Equalities Minister \u2066@trussliz\u2069 says the government has been too focused on \u201cfashionable\u201d race, gender and sexuality issues and will now pivot towards focusing on poverty and levelling up. https://t.co/UOrxSapG7Z

So really simple questions
And there are so so many
Why are concerns over race, gender and sexuality put into air quotes e.g. "fashionable"?
Is "fashionable" meant as a derogatory?
Who are you selling this shite to when you write it this way?
When did the government become "too focused" on race, gender and sexuality issues?
Define "too focused" ?
Will now "pivot" - what you mean from today 17th December 2020?
Why could you not focus on "poverty and levelling up" at the same time as equality issues since some of these issues go hand in in hand after all?
Who and what are you "levelling up" from?

Search RATS in the drops. Several hits. Here’s one:
Phase III
Traitors Justice.
What’s PHASE III?
one of 8 moon phases each month. Phase III for Dec 2020 appears to be Dec 21, winter solstice.
Phase III shows Dark to Light. Look at it! Half Dark half Light looking straight on.
for Dec 2020 it also falls on Winter Solstice 12/21. Another Dark to Light Day. Shortest day of the Year with least amount of daylight.

2/ 12/21 winter solstice is a DARK to LIGHT day. The shortest day of the year, when days start getting longer, with more minutes of sunlight. Also? In 2020 that day we will see a CHRISTMAS \u2b50\ufe0f , first time in 800 years! https://t.co/kcTV6dgs9d

Two hundred years ago, a purported opening of the heavens in upstate New York launched one of the most peculiar and enduring religious movements in American history\u2014one that I belong to.

On faith, identity, and what the Mormon story says about America: https://t.co/u9LSR7JSTO
2/ At my first job at Electronic Arts, I was told that a senior game developer wouldn't work with me b/c I wouldn't drink with his team. I was once offered to work on the Dante's Inferno videogame because of my "connection to spiritual things." I nervously laughed and passed.
3/ One colleague came to my desk every week asking about how my wives were doing. Then one day he approached somberly and said his father was very sick and implored me to pray for him b/c "God is more likely to listen to you than me." I replied that wasn't true, but I would.
4/ As a Mormon entrepreneur I am so grateful for @claychristensen who is idolized by most in Silicon Valley. He always had the perfect things to say about business, secular, and religious issues. He was one of the best humans I've ever met. RIP.
5/ Having 4 children gets a look that screams, "What is wrong with you??" To Bay Area people 4 children implies that you are surely a religious zealot b/c you wanted a "big" family. Having a startup+family at the same time has typically meant more unfundable than fundable.

In a document found on Wikileaks:
“Smartmatic was founded in the late 90s by 3 Venezuelans, Antonio Mugica, Alberto Anzola, and Roger Pinate.
The electronic voting company went from a small technology startup to a market player in just a few
“Mugica has told Poloffs on several occasions that Anzola, Pinate, and he are the owners of Smartmatic, though they have a list of about 30 investors who remain anonymous.”
“Prior to 2004, SMARTMATIC had 0 election experience and otherwise was a fledgling business.
Reportedly critical to the SBC consortium’s award of the $91 mil 2004 recall election contract from the Chávez dominated CNE was a $150,000 + investment by the Venezuelan government”

It's time for 2 hours of Putin's squirrely bullshit.
#LIVE Russian President Putin holds an annual press conference https://t.co/Ical3R9Av1

Putin spent the last 5 minutes reaffirming that Coronavirus happened, it's a thing, everybody dealt with it, and when you think about it, it really hasn't been that bad!
Like any good bureaucrat (and make no mistake, Putin is a great bureaucrat) he is filibustering with facts that sound good, while not addressing the bad facts (but waving to the the fact that other fact may exist, but you are really focusing on the wrong thing).
Being in a relationship with this man must be a complete, uninterrupted mindf---
Putin projects mastery of the facts while also delivering it in a boring way so you tune out and say "He seems like he has it." And he does it for everything from agriculture markets to fomenting frozen conflicts -- making it seem like just another boring thing.
