Hey you.

Yeah, you.

This is the start of something great for you. Happy New Year!

We're not quite into the year of the #rabbit yet, but as it is considered to be the year of Hope, wishing everyone some peace, prosperity, and longevity in the days to come. šŸ‡

There's a map going around that shows counts of venomous species by country. In addition to being interesting to look at, it highlights the problems that arise when you use political boundaries for geospatial data. Country size and range obscures biogeographical pattern. We see this with Russia, but the silliest example is the coloration of Alaska.

Just something worth keeping in mind when thinking about geographic data.

So this is my second proper day of Mastodon.

Relying exclusively on the Fed to raise interest rates puts most of the burden of fighting inflation on lower-wage workers.

As the economy cools, working people will be first to be fired.

Stop raising interest rates. Our target must be corporate profits.

I look at all the emails I am getting from organizations and vendors inviting me to holiday parties, and I look at the full hospitals and #COVID wastewater numbers, and I look at the fact that around 40% of COVID spread is asymptomatic, and I just sigh and shake my head in disbelief.
As someone who works in #infosec and evaluates #risk for a living, there isn't a snowball's chance in hell you would catch me mingling with other people unmasked any time in the next two months.
My profile picture still wears a mask because I still wear one in public. Even when vaxxed and boosted you can still carry and breathe germs out onto others. And catch other stuff.
Y de repente miras hacia atrƔs y te das cuenta de que ya no eres el mismo, que todo es diferente, que todo ha cambiado.
