Pension funds forced to place risky bets to avoid losing ground as staff issue warnings.
That.... does not sound good.

Nobody wants to opt-in to an endless PTA meeting, Mark. This does not excite.

the next time she burns a pokemon card, tell her you think this was what uncle marx was talking about when he said the existence of the state is inseparable from the existence of slavery

If you think this is exciting, just wait until you hear what they have planned for the dollar in your pocket: edwardsnowden.substack.com/p/cbdcs

All the world’s a stage, but in this case it’s staged specifically for you—the audience who is also the star. edwardsnowden.substack.com/p/conspiracy-p…

@DingoPrincess1 @wikileaks I don't care if James Clapper released it—I care if it is true. I know first-hand that just as credible sources sometimes get things wrong, terrible sources can get things right. What matters most is the evidence.

@InsiderEng Bonus points for those who notice the absolutely massive train station and shopping complex full of cameras *directly behind* these knuckleheads' "safe house," which definitely sounds like a plausible place for a hunted whistleblower to live.
Deeply embarrassed for these people.

As an intensely private person, Laura Poitras has not sought the credit she deserves for her role in what is now quite literally written about in history books as the biggest story of the last decade. But her work changed the public mind around the world.

I hope that The Intercept will, in time, come to recognize that they have not handled Laura's concerns appropriately and apologize—if not to Laura, then at least to their source. #FreeRealityWinner

@Dexerto @inversebrah Not ranked matches.
Not ranked matches, right?

Kansas City gets right up to the line of describing Mike Pompeo as "a boot-licking little weasel whose treacherous squeaks are not to be trusted on matters with even the lowest of stakes."
They probably didn't want to defame an animal.

ok yes i am for sure and very genuinely sorry to all concerned by the potential impact of this joke on the bad man's feelings
we should show greater sensitivity toward those struggling with inflation

@anshelsag On the off-chance you were genuinely misled by some garbage headline, I am in fact still an American citizen. As it turns out, you can collect citizenships like Pokemon cards.

Nobody outside the story understood how much pressure we were under. It is not an exaggeration to say that a single mistake could have sent everyone involved to prison—or worse. And during the most sensitive period of the reporting, Laura had the hardest part of it.

If you're blocked, don't feel badly; it's nothing personal. Just trying to improve signal to noise ratio for people who don't want to wade through crypto spam and off-topic screeching.

Twitter polls are extremely, extremely scientific. I'm pretty sure they teach that in school.

The entire point of advertisers is to carry out watering-hole attacks on human attention. If you keep enough attention, they're always going to be there -- right behind the tall grass.

Something like 26,000 words here. Hard to brush off, even for the @nytimes.
