WTAF? No takebacks!
The #Trump admin is tacking back awards that the #Biden admin had given to projects in 6 states through the #TechHubs Program, the Commerce Secy #HowardLutnick. Lutnick said that the previous admin had used a “rushed, opaque & unfair” process to select recipients & that there would be a new competition for the #funding.
Is it just me…
Or has anyone else noticed that people with Narcissistic personality disorder tend to identify as Buddhists if and when pressed about the spiritual aspects of their lives.
It’s a pattern i’ve noticed with NPDs of European Extraction.
I have met sincere Buddhists of that genetic and cultural background.
NPDs usually have claimed Zen or Tibetan flavored Buddhist leanings.
Back in the day there was this Japanese Buddhist sect that bordered on the Culty called the NSA.

The image shows a screenshot of a Google search results page on a mobile device. The time displayed at the top is 3:02, and the battery level is at 32%. The search query is "nsa buddhism," and the first result is titled "AI Overview." The result text explains that "NSA Buddhism" is a historical reference primarily associated with the Soka Gakkai (SG) and Soka Gakkai International (SGI) movements. It mentions that the Soka Gakkai was originally known as the Nichiren Shoshu of America (NSA) and was later replaced by SGI-USA to reflect the organization's international expansion and relationship with the SGI. The text also provides an elaboration on Nichiren Buddhism, describing it as a branch of Mahayana Buddhism based on the teachings of the 13th-century Japanese Buddhist priest, Nichiren. It is characterized by the veneration of the Gohonzon, chanting "Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo," and the study of Nichiren's writings. The Soka Gakkai (SG) and Soka Gakkai International (SGI) are described as lay movements that promote Nichiren Buddhism. The search bar at the top shows the Google logo, and the URL "google.com" is visible at the bottom of the screen.

Das Bild zeigt eine surreale Szene, in der ein Mann in einem Anzug auf einer steinernen Treppe hinaufsteigt. Die Treppe führt zu einem zerklüfteten, urbane Landschaft, die von einem riesigen, orangefarbenen Sonnenball beleuchtet wird. Die Gebäude sind aus Stein und Beton und erinnern an eine Metropole, die von einer Katastrophe betroffen ist. Der Himmel ist dramatisch mit Wolken und Farben von Orange und Gelb, was eine apokalyptische Atmosphäre schafft. Der Mann streckt seine Arme aus, als ob er die Szene betrachtet oder die Situation kontrolliert. Die Farben sind stark und kontrastreich, mit einem Fokus auf Orange, Gelb und Grau.

Das Bild zeigt eine surreale Szene in einer Stadt, die von einer riesigen Uhr dominiert wird. Die Uhr hat einen goldenen Rand und ein blaues Zifferblatt mit römischen Ziffern. Um die große Uhr herum sind zahlreiche kleinere Uhren in verschiedenen Größen und Farben angeordnet, darunter Weiß, Blau und Gelb. Die Uhren sind in einer dynamischen, fast fließenden Formation angeordnet, die Farben und Formen erinnern an eine Malerei. Die Szene ist von einer lebendigen, farbenfrohen Stadt umgeben, mit hohen Gebäuden in Gelb, Blau und Braun. Der Himmel ist blau mit weißen Wolken, und es gibt lebendige Farbspritzer, die die Szene noch surrealer erscheinen lassen. Die Uhr und die umgebenden Elemente scheinen in Bewegung zu sein, was eine unruhige und künstlerische Atmosphäre erzeugt.

Das Bild zeigt eine dynamische Szene in einer Stadt, in der mehrere Männer in Anzügen jubeln und feiern. Der zentrale Mann, in einem blauen Anzug mit roter Krawatte, steht auf einem Haufen Geld und Steinen und hebt triumphierend einen Finger in die Luft. Er ist umgeben von Geldscheinen, die in der Luft schweben, und von Karten mit der Aufschrift "СЧАСТЬЕ" (Glück auf Russisch). Im Hintergrund sind weitere Männer in Anzügen zu sehen, die ebenfalls jubeln und Geldscheine in die Luft werfen. Die Szene spielt sich vor einem Hintergrund von Gebäuden ab, darunter ein Gebäude mit einem grünen Dach, das an ein Parlamentsgebäude erinnert. Die Atmosphäre ist voller Euphorie und Erfolg, mit einem starken Fokus auf Finanzen und Wohlstand.

Das Bild zeigt eine surreale Szene mit zwei überdimensionalen Köpfen, die in der Luft schweben. Der obere Kopf hat ein komplexes, verletztes Aussehen mit einem braunen Kopfbedeckung und einem rosa, gepolsterten Teil. Der untere Kopf ist grün und zeigt große, ausdrucksstarke Augen und einen offenen Mund. Beide Köpfe sind mit Nägeln und Stiften verziert. Im Hintergrund ist ein Gebäude mit einer Säulenhalle zu sehen, das an das US-Kapitol erinnert, und ein amerikanisches Flagge weht. Die Szene ist von einer Wüstenlandschaft umgeben, mit Geldscheinen, Kisten und anderen Gegenständen auf dem Boden verstreut. Einige Menschen in periodenbezogenen Kleidern, wie Tweedjacken und Hüten, sind in der Szene vertreten. Im Himmel schweben zwei Luftballons, und Vögel fliegen umher. Die gesamte Szene ist ein surrealer Kommentar zu politischen und wirtschaftlichen Themen.

#Moodys downgraded the #credit rating of the #UnitedStates, saying that it did not expect that the #Republicans fiscal agenda would meaningfully improve the country’s fiscal outlook. The rating went from the highest, Aaa, to the second highest, Aa1. Moody’s downgrade means that NONE of the 3 major #CreditRating agencies give the #US their best rating.

A imagem mostra uma captura de tela de uma mensagem no LinkedIn de um usuário chamado Ken Cheng. A mensagem é uma resposta a um convite de conexão emocional, e Ken Cheng afirma que a IA nunca será capaz de escrever como ele. Ele explica que está inserindo frases aleatórias em cada postagem para confundir os modelos de aprendizado de linguagem. Ken Cheng sugere que todos os escritores e artistas devem fazer o mesmo para proteger seus dados. Ele usa uma linguagem irônica e absurda, como "radiador freak yellow horse spout nonsense" e "tuna fish tango foxtrot defeat AI." A mensagem termina com "Piss on carpet." A legenda acima da mensagem diz "unfollowing everyone on linkedin except this guy," indicando que o usuário está dessejando seguir apenas Ken Cheng.

in reply to Frankie ✅ • • •The image features a character dressed in a dark green hooded cloak and armor, holding a large, tattered scroll. The character has a serious expression and is barefoot, with a quiver of arrows and a sword sheathed on their back. They are wearing a belt with pouches, one of which contains rolled-up scrolls. The character's armor includes a chest plate and leg guards, with intricate designs. The background is plain white, emphasizing the character.
Text in the image reads: "Instead of rolling, you can determine your character's age by multiplying the number of your joints that crack when you stretch by 10." This text is positioned at the top left of the image. The character's appearance and the text suggest a humorous take on character creation in role-playing games.
