What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

Our university purchased faculty subscriptions to the Calm app and then doubled many of our course loads. Join your faculty union and be the thorn in their side in your senates or assemblies.

In many aspects of law, companies are treated like people.

But imagine if people could register for "limited liability" for a few quid!

The country would be in chaos, which is exactly what corporate limited liability is doing to us.

I wrote about it in 2018, but it's an issue so fiercely defended by social silence that I found it impossible to get any traction. It's one of those occasions on which everyone thinks you've gone mad, as the alternative is to recognise that the system is mad.

If insurers believe the liability arises through malfeasance or deception by their clients, they would then either seek to recover the money or return the liability to the client. It would not be the get-out-of-jail free card it is today.

Limited liability is one of our weird silences. It's a massive free gift society makes to plutocrats, seldom remarked upon, let alone contested.
Shareholders should have to buy limited liability, like any other insurance. The insurers would then be liable. 🧵

Only in Brighton are there ‘real gemstone’ heart vending machines … #urbangeology #brighton

A photo of a cylinder-shaped vending machine on a street which sells heart-shaped polished stones made from agate, jaspers, lapis lazuli etc.

A close up of the vending machine merchandise described in the previous image. Heart shaped polished stones in shades of red, blue, green etc.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

These RIFs are the brain-child of Russell Voght, the main author of Project 2025.

Voght is a Far Right extremist who wants to obliterate the Federal Government. Literally.

He wants to nuke it. Vaporize it. Send it into oblivion. This is just the start.
