    I drew a treasure map for my grandson. I think his mom is going to print it out for him.

    Speaking of #A1, he's gained weight. He used to be tall and thin. He doesn't look fat, but he's no longer noticeably thin, either. When I was 10, I reached 66lb / 30kg. I'd expect he's beyond that already.

    They are bigger these days. #A1 will soon be ten. He's as tall as the light switches in recent photos. If those switches are at the same height as the ones in my home, he's about as tall as I was at age 16.

    @fu I don't expect that they'll be able to reform the international financial system (or even most national financial systems) in ways that they believe will be more equitable. (And that's without considering the endemic corruption in most such countries.)

    I'm slowly moving toward using #cryptocurrencies when possible, to deprive the corrupt and evil financial system of a little money and power, and toward encouraging others to do the same.

    People in countries like India (which revoked much of its currency in order to try and force people into the financial system) likewise need something other than "reforming the current system".

    @clacke In every good movie, someone pulls out the information needed to resolve the situation using previously useless knowledge. So yeah. One of your followers might have to run through the streets of Hong Kong and deposit a million HKD in a Bank of America account before midnight to prevent some tragedy. Let's just hope that person is already exercising and controlling their weight, so they don't collapse in front of Citibank, one building away from BoA (or BofA, as they tend to be known here).

    > The drops in both new jobs and wage growth contained in a Department of Labor report released on Friday elicited cheers from financial world insiders.

    > "This is a really terrific jobs report in lots of subtle ways" tweeted Neil Irwin, Axios’s chief economic correspondent. He said,"Job growth is soft-landingish" β€” polite econ-speak for saying growth is decreasing steadily.

    Jerome Powell's anti-worker, anti-people orientation means that he needs to be removed from office and replaced with someone who puts people before bankers and corporate management.

    "F*ck the bankers" should be heard on every street corner until even corrupt Congress-members do the right thing for once.

    > Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., has warned that the Fed's rate hikes "risks triggering a devastating recession." Warren's assessment was echoed by the Fed's own research, which this summer warned that, in a past example, aggressive interest rate hikes in rapid succession resulted in the depression of 1920. The United Nations has also called on the Fed to stop its rate hikes, warning that it risks a "global recession." The International Monetary Fund issued a similar warning, as did a World Bank paper.

    We all know that Congress and the President won't do the right thing unless there is so much pressure from the voting public that they have no choice.

      Financial World Celebrates Slowing Wage and Employment Growth in New Jobs Report
      from The Intercept
      In the debate over American workers’ welfare versus the Federal Reserve’s inflation-cooling rate hikes, the workers are losing.

    The thing is, even when webrings were a thing, they weren't very good at showing people where they'd go if they clicked. Just because someone liked site1 doesn't mean that they'll like site2. Likewise, joining wasn't necessarily straightforward, so you might volunteer to join your site to the webring, but not be included. Most webrings sent you to the next site in the list instead of giving you a page where you could select the site(s) you wanted to visit.

    There were good reasons people stopped clicking webring links and using search instead. Search could be more inclusive as well as more comprehensive.

    If you're thinking of redoing webrings, learn some lessons from search. Don't just reproduce the same failed concept.

    Air India should face huge fines and have their top managers banned from the industry permanently. This is the only way to get megacorps to pay attention.

    #John_Deere agrees to give US farmers the right to repair their tractors.

    While this is a good first step, it still pretends that Deere has some right to control the equipment that people bought. They don't, and we must never let them forget that.

    A post showing up in followers streams when you fave it is a late Twitterism that helps make that site more horrid. Whenever I go to that site, it wants to show me all sorts of garbage from people I don't follow, polluting my stream with irritating and irrelevant posts while hiding posts of people I chose to follow behind algorithms.
