There are increasing numbers of LinkedIn “Invitation” - all from beautiful looking “analysts”, “engineers” or “director” from prestigious school and in my field but very much with broken or AI generated English even some Chinese. I wish LinkedIn give me a button, say “Fuck off”.

Hoping QAnon readers would prove me this news is fake. What has she achieved if this is true? Only wanted to say, “RIP”, from an idiot who had 4 mRNA shots.
Isn’t it contradictory that these Q-headed people rely on social media, which is a product of sci-tech, to deny science?

I’m not a fan of CCP, & despised its 0 Covid policy. But I’m also frustrated with US government’s cold-war mentality and its viewing everything from China as red scare.
Banning TikTok? Is dumber than Trump? Why give CCP credits for every successful Chinese enterprise? 😡

I see a future where smartphones are replaced by smartglasses, allowing us to experience augmented reality in our everyday lives. We will be able to interact with people in real-time, as if they were physically present, and use the technology to enhance our daily activities.

; even the safest 401k is down 10-20% on average, not to mention the deaths of Queen Elizabeth, Soccer King Pele, and journalism icon Barbara Walters (just yesterday), and Covid-19 still wreaking havoc.
Sit tight, brace for a bumpy new ride2023, & wish everyone a safe landing!

Just said it, the year sucked - XI’s unthinkable zero-Covid policy in China, Putin’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, which led to supply chain disruptions and exacerbated the runaway inflation, which in turn crushed the stock market, then came crypto winter

mRNA vaccines work, at least for me, my family, and my friends. We have been enjoying freedom of travel and gathering since June 2021 after we got 2nd dose. Reading the book like this helped to know how far the biotech has advanced & be confident👇 I would also rate it my BoY!
"Christmas Lights for Hope" by Gerry Hofstetter illuminates Kyiv’s sights this Christmas.💛💙
Ukraine will shine bright again, peaceful and free!🇺🇦

You can tell they didn’t click back then. No wonder how far they’ve traveled apart - one closer to glorious victory and one closer to total defeat, just like his buddy Putin.

It’s a rare occasion that both parties were so united tonight, by President Zelenskyy’s address to US Congress.
First time in a long time that hope is rising again.

I’m with you. All the people who love freedom and respect human rights are with you, with the brave young Chinese protesters! Let their voices heard far and beyond!

Admire these young Chinese protesters who reminded me of the events during 1989 pro democracy protests all over China.Slogans like “We don’t want another emperor”, “We want freedom”, “Xi must resign”, “We don’t want lifetime President”, took real courages. Pray for their safety🙏

Same Horizon Organic whole milk prices:
1) BJs - $9.99
2) Walmart - $7.38
They are both in my neighborhood (33647). And a supposedly cheaper membership store charges 34% more for exactly same good! WTF?!
Isn’t this price gauging? Who really caused inflation? C receipt

In light of last week’s market rally, I would emphasize that #CNBC Tom Lee gave this interview on 10/1/22 while the market going through so many roller coaster rides and everyone shit their pants watching their portfolios shrunk 29-30%, especially tech.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_to Very inspiring and probably the best documentary of 2022. Just finished watching it and quite touched with the story, not to mention the cinematography. Directors are the academy award winner for their “Free Solo” climbing documentary. #SpaceX

This what made Twitter so great a digital town square.
Do you not realize it’s more profitable & practical to sell ad spaces around the square than charging town folks who just strolling by? Shouldn’t you focus on getting vendors to bid for those ad spaces instead?

1/ There is some pretty substantial context about Twitter's 2023 revenue and advertisers that I think partly help explains why Musk is really losing it...
And it involves upfront ad sales. Let me explain...

The point best made. Without audiences there will be no platform 🥵
Been on this platform for more than 10 years. Deeply disturbed and contemplating cutting it off.

Twitter can’t become anything other than a digital megaphone for a cohesive voice, either the voice you like to hear or not like to hear. But the voice has to be real and truthful.
Today, my voice said “The proposed new logo of Twitter sucks!” Looking at it sickens my stomach🤮
I don’t agree with Biden’s economic policies 100%, but blaming him for inflation is lack of global perspective - to me, Putin’s unprovoked invasion & China’s ridiculous Covid lockdowns are the major factors. Hiking interests could not solve them but to worsen economy recession🥵 twitter.com/BostonInSouth/

We just to do whatever we can to keep them in that little dark corner.
That corner of society always exists but it was Trump who brought it up to light and made them think they’re really matter. A scammer of unprecedented scale found his market and he just can’t let it go😰

Even I have not used any drug nor possessed them, I support President’s pardon. It makes no fucking sense to jail people for such minor offenses. Remember would like this too.
I am so glad that Trump is no longer in charge. Yes, he again proved himself on top, top of ignorant and racist🤮

It's an embarrassment that Donald Trump was ever our president. It's an embarrassment that so many still support him, and that so many others in his party cower before him.

Putin now will turn his brutal invasion of a sovereign country into Ukrainians and West invading Russia. 😬
I’ve not done the update, will do. I hope that Government has also an automatic notification system to alert citizens who have their vaccination records already in database.

I can’t imagine the world without liberals - it’s their innovative, imaginative and bold thinking that have brought everything we enjoyed using today, including right now that little screen you’re looking at.
And always, there’re “conservatives” who want regression & hold power.

Well said about mainland China and Taiwan relationship. I grew up in red China being brainwashed to think Taiwanese longing to unite with mainland…now I know the real Taiwan & Taiwanese from an unpolluted viewpoint, I have only one thing to say, “Fuck propaganda!”

PRC and Taiwan should just be friends or brothers and benefit from a smooth and respectful relationship. Or not. You can't force anyone to be your friend or brother. Neither force your wife to remain your wife. Good relationships don't come with force.

Appreciate women, not trying to restrain them! The world, software world exists because of them.
How many of you know that the world’s first computer programmer was a woman? How many know who Grace Hopper was?
