Literally just lectured about this!
In the late 1960s, air quality was so bad in several cities they had to turn on the street lights during the day so drivers could see. And yeah, the Cuyahoga River was so polluted it literally caught on fire.

Oh, I don’t know. Our rivers no longer catch on fire and our air is far less poisonous than it used to be, even in smog bowls like Los Angeles. And I think those are good things.
If there’s no shale gas then there’s no shale gas, but I still think environmentalism is basically bad and politicians should focus more on material prosperity.

Kids are playing with lightsabers, and I hear one complain because a part fell off and Daddy "Won't have a clue" about how to fix it.
Guess who put the part right where it belongs and got it working again 🙂↕️

If you don't pay a proper salary for public office, the only people you get occupying public office are the already rich who are there to ensure they stay that way and you never get there
people hate hearing this but it's 100% true, creating a huge pay gap between political leaders, their staffs, and other elites is a recipe for corruption. of course the flip side of that is taxes on the rich should be jacked way the hell up
The Mayor of New York only makes $260k. I bet there are police that make more than that in NY with overtime.
We need to pay elected leaders more money and stop pretending it's some sort of calling. They're managing hundreds of billions of dollars in investments and millions of people's lives.

I don't suppose anyone here is overly familiar with Adobe Fonts licensing, but here goes 😅
Is it permitted within the license to send photoshop files with active fonts to clients who have commissioned work from you?

"I. Won't. Marry. Him!" I clinked my teacup onto the #saucer and stared down three generations.
Mother said, "Oh, darling. It must be hard..."
Grandmama added, "But picture the wedding!"
"NO!" I shouted.
After a long silence, Great-grandmama sighed, "One simply doesn't refuse a prince."
