I reported this email to the FTC. Has our data been breached? Yes. It has.

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million.

How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65

Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

I don't want to be on ghastly x anymore but it's where a lot of my sales come from so this post is a brazen request for shares to spread the word about my work on a kinder platform that isn't run by a dangerous megalomaniac!

Another fun fact about tariffs raising prices on imported goods is when the tariffs are removed, prices won't be coming down.

If we refuse to watch, we deny them ratings.

What moron at @cnn.com thought it was a brilliant idea to keep Scott Jennings on the network while pushing Jim Acosta to leave?

The seller's website is usually cheaper even including shipping costs. Well worth the extra few days I have to wait for delivery.

Mainstream Media is dead to me - except for Boston Globe, New Yorker and PBS until incoming administration cuts funding.

Same. Was held in foster care for 6 months before placement. Or maybe I was a return. The records have been sealed so I will never know what happened for 6 months after my birth. To this day I don't cry because I still believe no one is coming.

You are right and I should have been specific. I see the exception being adoption/legal guardianship within a family where a niece/nephew is taken in by aunt/uncle.

Not all but most. If it involves money changing hands - as it does when an adoption agency is involved - it is surely human trafficking.

Here Are the Cable News Ratings for November 2024 Fox News commanded the largest cable news share in its history with 62% of the audience.

Viewership on CNN and MSNBC has cratered since the election. People have completely lost faith in legacy media.

Three critical things precede decline into a totalitarian state.

1) Crack down on journalists, researchers, civil society orgs.

2) Oligarchs align with and became synonymous with government.

3) Capture of the courts and law enforcement

With enough time we know the destination for this path.

I get the cis white man thing more than you know but everyone controls their own feed here. You are free to say anything you like on your own feed at any time. Its kinda like consent. If you force yourself on others, maybe Bluesky is not for you.

β€œDon’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

I love that a lot of us are embracing the old ways of doing things. Buttery croutons sound like heaven.

Yep, I had that happen but its still delicious. If you have a stand mixer a slightly more difficult recipe with more consistent results is the Milk Bread recipe on Woks of Life site. So good.
