Jared Kushner refused to allow a proper transition to Biden

He wanted to let Covid rampage through Dem states

He took $2 billion from MBS who bragged Jared was in his pocket

He & Ivanka made $640 million in the WH & got $6 million in PPP money

I began regularly tweeting in 2019, first just to promote my books. This month I decided to stop tweeting not for any political reason or to make a statement, but because the product had degraded. My feed was filled with a bunch of nonsense that wasn’t fun to wade through. As a consumer (and content creator), I decided to go elsewhere. And that is exactly how it should be: platforms should be free to decide how to moderate, and consumers should be free to decide whether to go elsewhere.

Let's speak our aspirations into manifestations.

I'll start.

I will become a part of the zeitgeist in the most unapologetically Black way that I can.

I will disobey the expectations placed on me by others. I will be creative on my own terms.

I will not be bound by the shackles of capitalism. I am not my productivity.

I will excise those who would do me harm. You are with me or you will be left by me.

I will find joy in peace and stillness.

Your turn. #BlackMastodon

And people need to use the Advanced view if they are using a browser and set up a column for the hashtags they want to follow (or combine them all in one column - which is my preference). I also use Tusky on my phone where I can view the same hashtags on a tab.

She cuts right through the B.S. This is how interviews should be conducted 👊🏼 #RIPBarbaraWalters 😥

Dang, I just scrolled through all my posts are realized I never did an introduction. So here...

I'm a guy in his 40's who lives in New England with his family and dog. I'm a bassist, a notary, an amateur photographer, and wood builder. For now. I'm interested in tech, astronomy, books, snowboarding, and trying to find the beauty of the world. ☮️ I believe in equality for ALL.

Elon Musk wants to control your brain. He’s seizing the digital public square in an effort to tilt the discourse toward ultra-conservative politics. What can we do about it? https://georgelakoff.substack.com/p/twitter-ceo-elon-musk-wants-to-control

It's not like he's a black woman who didn't know she was ineligible to vote in a red state.

Friendly reminder to be in-the-know on your work PTO policy... For instance, if you have a cap on your accrued PTO, you're lighting time & money on fire by being at that cap and not using it.

Nobody is going to care more about you than YOU.
USE YOUR PTO!

Damn. That piper looks reusable. Hell of a landing in a hell of a place.

In Italy 2 days ago a 22yo female pilot pulled off an incredible emergency mountain landing. All 3 occupants unharmed.

Reminds me of a much more pleasant version of my crash with better scenery and a nice snow cushion. 10/10.

A good friend used to joke that if we were to find a way to bottle common sense, most people wouldn’t be capable of opening the bottle.

Over in the technology subreddit chatting about misconceptions of the #fediverse and #Mastodon. Misconception no. 1: it’s difficult to join and understand. Reality: it’s not, it’s just different and you need to be willing to learn. Misconception no. 2: nobody’s here. Reality: even if you don’t want to follow a ton of people, you can find interesting posts on your local and federated feeds and other instances. That said, the community here is still early adopters, and that’s not for everyone.

Do you know how many times I've heard over the past few days how much the media is failing to follow the money in this story about the newly elected Rep. George Santos? This story makes it clear that's exactly what happened.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/media/2022/12/29/north-shore-leader-santos-scoop/

So let's follow the money, shall we? Starting with Mr. Santos' latest filing for The Devolder Organization, which is apparently responsible for his sudden unexplained wealth.

The organization lists its address as 336 N. Babcock St. Ste 104, and says another organization at the same address but Ste 101 is there called D&D International Investment Services Inc.

Both are affiliated with an individual named Devaughn Dames, who appears to be both a physician and a CFO somehow. He's also very passionate about spreading his knowledge about how to handle your money wisely. His linkedin page mentions both companies. He also seems to be an IT expert; previous domains include https://web.archive.org/web/20160518071721/http://www.manageditsolutions.net/about.html

One of Mr. Dames' email addresses (dev.dames at gmail) was used to register the vanity domain devaughndames[.]com. Firefox didn't like what that site tried to do when I visited it, but it loaded an empty page that had the heading "Financial Educational Services." But the pop-up takes you to a domain called myuwe.net, which is for an entity called United Wealth Education.

Now, UWE is full of stock photos and videos, and there isn't much there about who runs it. And after spending a few minutes on this site, you'll probably come away with the conclusion that the site is tied to some type of scam.

Well, if you look up the name of what Myuwe.com used to be called -- Financial Educational Services -- you'll see they were shut down JUST THIS YEAR by the US Federal Trade Commission for being a giant pyramid scheme that bilked people out of more than $213 million.

How's that for following the money? :) Wait, I'm not done yet.
