@manton late to this particular party - as part of the discover clean up - could we also create a way to separate mb users from ;the othersâ in profiles. When you see someone with 250 followers that you donât follow - but you ONLY want to follow MB users - you are forced to scroll through 250 records that are mostly NOT MB .. simply pushing MB users to the top would solve that as a first pass. Have raised this many times before - and generally it seems to be edge case john again - but I think would help the whole process for all.
My apologies - I got it wrong .. (my bold)
University of Michigan economist Justin Wolfers wrote: âThe US & Chinese trade negotiators have negotiated a handshake agreement to seek signoff to agree that a previously-agreed agreement was still their agreed upon agreement. (That agreement is not an agreement but a framework for seeking future agreements).â He added: âNotice that not only are we not getting a better deal, weâre not even getting back to where we were at the start of the Administration.â

Good evening. Itâs great to be in Manchester and back in the UK. Welcome to The Land of Hope and Dreams Tour. The mighty E Street Band is here tonight to call upon the righteous power of art, of music, of rock and roll in dangerous times.
In my home, the America I love, the America Iâve written about that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration.
Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experience to rise with us. Raise your voices against authoritarianism and let freedom ring.
Before âHouse of a Thousand Guitarsâ:
How we doing Manchester? All right?
The last check on power, after the checks and balances of government have failed, are the people, you and me. Itâs in the union of people around a common set of values. Now thatâs all that stands between democracy and authoritarianism.
So at the end of the day, all weâve really got is each other.
Before âMy City of Ruinsâ:
Now, thereâs some very weird, strange and dangerous shit going on out there right now.
In America, they are persecuting people for using their right to free speech and voicing their dissent. This is happening now.
In America, the richest men are taking satisfaction in abandoning the worldâs poorest children to sickness and death. This is happening now.
In my country, theyâre taking sadistic pleasure in the pain that they inflict on loyal American workers, theyâre rolling back historic Civil Rights legislation that led to a more just and plural society, theyâre abandoning our great allies and siding with dictators against those struggling for their freedom.
Theyâre defunding American universities that wonât bow down to their ideological demands. Theyâre removing residents off American streets and, without due process of law, are deporting them to foreign detention centers and prisons. This is all happening now.
A majority of our elected representatives have failed to protect the American people from the abuses of an unfit president and a rogue government.
They have no concern or idea of what it means to be deeply American. The America that Iâve sung to you about for 50 years is real, and regardless of its faults, is a great country with a great people.
So weâll survive this moment.
Now, I have hope because I believe in the truth of what the great American writer James Baldwin said. He said, in this world, there isnât as much humanity as one would like. But thereâs enough.
Letâs pray.

@amerpie got it. thanking.
