@georgetakei Politics aside, imagine having so much money that you could simply do without $5 million just to sit with someone for a meal.

@georgetakei I don't need to know how much I'd have to pay to listen to him talk. I need to know how much I'd have to pay to get him to shut up.

@georgetakei They come away cursing themselves for parting with so much money, only to be bored to death, by the stupidest, boringest cretin who ever drew breath.

@georgetakei imagine the insight you’ll get from Trump as he gasses on about wind turbines and how his poop is so sticky he can’t get rid of the skidmarks in the toilet bowl whilst he doesn’t look up from his Presidential McDonald’s platter?

@georgetakei he’s lucky that it’s perfectly legal (in the USA) to bribe a sitting president.

@georgetakei nooo, it's only "bribes" if the Dems do it. If the Reps do it, it's "creative campaign funding", or so FauxNews keeps telling me..

Do you mean you can have a one on one town hall if you have enough cash?

@georgetakei Remember, in 2018, when Trump excoriated Bezos for getting a sweetheart deal from the USPS? Then Bezos dumped a buttload of cash on Trump’s inaugural ceremony? And suddenly Trump stopped criticizing Amazon? I do.

@georgetakei This makes me want to walk away from Google (I would also include Apple if I owned their hardware since Tim Cook gave $1m to his campaign) as rapidly as I can. On the desktop, I've been running Linux Mint as my daily driver for a decade and couldn't be happier with it.

@georgetakei tbh you can all come to my place and I'll happily make spaghetti for only a mere 50k a person tbh, I'll even do it for 10k if you're nice about my cooking skills

A 𑐴𑐶𑐟𑐶 (hiti) is an ancient Newah urban water feature: a stepped, sunken courtyard with waterspouts and a central pool. These are fed through a remarkable network of pipes, reservoirs, and irrigation systems drawing water from mountain springs dozens of kilometres away. Every day, hundreds of people from the neighbourhood come to draw water, bathe, and exchange news. They are a unique and precious feature of Newa urban architecture through which neighbourhoods are created.
