Yesterday was my first evening preparing taxes for this season, after I passed my re-qualifying IRS exam last week. I loved it as usual 🥲 Elon will have to pry VITA from my cold dead hands

One thing that the Dems should be doing rhetorically is to leverage the moment where eyes are on institutions to articulate a vision of American government as a force for good that stands in contrast to Musk and Trump’s insistence that all government spending is wasteful

Really appreciate this take from @suzmkahn.bsky.social on how Biden fell short of the FDR comparison so many hoped for. “Despite the end of the pandemic, for most people the world has not gotten sufficiently less scary in the last four years.“ open.substack.com/pub/roosevel...

And if you make ~$67k or less and want someone to help you file your taxes (I get it, they can be stressful), use this link to see if there is an IRS VITA service near you! It's free, 100% volunteers who are formally trained and IRS certified (UNLIKE H&RBlock etc.) irs.treasury.gov/freetaxprep/

I’m listening to an audiobook from the early nineties which imagines time travel and video calls but for some reason can’t conceive of answering machines, let alone email. Good reminder how even sci-fi is limited by a creator’s imagination

This looks interesting! I also originally read this as "each paper will get its own day-long discussion" which now makes me think that would be a fascinating conference model. Extreme conferencing?

This piece made me furious. Nurses are asked to bid on shifts, offering to work lower and lower wages, and then the app can fail and not pay them at all. We don't have a nursing shortage, we have a shortage of good jobs sane humans are willing to work. rooseveltinstitute.org/publications...

Excited and honored to be taking the helm at Roosevelt Institute. Our economy should work for the many, not just the few. The Roosevelt community has been instrumental in the fight for shared prosperity, and I can't wait to jump back in in this new capacity. Let's get to work!

Ok I finished Dragon Age: Veilguard and I am here to report that it is in fact…bad. It has some good moments! But it simply cannot stand alongside the old games. The criticism that it’s like Disney Presents: Baby’s First RPG is fair.

There's this popular DC view that the original sin of the Biden administration was too much spending causing inflation because they listened too much to left-wing views on fiscal policy. Yet here is Goldman's top economist on Odd Lots yesterday saying inflation really was a a supply-side story.

Most applicants are great but it is funny to me how many people (men) have sent incredibly rude emails, as if they can bully me into giving them $$ even though they don’t meet the requirements for the program. Bold choice!!

Nonsense like this makes me think good writing is going to become more, not less, valuable. Particularly writing that conveys a unique voice. Sure people will buy slop; lots of people bought 50 Shades of Grey. But that gave Random House a bunch of money to give to real writers.

new working paper ⬇️💰 the assumption that shareholders are the key investors in business innovation is simply taken as a given it's past time to abandon this myth: shareholders of corporations are not always, or even often, “investors.”
