Will Smith has a reading foundation and visits public schools. Just so you know the guy who hit that game winning homer has done good things for the LAUSD
Daughter comes out of school with a brand new Dodgers hat and I ask her where she got it.

"Oh this guy Will Smith from the Dodgers read us a story at school today"

America maintained hold of the World Series Championship because we attracted the skilled and willing from abroad.

Dodgers players this year were born in Japan, the Dominican Republic, Venezuala, Cuba, and South Korea, as well as in the US (including Puerto Rico).

Let's keep America attractive.

And if you have extra HSA or FSA funds to use before 12/31, this is a great way to spend them down
Please direct people to their local Diaper Bank. They collect unused diapers (kid outgrew newborn size but you still have half a pack left etc) & menstrual hygiene products to redistribute free to those in need. Post menopause, I donated my unopened tampon boxes there. Someone can use them!

Spotify is running recruitment ads for ICE.

A platform built to connect creators and listeners is helping an authoritarian regime build up its secret police force.

But we’re not going to idly accept that. We’re going to make Spotify listen: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you have friends struggling through the shutdown, consider inviting them over for a family dinner this week. Make too much. Insist they take leftovers home. Some folks can't say they need help out loud but will appreciate the kindness.

tell you what, it's a fucking terrible time to have even one molecule of human empathy. I have moments where I think that.

A lot of people are pretty freaked out by the current political state of affairs and carrying on because they don't know what else to do, except out one foot in front of the other.

And I think a lot of Very Online folks mistake that for "normie" indifference

I think its genuinely a virtue to accept that you could be wrong about anything and kill the part of yourself that needs to always be seen as correct and smarter than others on any given topic
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Let's talk about art, tech, and the genocide in Congo. As someone who works in Animation and Publishing, tech is something that's always changing and esp in the fast world of animation, "the latest tech" is something that is often encouraged.
