So this is false, and only took me a half hour to investigate. The ACTUAL story is that IN ADDITION TO RAISING MONEY FOR HIS CAMPAIGN, @BernieSanders is raising money via @actblue for five charities. Potential donors are re-routed to @actblue which IS tax deductible.
All Ryan Nobles had to say was, Bernie Sanders is raising money for five charities and claims to have raised $2M in 48hrs. But Bernie has NOT stopped raising funds for his campaign, as is clear on his website. And is still running for POTUS.
And if you go to Bernie's website, he is still fundraising for his campaign. So this attempt by Ryan Nobles to claim Bernie was dropping out is false. The donate button is bright red and unmistakeable. DO. BETTER.

Wild plot twist on my life:

1:30pm: laid off by editor after 26yrs as a columnist.
5:30pm: rehired by different editor to do same column.

Some full time staff, including my editor, were laid off, but longtime contract writers like me, will remain, but online only, not print.
Sad for the full-timers who were there for decades, but are at least eligible for unemployment, unlike contract writers. This is so very hard. Long talk with new (to me) editor about the changes. It's so painful for everyone. But I feel so grateful, as this is my livelihood.
I have heard from several friends today who have been laid off from different publications, plus emails from publications asking for donations. This is the new normal. But I will say declaratively, that it has NEVER been more critical for local newspapers to stay open for us all.

Bernie Sanders ruined his brand by running in 2020. His commitment should have been to the issues, not his own ego. He could have supported Elizabeth Warren, but instead he did everything possible to tank her campaign, which was exponentially better than his. Misogynist as 2016.
Bernie had tons of money and he still lost to Biden. He never made an effort to work with the black community like Biden, the LGBTQ community or women. He ran a terrible campaign and his core team, who all proudly voted Trump proxy in 2016, continually abused people online.
The casualty is not Bernie but progressive issues that have never been more critical. Sadly, while Bernie goes off to write another book at his lake house, poor Americans who desperately needed the policies Warren offered & Bernie paid lip service to will suffer. Yes, I'm angry.

Things are changing so fast, reporters can't keep up. We can only report so much, so quickly. A week ago I warned my family not to fly anywhere--they were all planning to head out West to spend Pesach together. I told them by this week we would not be able to fly. I was right.
During the #AIDS pandemic, I spent a lot of time talking to infectious disease specialists, including Tony Fauci. Later, it was Hot Zones. I met Laurie Garret, Michael Osterholm. I wrote stories about diseases appearing out of nowhere. I had hoped we would never be here. We are.
Our lives won't be the same after this. We need to recognize that. Try to adjust. Try to remain calm as we rethink how to live through the next year in which everything will be forever changed. It will be the hardest part. But we have to do it. That will be the way we survive. 🌿

The Bank of England @bankofengland just issued an excellent paper on retail Central Bank Digital Currencies and proposes a new form of money which would enable to make electronic payments using central bank money.

If you just have 1 minute, this is what you need to know:
1. BofE proposes to issue a UK CBDC, a digital pound sterling and allow anyone to hold an electronic form of central bank money - similar to a digital banknote. This would be a risk-free asset as does not involve any counterparty risk to traditional banks.
2. The CBDC would be recorded as a liability on the BofE’s balance sheet (just like bank notes and reserves) and matched with assets held by the BofE.

Oh boy, with all the Resident Evil talk someone asked me how I'd rank the RE games. So here comes a tweet wall with my opinions since I'm fired up right now on RE3 hype. Keep in mind these are just my opinions (& I have a few controversial ones). I've played all the game but the
two Outbreak games, the second Gun Survivor game based off of Code Veronica (I hope to amend this sooner than later), and the mobile games. So without further ado, from favorite to least favorite (and some notes from me along the way, I'm a bit wordy):
01. Resident Evil 4
02. Resident Evil REmake

These two are pretty common favorites, I fit the mold here. RE4 is what got me into horror games, but ultimately the reason I choose it over REmake is because after much deliberate thought I realized my least favorite moment in REmake

Yesterday's adventure:

A neighbourhood couple came to visit. They mentioned how their 9-yr-old son was not doing well in studies. They were coming from the school where the teacher had recommended they take their child to see a psychiatrist.
They had with them results of a class test in which the young man had mostly written one word for each answer which made no sense.
I asked them if they noticed the child was stressed or uneasy about anything. That was not the case. Moreover, when at home the child answered the questions correctly.

Okay, before I got to bed, I am going to throw out some words garnered from the book I am reading at the moment... and no not Hugh Johnson's Pocket Book of Wine 2019. The one that is about making #money via a #sidehustle by @chrisguillebeau
1. Everyone should have a #sidehustle. It is a way to make some extra money and can be useful as insurance in case you lose that ever important day job. Your side hustle doesn't have to be a main gig and should be started with a specific goal in mind.
For instance, perhaps you have a vacation coming up and you want to make some extra money to pay for it. Maybe you want to pay off those #studentloans and you can use a side hustle to do it. or maybe you are bored out of your mind and want something to occupy your time.

Here we go. Twelve people on stage together for no apparent reason. Beats having to do this two nights in a row.
To give you an idea of how many of these people should have already dropped out, Andrew Yang – who has literally zero chance at the nomination - is polling in sixth place. Everyone below him is just delaying the inevitable.

Because of you and hard-working candidates, Democrats retook the House with the largest popular vote margin of any party ever, no less!

Here's how we flipped the most Democratic seats since Watergate! (39 and counting)
As the first elected Chair, Ben Ray Luján pounded the pavement the entire cycle, traveling over 52,000 miles through 27 cities and 17 states. He held events or meetings with 93 separate candidates for a total of 151 candidate meetings and events on the road.
We built a battlefield of 111 seats – the largest in over a decade. Our final #RedtoBlue program included:
4️⃣8️⃣ women
2️⃣7️⃣ people under 40
2️⃣1️⃣ diverse candidates
1️⃣9️⃣ veterans and intelligence officers
