Was just listening to this song recently when it popped up on my “favourite tunes” playlist I was thinking “Boy this would be good strong song. Starts out with that iconic bass and piano but then seems to go wild partway through before tidying up at the end”.

Thank you! Captured perfectly.

One of the comments on the article:

The Great Barrington Declaration didn't recommend "allowing Covid to spread naturally among younger people".

The bill: “human rights code that the Left is using to punish and profit”

No politicization there! 🤦‍♂️

Not to mention that 37 thought that something so poorly written and hyperbolic was worth considering at all.

Ward Stamer: his party has decided to continue that practice in an effort to avoid the “politicization” of first reading and allow the public to see bills.

Our medical establishment rose to power via their juvenile insults and social media trolling.

“My mom chose not to vaccinate me because she heard stories of danger. I was compelled to vaccinate because I trusted people who shared stories of protection.”

(Bloomberg) -- The global smartphone market will contract 12.9% in 2026 because of the unprecedented memory chip shortage, marking “a crisis like no other,” according to researcher IDC. The new forecast, a dramatic revision down from earlier estimates, gives the latest accounting of the ongoing memory crunch that’s affecting every corner of the electronics industry. The demand for advanced memory to power artificial intelligence tasks has drained global supply until well into next year and now jeopardizes the business model of many smartphone makers. IDC now sees roughly 1.1 billion mobile shipments in 2026, down from 1.26 billion the prior year and erasing years of gradual gains. Smartphone manufacturers are adapting to the elevated component costs by reining in specifications, eliminating unprofitable entry-level models and pushing consumers to buy more premium devices. “The tariffs and pandemic crisis seem a joke compared to this,” said IDC Senior Research Director Nabila Popal. “The smartphone market will witness a seismic shift by the time this crisis is over — in size, average selling prices and competitive landscape. We don’t expect the situation to ease up until mid-2027, at least.”

It drives me crazy that most people think that COVID-19 vaccines don't reduce transmission. They don't bring Reff <1, but the difference between spreading an infection to 2 people vs 1 person is huge at the scale of the population.

Opinion | Remaining unvaccinated in public should be considered as bad as drunken driving In fact, the former is far deadlier.

It’s not thought. It’s motivated reasoning. By denying this they avoid the cognitive dissonance that their choice/fear/ignorance is placing others at risk.

This was from during the delta wave.
