It's not 'Economic Anxiety' it's 'Bad People'

They elected a Rapist, knowing he's a Rapist because they like that sort of thing. If you think you can be friends with people like that, then I pity you and the life you've chosen to lead.

Lai kā tur arī nebūtu ar Trampu, nākamie mēneši Ukrainai nebūs viegli. Kamēr Eiropā vēl lems par to, ko tagad darīt, mēs varam darīt jau šodien un turpināt atbalstīt ukraiņus ar saviem ziedojumiem. Ukrainas zaudējums mums pavisam noteikti nenestu neko labu. Tāpēc darām, ko varam!

Šo grāmatu iesāku un tad uz ilgu laiku noliku malā. Tagad no rītiem pa gabaliņiem "graužos" cauri. Teksts diezgan sarežģīts, akadēmisks, vairāk kā studentu mācību grāmata. Ko esmu sapratusi - radniecība ir ļoti komplicēta sistēma, kam ir liela ekonomiskā un politiskā nozīme.

Note to USA folks, ❗trans folks especially❗.

A passport is:
- Fundamentally useful
- A federal ID
- Recognized in most state/local level contexts
- *You can change your gender marker on it through pure self ID, with nothing medical required*. "X" is an option. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/need-passport/selecting-your-gender-marker.html
- Normally 4-6 weeks to process (faster if u pay extra); that means if you apply for one this week, you easily get it before Jan 20.
- Lasts 10 years

Perhaps apply for one (or renew it, to reset yr 10 years) soon.

As they say, "All friends are together…"

🇨🇳 China reacted to the election results in USA: The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said that
Beijing hopes for further peaceful and mutually beneficial coexistence.

🇭🇺 Orban: "On the way to a wonderful victory!"

Hello temporal confusion - I have just missed one of my favorite collab meetings because the USA are still on daylight savings time and I forgot to adapt the time in my calendar. And this though I reminded people who were supposed to attend another meeting earlier today of exactly this just yesterday myself ... 🙄

(Thread 3/3) The rep looked pissed off. It was obvious he didn't understand why anyone wouldn't want to make more money and he'd just publicly and definitively been rejected in such a polite way he couldn't protest.

A young woman entered as the rep left. She was soft spoken and blushed as she spoke but the owner immediately greeted her by name and asked which type of chiffon cake she would like.

She opted for the purple yam one and after the owner had plated it, his wife hummed to herself as she piped cream on with a happy grin. Moments later, Dutch tourists walked in and the owner shared a 10 minute chat with them about V60 coffee making.

Later, some high school students dropped by, wanting a type of sushi that had run out. The owners offered to make some fresh for them. And the whole time the vibe was that their customers were in their house and they were enjoying being hosts.

And that's it. Two people who know what makes them happy, with their business based in a town that appreciates them. They both love what they do (I have learned SO many glorious coffee facts) and their food is freakin' amazing... And they told a giant corporation to politely never come back.

Any typos spotted in this monster thread have been caused by the consumption of the best katsu chicken I have ever tasted, made by someone who hummed softly to herself as she made it. If spotted, please inform typos that they can get their V60 coffee at the counter with the cake of their choice. (3/3)

I sincerely cannot understand why otherwise normal and thoughtful people/organizations continue to patronize X/Twitter. I literally quit my job as an exec at Twitter when it became clear Musk would take over the company, and the level of ineptitude and noxiousness today has dramatically exceeded what I thought would have been possible at the time.

Hey, folks be careful what photos you are sharing because I noticed a couple of computer generated today, and just recently that is being used to manipulate your feelings and opinions...even about wars.

Make sure when you see one that causes your emotions to soar, you check the original source, don't just assume it is real .

Here's a guide to help you learn to screen photos...also an interactive article to help you practise spotting Deep Fakes.

Fun fact: I was talking with some very non-tech people today and multiple people said they switched to Firefox because of Google Chrome ruining adblock and because of them shoving AI crap into it. But, they dislike or are ambivalent about all of Firefox other than it having functional adblock and no AI crap (as do I, Firefox sucks a lot), but then half of them said they switched back to Chrome because Mozilla started releasing AI crap and didn't see why they should bother.

So all the people who say “oh Normal People either don't care about AI or actively like it and Mozilla is just trying to expand their userbase” are just lying. Once you get out of the perpetually online sphere you do see a lot fewer people vehemently against AI, but I also have never once met anyone who actually really liked it (at best people tentatively use it for a few things). And Mozilla is actively making the browser as bad as possible and pushing people who don't care about what browser they use beyond a few features away

Our first episode is dropping tomorrow! We're so excited to jam some games of #MagicTheGathering with @googlyeyesonmagiccards @east_coast_zach and friends!
