“Soussan landed the job of his dreams, working for the United Nations on the biggest aid programme it had ever attempted. However, anyone familiar with the tales of Soussan's fellow countryman Hans Christian Andersen will expect dark truths to emerge from the most apparently innocent exteriors. Even to the cynics […] this book will come as a revelation.”

It was made into a film starring @SirBenKingsley and @TheoJamesThink

Ownership in high-value assets has historically come with extremely high barriers to entry.
Tokenization gives us an opportunity to rethink those barriers. We've already seen fractionalized real estate platforms opening property investment to retail participants, and tokenized art shares giving broader access to works once locked in private collections.
With Socios Equity Token, we’re exploring what that could mean for sports equity.

Sometimes a simple video can help raise millions of dollars in aide - I emember this past work - “Doctors of the World Emergency Phillipines Appeal” on #Vimeo https://t.co/vq3A4GnDgR
People, straight or gay, have a right to be imbeciles ( though it hurts us in tolerant societies to have useful idiots confused like this). The biggest imbeciles here are the German government and courts : The AP reported that the terrorist -who destroyed many people’s lives, Abdul B. traveled to Lebanon in 2025 intending to reach Syria and join the Islamic State group. He was arrested there and served three months in prison for offenses including inciting religious and sectarian conflict. 2025!!!! Last year!!!
@HeidiBachram Hyenas. Groups that seek acceptance prove instead to be intolerant on only one count. The faith of one on of thier most active members. Harrowing
The engineer who built Claude Code just taught a free masterclass. 30 minutes.
Zero fluff. Straight from Boris Cherny.
Save this now - you'll thank yourself later. Most daily Claude users are blind to 40+ features sitting right there.
One session. More value than any $1,000 course.
Actually - this is a lecture people would pay to hear. Bottom line: AI isn't "thinking" - it's tokenizing the probability that you will like it. Like a Good dog... @CSurdak - Hey Chris am just getting us started on X
Instead of watching an hour of Netflix, watch this 2 hour hour Stanford lecture will teach you more about how LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude are built than most people working at top AI companies learn in their entire careers.

Only problem is... he's promising a lie. EVERYONE in New York wants lower costs of LIVING. But there is a reason they are high and it is NOT the Mayor's office that can significantly bring them down. Or fire my Econ Professor from Brown. But let's see him do it. Does he even understand NYC is run by the MON? Mamdani wouldn't even get a SIT-DOWN with TONY SOPRANO. (RIP Gandolfini)
I think Wall Street will RUN HIM more than he will ever run Wall Street. If this little rich and protected kids get exposed to City Hall... it should be a reality show.
New York doesn't need a mayor who doesn't understand the limits and reach of his power any more than it needs NO MAYOR.
NY Will GO ON
@Neccccy So, on the question of angles, I'm not an architect or anything, but there is something STRUCTURALLY wrong with her face it seems to me. Or someone bring in an engineer to make sure I'm not seeing BEELZEBUT!
They look a tad bit afraid, don't they. (Sunglasses and veil and all.) Tell you the UPSIDE of all this. MEN in the Jihadi world are FINALLY forced to wear AS MUCH HEAD COVER AS WOMEN.
Yea for #WomenEmpowerment - or, well, asshole DIS-empowerment. Show your faces and we will listen
