Please send me your 1 move blunders where you hung a piece, pawn, or an exchange. forms.gle/bKphRU91oGUUFh… I plan on creating a set of Anki flashcards to practice blunder prevention and distribute it.

@mynamehear The South has won more SEC championships than anyone else. COMBINED.

The South is amazing. Imagine making absolutely zero progress in basically any area for 160 years. That's almost a talent.

@the_transit_guy Because people in NYC have taste

One question I’ve always had is why are there so few chain restaurants in NYC? There’s one Chili’s and Cheesecake Factory in a city that’s larger than most states.

I am the Chairman and CEO of Vornado Realty Trust. Eighty-four years old. Seven buildings in Midtown Manhattan. I said what I said. I said "tax the rich" is the equivalent of a racial slur. I said it at REBNY. Into the microphone. Eight hundred people. Median net worth in that room was north of $240 million, I know because our CFO ran the guest list through a Bloomberg terminal as a joke, and then it wasn't a joke. And when I said it, twelve people applauded. The rest nodded. One woman in the third row mouthed, "Finally." I saw her. Sharon, my communications advisor, Columbia, $430,000 a year, very bright, Sharon wants me to walk it back. She drafted something. "Mr. Roth's comments were intended to highlight the emotional impact of political rhetoric on business communities." I read it. I put it in the trash can on my desk. Not the recycling. The trash. Here's my clarification: I understated it. "Tax the rich" is worse than a slur. A slur is just a word. It doesn't come with a CBO score. Nobody is introducing a bill called the Racial Slur Implementation Act of 2026. But there are seventeen active proposals in Congress, I had Sharon count them, seventeen proposals designed to take more of my money. My money. Mine. Money I acquired by being better at acquiring Manhattan commercial real estate than anyone alive for four consecutive decades. That is not a crime. That is a record. I pay property taxes on $18.2 billion in assessed assets. $412 million a year. Say it again: four hundred and twelve million. I carry that number. It's the first thing I think about when I see a protest sign. I think: I pay more in property tax than the entire annual budget of the city of Fort Lauderdale. I looked this up. Fort Lauderdale: $408 million. Steve Roth: $412 million. I am a small city. And the city doesn't get screamed at. My effective tax rate last year was 11.4 percent. I say this because I believe in transparency and because I'm not ashamed of it. The rate reflects the legal structure of real estate investment trusts, depreciation schedules Congress established in 1986, and carried interest provisions that both parties have voted to preserve for forty years. I did not write these laws. I organized my entire financial existence around them with the help of nine full-time tax professionals who have offices on the 38th floor of 888 Seventh Avenue, which I also own. Their office is in my building. Their work protects my buildings. This is not a loophole. Sharon calls it a loophole. I've told her: a structure maintained by nine attorneys across four decades is not a loophole. A loophole is something you slip through once. This is architecture. This is the foundation. This is the building. Last Tuesday, same as every Tuesday, I walked past 1290 Sixth Avenue. My building. And there was a man. Same man as last week. Same sign: "Billionaires Pay Your Fair Share." He was standing on my sidewalk. My literal sidewalk — my company owns the ground lease. He was maybe thirty. He was wearing a jacket I would estimate cost $60. My lunch that day was $114. For one. I am telling you this not to boast but because these are facts. He has decided I'm his enemy. Based on a number he saw on a Forbes list. He doesn't know what I pay. He doesn't know what my buildings cost this city in construction jobs and lease revenue and foot traffic. He knows one number. He has made one judgment. I see him every Tuesday. I've started to notice things. He brings coffee from the cart, not the Starbucks. He has a backpack that looks heavy. He doesn't look unhealthy. He looks like he probably works somewhere, but not on Tuesdays. I've wondered: does he have a job? Does he have a building? Does he have anything that depends on him the way 4,200 employees depend on me? I suspect not. And yet he has opinions about my tax rate. I gave $22 million to charity last year. The Met. NYU Langone. Mount Sinai. I gave a building to NYU. Not money for a building — a building. The Steven Roth Residence Hall. It houses 400 students. That man with the sign has never housed 400 students. He hasn't housed one. He gives cardboard. I give structures. This is not a comparison I'm making to flatter myself. It's just arithmetic. When I said what I said at REBNY, I was saying what every person in that room believes and none of them will say publicly because they have communications advisors and the communications advisors all went to Columbia and they all say "unhelpful." I'm eighty-four. I'm too old for helpful. I'm too old to perform restraint for people who hate me for something I can't change. I didn't choose to be rich. I chose to be good at one thing for a very long time, and this is what happened. You don't punish someone for that. You don't legislate against someone for that. My net worth fluctuates between $3.8 and $4.1 billion depending on the quarter. I fluctuate more in a fiscal week than that man on my sidewalk will earn in his life. Both of these are facts. Only one of them is considered polite to say. They want me to apologize. I'll be dead in ten years. Twenty if I'm lucky. And they'll still be renting my buildings.

