I'm trying to come up with advice for our local shelter to expand their social media reach. So I'm looking at a lot of online tips and many of them seem really bad and... phony? Like, I basically just want to tell them to post nice/fun photos and videos, post often, and post with sincerity and joy.

Regarding moderation on social media: it is my sincere belief that blocking is morally neutral! It’s not mean or abusive. It’s not an attack. It can be, at worst, mildly rude, roughly on par with hanging up on a telemarketer.

To understand how GOATed the US economy has been, consider that today's revisions have increased real GDP per capita growth by 1.2%, from 8.2% to 9.4%

That 1.2% increase alone is more growth than the UK, Germany, and Canada have seen, and is almost on par with France (1.5%)
