What many people don't know: recent decades have seen incredible reductions in poverty. The poverty rate has *never before* been this low in human history.
What new data is now revealing: after the setback from Covid, poverty reduction now continues!

@LouiseGrimmer@sunriseon7@UTAS_@TSBE_UTAS@FulbrightAUS Contentious issue. If I had a choice I’d be a no but where are they going to exercise? I discussed dog ownership in personal finance class and things got tense. Hard the keep the emotion out of these conversations.
@erinomarakunz I have the same issue with two of my children. I don’t fight it. I let them go to school with unbrushed hair. Sanity is so much more important. Every fortnight or so we get the dreadlocks out but it’s back the next day.
"The era of global warming has ended. The era of global boiling has arrived.
The heat is unbearable, and the level of fossil fuel profits & climate inaction is unacceptable.
Humanity has unleashed destruction. This must not inspire despair, but action."

@LouiseGrimmer I love high fidelity!!! Jack Black is amazing in it. I can relate to the music snobbery I had at that time. Thankfully I’ve grown out of it
@ProfRetail@LouiseGrimmer My kids love watching pranks. It’s one of the things that makes me feel sick about social media. I don’t ever find them funny.
@LouiseGrimmer @IWD2023 Yeah honestly I felt a little bit sad all day. I couldn’t stop thinking about all the global women who are suffering right now. Those cupcake posts made me feel like they were missing the point.
But one thing is for sure: ["AI" is] a marketing term. Right now it’s a hot one. And at the FTC, one thing we know about hot marketing terms is that some advertisers won’t be able to stop themselves from overusing and abusing them.

@WanderingRohan Regardless of the job market I’ll never regret my PhD. It gave my brain new life and fresh perspective on how I see myself. It’s worth fighting for.
