I love me a good graph, and this is indeed a good graph.
Watching the youtube version of the @hasanminhaj.com Annie Jacobsen interview right now, and I am having a similarly weird night. Maybe I should pivot to watching old Firefly episodes.
Fuckin' truth. That set of Collier's is still under Aunt Lena's funeral peace lily, and they are still full of good knowledge.
Well said.
I offer an alternative. The current vibe is take your meds, try to stretch so you don't eff up your joints, don't work too much because that is dweeb shit, get some movement in, have some hobbies, hang out with entertaining people, eat something delicious, take a nap, maybe key the car of fascists.

Follow up to my previous repost: @katestarbird.bsky.social also shared their 2023 published paper on @acm.org that outlines their visualization technique. (free access) I am grateful that there are researchers funded to pull accurate pictures of the social media sentiments and disinformation.
Interesting rapid fire analysis of how the conversation evolved over on X yesterday. For a data nerd like myself, this gave me a little bit of hope.
Today!
Girmay, please have someone from your office ensure that this report on #ICE flights to KCIA is still being run. It is now Jan 24, 2026, and there are no entries in the log from 2026.

The workshop, intended to teach participants how to convincingly blur truth and fiction, was reportedly no match for a night devoted entirely to the cold realities of the human colon.
Seattle, WA — A local woman confirmed Saturday that she would be unable to attend a workshop on writing “Real Fake News,” citing prior obligations to consume only clear liquids and repeatedly question her life choices.
Awww. Poop. I legit cannot go to this, and it sounds awesome.
Here's my absurdist oversharing headline to explain why ->

The nonprofit research group Epoch AI is tracking the physical imprint of the technology that’s changing the world.
@angierasmussen.bsky.social lays out some important context to any calls to align our vaccines with other "peer" countries: youtu.be/60VRcuXUztg #denmarkisnottheusa #vaccinessavelives (thx to @microbetv.bsky.social for publishing this!)

Open enrollment is underway and many people are experiencing sticker shock. Commissioner Kuderer explains what she’s been doing to urge Congress to extend the enhanced premium tax credits and what’s at stake if they fail to act.
the seattle times says it is from "Source: U.S. Census Bureau (Reporting by Gene Balk, graphic by Mark Nowlin / The Seattle TImes)"
will have to make my own chart sometime to see what's up here...
But there is something wrong with this data from the seattle times.. Or non-seattle fire fighters in king county are really getting underpaid because starting is 98k for firefighters in seattle. www.seattle.gov/fire/jobs-an...
Uff da. We are slowly sliding into Minority Report, aren't we?
( I am still agog at the idea of a 42% raise for SPD. )
Also, I wonder how the SFD firefighters feel about this salary ... cough ... discrepancy.

BTW : Washington doesn't look to be bad (yet) with regards to norovirus, but that is JUST from the wastewater scan website in Snohomish. I haven't found anything else to give more local context.
I am just gonna keep... washing my hands. :-)
I am listening to their latest clinical update with <3 Daniel <3 and they're talking about how the shingles vaccine is a good thing, and I am once again jealous because I am not yet 50 so not eligible to get it...

And then ended up here:
www.microbe.tv/twiv/?s=noro...
And seeing that they didn't have any RECENT references to it my panic subsided.
Until...
My night? Procrastinating chemistry homework by watching and old Colbert episode that mentions the uptick of norovirus "winter vomiting disease" and then floundering for a reputable source I finally landed back on TWiV and now am EXTRA anxious about getting my shingles vaccine SOONER THAN LATER.
They also kicked out the local food bank trucks. (They used to let them park there, now they have to park them ... *waves hands* in any spot you can safely park a box truck?) Kroger is being quite the bag of d##### now.
And by #thedreamteamelect I mean these lovely people with HUGE jobs to do. #seattle #lakecityway 💙💙💙

This coming Tuesday November the 18th @seattleparks.bsky.social is hearing ideas for the fenced off Lake City Mini Park. I know it is early to hope for a lot from #thedreamteamelect but I am hoping at least one of them sees this opportunity. engageseattleparks.com/lake-city-mi...
