Read an article stating that Bluesky will never have the amount of users that the other place does. As if that’s a bad thing? There’s something to be said about quality over quantity.
They can have their bot-infested dystopia over there, whilst we have tea and scones in front of the fire over here.

I had to break down & read the article.
"Most people still want the newest and most up-to-date phones and tablets,..."
I DON'T want the newest, most up-to-date ones because they always seem to eliminate my favorite features I use the most & they add a bunch of new features that get in the way.

If a phone still works fine, it’s not “device hoarding” to keep using it. It’s common sense.

A new staffer had readily #learned
How respect from his boss could be earned.
It was easy: Just "yes" him
And never depress him
With facts. Truth must ALWAYS be spurned!

Watching Karoline Leavitt spew her usual misinformation and divisive nonsense makes me wonder, why isn’t there a People’s press secretary?
Someone who stands at a podium, tells the truth, and gets covered too.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

This was southern CO last night.
I had a three hour drive home in the dark and not until we got into the mountains near our house, away from enough light pollution, did I notice an odd red hue in the sky. We got up to our house and I took these. Hopefully we’ll get even better ones tonight

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

I just got an email from a former mentee telling me that one dinner conversation changed how he writes papers♥️
I told him: “just write the paper, get it out—the next one will be better, and the next even better.”
Perfectionism is a trap (and a way to procrastinate...:))

This this this. No elected official should be able to trade in stocks. @whitehouse.senate.gov has traded $27 million dollars in single stocks (according to NASDAQ). It's not just the GOP, this is an issue across both parties and both houses.
What's one way Congress can regain the American peoples' trust?
By preventing lawmakers from using their positions of power to trade stocks on what amounts to insider information.
A ban is past due.
