Maybe I'm a naif, but this is remarkable to me for a couple reasons. First, I didn't realize FTC required disclosure of any personal/financial interest in tweets or Instagram posts recommending products, events, etc. The ramifications if that rule were enforced are endless...
E.g.: imagine you tweet how much you like your new iPhone, and incidentally your 401(k) happens to include some Apple stock. Misleading advertising?
I also didn't realize how much $ influencers can make from social media. Jenner got $250,000 for a single IG post promoting the Fyre Festival. Ratajkowski got $300k -- for ONE IG POST. Wow. #TaxTheFuckingRich
The Uber-Rich: "If you tax us, we can't create JOBS! Also, we EARNED it! Why you hate work?"

Kylie Jenner: gets $275,000 for one Instagram post.

The Uber Rich: "Also waaah Death Tax!"

Bret Stephens awoke from troubled sleep to find he had been transformed into an enormous bedbug.
In case Bret Stephens ever returns to Twitter, I found him a good avatar photo:

These troubling times call for some restorative humor. But instead of telling corny jokes like the dad I am, I'm just going to share the punchlines + let you figure out the rest.

First of ?:

"Indians," her father said quietly, "don't USE saddles."

But even as Trump Jr. dismissed the potential for a conflict of interest, his father’s business partner, Indonesian billionaire and political impresario Hary Tanoesoedibjo, explicitly promoted the event as a visit from the US president’s son.
“Today, I received the arrival of the eldest son of United States President Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr. at the MNC Center, Jakarta,” Tanoesoedibjo wrote on Instagram under a video of the two men and their families socializing.

So, as you might imagine, I have quite a bit to say about @BretStephensNYT's column today which, for lack of better words, is just awful. There's a lot--A LOT--in the column that is extremely misguided, so this is going to be a rather long thread and for that I apologize.
Early in the piece, @BretStephensNYT compares himself to Justine Sacco, which is laughable for a couple reasons. First, Sacco was not a public figure. Her tweets were seen by 123 people. Stephens writes a column in the New York Times, one of America's most prestigious newspapers.
(Sacco was also lambasted for a single tweet, not a column in a major newspaper. Sacco would later tell a reporter [at Stephens' newspaper] "I had no business commenting on the epidemic in such a politically incorrect manner on a public platform,” nytimes.com/2015/02/15/mag…)

1/ 6 PREDICTIONS about what @Facebook's #cryptocurrency means. Grab the popcorn bc I analyzed publicly disclosed info to make 6 predictions, of which 2 will be controversial (#2 and #6). @ForbesCrypto #Libra #bitcoin forbes.com/sites/caitlinl…
2/ First prediction: @Facebook's #stablecoin will be a positive force in developing countries. Second: @Facebook will pay #interest to users of its #cryptocurrency, which will eventually lead to populist calls to repeal subsidies at the heart of the US banking system.
3/ It's true that #stablecoin issuers generally pocket the float on the assets backing the coins, but I go out on a limb & predict there's no way @Facebook will be able to pocket these big profits w/o sharing them with users. To be clear I haven't seen @Facebook disclose this.
