Ok, that 2nd goal for SDFC was absolute class

@rosemarymosco.com just in case you haven't been told yet. The rock pigeon is the merlin bird of the day. Thanks for all your advocacy and education about this great bird!!

A program in Brazil that gives a monthly cash sum to families living in poverty has an unexpected — and welcome result. A new study shows that it is dramatically reducing tuberculosis rates.

I genuinely think the new SAP ads are absolutely terrible. Smarmy, vapid, and self congratulatory... a dude spouting useless platitudes while sitting poolside in a robe about how good AI is just perfectly summarizes just how clearly they're selling you the emperor's new clothes

Hey, do you enjoy good literature? Do you enjoy supporting independent authors AND publishers? Well here's a triple threat. This is also the first book in years that's been able to hold my attention. Do yourself a favor and pick it up! maineauthorspublishing.com/the-clock-to...
