Have the courage to call the NSS an explicitly white nationalist tract or say nothing at all.

If you're focused on "reindustrialization" or "competition" and you skip the core message, you're a useful idiot at best, an active collaborator at worst.

All they have left is their own idea that somehow they are better than everyone else & a stock market predicated on multiple bubbles converging.

The ultra-rich are claiming an increasing share of global wealth, report shows The wealth of the ultra-rich is undergoing a historic surge. This is the key takeaway of the third major report of the World Inequality Lab co-directed by French economist Thomas Piketty, which emphas...

There are 56,000 of them, the wealthiest 0.001% of the planet with at least €254 million in assets. Together, they now own three times more than the poorest half of humanity or 2.8 billion adults …Back in 1995, the 0.001% held "only" twice as much as the poorest half.

*N.B.: I don’t use any other Meta products, but this one was a necessity to be able to operate in an environment where it’s how everyone communicates with one another. Otherwise, I wouldn’t.

Meanwhile, over on What’s App, someone keeps trying to add me to a Robinhood group. Meta only caught 3 out of 4 of these groups.

These all occurred within the last ten minutes.

My mother received a notice that her “Neflix” account was overdue & going to collections if she didn’t click this link.

1) Things aren’t being sent to the spam folder anymore, so that’s fun.

2) I’ve decided it would be a great name for a dialysis company.

‘The far left people of the board’ ( who don’t want a rate cut? Who are black?)

Maybe it was the whole primitive, hateful idea of the feminine as dark, blind, weak, and evil that I saw shaking itself to pieces, imploding, crumbling into wreckage on a desert ground. And I rejoiced to see it fall. I still do.

You could also just say, "Tom Waits Turns 75."

Some of them are even willing to talk about labor.

Bright spot: you know the $12 billion bribe to farmers? An increasing number of them & their suppliers (like Deere) are pointing out how disastrous Trump’s policies are for them, even with the $12 billion bailout built in.

Money does them very little good without suppliers or buyers.

Democrat wins Miami mayor’s race for the first time in nearly 30 years Democrat Eileen Higgins has won the Miami mayor’s race over a Republican endorsed by President Donald Trump.

This is a big sign of weakness in a traditional GOP stronghold apnews.com/article/miam...

Cannot believe we're doing IQ is sensible yet again but of course we are; 🧵 by me for non experts to get to grips with what's up here

Agreed. 👎

What a lot of people on the internet don't seem to realise is that a vital part of reading between the lines is also reading the actual lines.

I never stopped —IDGAF what people think one way or the other.

Non-industry compromised scientists keep saying these models don't become safe, no matter what, but people keep thinking just because the concept of guardrails is mentioned it must work. By definition, it doesn't. This is not something open to discussion, unless you're a paid shill.

If you want to halt the rise of the far right, you shouldn’t be joining the far right.

This should be obvious, yes?

See also anyone else trying to reason with these folks. All you can do is limit their impact, & you can’t do that by attempting to appeal to them.

Move on. Your job is to do your job. Do your job.

9 Dec 1978 , #Chic started a 7 week run at No.1 on the US singles chart with 'Le Freak.' Nile Rodgers stated that the song was devised on New Years Eve 1977, after he & his bassist were refused entry to Studio 54. He said the lyrics of the chorus were originally "Fuck off!" rather than "Freak out!"

It’s la poule ou l’œuf really, isn’t it?

I am fascinated by authors who found success writing in languages that were not their native languages.

What did second language acquisition contribute to their facility with using the language in that way?

Feliz aniversário, Clarice! Obrigada por nos lembrar que “o inesperado bom também acontece”. ❤️

That’s what they’re there for. It’s okay if you’re the one who needs it.

Test case: someone continue to use Calibri & see if he fires you for it.

If the snuff film is so perfect, why not share it not just with the full Congress but also the American public?

After all, the U.S. taxpayer paid for its production.

He had nothing better to do with his time than pick out a font.

Wow. People in charge of things truly don’t do anything useful, do they?
