You need to interrupt the consumption loop by engaging in a 'reflective output'. Otherwise it is procrastination disguised as learning. So after ingesting the content, stop and think, what did I learn, how do I tie this to my life, what will I do differently. Start living this transformation.

yeah, that's when nonsense swinging back and forth was normalized, when eras of one-party dominance were actually more common in recent history

and also they used to swap red and blue on the projections every election apparently??

the Internet happened, the number of people required to rule shrank

Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

"See me grace the pages of your favorite Conde Nast Publication
They asked me all about my views on relations of races
And cut out the radical shit for space, that's racist
I’m in outer space reading Frankfurt School treatises
That curl the common man into fetuses"

Schools are failing kids with long COVID, hurting them as much or more than the disease.

“Lia’s story is one I’ve heard from dozens of families over two years investigating the impact of long Covid on kids. It’s a slow-moving spiral: first their health, then their grades, then their future.”

Long Covid Is Real -- And It's Changing an Entire Generation

Long Covid is affecting hundreds of thousands of kids in America, and many doctors and schools refuse to recognize their illness.
