@DeepVellum Thanks for this very thoughtful way to prepare for an epic literary reading experience I'm looking forward to reading Schattenfroh and appreciate the leads here to context that will help inform my read. Great things here!

What's in @DUALIPA's bag when asked by @voguemagazine? Why, a Charco book, of course!

See the full video, including this lovely shoutout for NOT A RIVER by Selva Almada (tr. Annie McDermott) and for Charco itself, here: https://t.co/9U5e2i6vMD

Dear @CityMinneapolis it's nice that we're using our tax dollars and fed government funding to fix our roads and bridges, but doing so, all at the same time, without considering residents who commute seems like an abuse of authority. #romenotbuiltinadayorasummer

A CEO earning $20M/yr pays Social Security taxes on ~1% of their income due to the cap on the payroll tax.

In fact, they stopped paying into SS last week.

Meanwhile, the typical worker pays SS taxes on 100% of their income for the entire year.

It's time to scrap the cap.

@FischbachCre8 I'm reading (slowly through) the @ModernLibrary Hays translation of Mediations by Marcus Aurelius right now. You'll find some excellent information there on forgiveness, both for yourself and others and how mercy plays different.
