Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners raised an additional $1.5 billion from Qatar Investment Authority and Abu Dhabi-based asset manager Lunate - bringing assets managed to $4.6bil

“We preemptively tried to avoid any conflicts, so we don’t have to raise capital for the next four years... I made very clear to them that in the event that Trump was elected, that they should not expect anything from me,” Kushner said investors committed in 2021

Here's my Sept story on how Jared Kushner's Saudi-funded Affinity Partners has invested over $1 billion – including in an obscure deal with WeWork’s ex-CEO Adam Neumann. Oddly the investment in Unybrands (reported by CNBC and me) is still not widely reported elsewhere.

My aunt's star sign was Cancer, so it was pretty ironic how she died.

She was eaten by a giant crab.

Moon from Mie Prefecture, Japan

A large, dark, rocky outcrop shaped like a horse's head is silhouetted against a twilight sky. Small plants grow in crevices on the rock. A full moon is visible through an opening in the rock formation, appearing to rest just behind the horse's head. The sky is a gradient of purple and dark blue.

So for all those Crypto bros! - @bumi @dave @merryoscar @samsethi

We thought we would show you all what a F402 invoice looks like you will see that our invoices start with "secrss...."

Apps will need to decode the invoice, get the purchase_hash and Unix time, as that + your API key + audiobookID will give you your preimage so that you can access the book.

We will most likely also look at storing your Server IP addresses in our DB just so that we can be sure that your IP addresses are yours.

I'm an agnostic, but in honor of the Solstice, I'm going to post a few things I'm lucky to have:

- A roof over my head
- Food to eat
- Being able to meet my family's needs

These things also remind me of the work in the coming year to make sure others' have their needs met as well.

Everyone should be able to have these things and live in safety and dignity.

Imagine going to a pub every day. All your friends hang out there, too. You find out the owner and everyone else there are Nazis. And you’re like “I have to hang there because I know people there.”

I have a new personal policy. Anyone I see using or supporting use of THAT social network will be blocked. Same goes for anyone buying a new Tesla.

There’s no excuse. No middle ground. You either support white supremacy and fascism or you don’t. Period.

Spotify is a creepy, and grossly unethical, platform at this point. it rips off musicians and rewards huge companies -- and itself. Apparently what it's doing is legal, however.

This is great reporting, from a new book by Liz Pelly. A compelling read.
