Love to see the Sedgwick County Zoo putting out a good explainer on why GenAI slop videos of animals are a problem & how to identify them! It’s succinct, easy to read, and doesn’t shame people for not knowing better. A+ useful link to share with family and friends.

Because of a state law, residential property owners in Boston are projected to face a 13% tax spike next year.
Meanwhile, corporations will pay their lowest share of property taxes in 43 years.
I’m hosting an AMA on Reddit about our plan to protect homeowners and deliver residential tax relief.

Men aren't more lonely than women but the loneliness epidemic is real. Millions are in isolation, it's capitalist individualism, & disability is isolating. Lots of folks are really alone. But it's not gendered, that framing is patriarchy, babying men like their unhappiness is everyone else's burden.
According to Pew Research and a few other stats, the loneliness epidemic isn’t disproportionately affecting men over other genders.
I have a feeling that men have been the squeaky wheel over the last few years.
If anything, we have a loneliness epidemic because more people are (barely) surviving.

Democrats 2 biggest strategic failures is that:
1. They don't fight for you.
2. They fall into traps that feed the nihilism of "both sides."
Newsom's impressive online jockeying seems to solve 1. But when you've side with tyrants on against the group they're scapegoating, you've got no one's back.
