I'm starting to hang where the sky is always cerulean. Please give me a follow! I will follow back (I'm trying to find all my friends from The Bad Place, but it's hard for my ADHD brain to do that kind of manual, boring task.)

Same handle. (I'm tamimforman almost everywhere.)

@likaluca The subhede is literally "Operator, a new computer-using tool from OpenAI, is brittle and occasionally erratic, but it points to a future of powerful A.I. agents."

Will be great, if it works!

Why is the media hyping this stuff? Why?? It's all nonsense.

[TamiMForman @TamiMForman]

@likaluca I mean. I was listening to it yesterday morning and, while listening!, saw this story in NYT.

My fave line is “it often takes being helped for us to be most helpful.” My Five Themes for 2025 by Tami M. Forman @TamiMForman https://t.co/gyuDsrpIji

The details can be found in my newsletter, How We Do It. {Link in my bio}

Happy New Year! We're 9 days in and it's already been a lot. As the curse goes, "May you live in interesting times." Indeed.

I have my plans for the year, but I wanted to put out something that is more about the attitude and energy I'm bringing to 2025.

[TamiMForman @TamiMForman]

Here they are:
1. Ask for help.
2. Put positivity into the universe.
3. Be generous.
4. Let go.
5. Build community.

What's on your mind this year? What energy are you bringing to 2025?

[TamiMForman @TamiMForman]

They also have a universal health system that charges premiums based on income.

What are we doing here?

Japan has about ⅒ the obesity rate of the United States: https://t.co/ji28ENA1jy

That’s why Japanese people live a decade longer than Americans, on average.

[TamiMForman @TamiMForman]

Must read for data and economics nerds.

Possibly America's favorite peak millennial.

@jeannasmialek I loved this article so much. I had no idea it started out as a phone service! Truly wild.

@franklinleonard The incoherence is deliberate. It makes trying to debate them an exercise in shadow boxing.

1. It doesn't exist, unless you are rich. This is not "being a trad wife." This is "being rich." This is like posting a photo of Marie Antoinette and asking why any woman would work when she could just be Marie Antoinette.

2. Being a SAHM is work. It is a full time job. It is 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for like 18+ years.

3. This presumes that women "choose" to have jobs. Do men "choose" to have jobs? Why are they working 9-5s and not just being Henry VIII?

[TamiMForman @TamiMForman]

You cannot have the things you want from regulations (safe food, clean water, clean air, safe products) without some burdens on business. There are better and worse ways to regulate, of course, but the idea that you can have one without the other is unserious thinking.

[Jane Coaston 🏔️ @janecoaston]

Landon, do you have a plan as to how you would write regulations that were simultaneously "strict" but not "over burdening" with regard to food regulations in a country with 50 states and nearly 400 million people

[Jane Coaston 🏔️ @janecoaston]

Like at a base level "we are going to deregulate everything" and "we are going to get all the chemicals out of the food" are inherently contradictory.

[TamiMForman @TamiMForman]

@RachelBitecofer Sometimes the most galling part is that it just seems to be a big joke to them. “Thousands of people could lose their jobs, thousands more could lose benefits, but the merch will be lit!” The unseriousness is just so appalling.

[TamiMForman @TamiMForman]

This word has started popping up more and more and it’s very disturbing. As a kid who grew up in the 80s in Boston this word was hard to eliminate from my vocabulary but now it sits in the category of “slur I would never utter.” Not sure why that’s not a widely held view.

[Arlan 👊🏾 @ArlanWasHere]

Jason. Why do you keep using this degrading term in your tweets? It’s juvenile. You’re a grown man. I’m reminding you because you obviously are not fully aware. Stop being an absolute dick.

[emily may @emilykmay]

two things can be true: it is not your child's responsibility to give you a grandchild, and you are allowed to be sad about it.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

It’s not that they think they wouldn’t be confirmed, at least not in most cases. It’s that they want to plant a big flag early that there will be no transparency or oversight of Trump's wishes and power. Everything will be like this.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

"Still, it wasn’t the Democratic party that nominated Trump three times. It wasn’t Democrats who shied away from the fight against Trump. It’s the Republican party that has deeply, catastrophically, perhaps decisively failed America this past decade."
