What does an economic disaster look like? This light blue line. In 8 out of the 14 years since 2009 real wages have actually fallen. Next year will almost certainly join that list. This used to basically never happen. Now it's the norm pic.twitter.com/4QoenL8DDU

But…but…TVs are cheaper! Because you can live in and eat a TV.

NSF budget should be $100 billion and they should be working on fusion so hard that atoms are screaming. We don’t do the smart thing until we have no other choice.

I’ve often — even on this very site — marveled about that too.
“Oh, look at Mike, he remembered something that happened longer ago than last week. He’s an arrogant bastard. What is he, some kind of historian or something?”
If you actually remember stuff that occurred and can bring it to bear in a conversation you are seen as cheating, or putting others at a disadvantage. It’s extremely fucking odd.

I suspect most Long Covid is really medium to short Covid, and that it is vastly more prevalent in countries with already-unhealthy populations with lots of obesity where those pops are beset with pre-existing physiological disease as well as psychological issues.
Long Covid is real (for some), but it’s mostly a phantom in which any one group can see what they wish to see.

PasskeysโMicrosoft, Apple, and Googleโs password killerโare finally here.
I hope this gets better, because right now this looks awkward and terrible. I will avoid for at least 3-5 years until this works correctly (if it ever does).
I’m old enough to remember when computers used to do what you wanted them to do, the “back” button actually made a page go back, and you didn’t have to be braindead drooler to meet the maximum qualifications to use your own damn machine.
It was wrong to let stupid people use computers.
Most people who have posters up of Marilyn Monroe or Audrey Hepburn have never seen a Monroe or Hepburn movie.
