I have no desire to work now. I had five days off in a row where I dined at a feast and was entertained at a cinema. I have flown too high to return to a laptop.

Never has a crime so obscene been so confessed to, so endlessly, so shamelessly, so proudly

We're running out of soil to bury our dead.

I bring a sort of “why do we do it this way” vibe to the work place that most don’t like

“Show me where the Bible says the government should use my taxes to help the poor.”

This is said to me quite often whenever I post about how I believe every institution should prioritize the needs of the poor and most vulnerable among us.

So let me post a response here. (🧵)

1/ Sam Altman gave low-income people $1,000/month for three years, no strings attached.

Now, the results of one of the largest guaranteed-basic-income studies are in.

Let's get into it.

Let me help you out and give you my thoughts on DEI
1. Diversity
Good businesses look where others don't, to find the employees that will put your business in the best possible position to succeed.
You may not agree, but I take it as a given that there are people of various races, ethnicities, orientation, etc that are regularly excluded from hiring consideration. By extending our hiring search to include them, we can find people that are more qualified. The loss of DEI-Phobic companies is my gain.

1a. We live in a country with very diverse demographics. In this era where trust of businesses can be hard to come by, people tend to connect more easily to people who are like them. Having a workforce that is diverse and representative of your stakeholders is good for business.

Hundreds are still missing and feared dead after a boat carrying migrants sank in Greek waters last week.

Advocates say they’re frustrated the sunken migrant ship has garnered far less attention and resources than the Titan rescue efforts for 5 people. https://t.co/wrfwXR9kMv

My Dearest Gertrude,
It is with great sadness that I write to inform you that Cracker Barrel has fallen. This may be my last communication as the enemy advances unabated. Pride month is young still and we have not the fire power nor the rations to weather the drag queens assault.

there’s no funnier caricature of masculinity than the Him from “holiday gifts for him.” he doesn’t drink any liquid but whiskey. he’s got 20 watches on each wrist. if he saw a single texture other than leather he would throw one of his pocket knives at it.

Growing up, my Muslim family never celebrated Christmas. This year I am not going home, because pandemic, so my roommates are teaching me how to have my first proper Christmas.

I am approaching this with anthropological precision.

Here are a few observations.
