RT John Jackson (@hissgoescobra)The U.S. is planning to move THAAD systems meant to protect against China to the Middle East, according to South Korean media. I am not getting the warm and fuzzy "everything is going according to plan" feeling.https://t.co/70A0hKbNdH ...

RT Mary Weller (@MWellertXc)Understand this: The school these teachers were at had SEVEN students in ONE GRADE on ONE CAMPUS being socially transitioned. Of those, at least 4 had parents who were being deceived. A girl was being transitioned to "he/it". One had divorced parents, so the school inserted itself into this family's trauma and took one side.I interviewed another teacher from EUSD (the district against which this suit originated). She had other teachers actively recruit students to a GSA-type club ...

RT Nick Szabo (@NickSzabo4)This is an extremely fraudulent use of the word "community." Strangers with alien customs come from distant lands, uninvited by actual existing communities; suddenly a politician calls them "an integral part of the community."Very much no.Actual communities are people with well-understood and shared customs who *communicate*. Without shared understandings and customs, and without well-understood communications based on those shared understandings, there is no community. There are ...

RT Nick Szabo (@NickSzabo4)It seems Jane Street may have had a long-standing culture that essentially trained crypto scammers, and perhaps also concocted and ran some of the scams themselves.Terra/Luna was a jenga tower waiting for somebody to topple it, and it may have been Jane Street that figured out how to do it. If crypto is not strong and secure against such things, it provides little or no benefit over traditional finance, so I'm not going to cry about this, and perhaps it should even be applauded.Th ...
