People who say $GME is overvalued don't understand the value proposition. It's no longer a stock, it's a store of value. It's the new digital gold. And for now it has only 3% of the $BTC market cap, still plenty of room to grow. My price target is over $9,000

Because of our tax laws, I will keep about 22% of my income this year while our "successful businessman" president has been paying between $0 and $750 per year. I know I'm very privileged and I want to pay my fair share of taxes, but this is upsetting.

@justinogarrity Get out now while you can

@MikeScottSupt now that some students have tested positive in the district, Hillsboro should strongly consider proactive closures. There is good research showing that this could save lives and protect the community verses reactive closures. https://t.co/DGr5vKEDTV

This seems like a great thing

We’ve made the decision to stop all political advertising on Twitter globally. We believe political message reach should be earned, not bought. Why? A few reasons…🧵

[Stephen Colbert @StephenAtHome]

Well then, let’s help with that marketing! Retweet this, y’all!

Take risks, do new things, learn a lot, heal from wounds, help others, love fiercely - if you do that, in my 42 years experience, days go by adventurously fast and years feel like an eternity. In a good way.

@Sarcasticluther @ericnuzum I grew up Mormon. The process of seriously doubting and eventually leaving took about 10 years. My wife, kids and I now attend Unitarian Universalist church from time to time.

When it comes to explaining the world, I find Jeremy Rifkin’s thesis compelling: that every era’s new form of energy extraction has enabled new forms of communication, and it’s a race to see what happens 1st, either tech fosters global empathy or its energy economy wipes us out.

[Randy Bryce @IronStache]

Hell yeah I’d do it again.
I looked out into the crowds and saw hope.
We made each other better. And that really is all that it’s about.

@marshallk Instead of left verses right, could it be that populist anger and fear about failures of objectivity are being leveraged by corrupt leaders of all parties that represent a narrow group of special interests? Libertarians have some valid yet ever unresolved critiques of government.

[Dan Blaisdell @danblaisdell]

@marshallk It seems that a number of good criticisms of major institutions were flipped on their heads and repurposed for the right, including "fake news", black lives matter, and regulatory conflict of interest. Is that your point?

[Stephen Colbert @StephenAtHome]

Fighting Tucker Carlson’s ideas is an American right. Targeting his home and terrorizing his family is an act of monstrous cowardice. Obviously don’t do this, but also, take no pleasure in it happening. Feeding monsters just makes more monsters.

A society is as advanced as its treatment of its weak, its handicapped and incapacitated.

@SamHarrisOrg makes a very compelling argument that free will doesn't exist. Maybe it's the software engineer in me, but I don't see a way around determinism.

Observe your thought without judgement. Judgement in fact, is just another thought.

@skylark64 It made me cry too

A hearty fuck you to everyone still supporting Trump, and wishes of a swift demise to the power structures invested in installing Kavanaugh in SCOTUS.
