The more subtle thing that I think slips past a lot of people is the reality of wealth. Supercars and designer brands are vanity items. Most actual wealthy people get there by investing, and you don't build massive wealth by investing in vanity. The people you see driving supercars and wearing luxury brands are most likely to be non-wealthy people who spend all their money on giving the impression of wealth or trust fund babies, rather than self-made people who have enough that those items are of insignificant cost to them. The absolute worst person you can take financial advice from is the guy in a $100k suit driving a $3m car.

@aral I'll be 66 in a few days and since I was a child I've had thousands of people, mostly, but not all white tell me that talking about race is why racist is still a problem. That people who are not colorblind, who see race are the real racists.
In the webified, browser based Internet and social spaces like Facebook, created safe white spaces with rules for using discussion of race, sex, gender, politics. Discussion of whiteness being the default normal gets a pass, everything else is banned.

An early pencil sketch I did, about 2 months after I started drawing (in my mid-40s). And the first time I thought "Yeah, that's half decent".
The Shambles, York, England.
I cannot keep this to myself. There is a website (radio.garden) where you can listen to radio stations all over the world for free. No log in. No email address. Nothing.
When the site loads, you are looking at the globe. Slide the little white circle over the green dots (each green dot is a radio station) until you find one you like.
I have been listening to this station in the Netherlands and it absolutely slaps. I have no idea what they're saying but the music is fantastic.

Super psyched to announce I'm pre-launching my next course on Python fundamentals!
This course will cover all of the foundational topics in the #Python programming language, from scratch to writing functions, loops and logic. The early bird price is $5 and will go up to, but not ever more than, $10 after launch.
I'm also offering coaching/mentoring services for a monthly subscription on my site as well, for those who have more specific questions and niche areas of study. The offering is $50 a month and allows for one meeting per week to cover topics in the #Python, #Rust and #Javascript languages.
This community has built the foundation of my career with cheap and free learning resources. That's the primary reason I started my YouTube channel and the biggest reason behind offering classes. I hope you all enjoy, and I hope to see some of you in coaching sessions!

Great news, Andrew dick-Tate has been arrested.
He is involved in trafficking. No surprise there.
The kitties at #ErnestosSanctuary today from Lorraine Winson. If you are able, please consider donating. They are desperately in need of canned food for sick/injured kitties: https://ernestosanctuary.org/
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)

Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
