ใ€Œ The parallels between founders and prophets are very obvious, as are the cultish aspects of Silicon Valley itself. It really does have the flavor of a millenarian religion, with all the fervor, reforming zeal and hagiomachy you could ask for. Not just snake-oil, but snake handlers too ใ€

@jbzfn Well said - everyone should read the linked article. There's some HR development theory on what it takes to create and sustain a successful business - it requires ALL types of the described work types, those that overvalue one type, fail - either in flames or decay. Unfortunately investors are enamoured with "the jackpot" ROI, and overvalue the prophets and become obsessed with cultish charisma. The "true" business prophets know when to step aside, to manifest the prophecy. However, ego.

For those wondering, โ€ฒโ€ฒhow did i do it?":
I boiled 10L of water, added 2 tablespoons of vinegar, 1 teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate, two cups of coke, and half cup of lemon juice, then stirred well. Waited 3 minutes, put the pan in the solution for 45 minutes, then added a quarter cup of chlorine bleach to the mixture. Then I brushed it with a firm toothbrush and put it back into the liquid for another 25 minutes. I took it out, rinsed it, and it looked exactly the same, so I threw it away, and went and bought a new one.

Edit: Please donโ€™t actually make this concoction! The resulting mixture may produce poisonous gases! This toot is a joke, the pictures are not even my pans. I didnโ€™t throw any pans away. Following these directions, despite the fact it probably wonโ€™t do anything useful, would be fucking stupid and you may win a Darwin Award.

My theory.... :donaldtrump: is upset that he wasn't invited to the Coronation. He went over there to "visit" his clubs but imo he was there hanging around to try to wrangle and invitation. He is just that tacky.
No US President have ever attended a Coronation. We did have a war to be Independent. And if we are losing support it's because of :donaldtrump: and his trash can MAGAt's. Just saying.......

@pivoinebleue lol. He is a desperate Royal wannabe who lies that the Royals want anything to do with a grubby sleazy loser from Queens. He also had to pay for two measly bagpipers to meet himself at the airport because nobody there gives a sh*t about Florida man, they think he's an uncouth boor.

Watched Trump's famous deposition where he misidentifies E Jean Carroll (whom he said was "not my type") on the left side of the photo as his then girlfriend "that's Marla" (Maples). He claims not to know who "that woman is" as he touches the right of the photo where another woman is. That woman on the right was his then current wife Ivana, on whom he cheated with Maples.

@futurebird Have you been clipping someone's kittie nails? This is on you. Expect 17 more tiny knives and an 18 sheath tiny bandolier to arrive, shortly.

Just to recap, Clarence Thomas let a GOP megadonor take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house and let her live there rent free, pay for his grandnephew to attend a private boarding school โ€” all in secret until now.

How is he still on the Supreme Court?

@rbreich Let's remember @ProPublica broke this story of abject bribery and corruption wide open. An actual free press is supposed to do just this: Tell us the truth, without fear or favor.
Support real journalism, our nation depends on it.

Musk threatens to reassign NPR Twitter account if it wonโ€™t start tweeting again

Musk threat to NPR contradicts Twitter's own inactive account policy.
