Visual content creator, social justice stories are my forte. I cook with cast iron.
Extremely proud of my self that I had no idea who Andrew Tate was before my very woke daughter started complaining about him.

If capital gains taxes are job killers, right now would be a good time to increase capital gains taxes.

Why a Capital Gains Tax Increase Would Be a Massive Jobs (and Wealth) Killer

An increase in capital gains taxes would discourage high-risk investments that launched the dreams of Henry Ford, Steve Jobs, and Jeff Bezos.

I really despise the fact that, despite the fact that I am now old enough to know better, I will still eat till it hurts, when the opportunity presents itself.

I support Ukraine. I also find the trending social media campaign to be inauthentic and contrived.

Yes, I know, the Russian bots.

Still, the pro-ukraine social media is not very persuasive.

A bullet is shot out of a cannon and turns into an Olympic swimmer.

Very cool video editing.

Ok mastodonians, take a break from your workday and consider what happens when journalists stab and betray each other while playing an online version of diplomacy.

The Impossibly Nerdy Online Game That’s Fixing the Brains of Media Twitter

Diplomacy is a strategy game beloved by a small group of policy wonks and journalists. It’s also healing their Twitter-addled brains. 

A major British news org publishes an item where a white man fantasizes about a violent sexual assault against Megan Markle.

I'm not posting that offensive tripe on here.

But I will post this response, which is also infuriating, where a different white man has the audacity to suggest Megan is not black, (as if that delegtimizes her grievances.)

White men been deciding racial labels for whatever way benefits them for way too long fam.

Y'all are chasing working artists away from this place by harping on how "sad" and "pathetic" it is for them to hope for a large follower count here.

It's not about attention. It's about their bottom line. More followers means more commissions, more customers in their online shops, more direct exposure to people with hiring power. It's honestly really cruel to keep acting like they want adulation when really they just want to pay rent.

They have ample reason to mourn what they built.

Don’t be put off by the namby-pamby headline & restrained writing. This story is a classic in the nitty-gritty reporting crucial to democracy. Just hope it isn’t too late to stop this thieving low-grade con man, who appears to be a lavishly-financed Trump/GOP plant, from taking his seat in Congress. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/19/nyregion/george-santos-ny-republicans.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
