every time the pediatric adhd medication discourse starts up, i gotta remind folks that getting pediatric adhd behavioral therapy is nearly impossible to get for many families. one of the worst shortages out there. medication is often the only realistic option available to desperate parents

Humans are bad at big numbers. Which makes it easier for billionaires (and trillionaires) to get away with hoarding wealth. Because most people just can't comprehend how much money that is.
So, I appreciate this WaPo effort to help people visualize what ridiculous amounts of wealth really mean.

And why exactly is the sex at birth, as opposed to their sex now, at all relevant to identifying, say, a fifty year old woman on DOCUMENTS THAT IDENTIFY HER.
I had blue eyes at birth. You know what my driver’s license says? Hazel. Because they changed, and one is useless for identifying me.

having thought about this for three days, my current status is:
what the FUCK are we doing trying to ban social media for kids and not banning AI use? we are literally telling them not to use the computer to talk to their real friends but instead to the imaginary technology monetisable 'friends'.

this makes me suspect that one of the routes that AI companies are aiming at is targeting young people. anything that existed when you were a kid feels normal and indispensable. especially if you always used AI to write all your essays for you. and to comfort you when your parents were arguing.

Dolly Parton has sent my daughter a new book every month for years as she does for thousands of children. She help fund the development of the Covid vaccine. She’s not a billionaire. I think as non wealthy people it’s hard to even imagine how much billionaires *could* be doing with their money.

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.
NEWS:
Democratic mega-donors are debating plans to spend tens of millions of dollars on a range of influencer plans to "find the liberal Rogan."
We've got pitch decks, investor meetings, and internal docs.
One Democrat has a spreadsheet of 26 different proposals.

Like, I get why folks are gutting every level of education & research, but just on a selfish level, don't they want good doctors? Because we don't get enough doctors if we just push a certain kind of kid into medicine while telling the masses that college (& critical thinking) aren't useful

TV ads for this supreme court Court race feel split like 50/50, but it feels like with all the Musk money it should be really lopsided. So if not TV, where is all that money going? Is it just because I'm in the Madison media market?

They can’t close the Department of Education. Only Congress can do that.
But, they can dismantle it, create chaos and confusion, sow further distrust in the public education system, and create conditions across states that are fundamentally unequal.
And, that is the point.
