new paper: the 2021 Child Tax Credit — which from July to Dec 2021 gave qualifying families up to $3,600 per child in auto monthly payments — not only appeared to “reduced child poverty by half” it also notably “improved the mental health of adults in the lowest-income families.”

So I haven't said anything about Elon Musk or Twitter because a) I am really trying to allocate my fucks given away from my areas of impotency, and b) the only appropriate commentary is gallows humor, and there are many people much funnier than me on the job.

Your annual reminder that Dr. King believed in guaranteed universal basic income that gave all people a dignified life, guaranteed housing for all, guaranteed access to a high quality education, & said that “no one should be forced to live in poverty while others live in luxury.”

If you've not seen this, you should. This is what solutions that value black lives and respect black autonomy look like: xitter.cf/JasonRomano/status/145…

The depth of my love for this brother, can only be matched by the depth of my pain learning of his loss. A immensely talented man with the ability to give voice to the human condition portraying the lives of those whose humanity is seldom elevated until he sings their truth.

Idk who needs this but I’ve seen a few startups fail because of founder burn out. I haven’t seen any startups fail because a founder took a couple days off.

Growing up in Silicon Valley, I’ve always had an interest in the psychology of the entrepreneur. I’ve worked clinically with founders for 11 years, and now, am one myself. There’s a unique psychological thread that runs through founders. I thought I’d share what that looks like.
