She/He/They regularly flicked their head scarf over their face and was generally unnoticed. I noticed them and when I asked the staff, who were very friendly, they were a bit embarrassed. I traced the sari wearing uncle to an extreme form of , which is different to the .

Anyone know about this?

I get a lot of people calling out my #Bitcoin skepticism (as in: Bitcoin is a worthless piece of hot garbage trying to kill our planet) because number is again going up. This time it's real, now that the scamers have been caught and all.

But if you want to know why Bitcoin goes up you just need to look at one curve: Tether has printed 4 billion USD from thin air in the last week.

While it's great to see the crypto scam artists SBF and CZ been caught and punished (sadly without making their victims whole) the actual rock that whole scam economy is built on is Tether. Has been Tether for years.

And I really don't get why US regulators let some weird company print fake USD.

I detested the nasty anti-labour/Jacinda stuff on social media, was appalled at the nastiness, dishonesty of some of it

I am just as appalled to see some of those who complained about it are now being just as awful about our new gov and individual ministers. Nasty, sexist attacks on people’s looks rather than policies, lies about motivations - these are bad for democracy no matter which party you back

Politics is made worse when we make it adversarial sport. Let’s not become more like the USA

“In sum, there is no denying that women’s path to leadership positions is paved with many barriers including a very thick glass ceiling. But a much bigger problem is the lack of career obstacles for incompetent men [..] The result is a pathological system that rewards men for their incompetence while punishing women for their competence, to everybody’s detriment.”
