WordPress Extend Akismet Spam Delete Time
Akismet, by default, deletes spam after 15 days. This may be fine most people, but I use my spam to control and deny new bots from my site. I cannot use this input when Akismet simply deletes it after the default 15 days. I often times am busier than that.

Now Chinese people are hailing social development and spreading positive energy, which highlights the public’s hope and desire for the betterment of people’s livelihoods on the road toward a moderately well-off society. source

The Redefinition of Work
This is an older article, over a year old, but still shocking for me. The redefinition of work should already be here.
Less formal work, more gig economy, these jobs are not living wage jobs and do not provide stability.
Work has ruled our lives for centuries, and it does so today more than ever. But a new generation of thinkers insists there is an alternative
