    The three month period of writing Stay Gold, America nearly broke me. I&#39;m not kidding. But it was all worth it, as I explain here. https://writethatblog.substack.com/p/jeff-atwood-on-technical-blogging

    The rich should stop thinking so much about &quot;how can I build a better Scrooge McDuck money bin to hoard money&quot; (aka CRTs, DAFs, etc) and a lot more about &quot;why not have my money out there doing something meaningful in the world?&quot; https://www.djublonskopf.com/2015/04/26/how-much-money-would-it-take-to-fill-scrooges-money-bin/

    I think it’s good to remind yourself – at any age – at every age – what you want to be when you grow up.

    For.. reasons.. I am making a wealth inequality playlist. I want songs that aren&#39;t TOO aggro and could be background-ish at an event, catchy, topical, without making themselves the center of attention. Here&#39;s what I have so far. Please parse this list and suggest along these lines, if you like. The O’Jays - For the Love of MoneyThe Flying Lizards - Money (That’s What I Want)Pink Floyd - MoneyPulp - Common PeopleWilliam Shatner / Ben Folds - Common PeopleStevie Wonder – Living For The Cit...

    @pixel@oldbytes.space not so, checks and balances. But they made a critical error in lifetime SCOTUS appointments and did not anticipate the system being gamed so hard, but then again, they always said they never wanted a party system and PARTICULARLY the only two party thunderdome.

    Silence can mean: I agree. I strongly disagree. I am indifferent. I am out of town. I am having technical problems. I don’t know how to address this sensitive issue. I am busy with other things. I did not notice your question. I did not realize that you wanted a response.
