  1. @skribe In their defense, William Bligh must have been a bit of a cunt. Previously as captain of the *Bounty* his crew had got so sick of him they forced him to row six and a half thousand kilometers home, and after that another crew on the *Director* also mutinied. As a result he was, of course, elected a Fellow of the Royal Society for distinguished services in navigation, botany, etc. #FailingUpwards #WhiteDudes

  11. As we celebrate the release of the #Israeli #Hostages from #Gaza after two years of captivity (9 months after #DonTheCon told everyone he'd have it done before he even took office), I find myself thinking more & more of this Classic bit...

    NEARLY THIRTY YEARS AGO, #MadTV predicted the T**** Administration (just substitute Adderall for Alcohol): #PerfectMetaphor #FailingUpwards

    I couldn't help but chuckle when the Gov of Utah (with #Patel behind him) announcing:

    "WE GOT HIM!"

    No you didn't. He turned himself in. If he hadn't, he'd probably still be at large. #DisasterPresidency #FailingUpwards

    – 23andMe bankruptcy notice

    Well this all sounds above board…

  30. (#ElonMusk) a guy who promised Mars colonies by 2022 while his cars’ crash rates outpace production is now influencing national aviation safety.

  33. @ralfmaximus @JasonPerseus
    And as usual in the corporate world, Conde, Blumenstein, and Budoff are #failingupwards and will be rewarded for this attempt, claiming an A for Effort. Their heads won't roll. SAD!

  34. Isn't it fascinating to see #Blackrock fail upwards.

    If #Blackrock's algorithms are so great, why is it that the #CEO predicted that #Russia would cave to the #USA in a few weeks of the #proxyWar?

    Could it be that it was in Blackrock's interest to *say* one thing and, in reality, benefit from the boost in the #weaponIndustry?

    How much would you give to see Blackrock and C.A.G.E.M.A.F.I.A. servers get taken down, permanently?

    Maybe don't answer that. *wink

  35. @theintercept
    It *is* the #WorldBank. Can anyone really trust the #IMF and WorldBank these days. We can only assume Blackrock is hoping to cash in on #Ukraine too, with recent news that they may get the lucrative contracts to rebuild (whatever is left of) the country.

    Even the #BlackRock founder himself alleged at the start of the conflict that #Russia would be defeated in weeks. So either he was lying, or his mass of predictive, #AI supercomputers were wrong.
