I think the ‘🔗 start page’ is there, though I still need to fill in some of the pages on the click through.
I get what Doug Belshaw writes at a big picture level, but thinking of income without the context of cost of living is not useful and maybe misleading.
To quote his quote …
People at Income Level 4 earn more than $32 a day. At this Income Level, we find thee richest billion on the planet, who work in jobs that typically require at least 12 years of education – something those on the lower Income Levels cannot currently aspire to.
If you earn $32 each and every day in the good ol' USA - you are earning $11,680 per year - $1,000 per month which is not going to go too far by my calculations.
🔗 Jeopardy! - What’s changing amid writers' strike
What’s changing? Nothing. Same old same old - just repeated and remixed. Sounds like a recipe for massive success.
BUT - in light of this - I wonder if writers will want to return to the format when we are all done and dusted?

CNN has a very different definition for ‘robust’ than I do.
From one of my sources for balanced, considered reason.
As I try to cover the news tonight, I am struck by how completely the Republican Party, which began in the 1850s as a noble endeavor to keep the United States government intact and to rebuild it to work for ordinary people, has devolved into a group of chaos agents feeding voters a fantasy world.

Related: Jeremy Vaught registered the @music account on Twitter 16 years ago, and had posted to it frequently. He is a paying Twitter Blue subscriber. And X Corp just took the handle from him, like they did to the guy who had @x. This company is a great and trustworthy partner for individual creators.
The Account in question.
Fucker.
🔗 Nick Cave - The Red Hand Files - Issue #248
In the story of the creation, God makes the world, and everything in it, in six days. On the seventh day he rests. The day of rest is significant because it suggests that the creation required a certain effort on God’s part, that some form of artistic struggle had taken place. This struggle is the validating impulse that gives God’s world its intrinsic meaning. The world becomes more than just an object full of other objects, rather it is imbued with the vital spirit, the pneuma, of its creator.
