We should institutionalize sabbatical culture. Seed a $10K inflation-adjusted investment account at birth—S&P 500-indexed, tax-free, government-backed. Every 5 years, Americans can draw from it for a 6-month offline sabbatical: no penalty, no stigma. A public investment in cognitive longevity, burnout prevention, and economic dynamism.

Heads up, party people:

An armed robbery crew is targeting late-night bargoers as they wait for Uber and Lyft rides at closing time in Wrigleyville and the Gold Coast.

Elon now bragging about destroying an $800 million/year agency that has returned $21 billion to consumers who've been screwed by banks, credit card companies, and payday lenders, and other scammers.

Get ready for the return of credit card late fees, overdraft penalties, and all kinds of new scams

12 ways to make friends as an adult,

(And why you should care):

In 2023, the U.S. Surgeon General highlighted an ongoing loneliness epidemic:
↳1 in 2 adults report experiencing loneliness
↳This includes young and old, rich and poor, introverts and extroverts

And he outlined loneliness's brutal impacts on health:
↳Increases anxiety and depression
↳29% increase in heart disease risk
↳50% increase in dementia risk
↳Mortality impact equal to smoking 15 cigarettes a day!

This isn't a problem unique to the United States.

Social isolation has been increasing globally,

And COVID made it worse.

In other words:

Making friends could literally save your life.

But it's hard as an adult!

Use this sheet for ideas on how to get past the initial awkwardness,

And expand your social circle.

You can start these THIS week.

It'll be worth it.

the right wing radicalization of high school and college aged men is truly one of the biggest crises in the us and it goes nearly completely unaddressed

It's been a pretty interesting 24 hours. I can’t even explain the feeling of walking into that arena in Philly yesterday, or that field out in Wisconsin earlier today, or our campaign’s largest rally tonight in Michigan.

I couldn't be prouder to be on this ticket and to help make Kamala Harris the next President of the United States.

I always hated that when I studied Physics, I had no intuition of what order I could study topics in, except linear.

The latest LLM use-case I love is feeding the Table of Contents of a textbook and asking it to create the dependency graph of topics!

Here are some: Physics
