OMG this
the main reason to go after the rich is that if you don’t the entire structure of your society is predicated on the whims of people who are entirely disconnected from ordinary life
billionaires are simply too dangerous to exist, and any budgetary stuff that comes out of it is just a bonus

They should have fined Google one googol rubles! Unbelievably disappointing here from Russia’s Supreme Court, they could have been legends
🤨 Russia’s top court hit Google with a surreal mega-fine.
The Moscow Times says the Supreme Court upheld a 91.5 quintillion-ruble penalty—about $1.2 quintillion, dwarfing the world’s GDP.

David Attenborough: 'Some 20,000 years ago, cats evolved the ability to sense clean bedding in 5.7 seconds from up to 250 metres. Since that time, we haven't been able to get the furry buggers out of our houses.'

His alleged mistress left her precious heated blanket on the other plane, so Corey Lewandowski demanded the pilot turn the plane around to go get it.
When he refused, Lewandowski -- who has zero authority to fire anyone at any time -- tried to fire the pilot IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FLIGHT.

Ramadan is imminent so I'd like to share one of my favourite memories. Amble back with me to 2001; I am 19 and I have aspirations of becoming a good, professional stand-up comedian. Once a month I meet with actual real pro comedians who try to turn wannabes into the real deal. 🧵
