It's painfully obvious that this whole thing the last couple days is for very rich loser billionaires and oligarchs to gain control of TikTok and shift it just as alt right as the rest of them. TT was the one place progressive journalism had equal exposure, they need to destroy that.

Are we really just chill with a US President offering to BUY another country? How am I hearing this just casually reporting about on #NPR? Honestly, NPR has been beyond and disappointing lately for journalism.

Had a friend start talking to me about Indexed Universal Life Insurance and said 'if I want to sit down for 45 minutes to chat.' I immediately got MLM vibes(I did not sit down). I know about IULI, but it's not a good investment vehicle for me. Is there a seedy MLM side to this too?

How do you find time for personal professional development between 40+ work hours, dedicated family time, and then two hours post kid bedtime to deal with the house, prep for the next day and read news/subs? I've wanted to get stronger on Azure and databricks but have nothing left in the tank!

Because the below skeet went viral here, and people are arguing over it, I'm going to share some more info about it from a thread I did at the other place. I really need to just do an article about it but haven't done that yet. Until then, I hope readers find this thread useful. 🧵
Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.

They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.

The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.
Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.

Google search is basically garbage these days. What are we all using for searching and research? I frequently do literature review for work but I also just want something better for 'googling' than Google. #GoogleSearchSucks

I hate when they take away things you were just starting to really enjoy, like your favorite TV show or democracy.

I'm part of a Working Moms Group on other social media and there was a whole conversation on if you teach young kids that police arrest you and take you to jail or if they help you. You could tell the crowd was all white because no one thought to mention they also can kill you.

I thought Trump only liked winners. This dude is a loser.

As a Detroit Lions fan, I am elated they are doing so well. I also believe it's further proof that we are in the wrong timeline. Id trade Good Lions for killing Project 2025.
