What witchcraft are Republicans using to create these puppet followers? They block climate action, then unseasonal fires burn communities, and people respond by blaming liberal politics/policies. 🤯 www.usatoday.com/story/entert...
Critical business lesson here. Excel in your current role, be loyal to your employer, but don't be shy about testing the market as well. That is the most common path to success. www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-state-f...
Not a fan of Musk, but the strategy he's deploying is bold and (currently) effective. He runs the risk of overplaying this hand, but hasn't done so yet. Any friction is simply him identifying where boundaries with Trump lie, and then subtly pushing them (like Putin). www.nytimes.com/2024/12/30/u...
H-1B visas strengthen the country from both a social and economic standpoint. There should be more of these, not less. The system isn't perfect (is any?), but let's not let the perfect be the enemy of the good. edition.cnn.com/2024/12/30/p...
As an aspiring author I'd consider it the ultimate mark of success to be on one of these #bannedbooks lists. It speaks volumes about both the power of some's fiction and the fragility of others' reality. dosomething.org/article/unce...
Generation made up of people who have thick skulls and thin skin; Seeking participation trophies in echo chambers as a win-win; Their cup runneth over with both privilege and confidence; Disrespecting themselves digging for compliments

hip-hp and rap fans is this list accurate? Hint - Neither Jay-Z or Drake breaks the top 10 - Kendrick's 2024 doesn't break the top 5 - Where is Tupac?! - #1 is who you'd expect #hiphop #rap #goat #drake #kendrick #jayz www.theringer.com/2024/12/19/m...
Still feel like this btw
It seems many have decided their social media persona should be a stream of posts on a single topic to attract a targeted demographic (i.e. politics, sports, music, activism). I want multi-faceted humans to interact with, not a bunch of one dimensional robots. Is there a starter pack for that?
Kendrick + Biggie "The Notorious GNX" mashup I'll be bumping this for the next few days www.complex.com/music/a/trey...
been seeing a lot of "best books of 2024" lists as the year winds up. 90% plus are from recognized authors. any platforms pushing the work of first time authors? www.theguardian.com/books/2024/d...
Didn't realize birthright citizenship isn't a global norm until travelling outside the US. Most countries don't have it. It creates perverse incentives. Trump admin has radical plans, but this isn't radical. Let's save our energy for the real dangerous ideas. www.politico.com/news/2024/12...
Looking for something to read this holiday season? Personally looking forward to a few of these. nypost.com/2024/12/14/e...
This is true, with the exception of college students. Bag full of everything but zero responsibility
I have a theory that you can tell how much responsibility you have in life by how much stuff you carry in your pockets/bag. Young kids: nothing at all Adults: phone, wallet, keys, maybe work pass Parents of newborns: so much stuff that the act of leaving the house can provoke an existential crisis

True, but also a valuable lesson for regular people in our every-day lives. After a few small wins we feel overly confident and sometimes bite off more than we can chew. Same takeaway: watch the fuck out
After "great victories," leaders become intoxicated with power and convinced they can do anything they want, no matter how destructive to themselves & others. That's certainly happening right now with Trump & Netanyahu. My advice for the rest of the world is to watch the fuck out.
The USA<>Ghana political bizarro world has come full circle. Ghana's immediate past president won his election against the current vice president. Anybody else find it ironic that US politics is mirroring that of emerging markets? www.reuters.com/world/africa...
