I confess, I didn't think @harvard.edu would stand up. So glad they did!

So @realbillmaher.bsky.social decides to have dinner with Hitler (this is too obvious) and declares he was really a lovely host, laughed at my jokes, showed me his art. Very different from the way he is as der Führer. If people only learned to talk with each other like we did…

I recently completed reporting for several LLCs. It was quick and easy. The reason the business community doesn't want the law isn't because it is "onerous". It is because it makes shell companies less effective at obscuring ownership.

It’s pretty incredible that something as profoundly important as the organ transplant system is so f***ed up
It took almost 20 years of advocacy by people like Donna Cryer to pass reforms

It’s striking that some of the most promising research on debilitating Long Covid was funded by a small patient group using the $5 million they got from @vitalik.ca — in cryptocurrency!
That's why @patientled.bsky.social is my choice for this year's donation guide.
Great way to make a difference.

2024: the movie Idiocracy is a beautiful and aspirational look at a future brighter than our own. a tantalizing glimpse into a better world that has already slipped from our fingertips.

Inconvenient truth for those who are railing on federal employee bloat - federal employment has not grown since 1950s
The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s
