Opinion | How Smartphones Are Breeding a New Kind of Inequality - The New York Times

As Dr. Wolf points out, literacy and poverty have long been correlated. Now poor kids spend more time on screens each day than rich ones โ€” in one 2019 study, about two hours more per day for U.S. tweens and teenagers whose families made less than $35,000 per year, compared with peers whose household incomes exceeded $100,000. Research indicates that kids who are exposed to more than two hours a day of recreational screen time have worse working memory, processing speed, attention levels, language skills and executive function than kids who are not.

in reply to Sir Matt

No. Donโ€™t let a company drive you to consider your life span. You have fought to keep your life going. Stand strong, Give them a call when you get a moment and demand why they canโ€™t correct your account.

Tell them clearly โ€œyou absolutely dispute this account balanceโ€ This is important. Ask for a hospital ombudsman for billing. Donโ€™t give them a chance to hit your credit rating.

You can do this.

Tenkyuu Day (10/9)

It's the day of the cute market goddess whose silly cards have caused several incidents past what she intended. Poor girl never realized the full consequences of what she chose to do. She's a good girl nonetheless. All she wanted was for people to partake in fair trade marketplaces where profit is foregone in favor of good will and friendly interactions.

youtube.com/watch?v=lofUjHGYz1โ€ฆ A nice and energetic track for the opening of the grand marketplace. For the market goddess, it's a festival like no other.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to every person in the world who raised the concerns of Gaza, supported it, supported it with words, pictures, or humane behavior.
I wish Anas Al-Sharif could see these moments.
Thank you to those
- who did not give up,
- who cut.
- who stood in solidarity.
- who prayed.
- who cried silently for us

To every heart that beat with Gaza in the most difficult moments.
You are the highest position, the true face of the nation.

Remember that lady with the .4 BAC? My wife just sent me this:

That crazy lady with the .4 BAC was in an accident again while intoxicated. Had no license or insurance. Hit another vehicle and was fined $750 and has to do 12 hrs at an intoxicated driver resource center and has to have an interlock device installed in her vehicle for 3 months. She must know someone in high places. Thatโ€™s BS

Politically and emotionally I am on the far left. I believe that every human is entitled to respect and that they have inalienable rights. I believe that it is only with mutual support that society can function to the benefit of all. I believe that we should be compassionate, caring and deeply invested in the welfare of others, not just those close to us, but all others. I believe that extreme disparities in wealth are corrosive. I hold these beliefs proudly. My beliefs are being demonised.
in reply to Just Tom...

It endlessly surprises me how fragile compassionate values were. I've seen most of the older generation of my family falling to the propaganda of hate and division. Even my aunt who throughout my childhood was the rebellious progressive recently forwarded a far right meme propagating the lie that our government cares more for immigrants than the old. I just can't understand how people can't see how they are being pervasively nudged to slowly lose their humanity.
in reply to TenPastTwo

Scratch the average liberal, and an authoritarian bleeds-- because it's always been just under the surface. Slavery and aristocracy were never truly abolished. We overthrew kings who ruled by divine virtue of their bloodlines, only to trade those tyrants for the kind crowned by divine virtue of their wallets. The habitual pattern of dominance and submission kept cranking, with a pretty veneer of freedom and equality painted on top.

People have to learn to let go of the fantasy of a kinder gentler police state and strike out on the journey to abolition of oppression on a fundamental, radical level-- or they'll keep inadvertently reverting to the same old patterns of exploitative subjugation over and over again.

๐Ÿšจ Hier soir, Nicolas Sarkozy a organisรฉ une fรชte somptueuse avant son incarcรฉration.

Et ce nโ€™est pas parce que tous les conseillers police-justice dโ€™Emmanuel Macron รฉtaient ร  cette soirรฉe quโ€™il y a eu des effets de collusion.

"Melania Trump launched her own meme coin, $MELANIA, just days after her husbandโ€™s token debuted. It โ€œinitially soared to $13.73 per token โ€ฆ Within weeks, the coin dropped nearly 90 percent to $1.50,โ€ Newsweek reported. Once again, it wasnโ€™t Melania Trump who bore the cost, but small investors. After $MELANIA lost 96% of its value, Indiaโ€™s Economic Times described it as โ€œa case study in crypto red flags.โ€

Des organisations de dรฉfense des droits de lโ€™homme ont dรฉposรฉ une nouvelle pรฉtition devant le tribunal administratif israรฉlien de Jรฉrusalem occupรฉe pour demander lโ€™annulation du plan de colonisation E1, un projet israรฉlien prรฉvoyant la construction de 3 400 logements entre Jรฉrusalem et la colonie de Maโ€™ale Adumim.

Le plan, dรฉnoncรฉ par la communautรฉ internationale, sรฉparerait Jรฉrusalem-Est du reste de la Cisjordanie et diviserait la Cisjordanie en deux blocs, rendant impossible toute continuitรฉ territoriale pour un futur ร‰tat palestinien. Les ONG affirment quโ€™il sโ€™agit dโ€™un nettoyage ethnique dรฉguisรฉ, destinรฉ ร  dรฉplacer de force les communautรฉs palestiniennes vivant dans la zone E1 depuis des dรฉcennies.

La pรฉtition souligne que ces dรฉcisions violent le droit international humanitaire, qui interdit le transfert forcรฉ de populations sous occupation, et accuse Israรซl dโ€™instrumentaliser la planification urbaine ร  des fins politiques, tout en refusant aux Palestiniens le droit au dรฉveloppement, au logement, ร  lโ€™รฉducation et ร  la santรฉ.

Les plaignants dรฉnoncent aussi la discrimination structurelle : les projets israรฉliens sont approuvรฉs rapidement, tandis que les besoins essentiels des Palestiniens sont ignorรฉs. Enfin, la mise en ล“uvre du plan aggraverait la crise du logement ร  Jรฉrusalem-Est et isolerait des quartiers comme Issawiya.

En conclusion, les ONG demandent au tribunal de suspendre immรฉdiatement le plan E1, quโ€™elles considรจrent comme un coup fatal ร  la solution ร  deux ร‰tats et un crime de guerre selon le droit international.
