I am learning about all the other crap that goes on in social media too
this is actually a really valuable tool that can be used, for instance, to determine whether a tweet was made using a commercial social media management tool or by an individual using the app on their phone. https://t.co/FwCeSZIJEu— molly conger (@socialistdogmom) November 14, 2022

xp true but expecting any company to pay $1b a year simply to service its debt doesn't seem like a recipe for getting one's money back
that banks are already, after two weeks, floating the idea of selling off that debt at 60 cents on the dollar doesn't speak well of them

xpostOr when Trump promised a quick fix to two 70-year old crisis in exchange for a Nobel peace prizeApparently to the megalomaniac, genius consists in proving that everything is in fact simple, everybody else being dumb and faking it. I also have a hard time understanding the fascination this kind of psychology exerts on the people who want to believe in them (in the megalomaniac). Maybe they're the same at heart ?
