I’ve received 12 DMs on this app since I joined it, which, based on the dates of the DMs, was about two years ago. Eleven of those were from accounts that are now deleted.

The Giants are making Eagle-sized mistakes.

The Eagles playing in London this weekend reminded me of this story I did for PhillyVoice almost three years ago. www.phillyvoice.com/healthy-tips...

Sounds reasonable 👍

Here's some good bedtime reading. www.phillyvoice.com/best-sleepin...

I would release my birth certificate, but it's spent so much time in my filing cabinet that I don't think it would survive in the wild.

The entire GOP are treasonous traitors who have betrayed America.

My feed on X consists of nothing but repeats of this post:

Bluesky should go back to invites, continue aggressive bot bans, create a Craigslist-style marketplace (since you’re more likely to buy/get services from a educated or good person on here than any other social network), and market this place like a walled garden protected from enshittification.

“Does your skull shape match your income? What, exactly, constitutes a racial slur? Why are babies so tasty, and why won’t the government let us eat them? All this and more, coming up next, on 60 Minutes.”

OK.

Disney History 2 Days Ago It is with sadness I report that Disney legend, and son of Disney legend Ub Iwerks, Don Iwerks has passed away at the age of 96. His contributions are too innumerable to list. apple.news/AnLj70TGXRXS...

“Black lawmakers and activists across the Deep South argue they have been abandoned by the Democratic Party to fight an existential crisis on their own. They say they’ve been let down by nearly all corners of the party.” Essential read:

Yep, for real. The Roberts Court is out of control, and it's either reform the court or get out the pitchforks and torches.

No question.

The Tea Party was (1) small protests which were (2) hyped by media & (3) led to the election of radical nut jobs who (4) badly broke US politics. What we have now are (1) huge protests that were (2) dismissed by media but (3) still got a few candidates in deep blue NYC who (4) will work to fix it.

Scrap the cap. Maybe even reduce the amount over a certain much higher cap than now, but everyone should pay something out of all their income. Fixing Social Security is so much easier than Republicans make it out to be.

People on both sides of the political aisle support more stringent regulations on ultra-processed foods, according to a new survey.

Couldn't agree more ...

I'd like to propose that we drain all of Sam Altman's blood and then offer to sell it back to him at cost.

The thing about this, as someone who’s very versed in LLMs and related technologies, is that the mainstream, mass-marketed versions of “AI” are *worthy* of contempt! Even if you like this tech, why would you advocate for such shitty versions of it? The Internet didn’t *start out* being shitty!

Trans rights are human rights. Would love it if more people acted like it.

It would be cheaper to give every coal miner $5m every year than it is to keep them employed in coal mining. Not even joking; there are maybe 40k coal workers, but annual economic burden of U.S. coal is $200B-$500B (climate change, public health, water & ecosystem damage, dispatch inefficiency).

“Alexa, show us an interview you couldn’t pay us any amount of money to watch”

I don't know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn't a "free market."

I'm not a fan of much of what Gov. Shapiro says or does, but I think he's correct to take on IOUs (investor-owned utilities). www.latitudemedia.com/news/gov-sha...

We ( @takebackthect.bsky.social and some others) had it in 2019: 1) Get rid of the filibuster. 2) Expand and rebalance SCOTUS. 3) Bunch of other stuff that is only possible after 1&2: Ethics reforms, term limits, etc. We don’t need a plan we need people to get on board with it.

When I was growing up (50s and 60s), Canada Dry ginger ale was one of three sodas my parents bought by the case in returnable bottles. The other two were Hires root beer and 7Up.

I'd add repealing Roe v. Wade to the mix, but their plans were never secret. And the Democrats were incapable of stopping them.

I grew up during that brief period. I remember going to Virginia and Tennessee on a vacation with my family when I was in elementary school and seeing billboards saying, "Impeach Earl Warren."
