A lot of us are, yes.

A great way to help prevent that is to wear an N95.

You spread illness and disease BEFORE you show symptoms, not after. Staying home when sick isn't enough because you're sick before you know you're sick.

Want to save lives? Masking in public is an easy way to do that.

I wish more than anything people would cut the pretense. I feel like I can intuit why so many people have visceral, violent reactions to β€œgender ideology” (really just the existence of trans people), but how do you talk to people who can’t even be honest with themselves about what their problem is?

They've been saying this my whole life from Reagan's racism republished on the front pages of The Times (thanks for that retraction decades later) to Clinton blaming the left, to Gore being too wonky and pulled to the left by Bradley etc. The right are literal Nazis but it's still our fault?

Elon Musk just stuffing his pockets with classified info and Congressional funds and being like β€œaren’t black people incompetent and unqualified?” and people who think he has a point and wanna debate about it just ignore what he’s actually doing in front of their face.

I knew what to expect, buts it’s still kinda surreal to see the outright plundering of the US government and people cheering it on because β€œDEI went too far”

There are literally not enough journalists employed in the US to cover the bad shit that is happening right now. We are now going to experience the social consequences of a weakened news industry--which are the same as the benefits of a weakened news industry, to those who weakened it.

I know this is going to come as a shock to some people, but the government actually doesn't care about US security and data going to China. What they care about is controlling the media gestalt, and TikTok allowed people to bypass it and control their own narratives. Can't have that.

What we have now is a million chatbots and a tool that summarizes emails you receive that were probably drafted by another tool that generates emails based on a summary from a human. Is this more efficient? Should I just be sending bullet point emails w/ incomplete sentences and cut the middle men?

Is the AI push still running on hype for what it *could* become at some nebulous point in the future, or have we reached the sunk cost fallacy already? Like companies are tripping over themselves to implement AI into a process flow before even finding actual use cases still.

Tim admitted in an interview he β€œfell in love” with a 16 yo Aaliyah when he was 23 that had me cautious about him but don’t know anything concretely abusive. TBH I don’t really trust none of the dudes from that era to come out without having done some heinous shit

A lot more convenient for newspaper owners to pose it as a widespread moral failure and not a symptom of policies that enabled a huge transfer of wealth upward as soon as millennials entered the workforce
