Marshmallows Dropped from Helicopter Ahead of Easter Sunday in Trenton, Michigan
An annual marshmallow drop event took place this morning at Elizabeth Park in Trenton, Michigan, during which marshmallows were dropped from a helicopter onto a grassy field in the park
Kids collected marshmallows from the field and could then turn the collected marshmallows in for a prize
Chicago has a public school that's 97% empty.
Not a single child is proficient in reading.
They spend more than $90,000 per student per year.
The government school system has become more of a jobs program for adults than an education initiative for kids.
@SimonettiLauren@SecretaryWright I don’t know who said it, but gas has always been tacky on the way down. Zip up overnight and then takes months to retract.
@C_3C_3 Hospice was changed to accept new diagnosis codes. It was set for end of life but added Alzheimer's dementia and other codes that are not end of life care but managed care. Hospice cost reports are not auditable - straight to settlement. So much fraud.
@OlgaBazova Must be nice to sit in Poland knowing this same force will protect your sorry asses. We should not sell any more arms to the EU ingrates. I wish the USA would have left Poland and the other countries under Soviet control as useless as they are. Poland is free due to the Cold War.

@HarveyWall8angR List here the German aircraft carriers....oh yes zero.....German pansy asses protected by the US - enjoy being majority muslim in 2 generations
JUST OUT: The colonial strategy in the Middle East is unravelling as expected: it is spiralling out of control, down the drain. Except in the case of the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford, which is overflowing.

@DagnyTaggart963 You guys should worry about your own continent and leaders.....you guys are cooked with Islam taking over in the next generation and all you do is bitch about the Orange Man Bad.....
@BmbEmpower not America - just the loser democrats - if all the dems who voted for Biden in 2020 would have voted for Kamala she would have won!! Its the dems!
OPINION: America is afraid of Black women in leadership. It’s becoming impossible to ignore.
Again and again, the country invents excuses while ignoring the narrow, strategic road Black women are forced to walk just to move from point A to point B and still deliver for their communities.
Their very existence challenges the white power structure in this country.
Election after election, we watch America play in Black women’s faces.
It is exhausting.
And it is a shame.
It’s especially a shame when the hate comes from members of the same party and Black community. 🤦🏾♂️
Keep standing tall Jasmine, Stacey and Kamala ✊🏾

@TrumanDem@nancyayoussef@Obamacare and you moronic dems could have released the epstein files anytime you wanted in the 4 years of Biden, but no you didn't, did you.
we're making @blocks smaller today. here's my note to the company.
####
today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are being asked to leave or entering into consultation. i'll be straight about what's happening, why, and what it means for everyone.
first off, if you're one of the people affected, you'll receive your salary for 20 weeks + 1 week per year of tenure, equity vested through the end of may, 6 months of health care, your corporate devices, and $5,000 to put toward whatever you need to help you in this transition (if you’re outside the U.S. you’ll receive similar support but exact details are going to vary based on local requirements). i want you to know that before anything else. everyone will be notified today, whether you're being asked to leave, entering consultation, or asked to stay.
we're not making this decision because we're in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. but something has changed. we're already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. and that's accelerating rapidly.
i had two options: cut gradually over months or years as this shift plays out, or be honest about where we are and act on it now. i chose the latter. repeated rounds of cuts are destructive to morale, to focus, and to the trust that customers and shareholders place in our ability to lead. i'd rather take a hard, clear action now and build from a position we believe in than manage a slow reduction of people toward the same outcome. a smaller company also gives us the space to grow our business the right way, on our own terms, instead of constantly reacting to market pressures.
a decision at this scale carries risk. but so does standing still. we've done a full review to determine the roles and people we require to reliably grow the business from here, and we've pressure-tested those decisions from multiple angles. i accept that we may have gotten some of them wrong, and we've built in flexibility to account for that, and do the right thing for our customers.
we're not going to just disappear people from slack and email and pretend they were never here. communication channels will stay open through thursday evening (pacific) so everyone can say goodbye properly, and share whatever you wish. i'll also be hosting a live video session to thank everyone at 3:35pm pacific. i know doing it this way might feel awkward. i'd rather it feel awkward and human than efficient and cold.
to those of you leaving…i’m grateful for you, and i’m sorry to put you through this. you built what this company is today. that's a fact that i'll honor forever. this decision is not a reflection of what you contributed. you will be a great contributor to any organization going forward.
to those staying…i made this decision, and i'll own it. what i'm asking of you is to build with me. we're going to build this company with intelligence at the core of everything we do. how we work, how we create, how we serve our customers. our customers will feel this shift too, and we're going to help them navigate it: towards a future where they can build their own features directly, composed of our capabilities and served through our interfaces. that's what i'm focused on now. expect a note from me tomorrow.

When Bitcoin is "crashing" but you still have the same amount of Bitcoin as yesterday.
Nothing left your wallet. The network is still running. Miners are still hashing. Blocks are still clearing.
A crash doesn't test Bitcoin. It tests your conviction. If a price drop shakes you out, you never had a thesis.
If you're staring at your portfolio in dollars right now, remember what you're measuring with. The dollar has lost 97% of its value since 1913.
If you believed in it at $125k, a lower price is a better deal. Not a reason to leave.
The crash didn't lose you money. Selling during it would.
