriously! I'm with you; it's about attitude. Or the driver who absolutely must change lanes in THAT spot, blocking everyone at rush hour even though driving 25 m ahead would make it so much easier for changing lanes. Ughhhh!

PTSD We hold the line and spend time deliberately on the things that matter despite the stress because we know what happens when we don't.

🚨🚨🚨 Enormous news: the Constitutional Court of Romania has unanimously decided to cancel the presidential elections, G4 Media reports.

The electoral process for the election of the Romanian president has to be re-run in its entirety, with the government setting a new date.

What's happening in Romania. An analysis for the rest of the world:

On 11/24/2024 we had the first round of the presidential election. In Romania, the voting system states that the top two contenders qualify for the second round, where whoever wins 50%+1 of the votes becomes president. 🧵👇

I know people myself who will vote for him. Terrible, terrible, it's like they forgot all past and history.

Very worried about my native country :(

Happy Thanksgiving, Theo!

Where Theo is, people will follow! :) Thanks for not giving up, my friend. I've never managed to love LinkedIn ...

I so missed the fintech community from Twitter. So glad to hear about this platform and see it being reborn!
