Attention-seeking when profoundly, dangerously distressed is a GOOD THING.

[Rachel 💚 ♿ 🌍 @ChasingGlimmers]

Everyone happy with the government passing a bill to give them access to look at your bank account? But not at the bank accounts of those handed millions of pounds of taxpayer's money? If it looks like fascism and smells like fascism it is fascism.

"It's time for Ant and Dec to stand up and be counted if we want a sustainable future for our children."

The levels of dehumanisation of women in their comments is off the charts… the woman must be ‘smoking’, she must be ‘educated’, all to produce a child they want. It is a privilege in life to be a parent, however a child is born should invoke the same care/attention regardless.

My step dad is a practicing Muslim. He never once had a problem with my sexuality. Not once. Often tells me that he loves me, got on well with my partners over the years.

I worked in Bethnal Green for 6 years.
An area with a large Bangladeshi community. Not once did I meet a Muslim person who had a problem with my sexuality.

Don’t look at my bio and assume that because I live in north wales that I haven’t lived in other places.

Don’t come on my tl and tell me that I shouldn’t stand by people that would ‘want me dead’. It’s simply not true.

The only people that I’ve found hate me because of my sexuality tend to be the same far right idiots, telling me that Muslims hate me.

In the newsletter tonight: An Ohio woman who miscarried has been charged with "abuse of a corpse" because she flushed the fetal remains.

Her lawyer says, "This 33-year-old girl, with no criminal record, is demonized for something that goes on every day."

Link in bio.

Enjoy your very beautiful, very well-deserved Christmas tree 🎄 ❤️🎅

[Sophia Alexandra Hall @sophiassocials]

One of my goals after leaving foster care was to one day have my own full size Christmas tree.

But every year they were too expensive.

This year, for the first time, I’ve been able to afford a 7.5ft Christmas tree. It may seem silly to some, but it means the world to me ❤️🎄

The most useful razors and rules I've found:

1. Bragging Razor - If someone brags about their success or happiness, assume it’s half what they claim

If someone downplays their success or happiness, assume it’s double what they claim

2. High Agency Razor - If unsure who to work with, pick the person that has the best chances of breaking you out of a 3rd world prison.

3. The Early-Late Razor - If it's a talking point on Reddit, you might be early. If it's a talking point on LinkedIn, you're definitely late.

4. Luck Razor - If stuck with 2 equal options, pick the one that feels like it will produce the most luck later down the line.

I used this razor to go for drinks with a stranger rather than watch Netflix. In hindsight, it was the highest ROI decision I've ever made.

5. Buffett's Law - "The value of every business is 100% subject to government interest rates" - Warren Buffett

6. The 6-Figure Razor - If someone brags about "6 figures" -- assume it's closer to $100K than $900K.

7. Parent Rule - Break down the investments your parents made in you: Time, Love, Energy, and Money.

If they are still alive, aim to hit a positive ROI (or at least break even.)

8. Instagram Razor - When you see a photo of an influencer looking attractive on Instagram -- assume there are 99 worse variations of that photo you haven't seen.

They just picked the best one.

9. Narcissism Razor - If worried about people's opinions, remember they are too busy worrying about other people's opinions of them. 99% of the time you're an extra in someone else's movie

10. Everyday Razor - If you go from doing a task weekly to daily, you achieve 7 years of output in 1 year. If you apply a 1% compound interest each time, you achieve 54 years of output in 1 year.

11. Bezos Razor - If unsure what action to pick, let your 90-year-old self on death bed choose it.

12. Creativity Razor - If struggling to think creatively about a subject, transform it:

• Turn a thought into a written idea.
• A written idea into a drawing.
• A drawing into an equation.
• An equation into a conversation.

In the process of transforming it, you begin to spot new creative connections.

13. The Roman Empire Rule - Historians now recognize the Roman Empire fell in 476 - but it wasn't acknowledged by Roman society until many generations later.

If you wait for the media to inform you, you'll either be wrong or too late.

14. Physics Razor - If it doesn't deny the law of physics, then assume it's possible. Do not confuse society's current lack of knowledge -- with this knowledge being impossible to attain.

E.g. The smartphone seems impossible to someone from the 1800s -- but it was possible, they just had a lack of knowledge.

15. Skinner's Law - If procrastinating, you have 2 ways to solve it:

• Make the pain of inaction > Pain of action
• Make the pleasure of action > Pleasure of inaction

16. Network Razor - If you have 2 quality people that would benefit from an intro to one another, always do it.

Networks don't divide as you share them, they multiply.

17. Gell-Mann Razor - Assume every media article contains a % of false information.

Sandbox the article from your worldview until you've:

• Seen primary sources
• Spoken to 3 domain experts

18. Taleb's Surgeon - If presented with two equal candidates for a role, pick the one with the least amount of charisma.

The uncharismatic one has got there despite their lack of charisma. The charismatic one has got there with the aid of their charisma.

#FarRight exploited horrible attack by a man on a woman & children in a working class community to stir a riot, drawing in youths & others. Workers attacked, women stranded, migrants in absolute terror. Destruction. Had to give lifts to 3 women when buses cancelled. #DublinRiots

[The Don of A Golden Age @Lazare76]

How sad is this.

Those feral scumbag rats.

Caio Benicio is the true representation of immigration.

⬇️ A timely reminder of why EPs are making the difficult decision to take industrial action:
to reverse the vicious circle destroying EP services and protect them for children, young people & communities in the future.
