Today's must read from @gbilder
"Pick an infrastructure organization you depend on.
If they have not endorsed POSI, ask them why.
If they have endorsed POSI, read their self-assessments with the same scrutiny you would a research paper you were about to cite or a contract you were about to sign.
If they haven’t updated their POSI self-assessment in more than a year, ask them why.
I’ve created a dashboard to help with this." 🔥 🔥 🔥
KFC’s digital pet has you taking care of fried chicken.
Following McDonald’s in China releasing a Tetris-playing nugget last year, KFC in Spain has created a Tamagotchi-like digital pet called the Eduardochi. It was originally sold through KFC’s website and app, but starting on December 3rd it will be available through KFC’s restaurants across Spain for €3.99 (around $4.20) with many of them hopefully ending up on eBay.
This is today!

But it's about the economy — always. It's always about the price of eggs:
In his book The End of White Christian America, Robert P. Jones notes (pp. 86-7) that Public Religion Research Institute surveyed Americans in 2015 to ask, “Since the 1950s, do you think American culture and way of life has mostly changed for the better, or has it mostly changed for the worse?”

“The question of whether American culture has gone downhill since the 1950s divides Americans overall, with a majority (53 percent) saying it has changed mostly for the worse, compared to 46 percent who say it has changed mostly for the better. But we can see stark cleavages by race and religion."

"More than seven in ten (72) percent white evangelical Protestants and nearly six in ten (58 percent) white mainline Protestants say American culture and way of life has changed for the worse since the 1950s. Roughly six in ten white Catholics (58 percent) agree with their fellow white Christians that American culture has changed for the worse since the 1950s."

"Meanwhile, approximately six in ten Hispanic Catholics (59 percent) say the opposite – that American culture has changed for the better. Approximately six in ten (63 percent) religiously unaffiliated Americans also say American culture and way of life has changed for the better since the mid-twentieth century, as do majorities of African American Protestants (55 percent)."

"Overall, the pattern is unambiguous: most white Christians – along with groups in which they constitute a majority, like the Tea Party – believe that America is on a downhill slide, while strong majorities of most other groups in the country say things are improving” (p. 87)."
But it's about the economy — always. It's NEVER about race and gender, racism and misogyny. It's about the price of eggs.

"Its about the Economy"
The problem with Capitalism is "WHO" is holding the playing cards
The Federal Reserve Banking System was established by the Wilson Administration in 1913-14
Wilson said of it when leaving office, "it was the dirtiest deed ever done to the American Public"
Bankers have always wanted to control the currency
Lincoln is the days before the Civil War was approached by the Banks to CUT A DEAL
Lincoln decided to Create the "Green Backs"& have all money the same
One white evangelical experience that is not shared with the majority of Americans is regular attendance at white evangelical churches listening to preachers tell them that America has failed and that they are called by God to repair and redeem the nation, a message often expressed in deliberately partisan political language.
We can complain all we want about right-wing media but, meanwhile, we are subsidizing thousands of churches that buttress anti-democratic emotions and resolve.
It's socially acceptable to talk economics and not acceptable to talk about mental health, equity, etc.
White people's psychological roles are threatened but saying so isn't allowed so they substitute the word "job" for "role" and pretend that's what they mean until even they've forgotten how to say the names of their real grievances.
They don't have a vocabulary
The Ole concept of Tabula Rassa is the only page, and its empty?
Religion is a learned experience
Its got a great big hook, just like the Bible says " I will make you a fisher of Men"
So Ya Wanna Believe ?
Seems the willingness of mankind to invent a GOD is indeed limitless
"God is all powerful & all knowing"
O.K. stop right there ! Man isn't !
Wait for the Inspiration...Maybe
Or Not
This seems like a good thing to do. Review books you’ve read in a year along the way and then a final list at the end.
I have not read as many books but I have still read a few. Like @pluralistic I have started and abandoned a few books along the way too. So most of the books I’ve finished are recommendations enough.
I will come out with my list of recommendations later.
