The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024.
This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you.
Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

I used to think that when global warming truly began to bite, deniers would face reality & we could act. Now I think it's more likely it will lead to a kind of fascism that will respond to global warming by, like, executing everyone who says global warming is real.

Should we continue to encourage kids to go to college ? Or push them to take up a trade ?
I believe in college. Learning how to learn, IMO, is a critical life skill. Being exposed to people of different backgrounds, makes yiu wiser
Qualifier- it should be a school you can afford.

Here is some advice for aspiring game writers.
Do not come into games wanting to be a game writer with the attitude that all you are going to write are the cinematics.
Fact: a game’s story is not about the cinematics.

After I got my doctorate in health admin, I could have taken a cushy job atop a corporate health firm & gotten rich off denying claims, but instead, I chose a low-paying civil service job to help care for Veterans & the Military. So don't give me that "he was only doing his job" crap.

Protect your peace: not everything needs your reaction, attention, or energy. Let it pass. That’s self-care and boundary work.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok?

When you call 911, they ask “police, fire, or EMS?”
Only one of those costs money: the ambulance. That’s unacceptable.
Imagine if your house was on fire and you were presented with a bill after it was put out. That would be outrageous.
So why do we tolerate it with healthcare?

Dear President Biden,
In the spirit of Dark Brandon, please use one of your Executive Orders to CANCEL ALL STUDENT DEBT.
That way, if trump wanted to reverse it, he'd have to disappoint all those families and reinstate all that debt.
You have immunity.
Just do it.

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.

The genuine shock on her face. They almost broke. What pros.
Mary Tyler Moore accidentally nailed a perfect trick shot in *The Dick Van Dyke Show* (1962)—on the FIRST take.
It was supposed to be done by a pro, but she shocked everyone and pulled it off herself. Absolute legend. 🎱✨

The moral of the story, kids: It’s fine to try to stop the peaceful transfer of power and incite a mob to storm the Capitol and do all you can to overturn an election as long as you run again and win 🇺🇸
