People don't become a billionaire by being nice.

TikTok, and scamming middlemen, take so much money from donated money, that almost nothing arrives where the gifter expects it to arrive. The BBC did a test: if 106 dollars were gifted to an account in Syria, similar to many refugee families there asking for money, only $19 would arrive in the hands of the family. TikTok's response: we get on it immediately and delete this illegal content asking for money (paraphrased) (they were fine with earning money from it).

Bought a book about autism in adults, which seems written with a scientific perspective. Hopefully it will counteract the enormous amount of stuff that's out there focusing on autistic children.
It's my theory that it takes especially communicative people to draw attention to something, and autistic people don't tend to be that, but their parents might be. So when these children grow up and leave the house, they are forgotten about, as if somehow adulthood cures autism or as an adult you learn to live with it. But it doesn't and you don't. You just live your life in obscurity.
I'd love to find a proper book explaining exactly how autistic people should live their life. Sounds weird, but since we don't know naturally and we like clear rules and explanations anyway, a book like that sounds obvious?

and now it's running fine again. For the last couple of weeks I had not been able to see my timeline. These statements should normally not be necessary for postgresql, but the exceptional case they describe that would need it seems to me exactly what Pleroma does: delete most objects but leave a few so index pages don't get completely empty and hang around.Sean Tilley likes this.
Proving that you can't be too old to be #AcceptedToNevermore Academy as long as you're weird enough. I'll be one year behind @wednesdayaddams, hope she will be kind to us new students.
Ah the smell of false hope on a #Wednesday...

Wednesday, the highly anticipated #JennaOrtega series about Wednesday Addams at Nevermore Academy, will premiere 23 November at #Netflix.
It is that late so other shows can cling on to the hope of being best series of the year, only for #Wednesday to shatter their dreams.
"The kids learn online at Ukrainian schools, using Russian internet and Western VPNs," Boris says. "It's quite ironic."

Jenna Ortega is at a fashion show in Paris (Maison Valentino) and I've seen her look on Instagram on the fan accounts. It's an amazing look. I'm going to have to visit the stock photo sites again this evening...
These photos are by fashion photographer Genevieve Leah (instagram.com/p/CjOBgW7LxwR/) and make up artist Naoko Scintu (instagram.com/p/CjN2hHeMuxX/).

I mean the most breathtaking woman arrives at Paris Fashion Week and she's not even one of the models:

10 items per month, for one year: €229. 25 items per month, for one year: €599. I've re-calculated this a couple of times, but the bigger subscription is more expensive even per item, right?
Anyway, that's all moot since the type of things I need/want are actually around €80 per item; or €400 for the good ones.
