 Truth social has 5 million users but is somehow worth 6 billion dollars. Nothing funny going on here. Nice legal loophole for foreign dirty money to be passed through to the 78% stakeholder. 
 ICYMI - These people are beyond help. The self delusion is breathtaking like having the wind knocked out of you.

 Fiscally conservative means self interest. It always has. 
 We already had something that turned text prompts into art, it was called paying an artist.

 @25b5e014 The place was spectacular in its decay. I may have seen your photos on Facebook originally? There was an article about it several years ago now. Thank you for sharing this today. The photography is wonderful. 
 @25b5e014 My grandmother worked there 🙂 I knew you were going to get around to this place. I have sample china that was designed for one of Elizabeth Taylor's weddings. I also spent my childhood turning over every coffee cup and saucer in every restaurant / diner in which I ate. I have a lot of china.

 @46cd5609 All of these professionals are mid process in extracting themselves from inside the machine. Even the ones who think they are out simply because they no longer post on Twitter. They have a long way to go. I am grateful there are some who are making the effort. 
 @32351832 Lol, just thinking about the fox control room as this is broadcast live gives me special feelings. 
 I did not watch the debate, and it met every expectation. 
 I just can't get over two such historic moments happening on the same day and involving two Presidents. One tremendously positive (President on a picket line) and the other so inherently negative (Ex-President legally declared a Fraud) that I am dizzy from the pivot. 

Mark this date.

 OSHA should be regulating Corporate America on any compulsory return to the office. It is obvious now that it is a hazard to employees who contract covid and end up with a lifetime of chronic illness.

 Juxtaposition

Biden walks a picket line, in full support of the Unions in this country, making clear the position this administration takes for the working population.

A Judge in New York rules that Trump is a long term financial fraud and sets the clock on dissolving the Trump Organization.

 @420f26f4 I can relate to that culture. I understand that there was no one to turn to.  Take away the setting of the White House and substitute Corporate America and you have millions of people in the same male ruled and dominated executive circles. The fact that Mark Meadows didn't take her seriously or her phone calls immediately tells you what you need to know about her value. 
 Cassidy Hutchinson did the right thing in the face of an overwhelming situation where she was and still is in a vulnerable position. I will be reading her book. 

That being said, her circumstances are not far different, on a personal level, from those that sparked the Me Too movement. 

She is still a Republican who is literally fighting against the principles of the Democratic party. You would do well to remember this. It's not enough to be anti-Trump.

 As for the age argument, Biden is zero indictments old while Trump is 91 indictments old. 
 I love going down my timeline and reviewing the posts that I have boosted and seeing how well they do. I really enjoy people having success on here. Such good stuff and so much of it.  I give things a second look which I rarely did at the last place. While some corners do need building up content wise, nothing comes close to the fediverse for quality.

 Boost this. The public needs to "own" and protect this research. If everyone covets this it will make it more difficult for Big Pharma to disappear it.

 Nostalgia is powerful. Toss in humor and self deprecation and something happens that really made my day so much better. Thank you @bc9de454 and @1a0727aa.