@BrianMcDonaldIE It is starting to feel like the war fatigue is setting in. Im an outside observer, but I do speak Russian and follow a lot of Russian language outlets.

The same Economist in March 2012: “The beginning of the end of Putin” and “his time is running out.” That was 14 years, three US presidents, six UK prime ministers, multiple sanctions waves and one pandemic ago.

@basilaev_oloxoy Осталось только уточнить ЧЬЕЙ день победы?

Те кто считает что СВО идет слишком долго, можете пойти в военкомат и поехать на фронт и приблизить День Победы Либо завалите хлебало

@AGDugin Wait so are you a Nazi or anti-Nazi? it's very hard to tell.

The Whites aka Indo-Europeans according to Dumezil have and always had as a core tripartite ideology - priests, warriors, workers (peasants). The capitalist bourgeoisie with the Modernity has totally destroyed it. The capitalism is anti-white ideology. The whites implemented it.

@bobbyfijan Above market rents!

“Luxury” is a meaningless word in housing

@AshForkStudios @saylordocs Unless you're self employed and then you have to pay both and it hurts

@saylordocs Not true. The person is charged 6.2%. The employer has to match that when they submit to the government. It was never the persons money. As for increasing the cap, Dems have had control previously and did nothing to fix this.

Murray: Is it true that people making under $184,000 pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate? Dahl: Yes Murray: And the rate for someone making $1,000,000? Dahl: 2.2% Murray: So, a 12.4% tax for people making less than $184,000, but 2.2% for a millionaire or .0002% for billionaires.

Whites? They have destroyed the world and themselves. To be white means to be nihilist. It is selfhatred race. It caused so many troubles to others and to itself. It has lost the right to be something. No arguments to support its existence.

@lachesisq @ChampionsLeague Read the rules Nepo!

But ok, the refereeing just sucks in the @ChampionsLeague this year 😕

@neolatyno Jewish eyes send him to the death camps

Nazi SS pamphlet kind of physical features

@MattWalshBlog Slippery slope. You justify one governmental killing, next thing you know it's Russia 1937.

I am challenging any death penalty opponent — there are millions of them, allegedly — to step up to the plate right now and explain why this guy should not be executed. His guilt is established beyond any doubt whatsoever. His crime is utterly savage and heinous. Tell us why he doesn’t deserve to die. Go ahead.

@kennf66 @tier_1st Laimer committed a handball 0.5 seconds before Nuno Mendes

@tier_1st If this isn’t a penalty , how about Nuno Mendes handball???

Have they changed the handball rule in football now? Is this not a handball committed by João Neves

@maquina0369 @Cosmic8wanderer @tier_1st Bayern player had a handball on that play before

@Cosmic8wanderer @tier_1st what about the handball by Nuno.M? that was also hit by teammate? if no then its a yellow and he is off - not a bayern fan

@Baltlol Imagine you just paid off a 30 year mortgage on that thing

damn well that was a waste of time

@HrustalevaNata Кровожадная баба. Не жалко 300 000 своих парней?

Напомню с кем воюет Россия! И заметьте Россия воюет за свои! Так что пошли все нахрен! Победа будет за нами 🇷🇺

@GnobRashu16 Войнович Москва 2042, как в воду глядел

@Rrrrrrrockstar @GeronimoMorgans What's the problem with that? People wanted to sell and he wanted to buy. Everybody is happy

@GeronimoMorgans I can forgive him that. But buying 180 apartments in Madrid to rent is diabolical, he should be in jail for that. He priced out his own fans of living in the Madrid!

Diego Simeone gets paid £26m per year (the highest paid manager in the world) to assemble a squad that masters the art of running around like mad men, looking incredibly busy whilst doing absolutely nothing. his greatest trophy is eliminating Barcelona. losing finals. and building a team that serves absolutely no meaningful purpose to the football world whatsoever.

@Panchenko_X What's your point? All of Ireland speaks English, as does all of Australia. All of Austria speaks German, all of Uruguay speaks Spanish etc...

Only 32% in Kyiv speak Ukrainian - 'Kyiv Digital' poll, So, about 68% of Kyiv residents speak Russian. Importantly: of those 32%, only 10% speak pure Ukrainian. The rest use a mix of Ukrainian, Russian, Polish dialects and made-up words. Thus, only about 3% of Kyiv's population actually speaks Ukrainian. Reminder: I am the winner of the All-Ukrainian Olympiads in Ukrainian language.
