Fair. I suppose I was incorporating this part into my post. Even if social media is good for some or even most kids, which I don't believe it is, there was no consideration of what might happen when it was fully unleashed on them. Many are addicts, and all are a line item to boost profit margin.

Sometimes these issues about healthcare and about income and wealth inequality are not talked about in the corporate media and it’s time that we did talk about them.”

Leopards Eating People's Faces Party refers to a parody of regretful voters who vote for cruel and unjust policies (and politicians) and are then surprised when their own lives become worse as a result. knowyourmeme.com/memes/leopar...

Thank you @sanders.senate.gov for standing up for human rights when no one else will. Here is the list, in case anyone wants to call their senator.
Also, Elizabeth Warren just got a lot cooler.

The pragmatist in me says, "just throw the embryos away!" But this isn't about the embryos, it's about Petrova's opposition to Putin's war and subsequent arrest in Russia.
She held two legal visas—one in the US and one in Europe. Somehow she's been unlawfully detained. tinyurl.com/yc6uzpz8

(Per NYT) On Friday the Joint Task Force to Combat Antisemitism called the Zoom call a "concerning revelation." Later that night an email went out saying Dr. Armstrong would be replaced by co-chair of the board of trustees (?) Ms. Claire Shipman; a move to assert direct control.

SecDef Austin in typical travel attire v. SecDef Hegseth.
He's dressed like he's some cowboy too good for the job (while defending his huge Signal spillage error). The lack of deference is giving, he doesn't know how unqualified he is which is pretty frightening.

No the point is to democratize learning, knowledge. There are no absolutes. It can't exist as a tool of the few or completely unchecked for all.

The Consumer Confidence Index (Conference Board) and Consumer Sentiment Index (Michigan) are closely watched by economists because consumer spending drives ~ 2/3 of the U.S. GDP. Each index focuses on different factors driving spending behavior (jobs vs. inflation/finances). surl.li/bikgfv

She didn't even know how to apply for a jury trial in the state of New York and got Trump stuck with a bench trial and a $400 million verdict in his business fraud case.

While his article "Kill Tesla, Save…" is protected hyperbole, I don't agree with the photo Wilson included.
It raises an interesting question though. Are violent offenders against Tesla "terrorists" or "patriots?"
Using the J6 model, they're the latter, and deserving of a presidential pardon.

Bernie didn't answer the AOC question because he's not a political strategist; he's not going to speculate.
He similarly sidestepped this trans-rights question.
He avoids questions aimed at pulling him into political games that will divide people.

Excellent critique of the Democratic Party. Bernie is authentic in his positions in large part because he gets small-dollar donations from individual supporters.
