The pattern that works for me is like, do thing 5 times (regardless of streak) and then treat yourself, and repeat

Trump's new executive order about AI states that companies' models must not incorporate the idea that trans people exist as a concept. Seems bad.

Roadmap

Having said that, I've always been a fan of the GOV.UK-style roadmap for its simplicity and clarity www.payments.service.gov.uk/roadmap/

What platforms are folk using to build, iterate and most importantly share their roadmaps?
Mine is in Prodpad, but it turns out I canโ€™t share it with anyone that doesnโ€™t have a licence.

'The Naked Gun,' a dazzling documentary, and more in theaters this week Liam Neeson plays the detective Frank Drebin, Jr. in a Naked Gun reboot that piles on the jokes. Meanwhile, a stunning documentary explores the history of stone and cement in architecture.

I don't want to get into the whole Oxford comma thing, but I first read this headline as having an appositional explanatory phrase in the middle...and my first reaction was, "Well, no...it's not..."

The Age-Checked Internet Has Arrived Starting today, UK adults will have to prove their age to access porn online. Experts warn that a global wave of age-check laws threatens to chill speech and ultimately harm children and adults alike.

Happy Age Verification Day! I'm quoted in this vg Wired piece on why it's all sort of a hot mess. www.wired.com/story/the-ag...

Germany gave people โ‚ฌ1,200/month no strings attached.

They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others.

Turns out, when people arenโ€™t drowning, they swim further.

Gaza is starving. Where are the American Jewish leaders? A fear of being labelled antisemitic still deters American Jews and Jewish institutions from taking a position that is morally correct.

The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli govโ€™t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God.

Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesnโ€™t use should raise their voices loudly here as well.
