@depthsofwiki adding a community note to this tweet because I did, in fact, successfully guess whose article this is from. also, @noahveltman made a whole quiz where you try to guess the famous individual based on their wiki table of contents

I'm outside SBF's courtroom where Caroline Ellison just entered. When asked to identify SBF, she stood up and took around 30+ seconds to scan the room before spotting him. Everyone in the overflow room I was with was laughing in disbelief. Is it the haircut? The suit?.

@hun____ter funny, yes, but ultimately the guinness world records is a profit-seeking enterprise so you'd just end up making them more money. which is covered, among many many other things, in this excellent video essay

@chismosavirus Nah fast fashion is about chasing the latest styles while Uniqlo is about basics.
There are a lot of cheap brands that are not fast fashion. Hanes, Dickies, Carhartt, Camber, Lands' End, Vans, Wrangler, Lee, and Clarks are not about bringing the hottest trends off the runway to the store ASAP. I would include The Gap, Old Navy, and Uniqlo in that.

It's official: @jdcmedlock is much richer than he used to be, and he owes it all to a shitpost. (He could be even richer, but he gave half his winnings to charity). ICYMI: Here's the story of how that all went down!.

the near omnipotence of tiktok's algorithm makes it so clear to me that every dating app could pair you with your true love within a few swipes but chooses not to because then there would be no business model to make you sign up for LonelyPLUS or serve you a million ads.

@bendreyfuss I know you're not looking for an actual answer but the movie does genuinely address all of these points if you pay attention:. My best interpretation based on the text of the movie (which I saw last night in IMAX) is that a new form of blight emerges that 1. thrives on earth.

@BirdRespecter she's an example of how tiktok is a super insular ecosystem (mostly bc content that works there doesn't really work on any other platform) if you're on tiktok, you absolutely know who she is. if you're not, you most likely don't.

@WallySierk @RaxKingIsDead If only the writers were interested in populating the world with complex characters and political intrigue rather than making the Good Starks vs Bad Guys show. that Arya/Sansa/Littlefinger Winterfell arc was atrocious.

New from me: . 2023's biggest crypto hack (so far) was also its strangest: who steals $200 million, just to give it back three weeks later? Why had the hacker sent money both to a victim of the attack and to North Korean hackers?. I found some answers — from the hacker himself.
BREAKING: The man who stole $200 million from Euler Finance in 2023's biggest crypto hack, only to return it all, is telling his side of the story for the first time:.

I'm seeing this screenshot get spread around a lot — important to note that in court, Caroline said that SBF estimated he had a "5% chance" of becoming President one day. This screenshot makes it sounds like SBF said it was a certainty.
🚨JUST IN: Live tweets of Ellison's testimony reveal that @SBF_FTX had plans of becoming the President of the United States.

Ellison's questioning will resume at 2. My big questions: .What did Caroline know about fiat@ and when? .What did Caroline do when SBF directed her to hedge?.Did Caroline know about the "Korean friend"? . Check out my latest trial coverage at @TheBlock__.

Lunchtime at SBF's trial! . What struck me today are some of the terms the jury is hearing without getting definitions: "algorithmic stablecoin," "defi," and "dex." Are they lost?. The jury definitely understood when Caroline and Gary said "I committed crimes with Sam," though.
