When I was younger I was crippled with self-doubt… Great to chat to the BBC about my experiences with imposter syndrome and how dyslexia has shaped my life (for the better). It’s important to keep challenging the status quo that holds neurodivergent people back. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Even after being threatened by Trump and racially harassed by the MAGA movement, Mexico has sent humanitarian aid and firefighters who are risking their lives to save U.S. civilians and homes during the LA fires. "We are a country of generosity and solidarity," Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum.

We should all be united in the effort of exposing these Republican outrage peddlers for the treasonous frauds they are. These are not just social media posters with a “differing opinion.” These are paid propagandists with a FINANCIAL INCENTIVE to create disinformation. Call them out and SHAME THEM!

How many of you have earthquake insurance in CA? What annual rate do you pay? Always interesting to see us thinking about it after an earthquake happens. I personally don't have it but it does cross my mind. For those renting, does renter's insurance cover personal item damage or it's separate?

Jesus Christ! Vindman is a hero who helped protect America from an attempt by Trump and Kremlin agents in Ukraine to steal the 2020 election. I know because I wrote a national bestseller on this This is the co-President of the United States threatening to kill him. Things are going to get so bad!

If you still have a Twitter or threads account, start encouraging more people to join Blue Sky, especially if you are European. Twitter (X) is being used to manipulate elections globally and suppress information. Post at least once a day, encouraging others to join. #bluesky

Ukraine hit an underground military command post in Marino, Kursk, ~40km from the border, with UK Storm Shadow missiles, targeted Russian command officials and possibly North Korean generals. (Defense Express).

They didn’t sound the alarm before the election because tariffs give them cover to price gouge on top of the price increases.

Hold the fuck on. Trump voters with preexisting conditions are out there crying now because they JUST realized Obamacare *is* the Affordable Care Act?!? The Affordable Care Act they just voted to repeal cuz they were good thanks to… OBAMACARE?!? Are you fucking kidding me??? I can’t with this.

Appreciate this may not be a universally popular opinion but the less you treat BlueSky as a crusade or cause, and the more you position it as simply a superior user experience with a better governance approach, the more sustainable the growth will be.

The evidence at trial also showed beyond a reasonable doubt that the porn star was fifty times smarter and more decent than the defendant.

Karen Friedman Agnifilo@kfa-legal.bsky.social

@manhattanda.bsky.social prosecutors had to convince 12 strangers BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT Trump lied to hide payments to a porn star to win the election. They convicted him. Don’t ever forget that.

For my new friends on here, here are some ideas to consider before year end: 1. Tax loss harvesting in your individual, joint, trust accounts (aka non-qualified). You may not find too many on equity side but you can find some on bonds. 2. If you are self-employed sole proprietor with decent income

ask your CPA about LLC taxed as S Corp to save on taxes 3. 4,900 mutual fund are expected to pay capital gains distribution, consider swapping out to a tax efficient ETFs 4. Finally, don't give up on long term investing just because of administration change. Don't let them do damage to your long

“SpaceX’s new Starship rocket far exceeds projected maximum noise levels, generating a sonic boom so powerful it risks property damage in the densely populated residential community near its South Texas launch site, new data suggests.”

Eric Lipton NYT@ericlipton.nytimes.com

THREAD: So let's take a deeper look at Elon Musk's Starship and the noise impact it is having on the South Texas area where it is launching. It is the largest, most powerful rocket ever built. As tall at 30 story building. Here first is our story. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/18/u...

I open my Bluesky feed and it is full of really cool people saying really smart things and being really passionate about really interesting stuff. I like this version of social media, and the world. Thanks, folks.

The whole Democratic Party, and many of the 75 million who, like me, voted for Kamala Harris, need to read a book on "misplaced anger." The amount of misplaced anger I am seeing on social media—people blaming the election on everything but the people actually responsible for its outcome—is stunning.
