If you can’t tell that very small relative rate differences applied to a very large number can make a massive practical difference, and you are also relatively indifferent to the suffering of others, then you too must be

One way to think of crypto is as the purest momentum play under the sun. Everything's backed by inflows, which attract more inflows in a feedback loop.
When flows reverse it's painful because there's no natural re-entry point or circuit breaker.

We kept our 2 teens home this past week for Omicron surge avoidance and not only did

mark them unexcused absence but also denies them access to existing virtual and online curriculum resources! That’s wholly punitive and

I mean, sure, the same Soviet-style police state that was named

All the racist talk about “wet markets” is so ironic given how much Covid likes to hang out among wild deer and how deeply the American right valorizes killing, slaughtering, eating deer.

“somewhat reluctant” in the subtitle of a 50 page self-published ebook no one asked for is not exactly maxing out the self-awareness meter…
I’ve no idea if Zelensky is a good president ordinarily, whatever that could mean with Putin lurking, but he’s got guts and that’s more than you can say for nearly every American politician. 🇺🇦
Paul Ford—

—is his generation’s David Sedaris and that’s a hill I would die on.
Perhaps this strikes Paul Ford as dim or fawning or gross. Perhaps it makes Paul Ford hate me less, or more, or neither.
But I’ll never know because Paul Ford is exceedingly polite.
It’s illegal to own more than 6 sex toys in Texas. Illegal to get an abortion long before the fetus is viable.
Texas politicians—overwhelmingly cishet right-wing men—believe in the efficacy of laws to control behavior they disapprove.
Sending kids back to school on Monday just long enough for everyone to get sick before there’s not enough staff to keep the schools open doesn’t make a lot of sense.

I suppose it’s illegal too. My kids are great but I worry for kids in a similar situation without as many family resources as we have to compensate.
For some reason there seems to be a lot of talk about endemicity again. For the avoidance of doubt, omicron is not endemic right now in much the same way that the moon is not a hamster

But isn’t that the answer? Yr ideological opponents resent yr success and the resulting spread of yr ideas. Btw, I’m just here for Shaw/Logan/DuPont local color.
Twitter for me was always about interesting conversations with people I wouldn’t otherwise know:
@MrsAlSwearengen

etc.
I suspect under management by an actual shitlord it won’t be good any more. So thanks to everyone for the good times.

Yes and, while we aren’t in that cohort, there are other concerns like public schools intentionally exacerbating learning loss across socio-economic strata out of an ill-considered or political motivation to be punitive or to exert leverage for their preferred outcome.
A facial recognition model judged me as “unusually unattractive” today. I contented myself with the classic sonnet…
Shall I compare thee to a statistical outlier?
Thine model is sound and more complete.
Etc.
Reporter- "if the people beside you at the airport haven't been practicing mitigation measures, how safe is holiday travel?"
CDC director- "everyone has to assess their own personal risk"
This is not a public health strategy
The GOP turns my stomach: pro-virus, pro-gun, pro-white grievance; anti-public health, anti-woman, anti-bipoc.
Radical revanchist, dead-end losers and a bunch of silent “low taxes” biz people.
Still angry about Biden admin haughtily dismissing the idea of sending rapid tests to everyone. What is the point of voting for decent liberals if they act like utter shitbirds?
More from New York State today, on the marked rise of hospitalization in children
Notable for hospital admissions:
In the 5-11 year-old group
Unvaccinated 91%
Vaccinated 4%
Weird that unvaccinated people are angrier—for just no good reason at all—than the vaccinated whom they endanger. The situation couldn’t be more asymmetrical.
