There are basically 5 ways to accumulate a billion dollars:

1) Profiting from a monopoly

2) Insider-trading

3) Political payoffs

4) Fraud

5) Inheritance

Don’t believe the self-made myth.

Meta’s lifeblood is your data.

Deleting or suspending your accounts great. If you can’t yet, somewhere to start:

In privacy settings: limit data collection and opt out of personalized ads. Don’t doomscroll. Don’t click around. If you want to support a creator/brand, do it outside meta walls.
NEW: Platformer has obtained the dehumanizing new guidelines moderating what people can now say about trans people on Facebook and Instagram. Employees tell me these changes are likely to inspire more violence against LGBT people: www.platformer.news/meta-new-tra...

Deleting your meta accounts is not only free — it frees up a buuunch of time to pick up a new hobby. Ideas:

Archery
Winemaking
Chess
Baking
Eating the rich
In case you’re interested in the weeds of how bad this is,

this is a redline version of Meta’s formerly Hateful SPEECH now Hateful CONDUCT rule.

Get off X, Meta, and Corporate Media.

Start fighting here. 💪🔥💙

BlueSky needs you! 🫵

#Resist
We are in a speed race with disinformation.

We are watching history being rewritten before things happen.

Everyone needs to stop fighting for X and Meta. We need all warriors to fight for BlueSky and truth right here!!

BlueSky is under attack now too.

Interesting strategy: Tell a big chunk of your customer base you don't give a shit what they think, only what people who hate them think, then insult them again when they leave bsky.app/profile/mims...

The best thing you can do is starve Meta for revenue. Never click on or buy anything through their ads. Never pay for an ad to sell a product or advertise an event. Never do anything again that will put one cent in Mark Zuckerberg's pocket!

You misunderstand the point of American health care.

The purpose is to make wealthy people even more wealthy. If some patient care happens, that's acceptable - as long as it's not too expensive and keeps the premiums, co-payments, medical school tuition, and deductibles flowing.

TAKE MY MONEY

Look, I'm not sure about Krypto, but this seems like the old-time religion, and want that John Williams fanfare on electric guitar on the soundtrack.
I said a while back that Corensweat was the obvious choice.

New York Rep. Pat Ryan, who easily held his Hudson Valley swing seat last month, spoke for AOC in the Dem conference meeting yesterday. Asked him what he said and he just sent me the speech - sharing in case it's interesting
