Good morning! The cumulative wealth of the world’s billionaires has nearly quadrupled since 2013, from $5.4 trillion to $20.1 trillion, according to a Wikipedia chart made with data from Forbes. In 2000 their cumulative wealth was $1 trillion, as the chart in the link preview shows.

TIL a wooden scabbard, such as from your spouse’s katana, makes an excellent tool for performing a psoas release on yourself when all the muscles in your hip are in spasm. If your spouse doesn’t have a katana, you can use your own. If neither of you has one, are you even a nerd?

Idk how I initially missed this now 4-month-old video by @caelan.bsky.social but I’m so glad I watched it because I have intrusive thoughts about hurting myself or other people and while I don’t know if they’re bad enough to be called OCD, they’ve always freaked me out and made me wonder +

like that's part of why people love the Tom Holland umbrella dance so much he put his entire ass into that BUT he's also having so much fun and there's a wink and a nod both Dolly and Curry knew how to laugh at themselves with the audience while never belittling themselves and that's incredible

I think another lesson to take from the loss of both Dolly and Tim Curry is that neither of them took themselves seriously but they took the work dead serious that's the most important thing pour all of yourself into the craft but have fun and don't get an ego.

If there are any reporters willing to try to correct the record rather than just breathlessly reporting on the disinformation being spread by the propaganda machine - I would be happy to share and I know many others with PTSD from our time on the front lines of COVID who would share as well.

Don't fall for this. Rowling wants trans people to self censor and to stop sharing the report. If this report really was as defamatory as she claims, she wouldn't be cheering on its spread. What she really wants is a costly settlement from AI UK, humiliating apology, and permanent silence.

A screenshot of a thread on X (formerly Twitter). The main post is a quote tweet by J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling), which reads:
"Shout out to all trans activists sharing the blacklist of women's and gay rights organisations published by @AmnestyUK! You're demonstrating very effectively that in spite of their hasty backtrack it can be easily accessed forevermore, increasing legal liability. Thank you! ❤️"
Rowling is quote-tweeting a user named Lesbian Lenin 🇵🇸 🔻 🇵🇸 (@xstaffsuck), whose post reads:
"The report btw, documenting how TERF orgs work hand in hand w/ anti-abortionists, christian nationalists, & anti-LGBT+ (yes, you too, c*s queers!) orgs to push trans genocide
To be anti-trans is to be anti-abortion, is to be a christian nazi, is to be anti-queer
Report is below"
The user @xstaffsuck is, in turn, quoting an earlier tweet from J.K. Rowling, which reads:
"Should any of the women's organisations targeted by @AmnestyUK's recent 'anti-rights' blacklist wish to take legal action, applications can be made to the JK Rowling Women's Fund. jkrwf.org"
