Difficult to emphasize just how much a generation of kids has been taught that being dishonest, superficial, and narcissistic is the pathway to attention and therefore success

Documents Reveal a Web of Financial Ties Between Trump Officials and the Industries They Help Regulate ProPublica is releasing a trove of disclosure records that detail the finances of more than 1,500 Trump appointees, including former lobbyists, industry executives and at least a dozen officials who d...

This story cannot keep flying under the radar.

A ProPublica investigation uncovered hundreds of millions of dollars in financial ties between Trump officials and the industries they are supposed to regulate.

That is not just a conflict of interest. It is corruption, plain and simple.

It's so bad that we've reached a point where members of Congress casually discuss stripping citizenship from and deporting people because they don't like their views.

How Denver’s Northeast Park Hill community reduced youth violence by 75% A neighborhood coalition identified risk factors for youth violence and prevention strategies.

I’m hard pressed to think of a social issue considered as intractable as community violence that folks just sat down and figured out how to solve.

Exclusive: U.S. dismissed Ukraine deal for anti-Iran drone tech last year Snubbing Ukraine's offer ranks as one of the U.S.'s biggest tactical miscalculations before the war, officials say.

EXCLUSIVE: 7 months ago, Ukraine tried to sell the U.S. their battle-proven technology for downing Iranian-made drones.

The Trump administration dismissed the Ukrainians, only to reverse course last week after more-than-expected Iranian drone strikes.

It looks like the generational divide is moreso younger people not remembering customer service before the great data reckoning and attaching morality to the surveys.

If you accept these fundamentally anti-worker surveys/reviews as morally good then the system has won, my friend.

THIS is the take on LLMs and the job market. They can probably do some jobs, which will worsen millions of people's lives. But much more than that, people who don't understand your job will assume that it is worthless, even more than they already do.

X post: Apparently, The New Yorker ran a story with an illustration of Wunmi Mosaku that was obviously not intended to represent her well, so I redid it real quick in a similar style. Took 15 minutes & a love of Black women ❤️

Sometimes just based on the way strangers of a certain age/race demographic reply to me on here, I can tell their kids went no contact with them at least eight months ago. And were right to do so.

There needs to be like 5 "too nice to work" holidays controlled by each state. Like a snow day, you don't get any advance notice. The stations and alerts just put out the message that the next day is too nice to work and everyone is off.
