9 mo.
280 days.
hmmmm⤵️

Pep’s approach on Saturday bored a global audience to tears. Let’s look at:
Why he did it?
Why it worked?
And why we might have to get used to it?
A thread 1/

Pep sent Fernandinho and Rodri out in a double pivot. Since defeat at Spurs, when City set up in the traditional 4-3-3, Pep has deployed a double pivot for the last 6 matches. It stops the dm being isolated and subsequently the centre backs being exposed 2/

Pep set up like this in order to keep control. In the Spurs defeat and the derby defeats last season City lost control when the opposition countered. It was impossible to track runners on quick breaks with 1 dm and City were often all at sea 3/

With the addition of an extra dm, and consequently a more defensive approach, City were able to cope with United’s counters.
United didn’t create any big chances and only looked dangerous from set pieces 4/

City created 3 big chances, all of which were spurned. That was Pep’s plan in a nutshell, completely nullify United’s main threat and rely on City’s front 4 to create big chances. From that perspective it worked. Pep’s post match comments told the story 5/

1/ Mitch McConnell wants to let corporations kill you without consequence. (THREAD)

2/ Probably the most under-reported story of the year has been how Mitch McConnell is holding Americans hostage in exchange for letting big corporations kill Americans without any consequence.

3/ Mitch took you and me hostage back in May, when the House of Representatives passed the HEROES act that would have funded state and local governments and provided unemployed workers with an ongoing weekly payment.

4/ Mitch refused to even allow the Senate to discuss the HEROES Act until or unless the legislation also legalized corporations killing their workers and customers. To this day, he refuses to let it even be discussed in the Senate.

5/ We’ve seen companies fire people for refusing to take their lives in their hands, executives organize betting pools on which employees are going to die first, and companies lying openly to their workers and customers about the dangers of COVID-19.

A few paradoxes or philosophical ironies I have observed on this Bird Street:
1. Idiots have devised effective strategy to get under the skin of intelligent people:
E.g: Class A says he will unseat Tinubu in Lagos for N100m. Class B, gets riled up. Ought we not to just waka pass?

2. Second irony:
The illogical person makes illogic sound logical and incredibly many people retweet and like the illogic. The logical minded is now thrown into arguing that a clear illogic is illogic. Ought the logical minded person not to simply waka pass?

3. The third irony:
Tinubu owns Lagos. 2 businesses were burnt down (Nation and TVC). Those 2 media houses have not in the past 3-5 years done anything to support Tinubu's party, the APC-they have been largely opposition media. Who did the arsonists punish? Tinubu or Insurance?/

4. Tinubu and the ABC and the money laundering allegation: If people were rational, they would have done this:
1. Scrutinised the MEMART of the ABC company registered with CAC? Is Tinubu's name featured there?
2. Is the LASG operating an opaque contract with ABC company? /

5. The rationale mind would find that there just may be a substantive contract between the LASG & the said company. There may well be a LAW of the LASG supporting the ABC's operations in Lagos. So accusing Tinubu may not go anywhere in the face of the Law. Nut changes can happen?

It appears that 1inch's governance token is right on the horizon.

1inch is the leading Ethereum-based decentralized exchange aggregator. Since its launch, it has done $7.6 billion in volume.

Here's a thread on what we know so far. 👇

First off, some context:

1inch is a decentralized exchange aggregator that routes liquidity through a number of exchanges to find the optimal prices.

This is often useful for larger traders, who may need to spread their buys or sells across exchanges to minimize slippage.

e.g. Here is Three Arrows swapping 4,000,000 USDT for 4,001,307 TUSD via 1inch v2 around four weeks ago.

1inch does have quite a bit of traction, even though you may not hear about it sometimes.

Stats:

- $7.6b in total volume
- $272m in seven-day volume
- $36.5m in seven-day volume

h/t @DuneAnalytics for the stats

Yesterday, some sleuths spotted a contract on Ethereum pertaining to a "1inch" token.

The contract address: 0x111111111117dc0aa78b770fa6a738034120c302

Contained in the contract is this bit of ASCII art.

