"Credentialism, like so much rot, has precedent in academia. Consider peer review. Peer review ostensibly improves the credibility of scientific works and helps to prevent fraud while keeping the standards of published research in different fields appropriately high. But it does no such thing; it amounts to little more than an expensive attempt to make the status and opinions of academics sacrosanct."

⚠️ BEWARE Are your investments really yours?


When you make investments with an investment firm, your shares or positions are typically held in one of the following ways:

• Street Name: This is the most common arrangement, where the investment firm holds your shares or positions in its own name, often referred to as "nominee" or "street name." This means that the investment firm's name appears on the company's shareholder register, rather than your own name.

• Omnibus Account: An omnibus account is a type of account that holds shares on behalf of multiple clients. The investment firm holds the shares in its own name, but the account is designated as an omnibus account to indicate that the shares are held for the benefit of multiple clients.

• Segregated Account: A segregated account is a type of account where the investment firm holds your shares separately from its own assets. This arrangement provides an additional layer of protection for your shares, as they are not commingled with the firm's own assets.

• Custodial Account: A custodial account is a type of account where the investment firm holds your shares on your behalf, but the account is held in your own name. This arrangement provides a high level of control and transparency over your shares.

⚠️ According to a survey by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 2020:

• 92% of investors held their shares in street name.
• 6% of investors held their shares in an omnibus account.
• 1% of investors held their shares in a segregated account.
• 1% of investors held their shares in a custodial account.

⚠️ This reveals that 98% of investors holding investments with investment firms are VERY exposed. This is exactly what David Webb refers to in his book The Great Taking. Webb explains that in the event of a financial institution's insolvency, ennoscriptment holders (ordinary investors) would not be protected, while secured creditors would be prioritized.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development has been squandering money on thousands of unused software licenses, an audit found, according to DOGE.

For example, there were "11,020 Acrobat licenses with zero users," DOGE noted in the post on X.

DOGE's "initial findings on paid software licenses" also included, "35,855 ServiceNow licenses on three products; only using 84," "1,776 Cognos licenses; only using 325," "800 WestLaw Classic licenses; only using 216" and "10,000 Java licenses; only using 400."

"All are being fixed," the tweet concluded.

Pope Makes Love To Lady Mary Wortley Montagu (1852), by William Powell, 118 x 94 cm, Auckland Art Gallery

Early in his career, Frith specialised in painting episodes from the lives of famous historical personalities. Here he depicts the disastrous moment that spelled future enmity between the poet Alexander Pope and his potential patron Lady Mary Wortley Montagu. Frith explained the situation for viewers of the 1852 Royal Academy exhibition. 'Her own statement, as to the origin of the quarrel, was this: That at some ill-chosen time, when she least expected what romancers call a declaration, he made such passionate love to her, that in spite of her utmost endeavours to be angry and look grave, provoked an immediate fit of laughter: from which moment he became her implacable enemy'.
