1. JB took a very proactive lead in helping keep Smol Acrobat entertained when I was working on paperwork this weekend and then played with them the whole time at the playground when we walked to the park.

An example? Just the one?? It should never be ok with us that police officers are literally above the law that they claim to enforce, all while never needing to even know what those laws are: Michigan case offers an example of how public trust suffers when police officers lie
A 1-year-old baby at age 80? Seems almost cruel for that kid. Robert De Niro, 80, Reflects on Life, Fatherhood, Family. They’re going to have to grapple with a parent aging, and presumably dying, at a much earlier age than most kids should expect.
South Dakota Lawmakers Vote Down Free School Lunches Bill. Honestly the cruelty of saying that feeding kids isn’t worth the cost…!!
The Long History of Long COVID and Other Chronic Illnesses. I am curious whether this has any links to my ME/CFS.
Friends in Texas: Criminals Impersonating State, Threatening to Seize Assets
This kind of creeps me out. So much money being funneled into this one thing for already highly privileged kids. Inventing the Perfect College Applicant For $120,000 a year, Christopher Rim promises to turn any student into Ivy bait.
Can we start believing that UBI works now?? Austin Gave Poor Families a Basic Income. It Changed Their Lives.
