The goal is to make this pod appointment drop ins

The Nightly Lid: 3.23.23 - Today we talked Media. The most popular piece was about the DOJ & TikTok. I'd be shocked if no major changes happen. If you like the conversations in this pod follow/converse/echo. Tell a friend or 20. Remember to be good to someone tonight, if only yourself.

Let's Talk About -Dan Price. Lordy Mercy, this was a dude I followed on Twitter. You never know the demons folks hide behind good deeds.

Let's Talk About - Keith Olbermann. I miss this dude. Brilliant & crazy af. Too talented to be sidelined for as long as he has been. He, more than anyone, not named Brian Williams built MSNBC. He's right about Licht & Scarborough.

Let's Talk About - Chris Licht. I'd be shocked if Licht makes it through this calendar year. He's simply been awful at this job.

Let's Talk About - Sean Hannity. I can make more of a journalism claim than Sean Hannity. He's a Political Pundit. He shouldn't be given the protection that journalists are afforded.

Let's Talk About - DirecTV & NewsMax. That didn't last long.

Let's Talk About - Good Feed. I wasn't aware of this until last month. I like what they are doing.

Let's Talk About - Amazon Go. We tried to tell y'all. But know you thought Amazon was doing you a favor with this Amazon Go feature. We are a stupid species.

Let's Talk About - Rep. Jamal Bowman. Bruh, what is u doing. This isn't the hill sir. To be fair I'm a Liberal, and Bowman's politics are to the left of mine on some issues. Still this is problematic. And could bite him in the ass.

#sme #jamalbowman #tiktok #nytimes

Let's Talk About- TikTok. There is zero chance this information isn't being shared with Chinese officials. What they decide to do with it is the core issue. Unfortunately, China hasn't proven to be very forthcoming with the truth.

#sme #socialmedia #tiktok #nytimes

Let's Talk About - ChatBot biases: I'm not surprised by this. And it confirms that these ChatBots are being programmed with biases from the engineers. I'm almost certain their are racial biases as well.

#sme #technology #chatbots #nytimes

Let's Talk About - Twitter & Music Licensing. Does everything this dude get involved with turn to shit? How can he be so bad at basic shit? I literally can't think of one thing he's gotten involved with that is better afterward.

Inspirational Vitamin for Today

Dear Lord- Today, let's focus on telling the truth. About who we are, what we feel, what we want. Folks might not like it, but they can't say you weren't truthful. These words I humbly submit to you. Amen.

Good Morning Family.

The Nightly Lid: 3.22.23 - Today we talked Health. The most popular piece was how racism addects the mental health of Black folks. It's exhausting af. If you like the conversations in this pod follow/converse/echo. Tell a friend or 20. Remember to be good to someone tonight, if only yourself.

Let's Talk About - Men paying six figures to get taller. This sounds extremely painful.

#sme #health #gq

Let's Talk About - Tradwives. As Black folks would say, this white people shit. I'd venture to say most Black folks grew up in households where both parents worked. In most cases, it was required to make ends meet and get ahead.

Let's Talk About - Systemic & Institutional Racism. The damage that systemic and institutional racism has caused on People of Color is not easily calculated. It's also exhausting af.

#sme #mentalhealth #SystemicRacism #theculture #popsugar

Let's Talk About - This piece from Imani. You have to listen to your body and advocate for your health. We also need to get very real about racism in medicine. It's costing folks their lives.

#sme #healthnews #painmanagement #medicalracism #imaniperry #nytimes

Let's Talk About - Big Pharma. I'm okay with Big Pharma tweaking a formula & getting a patent for the tweak. The patent for the original needs to expire tho.

#sme #health #BigPharma #patents #Time

Let's Talk About - Drug Prices. There is something wrong with this picture. Especially in the United States. I understand the need to make a profit, but if no one can afford the treatment, then what good does it serve.

#sme #DrugPrices #BigPharma #nytimes

Let's Talk About- Sickle Cell Disease. How heart breaking that someone what not know life without pain. Approve the medicine and give these folks relief. This ain't hard.

#sme #healthnews #SickleCell #nytimes

Let's Talk About - CRISPR. If this saves lives of patients & allows them to be fully functional citizens then it's a no brainer. The cost of the treatment is far less than the opportunity costs of not being treated plus the ongoing pain management.

#sme #SickleCell #CRISPR #theculture #NPR

Let's Talk About - Racial Categories in Genetic Research. I understand the research & conclusion. The problem is that racism exists & I'm not sure that this study adequately addresses that or the policies that exist because of legacy descriptors.

The Nightly Lid: 3.21.23 - Today we talked Politics. The most popular piece was Charles Blow's piece on Trump. We talked a lot about Republicans. If you like the conversations in this pod follow/converse/echo. Tell a friend or 20. Remember to be good to someone tonight, if only yourself.

Let's Talk About - This piece on South Koreans. I'm struggling to understand this. This seems so extreme. South Korean men and women clearly don't like each other. Even white women don't hate white men this much.

#sme #SouthKorea #genderwar #theatlantic

Let's Talk About - Israel & these settlements. At what point is enough enough? Or will it only stop when all the Palestinians are removed from their homeland? This is not making Israel many friends. And making any two state solution difficult.

#sme #Israel #Palestine #nytimes

Let's Talk About - London. Apparently, their LEOs can't quit racism, misogyny or homophobia. Lordy Mercy.
