“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

The Republican pearl clutching about Biden pardoning Hunter is so ridiculous. They keep whining about him not facing punishment for crimes he committed. They didn’t cry once about Trump, who also isn’t facing punishment for crimes he committed.

My husband and I went to a dog adoption event yesterday to hang out with our older son and his girlfriend, who were volunteering there. We were NOT going to adopt another dog. Absolutely, positively NOT.

Meet our new 3-month-old puppy (a rescue from PR). She adopted us, lol. Any ideas for a name? 🐶

Two months ago, I was working at home as a consultant for an international firm. It feels really good, getting closer to home, to affect change.
