1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

As a virtue-signaling elite, I am planning to opt out of Meta products. The toughest one to lose is WhatsApp - so many international friends on there. Can anyone please help complete the analogy: Twitter:Bluesky:: WhatsApp:[????]

Consumer sentiment leapt up, so Millions of Americans got big raises and a sharp drop in prices of things they buy except without that causing job loss or business closure OR Public opinion of the economy is not based primarily on lived experience, but on partisanship and what they hear via media

This is so annoying. Compare this headline from the Times to the findings of the study it cites: "processed plant-based products...still offered substantial environmental, health, and nutritional benefits compared to animal products." www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Is there a version of the narrative here where the Harris camp did pretty well by coming close in light of the anti-incumbent trend in electoral politics?

The 2008 recession happened just as I graduated undergrad and started my first career. Can't wait for the Trump recession to kick in exactly when I finish my PhD and start my second.

I don't understand this. Voting for Trump on the economy makes absolutely no sense. My only hope is that he's too old, tired, and incompetent to fulfill any of his campaign promises.

I asked a Florida voter relative how they would vote. They are undecided. They think Harris is unqualified and pointed to DJT's 4 years in office as evidence of his qualifications. Is this just a more civil version of the R's "Harris is dumb" argument or a crappy second thing?
