So. Many. Typos! 😅 I wrote it, published and went to sleep. Sorry readers. https://medium.com/@nicwn/stay-home-dad-becomes-product-manager-week-5-217a9c1808fc
@harper It’s ok I think Brendan is free.
@codepo8 Sounds like an opening for an awesome movie.
Between 2003 & 2010, almost half a billion was spent by the Koch’s and fossil fuel industry on campaigns to “manipulate and mislead the public on the threat of climate change.” #DarkMoney

Every 🇺🇸 American 🗽 should get a copy of Dark Money💵: The Hidden History of the Billionaires ⛽️💰… and wake up from the brainwashing machine the 1% had built to enslave us. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0307947904/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_api_fgDpBbBSWGQXY
Irving Crystal, godfather of neo-conservatism, advised business leaders to “downplay their single-minded pursuit of self-interest, and instead tout moral values like family and faith.” #DarkMoney https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27833494
Finally getting to “Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right” I think I’m gonna be pretty pissed off for the next few days. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27833494
Just read “Hidden: A Child’s Story of the Holocaust” w/ my kids. On the one hand, we gotta keep these stories alive to learn from part mistakes. On the other hand, we turn on the news now… 😱 https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17934457
LOL @ review: “Moral of the story, don’t fuck with the Amur tigers.” No shit! Their ability to use abstract thinking, put 1 and 1 together, and come straight to your home to fuck u up is… terrifying, but awesome. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7624594

The answers given by 5 and 7 year olds about what is play and what is learning has been illuminating, and sometimes sad. I think it’d be awesome if next we can do a longitudinal study of 2000+ middle class families across all 5 countries again!
@funkemcfly @sxren That made me laugh way too hard. Thanks!
The Kalahari bushmen use poison to kill their prey, but this poison takes time. Sometimes, they would come back and find their prey claimed by lions. Instead of yelling to scare the lions away, they simply walk up and tell the lions to leave! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7624594
