More money than God and every third post is about how they’re miserable and no one respects them yet they will never even consider those two things may be connected.

The best part about Oates’ post is until I looked at the second screenshot, I wasn’t sure which billionaire Twitter poster she was talking about.

So just be careful, people. It's a tough market to negotiate but don't jump at a bad offer because it's the only offer you have. You're going to get stuck later and regret it. I have seen this over and over. ///

Author friends. Twice in the past month I have seen contracts from indie UK publishers who will sign up authors with no advance for 5 years, world rights, English and translated, for 10% royalties. They upload the manuscripts onto Amazon and that is the extent of distribution.1

Meta doesn’t even hide its status as an Evil Corp™️ and Mark Zuck is worse than any Lex Luthor type. It’s not even funny how accurate it is.

Landmark Paris Agreement set a path to slow warming. The world hasn't stayed on it. More than 7 trillion tons of ice gone in a decade but renewables booming. Earth’s progress or lack of it by some numbers

The social experiment of the woman calling churches and asking for baby formula to nourish her hungry baby has revealed Christian churches in America to be utter transactional frauds that don't have one fucking thing in common with the teachings of Jesus. 😳👇

Until you get cancer, and that government payment of $2500 doesn't come close to covering your $350,000 medical bill, and your insurance company drops you.

The President must have finally heard that oral arguments did not go so well for his side.

“Something that makes no sense”
They’re keeping the government closed over an 80-20 issue
Even MORE bearishness from @LindseyGrahamSC, a close ally of Trump:
"This going on way too long, too many people being damaged for no good purpose. We're not going to be extorted, held hostage. You're not going to terrorize the country to make us do something that makes no sense. We'd like to work on health care, but we're not going to extend the debacle called Obamacare"

Trump has spent 10 months sending the message that the govt does what he wants. Demolishing the East Wing was just an exclamation mark on that. So it shouldn't be surprising that Rs can't offload blame for the shutdown. If Trump wants the government open, why isn't it open?
