I like to read, edit videos, and write on my blog. And coffee.

Horror, mystery, and thrillers are my faves

Quite proud of this blog post I wrote two weeks ago about what I use instead of paying for streaming services 😁

I pay for exactly zero streaming services
This blog post is inspired by a post I made on Threads. It of course got only 4 likes and under 200 views because it probably wasn’t controversial enough or engaging enough. Anyway, this blog…

As many expected, the truth is finally coming out, they were just fishermen. The family of the Colombian man killed in the Sept. 15 U.S. military strike in the Caribbean Sea has now filed a formal complaint with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, alleging

While this usually isn't the intent, "no one will ever be held accountable for this" doomerism is an excuse not to try.

There'll be at least some accountability if enough Americans work for it. And this time really is different. Doesn't guarantee the aftermath will be, but it increases the chances.

We now have an unprecedented level of income & wealth inequality.

It isn’t acceptable that the top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 93%, while a majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

We must stand together & create an economy that works for all, not just the few.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

Just uninstalled the Thread's app from my phone. I feel relieved 😅

I'm going to try out using Threads on a computer to share links to my blog posts. But if I don't like using it for that then I might deactivate my account. 😆

As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store.

Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

The platform itself, not the people on it who post interesting stuff. The algorithm clearly prioritizes the most rage-inducing and shocking posts and pushes those. Because of this my For You feed i…

About 40% of SNAP recipients are children. Around half of ALL children in the country are covered by Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program.

And the so-called “party of family values” gutted both programs by billions of dollars.

Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

I avoid my email bc I get a lot of hate mail. My assistant is going through my inbox + organizing it for me. She just texted to say ONE dude has sent me 250+ hate emails this year and should she give him his own folder. 😫

How sad and scared and powerless these dudes must feel.

I hate when I'm reading an interesting blog post on WordPress and then the blogger ends off the post with a clearly AI generated image of themselves 😒 kinda ruins the whole thing
