I hope you don’t call yourself a Christian.

We have to pay for the services we use somehow. I’d rather it be cash than the details of my entire life. But the money to operate those services has to come from somewhere

Oof, yeah. It’ll be time to break out my N95s again

Anticipation of surge? We’re already on the downslope of a recent tiny surge up here in the Boston area:

Preach. I hate the shit, it makes me feel shaky, but god damn does it work.

Am nurse. Can confirm. Scrubs is right about a LOT of things

Their content promotion algorithms are not protected by section 230. Those algorithms are the real problem, pushing more and more radical content onto vulnerable minds. (The alt-right YouTube pipeline is pretty well documented. Reddit, I think, less so. But they still promote “similar content”)

This was not a good year for me to pick up Kim Stanley Robinson’s “Ministry of the Future” book
