The future of work is changing. And we have to evolve with it or fall behind. That's why we're proud to introduce: Serfdom dot AI. Our platform allows SERFs (solo entrepreneur revenue facilitators) to rent affordable housing that they can subsidize by picking up work with Baron, our AI assistant

Here I was getting all sleepy and ready for bed and then somebody quoted this thread and I’m AWAKE. Glad you’re safe now, but holy crap!

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.
Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”
Really listen to it.

Finally, it's wrong AS A MATTER OF ETIQUETTE. Entering a total stranger's discussion and leading with your private anxiety is as off-putting in social media replies as it would be in real life. If you wouldn't interrupt a stranger at a party to announce that America is doomed, don't do it here.

😍 watching the pelicans is my favorite part of going to Galveston.
How about another pelican diving for fish before bed time?

I learned my kids actually use our shared family calendar because they are annoyed I forgot to put our New Year’s Day lunch at my mom’s house on it. Heart warmed.

Went to bed thinking, “Yay, I don’t need to wake up tomorrow at 4:30!” Of course, going-to-bed brain knows this. Waking-up brain, on the other hand ….

Everything on this thread looks like the
products my husband used to invent to play around with design (pumpkin spice Depends, anyone?) Except the Dolly pancake mix—our HEB actually carries that.

When I worked at a bookstore, I quickly learned that people cannot tell the difference between Xmas music and any Baroque or Elizabethan music album that doesn't get too organ-ish. I used this to my advantage.

If we had to hear “Baby Shark” everywhere we went for two whole months out of the year we’d throw a fit, right?
And rightfully so.
So tell me, why do we put up with it when the song is “Frosty the Snowman”?

Gabrieli’s canzone for brass are my secret weapon at Christmas — I’m not alone; the Gabrieli Consort even put out a Christmas album once upon a time.

The Chartists, an enduring reminder that change is possible and vitally important, even when (at the time) you don't 'win'.
The first issue of the Chartist newspaper, the Northern Star, appeared #OnThisDay 18 November 1837. Without it, Chartism would have been a far weaker thing.
