An interesting chat about tools for harnessing social media changing the landscape of everything from warfare to disaster response.

Pastor Joel Osteen pays himself an annual salary of $54,000,000 from his church profits. He had a custom garage built with 20 car stalls for each of his custom vehicles. His favorite is a Ferrari 458 Italia that cost $270,000. He lives in a 70,000 sq ft mansion.
In the New Testament, four different times Jesus tells his followers to always pay their taxes. Why is it in the United States that churches don’t have to pay taxes? The IRS figures if all churches paid their fair share of 15% taxes that it would total over $2 trillion a year.
More than enough to solve the homelessness in this country, since it looks like these Pastors would rather spend your donations on New Cars instead of feeding the hungry.

No questions asked. You would’ve known this — had they taught it to you in school.

Here is Michelle Yeoh’s uncensored, emotional SAG speech

[Karl Delos Santos @karl_delo]

If it wasn’t certain before, James Hong locked in Everything Everywhere All At Once’s Best Picture win at the Oscars with this part of his speech

[Spencer Althouse @SpencerAlthouse]

Michelle Yeoh and the EEAAO cast honoring the great James Hong during their SAG speech has me EMOTIONAL: "He just turned 94 years young, and it's been 69 years in the making to get him to the stage. Our patriarch, our friend, our gung-gung: James Hong!"

Meet the Yang Family.
Gave away food to 400 people in Glace Bay,
Cooking with flashlights at their restaurant Jay’s Chicken & Pizza.
And their adorable daughter Katie, seemed to be the boss it all.

1/ Caution: There is this emerging narrative that Fox News has somehow turned on Donald Trump. The media is seriously misreading this and also blowing a few things wildly out of proportion. Let me explain...

[xenancy @xenancy1]

@TaylorLyonsMSJ That was powerful. We need more voices like yours in Tennessee!

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

🔥WATCH: “Your silence is deafening… what you permit, you promote.”

@TaylorLyonsMSJ rips @hamcoschools for letting Moms for Liberty hold (obviously partisan) forums in schools, despite bullying educators and wanting to "get kids out of public schools

[xenancy @xenancy1]

@TheTNHoller My God, I thought this was satire at first.

[Nick Knudsen 🇺🇸 @NickKnudsenUS]

If this doesn’t scare you, I don’t know what will. Christofascist indoctrination ceremony:

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

👇🏽😳It’s KKK DAY in Tennessee again… @GovBillLee is not re-signing the proclamation, but he refused to do the right thing and delete it entirely.

[Ken Harbaugh @Team_Harbaugh]

I have known @EricGreitens for 30 years. He is a broken man, who will do anything, including inciting violence, to regain power. He’s not the same person whose weddings I went to. Eric, drop out. Try to repair the damage you have done, to your family, your country, and yourself.

[Justin Kanew @Kanew]

They’re going to focus on the driver attack story and try to poke holes in it. Don’t take the bait. That story is secondary to the other details she gave — the coup he plotted, the violence he knew was coming, and the damage he’s still doing.

[Johnny Stanton IV @johnnystantoniv]

I just found out the person killed in the Laguna Woods shooting yesterday was my primary care physician, Dr. John Cheng. Absolute hero. He attacked the gunman and helped save so many in that church. I just wanted his name to be known. He will be missed.

[Evelyn Yang @EvelynYang]

@CeFaanKim @AndrewYang @janccrc @ChrisMarteNYC @NUBCanal @NYCMayor Total BS statement from the city. There are options on the table that meet the same goals without imposing massive health hazards on Chinatown. AND without a $9 billion price tag, while @nycmayor forces cuts everywhere else from services to schools. It’s either corrupt or lunacy.

[Evelyn Yang @EvelynYang]

Arrested today protesting the $2B megajail. Spent time in my cell thinking about how we can’t expect others to stand up for us if we don’t first stand up for ourselves. This jail is “institutionalized hate” against Chinatown in @NYCMayor’s own words. Keep your promise #NoNewJails

[Scott Santens @scottsantens]

One of Biden's responses to inflation needs to be discouraging employers from demanding their workers commute to the office when they can work from home and have been working at home just fine. Reduce the demand for gasoline. Also go to a 4-day week right now while we're at it.
