Do not mistake social status for success.
Do not “fake it till you make it.”
This is what wrecks most people when they start working for themselves.
I’m giving this advice because no one gave it to me. Before you start working for yourself, ask these questions:
These questions should be top of mind before you start.
"While many initially suspected the shooter would be a Bernie Sanders-style leftist, Mangione’s social media feeds reveal an Ivy League...tech bro who disavows 'wokeism' & venerates Elon Musk; a former fraternity member equally as dedicated to AI as he is to psychedelics & self-improvement.
And so began the quest to label Mangione, to pin him down. Is he a tech accelerationist? A Dimes Square neo-trad fascist? A dirtbag anarchist?"
One subgroup comes out on top:

Today, I’m celebrating the fact that an idea of mine actually works, makes me a living, and—more importantly—sets me up for a thriving future.

I just sent President Biden a plea to release #LeonardPeltier . I urge you all to do the same (or sign a petition -- there are a number of them floating around). It's the least I could do for Leonard. He has suffered long enough!

Le nouveau film de Pierre Carles, Guérilla des FARC — L’avenir à une histoire sort enfin en salles en sortie nationale à partir de ce mercredi 11 décembre, après dix ans de tournages !

Il faut vous précipiter pour aller le voir au cinéma, car « ce n’est pas une sortie comme #MonteCristo » comme dit #PierreCarles
