I have a question for you about the savings rate for ATC. Is it possible to have too high a savings rate, in terms of both planning for a comfortable future and enjoying experiences now (for me it’s mostly travel to foreign countries).
Also, how does a pension figure into the savings rate?

The WSJ article that surveyed sentiment, if you take a job that does not have a fulfilling purpose and add the comparison effect of social media, are we just hollowed out by chasing unrealistic lifestyles without the only purpose of more?

@gallego.senate.gov please tell me you are going to do your best on the firing of BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer. It’s been bad enough but once this country starts attacking data, the erosion (of whatever is left) of public trust is unbearable to our democracy.

Re-watching The Wire for the umpteenth time.
How Marlo deal with the co-op in season 4 is too on the nose for the current international plan the United States’ has careened into.
Not a perfect analogy bc Marlo is actually competent, but he ruthless authoritarian pursuit is hard to ignore.

Listened to AS today. Two things:
Is average household income better than median, giving the right skew distribution of household salaries?
Tell Michael the key is active warm up techniques. I’m nearly at 47 still ref/play right. Active warmups saved me.

I think I miss the halcyon days of my teen years where the most dangerous think I did was try to buy dime bags in Philly.
In all seriousness, this is not a question of literacy but diet. Eat shitty food, don’t exercise the body turns against us.
Same goes for the mind.

Continue to think media literacy is key going forward

📱@pewresearch.org found American teens are mostly on YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat, & Instagram — some are online almost all the time: www.pewresearch.org/internet/202...
Pew told me they’ll ask if adults & teens are using Bluesky in 2025.
Steep decline in teen Twitter & Facebook use seem notable.

If the federal budget of what we have spent so far this year (2.44T) was $100, doge has basically saved $0.02.
Not through efficiency measures to drive value to customers, mind you. Just by firing people, not paying contracts, and selling the government for parts.
