I weep for those who thought they knew where it was going and stopped watching before the good part

It’s easy to stump for UBI when you have confidence tax loopholes will keep your company from actually needing to pay for any of it

Famously, science is uninterested in the scientific method.

reducing vaccine requirements and cutting rations to gruel, is, well, it's attempting to recreate the conditions of the old Department of War (readiness levels depleted from sickness and malnutrition).

The cool thing is that it will only take one round of getting the flu without vaccine protection, being useless for at least a week, and feeling like complete shit for another 2-3 for 99% of service members to voluntarily get it anyway.

everyone with real American manliness and a basic knowledge of military history knows that serious war efforts have never been derailed by such trifling matters as "communicable diseases"

Oh this is a fascinating idea

Massachusetts urged to hire a chief marketing officer to stem talent loss Experts say the $305 million Mass Wins Act doesn't mention marketing the state, even as graduates and businesses continue to leave. We just assume they all know about its merits.

Here in MA, we don’t think we need to shape a brand and a marketing message for people considering coming here to work, staying here after graduation, or moving their business here. We just assume they all know about our merits.

I'm dead serious when I say this is why I go to comic con type events. Meeting celebrities is fun, but hanging out with people who are as nerdy as I am is the best. It's one of the few places where I feel like I actually fit in.

T is OK for cis women but not trans men.

Puberty blockers are OK for cis kids but illegal for trans kids.

You see it, right? You see what this is?

love bluesky because the replies to this post immediately descend into people fighting about whether the minions would have worked for stalin

A classic.

It’s also worth remembering that many Americans love their jobs for reasons beyond the financial ones. A good job gives you an identity, status, community, and a reason to leave the house. In other words, it gives you dignity, and that’s not something that a public wealth fund can substitute for. UBI may still be worth doing; should vast numbers of Americans become unemployed due to AI, some form of it may well be necessary. In the meantime, though, I suspect AI companies will find that gauzy promises of future welfare payments will help them about as much as their gauzy promises of future cancer cures — which is to say, not much. What Americans actually want, it’s not clear that AI can give them. And the sooner that AI executives understand that, the better off we’ll all be.

I wrote about tech companies' move to promote universal basic income to calm the AI backlash and why it's probably not going to work www.platformer.news/ubi-ai-publi...

Correct

We never had that. Tornado drills, fire drills, never school shooting drills.

Oh fuck this is a suuuuuuper busy (and amazing) tourist site. Damn.

Like sorry but I can’t decant mousse or hairspray into separate containers and sometimes I have to look professional.

This is mostly correct except

Except

When you’re a person who uses hair products or makeup or other related items that do not come in travel size, and it is not worth buying those things every time you go someplace new. Which is often true for short trips.
