@BriannaWu Do you know how many Gazan refugees entered egypt for free medical treatment?
I hope you’re probably paid to spread this vile propaganda. Otherwise you’re just evil

@Abdella6if Wondering if there is a hierarchy of sources from which the skills pull from in a specific order when a user asks a question?
For example I asked what’s the Hanafai ruling on X, and the first source what the Kuwaiti encyclopedia instead of the standard hanafi books!

@ronmortgageguy Is it likely that Gov will lift the ban on foreign purchasers, let in more immigrants, etc? Wouldn’t that change the flat prices situation?

@tobi @latentlamb Why are you full of hate? Have Palestinians done anything bad to you before?

The older you get, the more you realize luck is mostly exposure.

If you sit in the same place, have the same routine, talking to the same people, nothing new really happens.

You have to tackle the world to win.

Travel more. Talk to people. Try a breakfast spot. Post on social media. Start a side hustle or a hobby.

The world rewards motion. You don't find opportunity sitting still.

A massive advantage in life: Being a pleasure to deal with. Kind when others aren’t. Calm when things go sideways. Reliable under pressure. Intelligence alone is overrated. Be someone who lightens the load for folks around them. People value people who make their lives easier.

[Psychodynamic Observations @psychodynamobs]

When we see older adults spending hours each day scrolling through social media after retirement, the temptation is to call it a harmless habit or even a sign of healthy adaptation. I want to gently push back on that, because I think it deserves much more careful attention than that framing allows.

Retirement is not simply a lifestyle change. In fact for many people it’s a profound loss and sometimes a cascade of losses arriving all at once. The work role disappears, daily structure dissolves, colleagues drift away, spouses become ill or die and physical mobility declines.

The core psychological capacities that kept a person functioning, their ability to regulate self-esteem, to sustain meaningful relationships, to find purpose, to tolerate grief, are now under enormous strain. What social media offers in that context is not connection in any deep sense. It offers the appearance of connection at very low psychological cost. Quick validation, a glimpse of a grandchild’s photograph, a comment thread that creates the feeling of being seen without requiring the vulnerability of actually being known. In moderation that may provide some genuine comfort. But when it becomes the primary way someone organizes their emotional life, we need to ask what it is protecting them from.

Very often it is protecting them from mourning, from sitting with the losses, the diminishments, the fear of death and irrelevance that late life asks every one of us to face. The scrolling becomes a kind of defense, and like most defenses it works just well enough to prevent the deeper work from happening.

What makes this genuinely heartbreaking, rather than simply a technology problem, is that the culture surrounding these older adults has largely stopped offering real alternatives. Human beings evolved in conditions of tight, embodied, intergenerational community that is not a romantic notion but a biological reality, and the data on loneliness in late life confirms it. Retirement removes the last built-in social infrastructure most people have, and contemporary life has quietly dismantled most of what used to replace it.

Adult children live across the country. Neighborhoods no longer integrate their elders. Religious and civic communities have thinned. And into that void steps a technology designed, with considerable sophistication, to exploit the psychological needs that have been left unmet, the need for belonging, for status, for the feeling that one still matters.

The family members who worry that their elderly parent seems addicted to their phone are not wrong to worry, but the phone is not really the problem. The phone is where you end up when everything else has been taken away and no one has helped you grieve what you have lost or rebuild what a meaningful life might look like now.

Good therapeutic work with older adults does not lecture them about screen time. It goes underneath, into the attachment wounds that retirement has reopened, the identity questions that were never fully resolved, the grief that has been accumulating for years. That is slow, careful, relational work. It is the kind of work that actually restores someone to themselves, rather than simply managing their symptoms until the end.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ forgive me if I went on a rant.

Over the past 29 months the devastating, multilayered impact of Israel’s ongoing genocide has pushed Palestinian women and girls in the occupied Gaza Strip to the brink.

Women in Gaza are being denied the conditions needed to live and to give life safely.

If your child becomes a reader, about 80% of the education job is already done. That's my honest assessment after working in education for over thirty years. Everything else is secondary. Most parents think science education is important. Yes it is. But if you can't read the biology textbook, you're not going to learn biology.

Reading is the meta-skill that enables all other skills. History requires reading. Science requires reading. Even math increasingly requires reading as it becomes more sophisticated. The child who reads voraciously will figure out everything else. The child who doesn't will struggle with everything.

[Kenny Yu: Father killed in North York Gen Hospital @kenny_yu]

My father Peter Yu died in
NORTH YORK GENERAL HOSPITAL
of Toronto Canada on Sep 28
due to **unhandled cardiac tamponade** for over 72 hours. No telemetry. No oxygen.

he died in an empty ward with no one attended.

The doctors and the hopstials have no answers and they’re still rightfully harming people everyday!!

No one told my mom he was that severe until we learnt from the medical records.

My mom collapsed on the road to the hospital in a morning when she heard my father passed.

Up to date no mainstream media has covered.

@MattWalshBlog Have you seen how white Americans are treated in Saudi, Egypt, Jordan, UAE or Qatar?
Do you personally know 5 white Americans who faced any systematic racism in these countries?
You just went full stack ignorant
