Very cool that Shopify’s CEO thinks the poor should have far less of a vote than the rich. Still worth that ad read money, folks?
Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke says “good system.” In response to the following proposal: 

“Interesting... what about weighted voting proportional to the level of income tax you pay? (no income tax paid - O vote, $1-100k - 1 vote, $100-200k 2 votes and so on... cap it at 5 votes for $500k+. For those that constantly complain about the wealthy not paying tax/fair share they'd have nothing to worry about right? Why not reward representation of taxation and build a democracy around those that foot the bill?”

I must qualify this statement in the interests of accuracy:

Not even apartheid South Africa codified executions for only one 'race group'. Israel is now the most racist state the world has known since Nazi Germany.

As the son of a Holocaust survivor who lost dozens of her family, I say this cautiously and with extreme pain.

But it is now a fact!

That's not a question.
4 frame comic. a street journalist, off frame, asks someone with long hair exiting the subway : miss! do you think
it's fair for biological
female athletes to be
forced to compete with
transgenders?
she replies :
that's not a question. every
year, new studies show that
trans women have no inherent
athletic advantages over cis
women. science and research
have settled this already.*
*a meta-study published this month in the
british journal of sports medicine reviewed 52
studies with 5252 trans athlete participants.
https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/60/3/198
what's unfair is how female
athletes, cis or trans, must
endure constant, unrestrained
sexual misconduct throughout
their formative years to simply
get a shot at competing
at an elite level.
just last month, a report*
showed that 88% of surveyed
u.k. elite athletes of the int'l
women's sports collective
reported sexual misconduct,
and 40% reported sexual abuse.
93% of the time, perpetrators
were cis men.

On one side, you have trans people asking to be left alone and maintain our access to health care. On the other, a bunch of people who believe we shouldn't exist. But Cass believes both sides are the same. This whole interview is atrocious. www.bbc.com/news/article...
Screenshot of a BBC News article on a mobile webpage. The text says the vast majority of people in the middle of the debate were silent, while “people at the extremes” and media rhetoric had been “frightening for young people,” according to a clinician. It adds that some trans rights activists had been “so strident” it made life more difficult for trans people trying to “live under the radar,” and that people who believed no one should ever transition had “similarly made it difficult.” The BBC logo and menu icons appear at the top.

'Hero' who wrestled gun from Bondi shooter named as Ahmed al Ahmed

A "hero" bystander who was filmed wrestling a gun from one of the Bondi Beach attackers has been named as 43-year-old Ahmed al Ahmed.

Video verified by the BBC showed Mr Ahmed run at the gunman and seize his weapon, before turning the gun round on him, forcing his retreat.

Mr Ahmed, a fruit shop owner and father of two, remains in hospital, where he has undergone surgery for bullet wounds to his arm and hand, his family told 7News Australia.

4. I was hired by and paid directly
Epstein
by Mr.

to attract
adolescent
women to attend these parties,
most of which
were held at what is known as the Wener
Mansion
located at 9 E. 71st St. in New York City.
5. In June, 1994 while performing my duties as a recruiter of adolescent women to attend Mr.
Epstein's
parties,
I met a
adolescent woman,
13-year-old
at the
Port
the Plaintiff in this matter,
Authority
in New York City who said that she
had come to New York City in the hope of starting modeling career.
6. I persuaded the Plaintiff to attend a series of parties of Mr. Epstein that took place during the summer of
1994. I told her that, if she would
join me
at the parties, she would be introduced
to people who could
get her into the modeling profession
and she
7.
would be paid for attending.
It was at these
series of parties that I
personally witnessed the Plaintiff being forced to perform various
sexual acts with Donald J.
Trump and
Mr. Epstein. Both Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein were
advised that she was 13 years old.
8. I personally witnessed four sexual encounters that the Plaintiff was forced to have with
Mr.
Trump during this period,
including
of these
encounters where Mr. Trump
the fourth forcibly
raped
her
despite her pleas to stop.
