The ~6 months of low national COVID transmission has come to an end. The national average risk of contracting COVID is now considered "moderate," and in several states, it's "high" or "very high." Mask up (preferably w/ K/N95), do things outdoors when feasible, and vent/filter indoor air.

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775.
I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

We should push back more.

Most experts acknowledge that a takeover by artificial intelligence is coming for the video game industry within the next five years, and executives have already started preparing to restructure their companies in anticipation.
After all, it was one of the first sectors to deploy A.I. programming in the 1980s, with the four ghosts who chase Pac-Man each responding differently to the player's real-time movements.

HIV and SARS-CoV-2 each damage the immune system in different ways. But people donโ€™t get HIV multiple times, and itโ€™s spread via bodily fluidsโ€”not simply through the air, like COVID. #MaskUp

This thread outlines an INCREDIBLE tactic to use when calling Visa/mastercard/stripe/other payment processors.

If you have the will and gumption, this is an amazing way to make an impact on their bottom line.

Every time you do this you cost them between $10 and $20.

This is why game preservation is so important. If not for emulators, thousands of games would have been lost to history. At least with emulation, gaming history can be preserved for future generations to enjoy. #gaming #history

He would be my uncle. Not great-great or great uncle. One of my parents' siblings. This is why we remember.

continuing to run the UBI experiment 14,000,605 times every decade in search of one time it ever won't produce clear positive results for everyone involved so there can finally be an example for the ultra wealthy people to point to illustrating why we can't do that like they've always been saying

Some people don't feel as close to this as they ought to. Most of us are just a bad break or two away from winding up on the streets, and addiction & mental health crises can affect anyone. They're gutting services and rendering more of us disposable, and there's a carceral disposal system waiting.
