Fauxnance thrives on hype, FOMO, & cognitive traps to bypass critical thinking. Understanding sunk cost fallacy, authority bias, bandwagon effect, etc. can help temper vulnerabilities and protect vs deceptive financial schemes. Stay sharp. #fauxnance#greaterfool#thinkcritically
fauxnance - a deceptive financial arrangement, used by one party or collective to manipulate others for profit
Non-exhaustively: "cuz paying back $20 on Friday", ponzi schemes, rug-pulls, fraud, predatory financing, scams, cryp..? *record scratch*

Saw a tractor used as a streetside address pole... #Rednextra AF.
Ps. "Redneck" traces back to 19th-century farmers but gained deeper meaning in the 1920s when miners donned red bandanas as a symbol of working-class solidarity during labour uprisings. #Solidarity#History
@TheAgentNDN Any particular recommendations? Personally, I'm re-reading Not a Nation of Immigrants, by Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz; First time reading Federal Anti-Indian Law, by Peter d'Errico; and Standoff by Bruce McIvor.
@davidasinclair Tanisi, big fan. Putting this study on your radar.
Maric, T., et al. (2022) A bioluminescent-based probe for in vivo non-invasive monitoring of nicotinamide riboside uptake reveals a link between metastasis and NAD+ metabolism. Biosensors and Bioelectronics.

Signs onto twitter. Despite dumpster fires of staffing and content boundary pushing I can see that yup, Indigenous twitter is still rocking it as we do.
Stay something else, beautiful creatures. ❤️
Exercise can affect your unborn children's genes by altering the chemistry of DNA in sperm and egg cells.
Aerobic exercise for 3 months altered sperm DNA by silencing genes linked to the risk of autism, OCD, Alzheimer’s, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and atherosclerosis.
@TheAgentNDN I once took way too long to answer a "Does this make me look..." question.
Still smarting from that one.
Though literally, I once dug a 4 feet deep channel to lay some piping.
Having answered, I now kinda want to beat my best. Anyone else?
The most important thing the Survivors wanted was to ensure their grandchildren grew up safe, happy and proud. That is why the top TRC Calls to Action all focus on children and they need our help. Read the Calls to Action here: https://t.co/SGXLB6IaXa 1/2

It is my hope that this apology provides additional support to the healing journeys of Indigenous Peoples. It is also my hope that it is backed by substantial actions to reduce, remove and eRadicate the potential for future trauma such as that well illustrated below by @cblackst
We're not doing #CanadaDay
We're:
- Reclaiming language they tried to rip away at #assimilation camps
- Eating the foods stolen and withheld to starve us into assimilating
- Practicing our culture once made illegal
Today we celebrate #Indigeneity
Our resilience and brilliance.
