A screenshot of my Focus Friend room which is mostly full
This count up timer has really changed the game for me on #focusfriend! I struggle to figure out how long tasks will take, so I kept undercutting myself on socks bc I didn't think a task would take as long as it did. Most of this comes from this week!!

Title card: Study Hall courses
Below is a composition notebook with 4 tabs sticking out. They read: Power and Politics in US Government, Real World College Math, Modern World History, and Intro to Psychology. To the right is a yellow post it note that says "take a top tier college course for just $25." Behind these objects are fall leaves. In the bottom right corner there is a brown notebook, and in the top left corner there is a matcha latte.
Study Hall courses offer the best low-investment, risk free way to start, re-start, or continue your college journey! Where else can you take a college course that starts on YouTube, and only pay for the credit after you've passed the course?

I've been able to turn it on and then open another app to watch videos with Focus Friend running in the background. I think this is the intended usage as long as Deep Focus mode isn't on? So you could try that!

The reason EV range (and gas mileage) go down so much when you drive faster is because, when you drive twice as fast, you hit twice as many molecules AND you hit each of those molecules with twice as much force, which means drag increases exponentially.

An extract of a typewritten letter - the letters overlap and are not aligned, with one squiggly overlapping sentence reading "Oh dear this is more modern art than letter"
My old typewriter fell apart on me while I was typing a letter to a friend.
(relatable)
This led to an oddly artistic mess. Ran out of ink afterwards, alas, after maybe 25 years of owning it.

Walking is really, really, really good for you.
Conclusion of a new meta-analysis that reviewed 57 studies on walking & health:
"Compared with 2,000 steps per day, 7,000 steps per day was associated with a 47% lower risk of all-cause mortality."

This is a big and significant win, and speaks to the real power of public advocacy campaigns. Still a VERY long way to go in the fight against the cuts, though. Join us at @tbfighters.org in pushing against attempts to cut U.S. investments in domestic and global health.

Tracking the impact of TB funding via USAID
Experts estimate USAID cuts are leading to 88 deaths PER HOUR. A UN office called these βthe deepest funding cuts ever to hit the international humanitarian sector.β If funding isn't resumed, they estimate an additional 10 million cases & 2 million preventable deaths by 2030: tb.impactcounter.com

I would like for wealthy people excited for tax cuts to sign a piece of paper acknowledging that every dollar they get in tax breaks is going to be paid for by someone elseβ¦either someone not getting healthcare or SNAP or some future person paying higher taxes to pay the interest on our new debt.

One of the benefits of reading a lot of history is that you realize how many people who were ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN they were doing a lot of good were, in fact, doing a lot of harm.
Certainty is a hell of a drug. Certainty combined with fame/power is especially dangerous.

Don't just say it's unconstitutional, remind people that the constitution is full of very good ideas designed to prevent authoritarianism, and most people who want to ignore it want that specifically because they are authoritarian.
