😳 yikes. Six months after first becoming sick, almost half were unable to work full time and 22% weren't working at all. 88% had cognitive dysfunctions or memory loss, and most had multiple symptoms. https://t.co/HdWtL25elW

Covid-19 is not the fucking flu.
People who think that are simply wrong. Often catastrophically so, it turns out. I know it must be comforting to believe, like a lot of stupid-ass shit. But still wrong.
Republicans are no longer a political party. They’re a mob.
And this is only going to get worse. I’d expect a fascistic coup (one that succeeds) in 2024 or 2028. It won’t be more than a decade.
Next time, their plans will be better, they’ll have trained up, and it’ll succeed.
Achieving 11M IOPS & 66 GB/s IO on a Single ThreadRipper Workstation.
So it’s faster than an approximately 100,000 member Kubernetes cluster. One workstation.
I’m glad I gave up proving anything to anyone when I was about 13.
I took the spite-driven option. I just let them:

Many of the people yapping about how $GME shares are not tied to "fundamental value" paid $1,000 to see Hamilton the Musical
— Daniel Tenreiro (@TenreiroDaniel) January 29, 2021
Yes, I noticed that as well.
“Fundamental value” is not really a thing. It’s a convenient lie to keep the rubes in line. Once I realized this — when I was about 21 — is when I started making real money in the market.
It's the first year anniversary of this thread—responding to the first papers coming out of Wuhan. Talks about need for millions of tests (due to mild clinical symptoms), the threat to the elderly & high-risk, the danger of mutations and importance global equity. We were warned. https://t.co/yWlAvJsGLo

Yes we were warned. Anyone without fucking blinders knew by the end of January we were in for bad times.
And still I see, “Who could have KNOWNNNNNNN?”
We knew. We had time to prepare. We just didn’t. Well, Vietnam and a few other places did. But those were the exceptions.
We are a bunch of fucking clowns.

Yeah. In general makes you harder to harm, by anything. Nothing is certain, and death awaits us all. But how about not being a loser lump of fucking lard while you are here?
Trust me, it’s worth it.
watching cnbc and nodding vigorously while a hedge fund guy explains that they didn't leverage puerto rico's debt to privatize its public utilities and absolutely cripple its local government so that you could all treat the stock market like it's some kind of joke.

Yeah, only they have the right to impoverish children and ruin the economies of entire territories and nations.
The business model of Wall Street is fraud.
— Bernie Sanders (@SenSanders) January 28, 2021
Yes it is.
And the reason I make money is you don’t have to be smart when you can commit legal fraud, and the Wall Street people absolutely are not smart. Since I am a minnow, they don’t notice me nibbling. I get away with taking a few thousand here, a few thousand there.
What they do is pretty predictable, and all you need to know is a little psychology and to be smarter than 60% of them and their crappy algoritms. Which, frankly, is very easy.
If they actually were smart, I could not do what I do.
I think it's hard to convey the extent to which 'school culture' leaks into *everything*. I was homeschooled, and so when I got into the world 'school culture' was glaringly obvious.
Thread of examples:— Aella (@Aella_Girl) January 29, 2021
Good thread by Aella. Even when I was a kid, I thought the school environment felt absurdly artificial and inhuman. I was not wrong.
Body Camera Footage Shows Capitol Rioters Trampling Over Woman.
Yeah, that definitely looks like a bunch of tourists who just thought they were on a nice stroll through the Capitol.
Definitely not an insurrectionist attempted coup. Definitely not.
Watching every institution – from media calling them white supremacists to the SEC opening investigations – crack down on the peasant class for daring to take on the elite will do more to radicalize millions than any social media ban ever could. (Oh and they are doing that, too.)
— Cerno (@Cernovich) January 28, 2021
Agreed. I don’t think the plutes/Wall Street people realize how many folks they’ve radicalized against them in the last few days, on the left and the right, or just how very badly they’ve fucked up. It’s the only thing giving me hope right now.
Or to put it another way:
This is gonna make Occupy Wall Street look like the ineffectual mess it in fact was. Wish I’d gotten in on the action of burning down some hedge funds myself.
This is a really important point. The hedge funds are at so much risk of insolvency due to their greed, they are willing to take the risk that the punishment for brazen manipulation (and outright theft in @RobinhoodApp case) will be less than what they currently owe. https://t.co/wex8SHFqfg
