If you, like countless* others, like the idea of a Friday newsletter with some #takes + a little roundup about all that's fit to print in the world of pro-family policy (construed expansively), you'll want to sign up: PTBwrites.substack.com *they can, actually, be counted

@hausfath And there were articles run that specifically described RCP 8.5 as “a projection of where emissions will go if no new substantial policy is passed to restrain greenhouse gas emissions” when in fact the originating documents never said that. vox.com/2015/5/15/8612…

“Having a personal mobile device at too early an age and using it without adult supervision can exacerbate young people's vulnerabilities, foster addiction and expose them to isolation, bullying and cyberbullying, as well as to pressures to share intimate images or sensitive information.” @Pontifex in #MagnificaHumanitas

“The Church does not claim to assume the functions belonging to the State. On the contrary, she esteems those who serve the common good, and she firmly acknowledges the responsibility that civil institutions hold within society.” (§21)

“Recognizing that God upholds the freedom of men and women in the unfolding of history, the Second Vatican Council affirmed the distinction between the ecclesial community and the political community, emphasizing that each must operate with full autonomy….

AI this, AI that, so much to delve into, but the real fun subplot in today’s encyclical is the big ol’ “nope, we’re not doing that” delivered to our postliberal/integralist friends

Abundance is great and we should build more housing and vibrant metros but a wealthier America with 400 million people will have much higher prices for courtside seats, Super Bowl/Taylor Swift tickets, etc.
Darren Rovell@darrenrovell

The first two courtside seats have sold for the first Knicks Finals home game at Madison Square Garden in 27 years. Someone purchased TWO seats on StubHub for.... $279,804! I have confirmed the sale.

Of all the “protect kids from the internet” ideas, the one I like the sound of most is France’s 10pm internet curfew for teens. It sounds so ridiculous, but actually addresses one of the big collective action problems in a pretty low cost way. Curious to see how it goes for them.

🚨 US House Energy/Commerce Committee today amended the Sunshine Protection Act into the Motor Vehicle Modernization Act. If approved by Congress, it would mandate permanent Daylight Saving Time in all states that don’t self-exempt in advance, with no option for exemption after taking effect. 🧐 Permanent DST is a mandate to start work/school an hour earlier than Standard Time in unnatural darkness all winter. It would put sunrise in most states past 8am for 3+ months, and past 8:45am for 1+ weeks. It chronically deprives sleep, decreases productivity (by 5%), and increases illnesses and accidents (by 20%). It was last implemented in the US in 1974 and repealed the same year following deaths and disruptions to commerce. 👉 Tell your US House reps asap to amend MVMA (H.R.7389) to remove SPA (H.R.139) or to reword for nationwide restoration of permanent Standard Time with a clearer option for the minority of states to choose unhealthy/unsafe permanent DST by advancement of their own time zones if so strongly desired (though why DST proponents don’t simply start their own days an hour early remains boggling).
