It looks (tentatively) like the new At-Home-Parents plan does have a work test–one parent in the household must work. “Under the proposed rule changes, the [money] would also be used to pay married parents … when one parent works and the other cares for the child. … Single parents who do not work are currently not eligible for the subsidy, nor would they be under the new proposal for married couples.” https://t.co/q3DSCha1KB

Do the lawsuits against Fox really help explain Bartiromo’s punishment? Usually in an ongoing lawsuit (as Smartmatic is) you do NOT fire the reporters/anchors involved, lest they cooperate with the other side and say that e.g. Fox suits egged her on https://t.co/NEOoQawwHj

Is it accepted that opposition to data centers isn’t just opposition to data centers (eg noise, energy consumption) but opposition to the AI world they’ll bring? Proponents desperately need a better campaign to persuade the public they want to live in that world. Start with curing cancer. But even that’s not enough if there are no jobs. Needs an effective spokesperson–less Sam Altman, more Carl Sagan. (Forget Trump, who polarizes and seems to have forgotten about the need to persuade voters about his big decisions).

Something very calculated & vague about this graf. Was he shoved down steps … by ICE? … in his childhood? Where was “the graze” from?: “But then, last night, I trip on the stairs – nothing in itself, I am clumsy. But something in me, as I fall, remembers being shoved down steps. I reach for the graze on my forehead, and weep for an hour like an old woman.” https://t.co/gm08wYZWAB
