I just want to signal boot this excellent article from Leafly. I don't vape, but didn't know much of what was in here. #vaping https://www.leafly.com/news/politics/at-years-end-time-to-ask-why-did-the-cdc-ignore-vaping-evidence

At year’s end, time to ask: Why did the CDC ignore vaping evidence?

As American public health officials clung to their bias against nicotine vaping, illegal THC cartridges kept killing people.

Holy shit, Samsung Smart TVs straight up send "snippets" of things that you watch back home to "to provide you with customized Smart TV experiences".

Search that page for the text: "Your Smart TV transfers video snippets or TV tuner information in order to determine the programs watched."

For #givingtuesday I want to remind people (actually tell you for the first time) I totally grew a mustache this year for #movember. It's not too late to make a donation to the Movember Foundation. https://us.movember.com/mospace/5241893

Craig's Motivation: Globally, the rate of suicide is alarmingly high, particularly in men. Too many men are ‘toughing it out’, keeping their feelings to themselves and struggling in silence.

@cosapetitablava dude, dormitory is not the appropriate nomenclature. "Residence halls, please!"

Agree largely with Angie Schmitt @[email protected] here (wish she was on the Fediverse!). It's hard to say that #Uber and #Lyft have been a net positive. I'm hoping that we can make them that way. https://usa.streetsblog.org/2019/08/09/uber-is-a-slow-motion-tragedy/

Uber is a Slow-Motion Tragedy

More congested cities. Weakened transit systems. To top it off, Uber lost $5.2 billion last quarter.
