@braveben Funny my personal experience is the opposite. GLP forced me to look very carefully at what I was eating because it was limited. I thought I had been eating well but only through careful tracking understood how unbalance my diet had become.

Healthy foods are the unexpected casualty of GLP weight loss drugs. You can just eat whatever you want and be thin now so why choke down $20 salads?

@carlbass @FGehry I was also saddened by this. His initial sketches were so inspirational to me. Not defining detail but capturing the idea with a few lines and some crumpled up paper. Have taken this to product design and management through my career.

RIP @FGehry A good man, friend and architect who changed the world for the better. You will be missed

@braveben This is an amazing step in financial literacy as well as an initial head start.

@elipariser @WeAreNew_Public @deeptidoshi Decline of local news has been disastrous. In my city of Richmond CA we no longer have a local news source and Nextdoor, twitter etc is weak at best.

@lukalil @amyjokim Shouldn’t the owners of a community and the members a community be one and the same? It seems like making a distinction is using the “feeling” of community for individual gain.

A successful community serves a clear purpose in the lives of its members and meets the fundamental goals of its owners. @amyjokim - Community Building on the Web
