Translation: "The lie we told that inflated our customer county by 900% was industry standard."

"None of our partners will validate our tree-planting promises, but trust us."

We are a finance company that can't count our key outputs within a margin of error of > 33%.

Our dirty investments aren't dirtier than other ESG dirty investments:

Other companies paper over their losses through the nonstandard EBITDAM measure, so we're OK, even though this converted a $150M loss to a $500K profit.

Harvard is a very, very selective school. Only 3.43% of applicants get in. But that's not the whole story. Writing in @theguardian, Tayo Bero says that 43% of the white student body was admitted on criteria other than merit.

Those 43% are ALDCs: athletes, legacies, dean's interest list (children of major donors) or children (of Harvard faculty). Three quarters of ALDCs do not have the grades to be admitted to Harvard on their own merit. 3/

This was true irrespective of whether there was mass pressure from citizen groups. In the USA, politicians make sure that richest ten percent get whatever they want and do nothing for the rest of us. 3/

It's obviously grotesque to pick a "worst thing" about the #Astroworld catastrophe that killed ten people (including a young child), but it's pretty easy to pick a "most enraging thing" about the disaster - how foreseeable and preventable it was. 1/ A screw press that has crushed a Live Nation logo.

The kind of crowd-crush that killed and maimed those Astroworld attendees happens all the time. There was another stampede *at the Astrodome, two weeks previous*, at a Playboi Carti show.
