I’ve dreamed of this day on multiple days and nights.
There were moments it felt impossible, but I kept dreaming and kept building.
Step by step.
Stone by stone.
Through sweat, toil, and pain.
Today is one of the happiest days of my life.
My God has been exceedingly good to me.
Bir Alman arkadaşım normal iş te çalışıyor ama Ottensen, Hamburg ta oturuyor. Sahile yürüme mesafesinde. Haftada 3 gün çalışıyor her akşam sahile inip kitap okur, keyip yapar akşam eve çıkar. Bu hafta sonu Berlin'de gidip Bruno Mars konserine gidecek, haftaya da Amsterdam'a gidiyor yine Bruno Mars konserine.
Kira derdi yok, borcu da yok zaten.
2 ay sonra işi bırakıp South Afrika'ya gönüllü olarak Atlar bakmaya gidecek. Orada 3 ay kalacak.
Kadın 50 yaşında.
Bu kadar.
@meenverkarahan Çok doğru.
Bir ara kendi ihracat firmam var Covid'ten dolayı battım. Borcum kapatayım diye arsalarim falan sattım yine gel de gör nasıl tekmeler. O günden anladım ticaret yaparken kimseye iyilik, acimayacaksin arkadaş. Düştüğün zaman ilk kendini kurtar.
A lot of people don’t fully understand what happened when Elon bought Twitter in 2022.
Twitter had 250 million daily users in 2022 and only 400k accounts had blue checks. These people’s - mostly progressive influencers and media professionals — replies were always at the top. Their tweets were first in every trending topic. They were the only accounts with algorithmic amplification. They determined what topics trended and shaped the discourse. They would tweet something and then get to read about their tweets in the New York Times the next day. Their tweets could end somebody’s career or send multinational corporations into damage control mode.
And then Elon took it all away from them.
They had no idea how fragile their platforms were or how fleeting their hold on power could be. When they quit Twitter and went over to Bsky, they thought it was portable and would reassemble over there. But now, they’re broadcasting to no one. They will never get back what they lost.
They are unspeakably bitter.
@imelizabethlane For me it was the whispers that totally turned me off the first time she spoke. It was physically unbearable that I had to turn it off.
@ripplebrain Actually I respect this because I don't think dummies actually buy these books only smart people buys these I guess. infact I do this to understand a topic faster.
