Each time you get COVID, maybe nothing bad happens, and maybe you get permanent disabling fatigue or a heart attack or brain damage. The more times you roll the dice, the more the chance of a bad outcome. If I’m wrong, I will have worn a mask and been thought a weirdo for nothing. (That’s what I hope!) But if I’m right, 25 years from now I could be one of the only healthy people of my generation still around.

I will once again repeat what I think is a nationally winning campaign for a US opposition party (should any care to exist), now with Berlatsky’s improved phrasing:

❝If elected, I will fight like hell to:

- destroy Donald Trump, everything he has done, and everything he stands for,

- tax the living shit out of billionaires, and

- use that money to repair the damage they’ve done to the US.❞

Not saying that’s everything that needs to happen, or an entire political philosophy, or the solution to everything. Only saying that I think that — simply that — would win elections. Try it and see. You cowards. https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:htdsafwakqmzvuk2oivijzn6/post/3midafsxk3k2p

I kind of hate this. antifascism is a positive program that will improve everyone's lives. and Ds can in fact absolutely win by just saying, "I will destroy everything Donald Trump has done and stands for." [contains quote post or other embedded content]

…this concludes my defcon presentation, I yield my remaining 59 minutes and will not be taking questions at this time

@jwz It is immensely reassuring to hear that I am not the only person who finds Wikipedia articles about math incomprehensible.
@jwz i started to update my computer to check out the new screensavers, but then i remembered that i'm on debian stable.
For the people who complained that the Curta was overkill and I should use a sliderule, I tried it this morning and calculated that 2.1*10^-2 kg coffee at a 1.5*10^1:1 ratio is about 3.15*10^-1 liters. Or something like that within a few powers of ten.

⚠️ Update: #Iran's internet blackout has entered day 32 with most users cut off from the outside world for over 744 hours.

Extended digital isolation is bringing new challenges for Iranians, from expired domains and accounts to unpatched servers on a degrading national intranet.

My "We don't allow bets on assassinations and murder" ad campaign has people asking a lot of questions already answered by the ad campaign
That's right
