I grew up on food stamps and free school lunches. I remember going to food pantries and walking out with peanut butter and shelf-stable cheese in stark white containers with black lettering.
I didn't always like what we had to eat (I hated peanut butter!), but I was lucky enough to never go hungry.
"The founder of a startup business that helps employers and parents with parental leave is asking whether it's fair that parents are taxed as individuals.
Stephanie Pow said she regularly helped parents navigate their entitlements, including Working for Families and Family Boost.
All of these supports are assessed on the basis of household income.
But when it came to tax, that is applied on an individual basis."

Benefits should be individual too.
@tim
> Either option would be better than the status quo for households
Cool. So consider the situation of a solo Dad who starts dating someone with a job. WINZ gets wind of this, declares they're now "in a relationship", and means tests his benefit entitlements against her income and assets.
Now he either has to break up with a woman he may have only just started seeing, or depend on her to support him and her kids. She has an equally stark choice.
Individual entitlements are the way.

There's something that didn't really crystallise for me for a long time, which I think I might have learned from Bob Harper implicitly, not sure.
If you like someone's research and want to emulate it, it is more important to read the things that they had *read* than to read the things that they had *written*.
Obviously you should read it all, but I often run into people who are banging their heads against something I wrote when I was just a beginner in a topic trying to understand it myself, and they would be a lot better off reading whatever I had been reading at the time. (A good way to figure out what someone had been reading is to look at the bibliography in their paper or note!)
@lindsey @slava The times I've really tried to map an area for my own interest relied very heavily on tools! Google scholar, semantic scholar, etc.
Lately I'm really enjoying inciteful.xyz -- for any given citation graph it also shows a bunch of canned derived queries: prominent authors, journals and institutions, most-cited survey papers that cover the most of the graph, key papers and recent papers, etc. etc.

4 NOVEMBRE 1918: la fine della “grande guerra”… ma non delle guerre
Nel 2018 il collettivo Wu Ming scriveva che le celebrazioni del centenario mostravano che «l'Italia e l’Europa avevano più che mai bisogno di anticorpi antimilitaristi, di diserzione e di rifiuto di ogni intruppamento. Perché quella del “continente sul cui suolo non si sarebbero più combattute guerre” era una fòla…»

I'm guessing that @sundogplanets is not going to be too pleased with this one-sided #BBC article which breathlessly parrots the boosterism for 40+ paragraphs before timidly suggesting that "Some, however, do not agree".

I'm weirdly resigned to the US having a major financial meltdown—stock market crash, bank runs, liquidity crisis, AI bubble pop,maybe all that&more!
If not now, in the middle of the shutdown & Trump-caused hunger crisis, then soon.
I can't see us destroying fascism before they crash...everything.
I'm ready to #FAFO on that. The current shutdown is good training -- we're going to have to support each other during the meltdown.
More Occupy. Less Tea Party racism.
I agree that all of this is good "training"—the word I would use is "opportunity"
Use the SNAP cutoff to lay the foundation of connection between neighbors, building community, building social agreement about feeding everyone.
We'll need that consensus when we have people in power who will implement universal right to food (because of public demand).
Many of the mutual aid networks deployed rn were built off the early part of the pandemic.
I've been saying this from the jump:

I'm thinking about changing how the "Reveal" system works in #TiledWords and I could use your feedback!
Currently:
- You get 3 reveals per puzzle
- Clicking the (?) next to a clue reveals the entire word
This is useful as an escape hatch but is "all or nothing" and not very fun.
I'm considering increasing the number of reveals (to 4 or 5) but making them less powerful. Here are a couple of options:
1. A reveal exposes the first and last letter. Revealing the same word a second time exposes the whole word.
2. A reveal exposes every other letter. (Second reveal shows everything.)
What do y'all think? How should reveals work? Thanks!

in reply to Aleen • • •The Trump administration's refusal to pay SNAP benefits is galling to me on a very personal level.
I can't change their minds. I don't have billions of dollars to give to people who need help. But I can do some good. Will you join me in donating to your local food pantry?
If you want to tell me how much you've donated, J and I will contribute that amount to United Food Bank (up to $1000). We're matching $200 in donations so far!

in reply to Aleen • • •Don't live in the US? Donate to your local food pantry anyway! I'm sure they can use the help no matter where you are.
Everyone deserves to eat.
