@dieworkwear Here, have $0.000000001 for your troubles. Thank you.

where i live, the avg 1,500 sq ft home in a walkable neighborhood costs about $1.5M. so i only need to do 500k of these posts

home ownership in the US is now out of reach for many, including me. by posting these comments about famous conservatives, i get hundreds of replies, earning me $3/ post. this puts me closer to owning a home in a walkable neighborhood without engaging in misinformation or racism

@toluogunlesi Since then, tons of journalists have moved to #bsky. Are you there, @toluogunlesi? would be nice to see you again (I left X mid Nov 2024)

“A memo circulated to NPR staff says traffic has dropped by only a single percentage point as a result of leaving Twitter, now officially renamed X, though traffic from the platform was small already and accounted for just under two percent of traffic before the posting stopped.”

@dieworkwear Wow. Patel has no taste.

wtf

Clean-Up Tons of Debris from the Ocean & Beaches on @globalgiving goto.gg/42171 this #GivingTuesday my 9yo son is promoting cleaning up the oceans with his allowance!

I'll have to leave my #NaNoWriMo progress there at 47k words for November. I plan to add another 40k words in December. No days off! Almost done with my 700 page manuscript!

@CosmereNetwork @_jgx_ @BrandSanderson Is this yet another combination (That happens to be my prev?) 1 WoK 2 RoW 3 Oathbringer 4 WoR but all are 9 out of 10 or better

Before ‘WIND AND TRUTH’ releases in a few weeks… How would you rank the four published novels in The #StormlightArchive? - ‘THE WAY OF KINGS’ - ‘WORDS OF RADIANCE’ - ‘OATHBRINGER’ - ‘RHYTHM OF WAR’

... This unbelievable genius is from the middle of the two [East and West], westernized and thus ended all wars for good."

the next prophecy (#57) in the Tui Bei Tu series states: "In an extreme situation, things turn around. A three-feet tall kid, made all foreigners bow down. When Blue West and Red East struggle, a son of God appears, a gentleman who brings peace and stops the killing. ...

There is a 1400 year old book of 60 Chinese Prophecies, called Tui Bei Tu. People argue the first 55 have happened as of 2024. Here is the next one (#56):

@dieworkwear : proof that the best writer covering the "most boring topic imaginable" will still be the best thing you could possibly ever read

@paige_leckie @dieworkwear I wish when I was last single (over a decade ago) that I'd had a daily @dieworkwear story to read and inspire me to rethink my approach to apparel!

It is a truth universally acknowledged that @dieworkwear is the best thing to happen to this app ever. 10/10 chef’s kiss immaculate

@johnastoehr @mattsheffield Here I disagree. The big lie machine that got Trump elected will ensure that every consequence of his policies (starting with tariffs) are somehow caused by "radical leftists" and his supporters will never learn the truth. They'll turn to Trump to jail the "leftists" instead.

@mattsheffield 22. If reality matters more than perception to Trump voters, they’ll turn against him the minute they start paying three and four times more for food, clothing, electronics and more.

1. The debate continues over why Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris. So far, it seems to be centered on two related arguments. One is that the vice president didn’t do enough to appeal to white working-class voters and their concerns about the economy. So they voted for Trump.

@johnastoehr @mattsheffield YES! I'd like to see more effort going into dissecting the propaganda machine and quantifying the amount of sheer intentional disinformation at work. I saw some report that "2 billion" impressions of false information hit twitter in the 6 months, but can't find that source.

@mattsheffield 16. For now, I think it’s important to put the rightwing media apparatus at the center of the election postmortem debate, because if we don’t, we’re going to learn the wrong lesson.

This is stunning. ACP looks at 15 types of counties in the US, that capture sub-cultures. Trump gained a little in every type, and Harris lost a little in every type. #election #analysis #ACP americancommunities.org/this-president…

People feel they belong in a community when it actively tries to find out what people need

@Rachel_MTG At least 100X better than the same spider in alpha (that yes, boomers played because reach was printed on exactly two cards in circulation)

@ChrisMurphyCT When we used Pew's political typologies to study identity trends in the US, we found that there is a very large and real rift in the left between progressives and establishment liberals. One group thinks the system fundamentally creates unfairness & the other wants to preserve it

8/ We cannot be afraid of fights - especially with the economic elites who have profited off neoliberalism. The right regularly picks fights with elites - Hollywood, higher ed, etc. Democrats (e.g. the Harris campaign) are tepid in our fights with billionaires and corporations.

That was a cataclysm. Electoral map wipeout. Senate D practical ceiling is now 52 seats. R's is 62. Time to rebuild the left. We are out of touch with the crisis of meaning/purpose fueling MAGA. We refuse to pick big fights. Our tent is too small. 1/ Some early thoughts:
