Tweet by Bharat Ramamurti criticizing Joe Manchin for allegedly consigning millions of children to poverty due to his belief that poor parents used 2021 child tax credit payments to buy drugs. Below is a tweet by Josh McCabe refuting this, stating, 'Study confirms parents didn’t use their CTC to buy drugs in 2021,' with a quote from the study noting no significant association between child tax credit payments and drug use.

X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m.

Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app?

If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

it kicks ass that we've fully moved on from a model of internet success based on organically developing an audience who rewards you for creating interesting or entertaining work to everyone desperately trying to cheat their way into an audience so they can then scam them with various schemes

In Arcane, a character gives another character a blanket and that's what that character wears for the rest of the season. I love my sad adult cartoon

MAGA voted for a criminal dementia patient but instead got a South African billionaire who thinks they’re contemptible fools.

🤔 Do You think that the Constitution WILL be enforced to prevent Traitor Felon 45's inauguration ❓️

Did you know you HAVE to plug your monitors into your graphics card?

I have a brilliant plan, all I need is:

- all the money in the world

“why isn’t <person I really liked> posting anymore?”

the answer is pretty much always that people tore them to shreds for something they did not remotely deserve being torn to shreds for, and did it over and over until they decided they were happier offline

kinda fine with games taking their sweet time to release nowadays, delays included

like the older i get, the faster time goes, and the time will pass anyway

I can forreals wait. I got shit to do, like my massive backlog of games clogging up my steam library

OpenAI doesn't report a single number for its climate impacts - not anywhere, in any way, shape or form.

It sounds kind of obvious but the fact that a company with such incredible electricity hunger isn't disclosing basic information about its energy consumption and associated emissions is v bad..

GENRES ARE MARKETING TOOLS NOT RULES

Canucks lead 4-1 with less than 5 minutes left in the game

I’m always looking for things that explain a lot but that people have a hard time remembering.

Examples: Air is stuff. Pee comes from blood. All land vertebrates have a single common ancestor. Venus is bright enough to cast visible shadows. Clouds are heavy. Bones are alive.

Any others you know?

I want to send a sincere thank you to anybody who gave my new book even an ounce of your time this year. @torontostar.bsky.social released their list of top-selling books in 2024 and Hockey Rants and Raves cracked the Canadian Non-Fiction list.

Gotta say, Jack, if you’re only just figuring that out today, you need to sit down.

Melania Trump got a green card through a program specifically for people with “extraordinary ability,” sometimes referred to as an Einstein Visa. In Melania’s case her “extraordinary ability” was being able to have sex with Donald Trump without vomiting.

Who else wants to bring back real light bulbs in 2025?

entire party built around oppositional defiant disorder

Delicious what’s going on over there.

We are WEAK!!!

Happy birthday, you are freakin awesome

Can we just admit that we NEED immigrants for our economy to run, from agriculture to high tech?

We’re a goddamn nation of immigrants, aren’t we? Let’s be proud of our immigrant heritage!

Feels like every hotel, airplane, car, new home, etc implemented standard USB ports and literally the same year the entire tech world changed over to USB-C

Do you see what CNN is doing here? Please tell me you see it.

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed.

The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

Games that don’t let you fast travel are very immersive. They create a more memorable open world.

… but I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t annoying. 😂

I heard there was a secret ooze that turned four reptiles into dudes, but you don’t really care for turtles do ya