Well. #Bridgerton has already started off on the wrong foot with the underpinnings.

@Pady_oFurniture @TadeuszBorowski @AnnaPembroke @pritipatel @UKLabour Talk about hypocrisy!

THAT is some turning of the truth!!!

So he didn't have a visa for the *#USA*

And used someone else's real passport

Yet *#WE* prosecuted him

The point you are "rebutting" is how many illegal immigrants to *#THIS* country do "#WE" prosecute FOR THE SAME?!

@TadeuszBorowski @AnnaPembroke @pritipatel @UKLabour We don't prosecute people entering THIS country using a relatives passport "accidentally"

We don't prosecute people for ADMITTEDLY DELIBERATELY entering THIS country without the right passport to "test" the system

In fact #Channel4akeNews had a whole programme (series?) of it!

@TadeuszBorowski @AnnaPembroke @pritipatel @UKLabour Was anyone at or on the #Channel4 programme prosecuted for illegally entering the country

Attempting it

Or aiding & abetting it

And that's ON TOP of the THOUSANDS of illegal immigrants who illegally enter the country without the correct or even ANY legal travel documents

@TadeuszBorowski @AnnaPembroke @pritipatel @UKLabour Or through correct legal entry points

Illegal immigrants don't just enter country without correct or any travel documents

Many (most?) don't go through customs or passport control

And not only do they not get prosecuted for it

The "liberal" left insist it's not a crime either

@TadeuszBorowski @AnnaPembroke @pritipatel @UKLabour Similarly the "liberal" left in US insist if you enter US illegally it's not a crime

But also dispute authorities claim any illegal immigrant trying to get through immigration hasn't "entered" the USA yet & so not entitled to US constitutional rights

AIUI #TommyRobinson hadn't

Since my original account got suspended due to an idiot I won't mention the name of, I will post what I have of DeWine and you can all make up your own minds.

DeWine, Acton, Clinton, Haiti, DeWine Family Foundation stocks. Also Hands Together, linked to Haiti/DeWine. (1/11)

Since we’re talking about the King James Bible, I’ll just point out a few places where it’s clear how there’s always loss in translation. Like, if you’re only relying on the English there are things that just plain don’t make sense. But in the original? Lots clearer. 1/x Thread.

“And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.”

I mean, what??

In the Hebrew her name is Hava /חוה because she is the mother of all living/haye/חי (and you need enough Hebrew to understand what the vavs and yuds are doing here).

“And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.”

Again, this makes no sense and honestly is a bad translation, I know how they got “prince” but שרית should be “you have striven +

Or “contended” or “struggled” or “wrestled” with God /Elohim/aka the “El” suffix and the word for wrestled I didn’t transliterate, in the past tense it’s “sarita” so even if you don’t know conjugation you can already figure out how sr + el gets you close to Israel, yes?

None of this is clear in the KJV.

Or a third example.

“And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you... Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God... +

“Liberal” “Liberal Hoax.” The conservative buzzword to denounce the left. We don’t mind, we reply with liberal quotes such as JFK. However, why is it a ridiculous thing for conservatives to say? Particularly conservative Christians??? Because the word is Biblical.

The King James Version of 1611 of the Bible contains the word liberal. In the American King James Bible also contained the word liberal. But why was this word so important to Christianity and particularly America? Particularly the King James Bible?

First, the King James Bible was the break from the Catholic Church. For the Puritans, Presbyterians and Methodists who came to America, this was important and important because of the vision for America. There have been comments that “Jesus was a liberal.” But these are not just

comments. It’s Biblical. To understand this connection, you have to read and understand the Old Testament and the prophecy of Isaiah. Isaiah prophesied the coming of the Messiah. And his prophecy was what his followers saw in Jesus. This messiah would be a liberal. Isaiah 32

is the reign of righteousness. The blessings from the coming king. But this first prophecy was of Hezekiah, the time of the Assyrian invasion of Judah. What qualities would a king have? Liberal qualities. Really, the qualities were liberal??

