with respect, "Imposter" is STILL the wrong spelling."Both impostor and imposter mean a person who deceives others by pretending to be someone else, but impostor is the more traditional spelling. 'Imposter' is a common alternative spelling that has been used for centuries and is widely accepted."
The reason this happened in a nutshell is The Internet. We got a blend. And that's OK. Language can evolve. It should evolve.
BUT IT'S FUCKING "IMPOSTOR" FOR THE RECORD. And yes, I will die on this hill because who wants to live forever, anyway, unless you're Peter Theil.. and and you see where that goes. Blood boys.

The world is a lot right now.and if you want to know who I learned this from, it was everyone I met on the Sojourn Project immersive multi-state civil rights classrom immersion program along with my son Henry. They had every reason to hate based on the horrific things that we -- WE -- did to them. But there was no hate in them. I was like "how is this even possible".. but they showed me it was. If you can support Sojurn, please, I beg you, you absolutely should. If you want new AOCs, younger Bernies, more Mamdanis.. THIS is how we create them: https://www.sojournproject.org

The world is a lot right now.The world is a lot right now. But we all gotta fight for love. Because the path of hate is so simple, so easy, so seductive.. black vs. white.. us vs. them.. you're either on our team, or you are our sworn enemy.. whereas the path of love is far, far more complicated and difficult.
But love is the only survivable path.
Hating someone is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. It’s only a matter of time before that hatred eats you -- and everyone else around you -- from within.
Choose love. Come with us if you want to truly live. 💛

https://blog.codinghorror.com/what-is-trolling/I really struggle with this question, myself, even though I know the answer by heart: "Did you join this discussion to learn? To listen? To understand other perspectives? Or are you here to berate us and recite your talking points over and over? Are you more interested in fighting over who is right than actually communicating?"

Citizens United, or as I like to call it, "the worst SCOTUS decision since slavery".Citizens United, or as I like to call it, "the worst SCOTUS decision since slavery". Infinite money in politics turns out to be a massive self-own on democracy. Lawrence Lessig, you are an incredible person doing amazing work, and I love you, man.. but .. I don't know how we can realistically dig ourselves out of this pit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_United_v._FEC

"... the reality is stark.The math of concentrated, exponential growth is brutal and merciless. More begets more, but only for a tiny few.

"... the reality is stark."... the reality is stark. According to the 2024 Knight Frank Wealth Report, there are about 225,000 individuals in the U.S. with net assets of $30 million or more, just 0.07% of the population. Far from expanding opportunity, this excessive wealth locks millions out of the chance to innovate and build, weakening growth for all." https://time.com/7325632/universal-basic-income-millionaire/

I can be very charming, the Atwood Love Assault is quite a thing to experience.TL;DR we need a LOT more therapy for a LOT more people. Also, better, less abusive parenting for all children, everywhere. There ya go. That's my most charitable, positive interpretation possible of this statement.
