.@melindagates is the most important person in my life: an amazing partner, wife, mother, and friend (and now accomplished author!). Her new book is a terrific read that will leave you feeling enlightened and inspired: b-gat.es/2G0gtzp
“The Moment of Lift” is a wise, honest, and beautifully written book about how empowering women lifts up everyone.
She shares her personal journey from private citizen to public advocate -- including how she pushed our foundation to focus more on women’s empowerment.
It also includes insights about our marriage, the path we took to become equals in our work, and how she has helped me grow as a father and husband.
I’ve recommended a lot of books over the years, but The #MomentofLift is particularly special to me… b-gat.es/2Usaa1A

@ewarren You and the other candidates are having a really interesting conversation on how to solve some of the world’s toughest problems like eliminating global poverty and avoiding a climate disaster (though those issues don’t get talked about as much as they should).
@ewarren I greatly respect your commitment to finding ways to address wealth inequality and poverty at home. While we may disagree about some of the ways to get there, we certainly agree we need a lot of smart people committed to finding the path forward.
@ewarren I’m always willing to talk about creative solutions to these problems.

.@FredSwaniker has an ambitious plan to unlock the talents of young Africans. I was thrilled to see him featured in the latest issue of #TIME100. b-gat.es/2Ja9R4x
By the end of the century, almost half of the young people in the world will be in sub-Saharan Africa.
A few months ago, Fred contributed a piece to my blog which outlined why educating the next generation of African leaders will be so important. b-gat.es/2DJ7u5e

taekook au;

where hard working jungkook has always been too busy to meet people or date, so he hires escort, taehyung, to take to a destination family wedding as his plus one to avoid questions; jungkook finds himself falling for the other, but taehyung doesn’t believe in love
info:

-this is based off one of my favorite rom-coms, “the wedding date” (10/10 highly recommend)

-will have slight angst, but mostly fluff 💞 and with a happy ending

-pls be sure to interact!

-enjoy!

taekook au ; shy boy jeongguk often gets picked up from school by his older brother’s friend taehyung, who’s been dubbed the ‘hot college guy’. no one’s actually seen jk and ‘hot college guy’ together until jk texts him that he feels sick before falling asleep in english class.↓
“Hey sorry to interrupt, I’m just here for Jeongguk. I signed him out.”

multiple pairs of eyes watch him walk over to the boy in the back with his head down and hood up, and taehyung lightly shakes him awake.

“Gguk? Baby? let’s go home, okay?”

Do you believe in 📈 progress? Here's why you're wrong.

(A thread)
1/ The world is more materially abundant than ever, we’ve eliminated several diseases, lifted millions out of poverty.

Yet, people aren’t reporting higher levels of meaning or happiness than before.
2/ Why is this happening? Rising income or material abundance does not automatically lead to a higher satisfaction.

And not just at a global level, but also at a personal level. Why?

What do you want?

LIFE HAPPENS | “Sho, do you cook?”, my date asked. I replied jauntily, “I used to but not anymore. I now have access to a chef and can afford to order what I like eating.” #Thread #Life #Relationships
My date followed up by asking, “If your boyfriend asked you to cook for him, would you?” I grinned, as I realised my date was sadly playing from a script. I replied, “I don’t have a guy I like who’s asking me to cook, so I can’t say.”
I think my date thought I was being coy. But, I wasn’t. I was just being honest. A while ago, I decided to deal in reality and not hypotheticals. I have tried and failed to control life. All my effort got me was an anxiety problem and therapy.

1/ I finished @nntaleb's new #book Skin in the game, and here are my learnings, insights and notes.

Warning: this thread is going to be huge.
2/ Human systems are systems within systems, interacting in complex ways. No article / paper / logic can capture all interactions of such systems and their evolution over a non-trivial amount of time.

So fear one shot, large scale interventions (such as invasions, UBI, CRISPR)
3/ People with fuck you money should call out famous or powerful people when they are wrong
