We always talk about things that get worse with #Aging - but what about the things that get better? For example I feel that people become more confident and able to make faster decisions, especially about what they like or want to do. Can you think of anything else that improves with aging?

Trying to get ideas for a research fellowship proposal :)

Hey #fediFriends
Is there interest in monthly support crowdfunding @hosford42 to work on building a matchmaking platform for folks to find local connections of the fediverse community?

An interface to find #meatspaceFediFriends basically.

This is a brand new idea as per:

I see a lot of people concerned about #inequality. The only "good" reason to be concerned with it is based on a #fallacy; the fixed pie fallacy, or the idea that the amount of #wealth in the world is fixed.

The entire planet is vastly wealthier than it was a hundred or two hundred years ago. The amount of wealth is not fixed. Therefore, it does not follow that one person being #rich means another must be #poor.

Put another way, #poverty for one is not caused by the wealth of another.

Mila is the most precious thing I have; I don't want to lose it. 😔

It's -9 Fahrenheit in Sioux Falls - stay home if you can, stay inside if you can.

I'm going to order one of those heated outdoor cat houses for the strays I've been seeing in our back yard.

Chana Freedman, a member of the local Jewish Community, explains that she has heard chants of "Gas the Jews" at pro Palestinian marches and "global intafada" means every jew worldwide should be slaughtered

Intafada is an Arabic word it means "shaking off."
In context, it means uprising

Dementia is often associated with older people, but it doesn't just appear out of nowhere. @ScienceAlert has more, including how early risk factors start and continue throughout much of a person's life:

"Despite the good news, I continue to be deeply alarmed by the attitudes of white Christians generally and white evangelical Protestants in particular. I continue to be struck, as a social scientists, that it has become virtually impossible to write a survey question about immigration policy that is too harsh for white evangelicals to support."
