It really feels like we donโt talk enough about how much COVID has fucked up our politics, our culture, and all of us personally. Itโs not surprising considering how absolutely averse this country is to confronting trauma, but sometimes it still needs to be said.

If you have a whitehouse.gov link you want to access and it is down, try replacing "www.whitehouse.gov" with "bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov"
The national archives is still doing its job for now.
Data Science Engineering problem #324. So far this year, I'm building the 32nd version of Python and PyTorch. There is a reason AI will not take over the world: package incompatibilities resulted in the digital crusades based on a schism between AI's over the holiest version of Pytorch and CUDA.

My father was a smoke jumper and a firefighter, and the best advice I can give is to do everything you can to keep yourself safe and not be a further strain on emergency services. This means as you said, staying off the roads, pay attention to evac alerts, and be ready to leave ASAP.
