@mahmud2008 @_ZachFoster @grok Israel is mentioned 41 times in the Quran, Palestine 0 times but OK pal
English
@danmurrays @_ZachFoster @grok Any state or area, called Israel, is not mentioned in The Quran at all.
English
Jerry Seinfeld said Palestine doesn’t exist.
This was actually the subject of my PhD dissertation.
Turns out that Arab, Muslims & Christians have been calling Palestine Palestine continuously for more than a millennium.

@mehdirhasan @mcuban So you must think that the trump accounts idea is actually brilliant no?
English
Yes @mcuban you’re right that 60% of US adults own stock directly or indirectly but what you omit to mention is that the richest 1% of Americans own nearly 50% of the stock market while the bottom half of Americans own just 1%.
Mark Cuban@mcuban
The reason anyone gets insanely rich is almost always because of the stock market. It certainly how @elonmusk did. And the reason they get rich from the stock market, is because 150m Americans decided they wanted to own shares of stocks directly, or through their retirement plans, or through other approaches as a way of building their net worth and trying to create a better life for themselves. One Hundred Fifty Million Americans. About 60% of adults. Effectively believing that @elonmusk and many billionaires could make them wealthier and help them achieve a better life. If you want @elonmusk , and most billionaires to no longer be that rich, convince those 150m to sell their stocks, funds, ETFs whatever. Of course you would wipe out the net-worth of most of those people, and everyone else’s savings, as the markets crashed and brought down the economy and created the worst depression we have ever seen. Alternatively There are ways to improve healthcare access and eventually make it available to all. To start - If you want @elonmusk and all billionaires to improve healthcare for everyone , ask them to stop doing business with the enormous healthcare conglomerates and to work directly with transparently priced care providers. It’s the behemoth HC conglomerates that make HC so bad for so many. (Check my timeline for more detail) Removing them would push the cost of healthcare down for everyone. Their corporate decisions impact our healthcare cost and availability. Of course if they do that, not only would our HC costs go down , and the quality of care for their employees and the entire country go up But They would see their corporate cash flow increase dramatically and we would have more millionaires, billionaires and maybe even another trillionaire when that cash flow moved from the big health care conglomerates to their bottom line, so would the net worth of the 150 million American adults that own public stocks Capitalism is better than socialism because 150m Americans can influence exactly what happens in this country.

After 5 years at Lightspeed, I'm leaving to start something new!
Lightspeed first backed me as a founder & I eventually joined to build out Europe.
I'm so proud of the team we've built & the founders we've backed.. never stronger or more committed to the region.
More soon! 👀

Spending more time on your phone when things feel hard just injects more scarcity into your brain.
More comparison. More noise. More evidence that everyone else is further along.
Close it. Go outside. Talk to someone you actually like.
Come back to the problem tomorrow with a nervous system that isn't fried.
English
The people who seem the most at peace aren't the ones with the fewest problems.
They just decided to stop making their happiness conditional on the problems resolving first.
That decision doesn't require anything to change externally.
It's available right now, in exactly the circumstances you're currently in.

@MsDayglo @ZackPolanski It's populism. You telling me there isn't any other middle Eastern pro islamist influence in the uk? No Saudi, Egyptian, UAE money or influence? Or Russian
Just our ally apparently. 🤷♂️

It would improve this country immensely if we weren't subject to foreign influence.
This petition is being debated in Parliament on 22 June.
Petition: Call a public inquiry into pro-Israel influence on politics & democracy
We are concerned about reported Israeli state-linked and pro-Israel lobbying activity in UK politics. We believe it is important to determine the scope and impact of any such influence campaigns.

Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel.
Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it.
A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.
English
Some days the most productive thing you can do is completely stop trying to be productive.
Let the brain breathe. Let the ideas sit.
Come back tomorrow and watch how much clearer everything looks after you stopped forcing it.
The insight you've been chasing never arrives when you're gripping this tight.
English
You will never feel behind if you stop running someone else's race.
The timeline you're stressed about was never yours to begin with.
Someone else set the pace and you just started measuring yourself against it without questioning where it came from.
Put it down. Run your own thing at your own speed.
The finish line moves anyway.
English
The solution for a tough few weeks is always just to have a good day.
Not a productive one. Not a meaningful one. Just a good one.
Catch up with a friend. Grab dinner. Do something that feels like pure leisure.
Come home and notice that nothing bad happened while you were unplugged.
Wake up the next morning and everything that felt urgent the night before looks completely different.
English
Simply being alive is the evidence that things work out.
Not perfectly. Not always in the way you planned. But the fact that you are here, reading this, having made it through everything that came before today, is a better track record than most people give themselves credit for.
Start noticing the small ones. The parking space. The person who held the door. The thing that worked out at the last possible moment.
Feel grateful for those. Then watch how many more of them appear.

The most successful people I have interviewed give advice that sounds obvious.
Start something on the side. Put yourself out there more. Just do the thing you keep talking about doing.
The reason it sounds obvious to them is exactly what got them to where they are. They did not wait for permission or perfect conditions. They treated the obvious thing as urgent and acted on it.
You are allowed to do the same.

The game really does come down to who stays in it longest.
One rejection and most people exit. A few months of nothing and most people reassess. One bad outcome and the story becomes I knew it wasn't for me.
The people who end up where they wanted to be are not always the most talented. They are the ones who kept showing up after the point where most people found a reason to stop.
Last one standing wins by default more often than anyone admits.
