The tech industry got right behind last year’s hypegrift, many producers selling their entire annual output to the griftbros, leaving the ordinary public scrambling to obtain resources. The vendors didn’t bother increasing capacity, because they—like everyone—understood that a crash was imminent. If only they had thought it through; after the crash consumers satisfied their needs at fire-sales, receivers auctions and sometimes literal pitchfork-riots—abandoning retail channels. The vendors asphyxiated in a marketplace with huge supply and no demand. But of course you know all that. We grow mushrooms in these old server racks; if you choose to stay in our village you’ll spend a day each week tending the vertical gardens, while you apprentice with one of our artisans learning other useful skills. You already know how to code? Sorry, we don’t allow computers.

Thanks to @fabio’s excellent work, you can now see, in one place, a list of all our #GazaVerified families, in order of the donation amounts they’ve received to their fundraisers in the past week:

https://archive.gaza.onl/campaigns/accounts

This should help you decide who to donate to and, hopefully, over time, lead to your donations being spread more evenly across all of them.

It will hopefully also mean that individual families won’t have to try to be heard and compete for attention.

Please share this link on a regular basis, if you can.

Thank you!

What I keep coming back to is the fact that the people for whom Epstien's crimes have become a point of fracture with Trump are simply not people who care at all about crimes like rape.

I say that because it's the same group of people who always second guess victims, who don't think "date rape" is real rape, who might say they want to "protect girls" but don't care if the girl is a teen as they decide she's "fast."

I guess if they imagine a "perfect victim" they do care?

It’s still wild that this is being debated at the Supreme Court when we identified all of them in 2021. The IDs were accurate, and we fully explained how they were ID’d.
