Qasim Rashid, Esq.Forbes is really bad at this.
Andy Beaton✅@QasimRashid They should just arrest anyone who shows up on the cover.

RealGravitas -Citizen Saboteur@QasimRashid Is that Holmes giving the White Power symbol? Deliberately?
Pippi & ObiJuan Pups@CWilbur @QasimRashid naw, she is holding her magic lie
Biggus Mickus 
@CWilbur @QasimRashid no, she's holding one of her "revolutionary!", fake blood testing gadgets.
Steadynow@Steadynow @biggusmickus @QasimRashid 🤷 Who knows? It's a weird pose and very deliberate, but folks are saying it wasn't utilized by W. Nationalists at the time. I'm not sure.
arkywarky@CWilbur @QasimRashid I think she's holding smth
@arcade @QasimRashid The art is cool. What's that from?
@CWilbur @QasimRashid what art? /Gen
@arcade @QasimRashid Yer avatar. The twirky masked manga kat-person. I don’t know what it’s from if anything. My daughter would probably recognize it as she is very into the genre.
@CWilbur @QasimRashid o! It's ai-generated :3 prompt was smth like "black and white sketchy drawing of a catboy with a mask"

jsled@CWilbur @QasimRashid she's holding a small vial of blood. It's not related to the crypto-fascist "ok", no.
ACAB for Cutie 
@CWilbur
She's holding one of her "nano-tainers" that were supposed to hold blood samples.

@QasimRashid
Mark Halvorson@CWilbur @QasimRashid nah, that came way later.
Ashton@CWilbur @QasimRashid no. She’s holding the “nanotainer”, the very small vial of blood that her machine was supposed to run tests on.
“Supposed to”, because you know, fraud.
Andrew@CWilbur @QasimRashid that gesture didn’t get co-opted by the fash until years after that cover was published
Guy Montag@CWilbur @QasimRashid the SPLC traces the use of the OK gesture as a white power signifier to 2015 (https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2018/09/18/ok-sign-white-power-symbol-or-just-right-wing-troll) . The article is from 2014.
Michael Gemar@QasimRashid It’s astounding to me how many people in finance and the financial media are objectively terrible at their jobs, and more astounding that they nonetheless keep them.
Owen Pike@QasimRashid the post so nice I liked it twice ❤️
Michael Craig@QasimRashid Time magazine person of the year is a close second 😳😜.
Bushido Squirrel@QasimRashid in all fairness every corporate boardroom is a crime scene
Falcon Darkstar@QasimRashid from the Wikipedia anti-spam trenches: they are doing exactly as they are paid to do.

Russ Burlingame@QasimRashid They value what the wealthy value, that’s all.
Steve@QasimRashid The elite class clearly believes that all awkward dorks are trustworthy geniuses.
Steve Williams
Jeff ♨️ Darcy@QasimRashid Depends what "this" is. Actual innovation and entrepreneurial talent? Yeah, they're bad. Ability to put a younger face on the rentier-industrial complex that pays Forbes's bills? Spot on.
Matthew@QasimRashid I can’t wait to watch the series they make though, the Theranos one was really good.
JimboFett@QasimRashid Now do Elon.
Tom von Clef
Steve Popovich@QasimRashid it's almost like making boatloads of money requires criminal activity...
Denial 🐔 Shown@QasimRashid who else has made the cover we should be on the lookout for?
That Guy Angelo@QasimRashid I don’t know. Those are pretty good wanted posters.
José Gustavo Martins@QasimRashid what a waste of time
Jonathan Grunau@QasimRashid having seen Steve Forbes before I am not surprised in the least
Condalmo.@QasimRashid Come on now; only 2/800 is pretty good! /s
Ulrike@QasimRashid
They're really *good* at "this". It's just that THIS isn't want they're trying to do. ;-)

JJ@QasimRashid Forbes is a terrible publication that only serves to creative narratives and further agendas.
Grumble@QasimRashid
It's all about their goals. AFAIK, Forbes' goal is to sell advertising.

Scott MatterJust a consequence of being a “business” publication in a hyper-capitalist culture
Brun0_3dgar@scottmatter , you misspelled "Hyper speculation" culture :)
@Brun0_3dgar @QasimRashid sorry, I don’t see the difference?
@scottmatter, Fair enough :)
chuls@scottmatter @QasimRashid This! It feels like it's a perfect description on how we've been building our society.
Ondřej Pokorný@scottmatter Forbes' whole raison d'être is to adore that greed culture and worship its most "successful" proponents. @QasimRashid
tomes_is_cool@QasimRashid
One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.

@QasimRashid You’re not kidding about that
Lizard@QasimRashid I dunno, those are way better looking than MOST mug shots!
