This photo was sent my way by someone who knows I work in #food security. I don’t know where it was taken or who deserves credit. (The tickets appear to name a pub).
But I’d sure love to see this kindness replicated. Widely. It’s critically needed & warms my heart. ❤️
What kind of high-school experience did you have? Were you in a clique? Were you popular, unpopular, the coolest kid in your Homeschool? Did you have a sweet jean jacket with patches, or maybe a leather vest? Were you an evil villain or a Mary Sue?
I was one of only a handful of brown kids in a super wealthy, white, liberal but somehow also not suburb outside of Portland. Ostensibly religious and pious even though I had ample opportunities to experiment. I didn’t. I wish I had. Was basically friends with everyone though nobody really knew me. Skipped all of the latter half of senior year and nobody knew I wasn’t there. Was a bit sad about it. Didn’t date. Didn’t really fit in. Par for the course
Okay, so TRUMP says he’s going to raise $50 million tonight. @msnbc and most of the media keeps repeating it. It’s astonishing, because the entire story is based on nothing but hot air coming from the Trump campaign.
@shoq@msnbc they are “damned” if they do by reporting on him at all. All he does is make outlandish claims. Then they report on it. Even if they say look he’s insane and here’s what he said and why it’s insane it’s press and his supporters will just call it “fake news” and the conversation will continue and he wins. He’s also the leading challenger to POTUS. Whatever he does is news. Unfortunately so.
Just a reminder that nothing lasts forever, and no company—not matter how powerful and profitable—stays that way forever.
If you looked at the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) list of companies that were there 100 years ago, almost none of them are on there now.
For a a long time, the one exception was General Electric (GE) but this is no longer the case. After more than 100 years, GE lost its space on the DJIA.
In fact, the original GE no longer exists. General Electric has just split itself intro three separate companies—becoming a shadow of its former self.
GE Aerospace still trades under GE, but GE’s health and energy divisions are now separate entities entirely.
It’s the end of an era. I’m sure Thomas Edison and Jack Welch are spinning in their graves.
@atomicpoet@potus if Biden wins then yay but if that handle is a Trump handle nope nope nope. I’ll buy or run my own node and defederate everything and anyone connected to his lying Putin loving ass
@shoq it’s insane that the western world papers over all the despotic and shit things MBS did and is doing and his predecessors have done — the 9/11 attackers were Saudis iirc — and not to mention the killing of Kashoggi who was a US citizen and a journalist — oh but he’s making reforms and VCs and tech bros can get cheap capital … get fucked with that noise. They might be an ally but that government is playing the US and everyone else for fools
Mike Johnson says if #Trump wins and Republicans expand their House majority and take the Senate, he has already spoken with Trump about making “big radical changes,”“aggressive changes” to the govt in first 100 days.
@GottaLaff we need to convince our friends and associates and strangers to vote Biden. His campaign can’t do it all and Trump winning would be terrible. Every time I think about Trump presidency it gives me existential dread.
Looks like he's pursuing the exact strategy I talked about yesterday on @poweruserpod!! Take a listen where we break down the Huberman backlash and how he will likely play things: https://open.spotify.com/episode/219EKphXddO6PLFyTDiIGz
@taylorlorenz I don’t understand the story? Influencer doesn’t live up to his image and cheats on his gf with 5 other women and is full of STDs. What am I missing? Aren’t most if not all influencers full of shit?
@GottaLaff good. Everyone in Trump’s orbit gets burned. It’s as if he’s the ring from LOTR: he just corrupts you and uses you and should be thrown into a volcano.