Message Title: Gratitude in Marriage

When a man is grateful to the wife, he will get double from the wife and vice versa. Anytime you're grateful to your spouse your cup overflow.

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine

Gratitude is an appreciation for something one has done for you. (2 Samuel 9:1) Couples expect their spouse to show appreciation for things done. Whenever this isn't forthcoming, there will be a reaction from such a spouse.

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine

In a similar vein, God expects us to express gratitude to Him for all He has done for us. The story of the ten lepers portrays this fact. (Luke 17:11-19)

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine

Whenever you don't show gratitude to your spouse, you are removing something from your spouse. Many times couples focus on things that have not to be done rather than appreciating things that have been done.

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine

How do you show appreciation in marriage?

1. Never trivialize what your spouse has done; no matter how little it may seem, always appreciate their effort.

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine

i see the "they only gave us $1200" discourse has, unfortunately, returned. if everyone keeps forgetting about the superdole UI, we're never going to see it again, so please don't say that.

it's totally fine to blast senate republicans for being cheap fucks who'd rather 100,000 go hungry than 10 people pay more in taxes, but we got more than $1200, we got, for the briefest of moments, a glimpse of how we could genuinely end poverty in this country, don't ignore it.

there's a very good reason mcconnell is reportedly willing to look like he will cave on stimulus, and it's because he's taking it out of unemployment, which is a terrible trade-off, and everyone grumbling about $1200 is helping him sell it.

if you only got $1200, congratulations, you kept your job! tens of millions of people didn't, and as bad as things are right now, they'd be *significantly* worse if house and senate democrats hadn't written a genuinely visionary UI package into law.

so, definitely demand stimulus, but keep pushing for better unemployment and social stability programs, too, because if you find yourself unemployed (as i suspect many will in the year of disaster management to come), you're going to hope things look better then than now.

#JoburgUpdates Fellow South Africans, in just 4 days from now, we will be ushering in a new year. This is traditionally a time of festivity & celebrating. Unfortunately, for us here in South Africa & others around the world, there is little cause for celebration this year ^GZ

#JoburgUpdates Yesterday, we passed the mark of more than one million confirmed coronavirus cases in our country. Nearly 27,000 South Africans are known to have died from #COVID19 #FamilyMeeting ^GZ

#JoburgUpdates The number of new coronavirus infections is climbing at an unprecedented rate. More than 50,000 new cases have been reported since Christmas Eve #FamilyMeeting #Covid19 ^GZ

#JoburgUpdates The majority of new cases are emerging in KwaZulu-Natal, the Western Cape, Gauteng and the Eastern Cape. Infections are also alarmingly on the rise in Limpopo #FamilyMeeting #COVID19 ^GZ

#JoburgUpdates Infections are on the rise in part because, as humans, we are social beings and have a need to socialise with one another. We feel the need to visit friends and family, we attend religious services and we go to parties #FamilyMeeting #COVID19 ^GZ

Those long awake are weathered and weary of everything. We feel as if we've been trapped in dystopian nightmare. A split reality. We've put on our "masks" and have assimilated to the false reality over the years, whilst still holding on, hoping the illusion is about to crumble.

I've been feeling this way for over a decade myself. I never wanted to make an attempt at a normal life, because I understood it was all a lie. You try to be a good member of society, and they crush you for it. Corruption pays off well, while honesty gets you entirely destroyed.

I had almost given up hope. After watching the election of 2016, and seeing blatant corruption from the left go unnattested; I looked into what Donald Trump was actually doing. I realized, this man gave up a luxurious, easy life. He gave it all up for us. All to save humanity.

He knew of the shadow they cast on the entirety of society. He saw how they kept us in the dark, whilst bleeding us dry. Not just America; the whole of the World was under their reign, and a large portion of the populace had fallen for the illusion they perpetuated repeatedly.

I realized for once, we have someone in Office willing to fight with every fibre of his being, with the entirety of his soul, to shine a light in a society that has been clouded by darkness. We who had been awake and masked, were finally given a voice. He guided us the whole way.
