Keep up the Good News posts amigo. This is great to read and they have outdone themselves with this one

Very poignant tales his friends in AZ shared about all their adventures. Online I had many fantastic discussions with Ed and we developed some cool education for adults on Clubhouse app. It made a difference. He made a difference for people.
Great person. Taken too soon.

He was a gem of a human being. Indeed.

How Lego MRI scanner sets are reducing anxiety in children undergoing medical treatment Lego's MRI scanner play sets, which launched in 2023, are significantly reducing anxiety and the use of sedation in children, according to new research.

Pssst.... there's so much good in the world. ❤️

Lego doesn't sell these kits. Instead, they've donated over 10,000 to hospitals around the globe.

Police Treatment Of Journalists In LA, June 2025 WARNING: DISTURBING IMAGES AND VIDEO Photo of LAPD skirmish line brandishing “less lethal” munitions. Courtesy Ringo Chiu.

In 2021, I made a slideshow based on 50+ incidents of police misconduct toward journalists. It covered all California over a 12 month period. The legislature responded with new laws to protect press.

I just made a new one. It's bigger. It's worse. And it's just one week in Los Angeles.

Thinking of all my friends and family in the LA area right now.

Well done, @jay.bsky.team and team!
And for us initial beta testers… might there be a special group in the works? Recreating that magic is something every beta tester group wants. Just ask us Clubhouse beta folks

Thanks! I’m going to buy it

New study of e-bike rebates finds that the average recipient reduced their CO₂ emissions by 12-44 kg/month. That's roughly equivalent to 30-110 miles/month of driving.

Not too shabby!

Cool. Is this brand known to be tastier than other similar products? What makes it good?

Delta-9 as well?

Woah - I hadn’t heard this one from you before, Dan. Glad you stood your ground for ethics and rule of law, among just basic decency too

openevidence.com ai scans and summarizes research

“…triages new clinical evidence by constantly screening and evaluating the latest peer-reviewed medical studies, and summarizing, analyzing, and synthesizing their key findings, as well as visualizing their key data.”

All true. Love it
Ok Anu you’re inspiring a snowball
-ppl will invariably view their future as a futuristic version of their present life, vs what it really is—a completely different world
-high status co.’s will break their humans in order to execute faster, even when it’s not the strategic move

I’ve seen porcupines in person before and never did they look like a a mini Lorax-Lumberjack curmudgeon; this one must be special! Thanks for sending this

I wonder about moving *Wisdom Emerging* Clubhouse community over and/or try out audio space once some of the community has access to bluesky; 42,000+.
Same wi/original Moderators Club from Clubhouse. We have 10,000+ interested folks.
Sure I can talk moderation w/ you- hit me up!

@monita.bsky.social wow! Saved life? Ok I’m intrigued.
And- I have an idea for you — let’s keep it to our DMs for now; from these clues u dropped here and our past conversations I think I see a relevant pathway … (cont. in dm). And @ninaberries.bsky.social thank you for opening this topic up

100%. Ventilation is king. It would make a huge difference. Well said !

Only when they refer to Wesside (LA) skateboarder social media posters as SkeeterDudes

RIP Levi Felix. Friend and founder of Digital Detox and Camp Grounded.
As it should be your biggest skeet! Right on!

@psychiatrist.bsky.social tell us more about the social audio component of BlueSky you mentioned is already built

Was it actually delicious?

You can tell a lot by how an initial social startup team handles bans, blocks, and beta testers. The 3 B’s

You’re prompting me to preempt the promptadacious poster with a story of my own about a pregnant bug on a spool of thread… Charlotte’s Web-style. And then one day, this bug…

It was! All will be revealed …
Btw- and here’s a hint for future guessers: it was tough as bricked blocked skeet to get in there. Yah, we had to “get in” to a beach area

And the greenroom is an audio room for us Summer 2020 beta tester posse, yah?

Okay, military families sometimes have to choose between food, housing, and more.

That pisses me off.

Tomorrow, I'll announce something big with Blue Star Families https://bluestarfam.org/, complementing work with the Bob Woodruff Foundation https://bobwoodrufffoundation.org/ and GotYour6.
