Wealth effects are supporting consumer spending even as gains in real disposable income track weakness in hiring & stickiness in inflation. Real income gains have been effectively zero over the past 3-6m. A falling saving rate reflects that consumption is not being financed by labor income

“The age of Gen AI is ‘the age of no consent.’ Unsurprisingly, women are less keen on GenAI than men, & a lot of that has to do with how it is used to harm them. Funny how women tried to warn us about this years ago….” 🙏🏼

Indeed, Silicon Valley runs on lack of consent!

Carbon monoxide deaths spike during power outages.

If you own a portable generator, make sure you have working carbon monoxide alarms. One portable generator can produce as much carbon monoxide as hundreds of cars.
The latest on the major winter storm and extreme cold expected later this week.

Never run your generator indoors. Even with the big garage door open, it’s still not enough ventilation. The only safe place to run a generator is outdoors at least 20ft away from your home.

This is an incredible cookbook.

I've given three copies as gifts, and one family called it "nearly transformative" for its ability to widen the range of foods their autistic child would eat, and for opening paths of consideration for *what* things their child found objectionable.

Buy it.
I’m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote a food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide titled COLOR TASTE TEXTURE! It’s useful for all ages, with no cooking experience needed. Food doesn’t need to be a fight. Explore eating with insight, loving kindness, and gentle humor.
Color Taste Texture by Matthew Broberg-Moffitt: 9780593538593 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books
An accessible family cookbook that offers solutions rather than tricks to empower the food-averse, autistic, and picky eater, with 46 recipes. This much-needed cookbook combines tips and techniques.....

The Insurrection Act in no way whatsoever suspends, closes, or bypasses the courts. It is not a suspension of habeas corpus. It is not martial law. It does not authorize rule by decree. It allows using troops for law enforcement but that's it. It's not an instant dictatorship switch.
Trump on the Insurrection Act: "It does make life a lot easier. You don't through the court system. It's just a much easier thing to do."

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.
