Flatiron is hosting a (free) puzzle night with food! eventbrite.com/e/flatiron-he… *I do not work here. I just thought it was a cool event given I missed the DASH puzzle hunt for the 4th year in a row.

If you're a woman or ally in NYC looking for a new role, you should consider going.

Isn't Buttigieg the most neoliberal candidate? (Not counting candidates who are polling at <=1% such as Delaney, I suppose.)
Replying to @LeniDiamond
I’d say neoliberalism is the political-economic consensus that has governed the last forty years of policy in the US and UK. Its failure helped to produce the Trump moment. Now we have to replace it with something better.

Someone close to me lost someone by suicide earlier this year & is devastated. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay is today & I did a roundup last year of mental health posts. Re-sharing to offer hopeful/helpful advice. Share yours below too if you have posts! champagneandcapitalgains.com…

This is probably the best CC signup perk around if you actually use AWS. $5k AWS credits for $5k of spend. Great targeting. Even as a blogger, you could sign up for this, get free hosting for years. Though AWS doesn't offer 1-click setup for Wordpress, but hey, maybe one day?
Replying to @patio11
This prominently includes AWS, which will give you $5k of credits if you sign up for the card. If you use AWS, this is a *screamingly* good deal. (Their standard promotional terms apply, including eventual expiry. c.f. aws.amazon.com/awscredits/)

At this point you come out way ahead even if you pay someone money to set up your blog on AWS with Wordpress. @hirokonishimura @minafiblog - you guys might find this useful

Wow, so many productivity tool credits + real-time expense matching by text. Pretty ahead of any other business card I've seen. stripe.com/corporate-card
