Damn! Canadians aren’t messing around—they’re even pulling already imported alcohol off the shelves. We’re being erased, and I don’t blame them.

Good morning, beloved. Having good beliefs is good. But DOING good is far greater. Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

Just because I like to walk around in my underwear, eating Cheetos, does not make me strange. You folks in aisle 4 just need to stop staring.

I haven't watched this, yet. The comments are worth reading. Good to see sensibility adding to Mr. Cuban already sensible, as usual, position.

I dread the daily drama. The government run by tweets. The oligarchy plundering the country. The ignorant masses making excuses for the imbecile they exalted. I’m embarrassed. I’m ashamed.

x 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.

Does anyone have a contact for Ann ? Would love to discuss with her the possibility of partnering with her to publish her cartoons exclusively on @bluesky

“Don’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!

Okay, this may sound like a weird question but… In your own words, how would you define ‘love’? What is the definition of love to you?

America can’t bring good paying jobs back with Trump. There is no plan— only a “concept” of a plan. Any intention is to create even larger divide between rich and poor completely obliterating the middle class His followers once again vote AGAINST their own best interests It’s truly maddening 🙄

🔥🔥A 2021 study found that Medicaid expansion as part of the ACA led to a substantial reduction in mortality, primarily driven by reductions in disease-related deaths. A 2018 study in the Journal of Political Economy found that, Medicaid reduced infant and child mortality since the 1960s and 1970s.🔥🔥

if you made art this year, you did well. a sketch, even if it was scrapped ; a poem, even if it was deleted — mattered. you put thought to paper, you engaged with the creative alchemy of turning feeling to something tangible. doesn't matter if you weren't productive "enough." or good "enough."
