Most parents, when going out with their 1 year old, do reasonable things to protect the child. They have car seats, tend to drive safely, etc.
Then you have other parents that steal, then instead of owning up to it, drive their car right at police.
Parents aren't all the same.
It's just weird when they fantasize about your butt in cartoon form, then remove your ability to respond 😂😂

Some people really will support any criminal as long as the skin color is the same as them, well beyond the point of common sense and logic.
If this happened and such a video existed, the defense would have shown it in court and screaming this from the rooftops. They didn't.
Man, after the Luka trade last year, I think back to that one half that AD and Kyrie played together at AAC. That really was a spectacular half of basketball! #EndOfAnEra

"Why is nothing getting done?" the boss asked. I pointed to his calendar...
47 meetings this week.
His executive team averaged 42.
"When do they actually work?" I asked.
Long pause.
"During meetings?" he said, not understanding me.
"No. When do they DO the work they're meeting about?"
He stared at the screen.
"After hours?" he guessed.
"So you're paying them to talk about work during work hours.
Then do work during life hours."
His face changed.
We pulled up his Sales Manager's calendar.
Back-to-back blocks.
8am to 6pm solid.
"She just missed her third kid's soccer game," he said quietly.
"And her numbers?" I asked curiously.
"Down 20%."
We both paused. He stared at his desk.
"So, when does she think?"
Another pause.
"Ummm. I guess she doesn't."
I opened the file from his top performer two years ago.
The one who left for a competitor.
"Remember Sandra?"
"Our best COO ever. We miss... I miss her."
"Look at her exit interview."
One line stood out:
"I spent 90% of my time in meetings about the work I never had time to do."
The boss leaned back.
"We've been so busy looking busy..."
"That you forgot to be productive."
Monday morning.
He canceled every recurring meeting.
Sent one email:
"No meetings before noon.
Mornings are for doing.
Afternoons for deciding."
Chaos for two weeks.
People didn't know what to do with the time.
Month three?
Revenue up 30%.
New products shipping on time.
Teams working together seamlessly.
The Sales Manager' even made her daughter's championship game.
And won the quarter.
Six months later, he called me.
"We only meet when there's something to decide.
Not something to discuss."
"And?"
"Turns out, that's about 70% less often."
Look at your next meeting.
Count the faces looking back at you.
Each one has real work dying on their desk.
Each one's anxiety is climbing
because it isn't getting done.
They want to build.
Create.
Solve.
Ship.
Instead, they're performing presence... for you.
Nodding at the right moments.
Watching their to-do list grow.
Knowing there's no time.
Fix the calendar.
Or watch those faces disappear.
One by one.
Until you're holding meetings about why nothing gets done.
With no one there to answer you.
My favorite kind of Twitter user! "You are a coward, find a backbone!", followed by an immediate block. Many such cases
We need Ricky Gervais to speak at the Grammys next, apparently
"if you're a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?" -Billie at the @WSJ Innovator awards tonight in New York!
This guy gets it, and this is precisely how bankers took over the world. And it goes all the way back to around 1913 or so.
You forgot the most important bit.
The USA that issued the loan did not actually give your country anything. It merely printed some USD out of thin air (created a new credit entry on a computer) and allocated it to the "Nigeria" account at the New York Federal Reserve bank.
To repay that fake computer money and its interest, your country will then exchange actual resources with genuine value like oil, cobalt, gold, cocoa etc for the fake computer money, and then pay interest for the privilege. So the USA buys your real resources with fake numbers it created on a computer in New York, and then your government (which doesn't print USD) has to hope it can sell enough of your real ancestral resources to be able to earn the fake American computer credit that it needs to make its double digit interest payments.
And when your country obviously can't keep up with the payments, no worries - the helpful US government subdivisions called IMF and World Bank "advise" you to devalue your currency in exchange for "emergency financing," so that they can get even more of your real resources for even fewer of their fake computer numbers, which are now worth 1,500x your own currency. And since unlike them you don't have 800 foreign military bases that enable you just print more of your currency and offload the inflation burden to everyone else, you end up with a lot less money to spend on running your fucking country.
But that's not a problem, because the IMF helpfully creates a comprehensive Structural Adjustment Program for you to defund your education, healthcare, public infrastructure, and everything that might ever give your people hope of a better life. Those things are for el gringos in the Global North. Your country is in the Global South and is full of el negritos, so nothing for you senor. Oh and by the way, the "emergency financing" also carries its own separate double digit interest, so now you have even more debt than before and less money than ever to pay it off with.
So you have to damn near convert your entire country into an open pit mine just to be able to extract enough valuable raw materials to hopefully sell for fake American computer credits at a price they set for you, and you will use the pitiful income from this to make your interest payments while trying to run a semblance of a country, until you can't keep up with the payments again. Then the IMF sends you another PDF headlined "Structural Adjustment Program". Maybe this time you will need to give up the firstborn of every household in exchange for "emergency financing"...

"And come November 8th, when grocery stores in areas hardest hit by theft shut down due to unprofitabilty, we didn't see anyone in these areas crying about living in food deserts. Those people just got jobs so they could afford food in better areas."
Just so we’re clear-
ALT Come November 1st when SNAP benefits get shut off I want to make sure we’re all on the same page. We didn’t see ANYONE “steal” food from the store. Nope. That person walked out with a full cart and as far as we’re ALL concerned they paid we just didn’t see it. We. Saw. Nothing.
Having recently lost my dog of 13 years, I'm reminded of the Chris Rock OJ bit. "Not saying he should have done that, but I understand!"
Pet owner forced driver who hit, killed his dog to dig dog’s grave a gunpoint: ‘I should shoot you know for it’ trib.al/gNJ8m1U
If these were actually MAGA plans, I'd be wearing the red hat myself! Sadly, they're just more of the same, with different cronies that benefit from our hard-earned dollars.
Can we just go ahead and shut down the federal government, then keep it there? Tax collection, all of it
