The two most offensive things about this piece are the use of Puertopia like that's a thing, without explanation of how offensive this is to Puerto Ricans. And the typo of Brock Pierce as Brock Piece. Who is the guy that is murdering my island with crypto. Other than that, solid article.

The major sway borough presidents have are local appointments to community boards. If you look at their track records there, you'll more or less know who they are aligned with.

Me and my niggas this summer.

Starting a new project, do I buy a SaaS product to manage it? Noooooooo. To save a lot of money I run wekan.github.io in a docker container and build it out until I need to stick it on a cloud server or expose to the internet some other way. Duh.

NEW: The Republican tax and spending bill that passed the U.S. House of Representatives Thursday would punch a hole as big as $20 billion in the state budget enacted just weeks ago.

I hate it here.

Obviously @eliothiggins.bsky.social has done great investigative work. But to leave out that this CM brandished a firearm at a peaceful protest should be the #1 thing everyone mentions about this lunatic regardless of the topic. This single act spells her out perfectly. P.S. NYPD did nothing.

I don't hate white people per say. I'm married to one. I hate racist white people. They hold the power to be racists and they are always the stupidest people you could ever meet. Anyway, my neighbor is a white racist and I hate them. Also, I'm not white. (The racist was informed of this)

Writing business letters in Dutch is super weird for me. I never thought I would be in this position. But life be that way sometimes I guess.

In 2017 I exposed a Crypto Scammer who was pretending to be someone else. His real identity was one of Canada's biggest financial scammers. Canada barely held him to account. America never even got a hold of him, he is still at large. Here's a link to a podcast about my journey: a.co/d/8zFrcUE

This is me with my US friends and family. I was SCREAMING that things were really bad in the US and was discouraged from moving to the Netherlands because it would never be that bad. Now my family and friends and screaming at ME about how bad it is. All I tell them is, it's about to get worse.

happy for Khalil of course but i must say, "lawful permanent resident not charged with any crimes, imprisoned by president's stormtroopers for having forbidden opinions about US-abetted genocide, briefly allowed to touch his child" is a hell of a thing to find oneself feeling joy and relief about

Particularly angry today at the big obvious crypto grift being run by the US government. I watched as the SEC fumble case after case. Media and Government protecting the bags of the worst people. Now those bad people are going to be in charge. As a whistle blower it reminds me that the scammer...

We could have had AOC as a wedge against authoritarianism but this guy has been in the dem party for a long time and was friends with Nancy Pelosi, so, 🤷‍♂️ Because meritocracy is a dem party thing. They don't anoint leaders based on connections. Right?

Roundabouts > intersections But Americans get what they can get right now. Which isn't much.

And also, this is the ramblings of a bad business person. You could have exalted teachers. You could be working with them to make things better but instead you want to replace teachers with daycare workers. Could have real growth, but no, A.I., Apps, fuck them kids.

This "Councilwoman" brought a hand gun to a protest and the NYPD were like, IT'S FINE EVERYONE, SHE'S A POLITICIAN. Like, that actually happened and we're supposed to be outraged by a student's outfit. To summarize: Open carry at a protest, fine. Being a student with purple hair, bad.

I like(d) Duolingo but this new interview with the CEO is alarming. Teachers are an infinitely important resource and if this guy thinks teachers are only good for childcare then he is the sort of spoiled rich kid that makes startups awful tools of exploitation. Not sure I will renew now.

The US might actually get a financial reset because this will destroy the economy in so many ways that they'll just have to start over.

I hope you're happy @cascoinfoundation.org you and your Soros backed Crypto podcast finally got the US government to bend to your wishes.

Adam Levitin on the GENIUS Act: “Congress is about to put the claims of stablecoin investors ahead of ma and pa's bank deposits ... [T]he FDIC's Deposit Insurance Fund is footing the bill. In other words, the GENIUS Act is subsidizing stablecoin issuance on the back of bank deposits.”

Word. Up.

really bleak to pop on to the former twitter and see people i thought were reasonable palling around with race science maniacs

Fuck this guy. This is nasty work, and of course it’s a white dude. Wonder how much he’s getting paid by Google to hasten his colleagues’ obsolescence and eventually funnel more public funds to tech companies. “Elevate his teaching and create community” probably bc his teaching SUCKS

Went for a bike ride. Saw some illegal 53’, saw plenty of cars on sidewalks. Just a total reminder that no one in charge of enforcement even tries to find these issues.

If you say "I don't like bonds" the bond guys are like "I think you're wrong but fair enough" and if you don't like equities, the equities gals are like "lol whatever". If you express any doubt at all about crypto you get "why don't you EDUCATE yourself you DANGEROUS IDIOT etc etc etc" Like, chill

babe wake up, new Y2K just dropped.

That's my fellow Puerto Rican from the Bronx right there.
