@jeff_hallett Yes. He did. He was asking for more aid once he had aid. And he was receiving fame & acclaim the whole time. Courting FDR for US aid was maybe the #1 topic on his mind. The Splendid and the Vile: A Saga of Churchill, Family, and Defiance During the Blitz https://t.co/yiMUQgcaMt

All Work and No Play: The Misunderstood Masterpiece of Jack Torrance

Jack Torrance
Lee EdwardsLee Edwards

Shooter Gavin and Bill Lumbergh both classic bad founders. Both “just looking for a technical cofounder.” Ruby Rodh obvious choice. Unlike those two, actually understands marketing. (Jack “all work and no play” Torrance is a tempting choice. But murder is obv non-starter.) https://t.co/MCoDZzCO1C

George Lucas had a lot of crazy villain names in Star Wars, but the best one is the leader of the InterGalactic Banking Clan who funded the Separatist Army during the Clone Wars: San Hill. https://t.co/fwaCuSjdwg https://t.co/iO8B2MPxL9

@miradu Bill Gates’ book “How to Avoid a Climate Disaster” has really good stuff on why this adoption is taking a long time.

Just saw an algorithmic “this day in history” video ad on a website. Notable events on 9/11 according to the vid: * Hamilton appt Sec Treas * John Ritter died * smthng in the War of 1812 * Kruzchev died * Mars probe landed * Taraji Henson born That’s it. Pretty boring day tbh. https://t.co/fDORRlxMfj

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

Philip K. Dick
Lee EdwardsLee Edwards

@tylertringas @devahaz I’m saying the opposite, that it matters, but why? If a forgery is identical, it should give you the same pleasure upon viewing. But the feeling of ownership has value, and that’s the same with NFTs. (Philip K Dick explores this well in Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?)
