Meanwhile, in Florida, Alabama, Louisiana and other red states, cases have plummeted after earlier surges swept through, leaving many with immunity

I wish immunity would get discussed more often.

What a nice and timely reminder to be grateful

Wow this was actually a waste of time. Disrespectful, inaccurate (or at least no proof / sources offered for absolute statements) and inappropriately oversimplified

you should create a master resume based on the job descriptions for what you consider to be three dream jobs. Then tweak it according to the specific requirements of each job you apply to

I’ve followed this approach for a while and it always worked well for me

Beautiful :)

it is my belief that market forces, democratic decline, and a toxic obsession with “national security”—a euphemism for state supremacy—are drawing the US and China to meet in the middle: a common extreme.

I agree with the HBR. Keeping a job for 5+ years is such a boomer thing to do 😅

Great input and the monkey trap metaphor is amazingly accurate 🐒🙈

It’s interesting how ReadUp is showing me how much writers write about writing

If only the public could be persuaded to abandon atoms for bits

Scary stuff

Pre-pandemic, about 8% of U.S. adults experienced depression. But in a survey of 1,161 people taken between March and April of 2020, that statistic jumped to 28%. And when researchers surveyed the same people a year later, they saw a jump to 32%.

How is this not talked about more? It’s totally insane.

I really like the concept of a shared reality. Resonates strongly with me.

So good to see people have the courage to push back despite the censorship and political arrests

So to all you Stoics: Take the night off.

Haha, probably not gonna happen 😅

Time to take the threat of fast food seriously

Funny to see this as AOTD today as I just saw him on Twitter too :)

I had gained a staggering amount of control. I was no longer tempted to scroll down an infinite feed of content. The time I spent on Facebook decreased dramatically. Overnight, my Facebook addiction became manageable

Amazing. So much powerful stuff in a short and to the point post

When you’re ready, it should feel planned, not canned.

You always know when you’re doing something for the first time, and you almost never know when you’re doing something for the last time.

🤯

Considering the actual chances of dying with Covid as the cause of death, this is pretty lame. Classic scare tactics by capitalist Pharma giants trying to make a buck. Not impressed.

kids can choose to learn, instead of being forced to

We’re home schooling our kids and this brings our approach to the point. Our kids can read and write because they chose to learn those skills. Isn’t that amazing :)

Be the change

Such an important read!

in our public schools, many of our undergraduates have been exposed to huge amounts of pornography but remarkably little information about their own bodies

As someone who went through school before the time of free online porn, I often wonder about the consequences that young generations will face

Nettle concentrates vitamins and minerals from the soil in its body, resulting in easily absorbable nutrition, boasting superior levels of phytonutrients and life-sustaining vitamins and minerals. A cup of Nettle tea can offer 500 mg of calcium—double what’s in a cup of cow’s milk. Fortifying blood, building bones, increasing energy levels, improving circulation, and decreasing inflammation and oxidative stress in the body are a few of the health benefits.

This is so cool

If a company doesn't want to bear the risk of manufacturing and selling an FDA-approved treatment that the government has determined is mostly safe and mostly effective, then the government should simply assume that risk--and the patent.

Imagine a world where capitalist organisations can produce stuff that gets injected in your body and they won’t be liable if something goes wrong... oh wait... we’re there already and it isn’t going particularly well. This article clearly didn’t age well

This is amazing.

Good to see some real insights beyond the usual misleading clickbait

Very very fascinating. Bill, we were there for part of this (well, in my case, I was there for almost all of it 😬)

The obviously political object is to legitimize the 2020 coup attempt in order to soften the ground for the next one — and there will be a next one

Petty much the tl;dr

Two very different types of projects under one umbrella that both solve an issue that I feel passionate about. I'll have my eyes on this.

Are people coughing from COVID-19 or the smoke? Is the sky orange because of the sunrise or because of some nearby wildfire? When did my sense of reality become so skewed?

Absolutely beautiful. AOTD makes complete sense.

What a way with words:

My earlier experiences of falling in love had felt like being stuffed in a barrel and thrown off a waterfall, a blind tumble both euphoric and terrifying. Falling in love with Henry felt like being carried along a smooth river to the sea.

Alexa hitting the nail on the head once more:

If you want to see climate change reversed…skip the ranty Instagram post and just stop using Amazon, plant a garden, build soil health, and start showing the love to your local food coop and farmers market. And when friends notice the change, share why generously

Well said. Congrats, Thor!

My wife and I are preparing to leave the country if things don’t change in the next 12 months. We don’t feel safe to raise our kids in a police state where the military is deployed to enforce Orwellian rules and police use pepper spray against teenagers

Haha yes, definitely not moths 😂

The next chapter is about a decentralized social platform operated by a DAO (decentralised autonomous organisation) which is governed by members through a blockchain based voting mechanism.

I love meat, and I’m eager to switch to the tissue-cultured variety. After tissue-culture meat becomes cheaper than animal-farmed meat, there will be holdouts who insist that they won’t eat “fake” meat, just as there are now people who refuse Covid vaccines and insist on blasting diesel smoke into the air

Wow... there is a lot in this section that I’m super uncomfortable with

This is the perfect example of a doctor who (alongside with many many other health professionals) discredit the entire health industry. Anyone who does some research knows that the vaccinated can still contract as well as transmit the virus (hence the mask mandate even on vaccinated people) and yet he makes statements like these:

This time around, the unanticipated crisis driving the surge of cases was avoidable if enough people had taken the necessary precautions and got their Covid vaccines.

The surge of cases was unavoidable (send my regards to delta) but what is avoidable with the vaccine is hospitalisations. I can’t believe that a doctor with the his credentials doesn’t understand the difference. No wonder so many people stay hesitant.

This could allow an attacker to deduce where the user lives, where they are right now, and whether they are an FBI informant

huh? why would that be one of the logical consequences on Bumble? I'm so confused... as if every other profile is from the FBI.
