I can’t believe I’m about to link to this but it’s just too good to not share tuttletwins.com
See if you can guess what the monster is in this subtle children’s book (The government. It’s the government.)
But you definitely don’t want to miss “The Road to Surfdom” in which your preschool-aged children will be thrilled to learn about the dangers of central planning

A lot of talk about Lambda School today, and most of it I'll ignore.

One I'm going to respond to - that Lambda School is "creaming" - removing the best students from other schools and locking them into ISAs.

This is a tweetstorm full of student stories, so buckle up.
J is a single father, high school dropout with two kids (1.6 GPA), had been working in a warehouse for four years. We noticed in our intro courses he was doing well at programming, and decided to invest.

He attended Lambda, now makes software for warehouses, making $80k+/yr
S had to drop out of school when she couldn't afford the payments on her archaeology degree. She was living in a car when she applied to Lambda School.

She was also hired at an $80k rate.

There are more than 10x the students starting Lambda School today as 18 months ago.

NPS is higher across the board, student skill is higher across the board, and it goes off without a hitch.

Hats off to the Lambda growth, admissions and student success teams.
NPS schoolwide for Lambda School is in the high 60s. We're working on getting it to the mid/high 70s right now.

Have always been curious about this.

DM me one thing that you would never dare tweet but believe to be true, and I’ll reply to this thread with the messages but without identifying who they’re from (and I promise to always keep it a secret)
First I need to make it crystal clear that I do not endorse any of these opinions in any way whatsoever
“Not everyone should be parents. Better to have (mental) test of some sort to determine if one is suitable to be parents.”

1/ OMG, the end of good times. No more left to do. Where’s the innovation. Shocking news from Apple on revenue, but needs some context.

Maturing or mature markets are not dead markets. The world did not change overnight even with this announcement.

This isn’t this is fine. This is fine but with a circle/slash around it.
2/ Smartphones are the first product that penetrated nearly the entire world from essentially two vendors (“google” and Apple). That itself is shocking.

It means dynamics at play are new to everyone. Predictions about future are tricky when one runs out of untapped customers.
3/ As many like @benedictevans and @asymco shown the growth in iPhone units has been slowing (to shrinking by some measures). That led to stopping the reporting of units from Apple “certainly a sign” as many noted.

#Pain is a #blessing in disguise!

Just look back at your life. When you were happy about something, did you ever wonder about the meaning of life? Did you look inwards to see who you are, what life is all about? Did you feel the need to deeply know about the ultimate Truth? No!
When things go smoothly you just blindly follow the same routine with barely any awareness or consciousness. There is nothing to jolt you into awareness from your routine so you continue without any awareness. But when #pain happens, it makes you look at life objectively.
It forces you to look deeper into life, to learn why you react the way you react and seek to uncover the real #mystery of life. #Pain is the key that can open the door to the world of #reality; the choice is yours to open the door or not.

just wrote a rebuttal to that horribly misinformed @PsychToday piece from last week: "Mass Psychogenic Illness: The Latest Make-Believe Cause of #Transgender Identity" – it's on Medium, so please give it lots of "claps" so that others see it!
medium.com/@juliaserano/m… #psychology
...also, the piece is not monetized, as I wanted it to be as accessible as possible. if you appreciate that I make essays like this for free, please consider supporting me on Patreon! patreon.com/juliaserano/ov…
re: two misconceptions about my new essay: 1) I did not address certain claims made in the @PsychToday article (re: "peer clusters", social media influence, etc.) b/c I already addressed these in depth in my #ROGD essay: medium.com/@juliaserano/e… #transgender #psychology #LGBTQ

Good one, will share my thoughts based on 15 plus years in RE business:
@TraderEQFX @Wealth_Park @valueshadow @rohitchauhan
1) RE is not dead (as some think), it will continue to be there in future in one form or another. Yes, developers will consolidate, business model will change/evolve.
2) Masses are not "value investors". ppl still want to own homes and invest in something where they can touch/feel. Masses are still not comfortable putting big chunk in equity markets regardless of RE returns.

Good Humor ice cream. This is clearly a pedo symbol aimed toward children. Unilever is the parent company for Good Humor. In the Unilever logo is another pedo symbol "the swirl". I have been chasing this swirl down for months now. I now have clear proof of what it is.

Good morning, babies. It's taken me a couple of days to locate a transcript of Trump's Pensacola campaign speech. In a few minutes I'm going to begin a dive into it.
Reminder (or alert, for new followers) that what I do isn't fact-checking. I'll sometimes highlight falsehoods, but that's not my main skill set. I recommend leaving that to professionals. politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
What I do is analyze Trump's speeches and interviews the way I might analyze a story, or any other bit of communication. Language and character are my specialties.
