Remember: It is critically important that we continue to ask whether children are being rushed into hormones and surgery despite years of data demonstrating that they are not.
New Study: although Matt Walsh once claimed that the number was "millions," fewer than 1,000 U.S. adolescents were treated for gender dysphoria with puberty blockers, and none under 12 received hormone therapy.

The interior of my kid's orthodontist office is insane. It's set up like a neighborhood and has a full size playground in the waiting area.

I honestly think we are experiencing the end of the internet as those of us born in the 20th c understand it. Smaller, siloed communities like discord servers and newsletters will persist, but the idea of the global public square is dead, as is “the information superhighway.” VCs killed it.
it genuinely sucks that basically nothing on the internet works well anymore. search? barely works. social media? filled with garbage engagement-bait designed to game the algorithm. news websites? pages that refresh at random or so covered in video ads that it’s impossible to read stories

Interesting and a little disappointing.
Who owns the restaurant matters when it comes to cleanliness. Family-owned #fastfood #franchises had more health code violations than corporate-owned outlets. Management professors explain why: https://buff.ly/4arfG8x (Chelsea Sherlock and Erik Markin, Mississippi State) #restaurantindustry
Who owns that restaurant? The answer can affect food safety in unexpected ways, researchers find
Ownership structure matters.

"The fundamental problem, as I see it, is not that social media misinforms individuals about what is true or untrue but that it creates publics with malformed collective understandings. That is a more subtle problem, but also a more pernicious one." YES.
We're getting the social media crisis wrong
The bigger problem isn't disinformation. It's degraded democratic publics. On Zuckerberg today and Musk over the last few weeks. www.programmablemutter.com/p/were-getti...

Waffle House likes to tout how they give jobs to ex cons but for some reason they don’t explain how that helps them keep employees under their thumb
Waffle House employees say owners rob them of up to $46.8 million a year
Servers accuse the chain of wage theft, saying it forces them to do janitorial work and dishwashing for lower tipped wages

Number one is my dread at what’s going to happen to the most vulnerable people (and we’re all going to be pretty vulnerable quickly).
Number two is my disgust at the injustice of it all.
Number three — and it’s a strong number three — is the fever that burns me watching the worst people win.

An immigrant from South Africa, Elon Musk - who has basically bought himself a U.S. President post - ordered Congressional Republicans to vote against a budget deal and usher in a shut-down of the federal government over the holidays, stopping paychecks for our troops... Merry Christmas, America.
