Let’s play a game.

Look at your phone contacts.

Call 13 people.

Were you able to raise $1Million dollars?

No? That’s why people like Rudy don’t pay multi million dollar judgements or have to spend time in prison

Just get more ties to Q-Anon lunatics like the Borlands and cash in on favors to the Russian mob as a “thanks for going after Gotti for us”

Bootstraps. 🇺🇸

@flexghost I could raise under $1M.

...like, way under $1M.

@Rjdlandscapes "I had to wait until after I was 18 to vote, and the next generation will do the same. That's equal rights."

Weird interpretation of equal rights, being frozen at exactly the point this specific halfwit (Cameron Luxton) was born.

A key point: Don’t waste time engaging with “arguments” that were never meant to stand up to scrutiny. Call out the underlying reactionary political project instead, how these manufactured panics (DEI! CRT!) are intended to further it, and who is behind these racist campaigns. 1/

@tzimmer_history Constantly shifting to "Look, the way I see it <reframe>" or "At the end of the day <reframe>" is annoying but you can see why political leaders handle interviews that way.

@GottaLaff I nearly went into food science but got waaaay less interested when the cookie factory I visited to check the profession out showed me the large section of their warehouse devoted to QA paperwork with testing records that the food science folks did on-site.

(Thought it would be cool food chemistry, and it is, but mostly it's checking for poison)

Anyway those people made cookies and we're that careful. This place did baby food?? And didn't give a fuuuuuuuu

Right I should really try to sleep (or at least rest) because tomorrow is going to be really, really hard.

Exactly 2 months since the Dutch parliamentary elections today, and we're being kept in the dark on what's up in the negotiations to form a right + far-right government. "Candid talks, good exchanges", etc.

@Sustainable2050 New Zealand went through this recently. Huge secrecy about long coalition negotiations between right / far right parties and now the new government is already trying to tear apart the constitutional basis for our entire nation within a short time since formation.

I don't care about your growth hacks.

I don't care what time you wake up in the morning.

I give no fucks about how many followers you have today or how many you had 6 months ago.

I don't care about your master-class, your playbook or your chatGPT PDFs.

I couldn't possibly give less of a shit about whether or not you work weekends.

I want to talk to real humans. Who talk like real humans.

The Hustle bro crap is over. It has no place in 2024.

In a world where 97% plus of people don’t mask anymore despite rampant airborne respiratory illness - and we still do, the absolute most irritating “helpful” people on social media are the, “tHaT iSnT thE BeST rEsPirATor HeRE is InFODump” people who have zero context about where you are, what you can get away with without being literally assaulted or fired in terms of masks, or even if you are double masking, swapping out for clean masks, etc. it isn’t helpful. If we are masking, we damn well are aware of the risks and we are the LAST people you need to convince, including shaming us and trying to look clever.

@rogerparkinson @hacks4pancakes I rock an n95 with a baggy blue over the top of it and it just looks like I have the surgical mask on too.

Mostly because it looks more 'normal' to most people and I get harassed less as a result.

Russia's Medvedev warns of nuclear response if Ukraine hits missile launch sites (www.reuters.com)

MOSCOW, Jan 11 (Reuters) - A senior ally of President Vladimir Putin warned on Thursday that any Ukrainian attacks on missile launch sites inside Russia with arms supplied by the United States and its allies would risk a nuclear response from Moscow.

I get frustrated with politicians constantly talking about the 'middle class'.

Referencing it acknowledges and accepts the existence of a lower and upper.

I don't want a class system. I don't think anyone really does.

If you're a skin suit stuffed full of cash maybe you're fine with it but those don't really count as people, do they.

There's good and bad about suddenly having a very personal post (not from my firehose of boosts) go viral here.

The good thing is that YOU'RE ALL AWESOME!! 😊🥰💖 So much heartfelt support, so many kind words, so much useful advice. And not a Nazi anywhere!

The bad thing is that my notifications sound like a goddamn Pachinko machine and I feel obligated to respond. 😬

I'm going to try and write more posts like that. But I can't always reply to everyone or even reply the same day. My apologies. 🫂💜

@lisamelton I generally only slap a 'fav' on your posts instead of replying but know this NZ gardener is thinking of you while weeding and hoping for these challenges you're facing to be overcome. Kia kaha.
