25 years ago, 30 y.o me kept going to my GP about a lump behind my knee, six times over a year. He kept saying it would go away on its own. Finally saw a specialist who immediately referred me to the National Cancer Center. Liposarcoma.
It’s surprising how often I’ll start writing more details and links and anecdotes “so I don’t forget” and by the end the first draft doesn’t need much rewriting.

It was because I made fun of economists, wasn’t it?
Clavicular is a counter example to the principles of phrenotherapy: hitting someone in the face with a hammer doesn’t necessarily improve their behavior.
In math, a paradox is when a clearly structured statement, using rigorous logical steps, is shown to be both true and false.
In economics, a paradox is when “The model says X happens, but it didn’t. Here is why the world is wrong. Please give me a Nobel prize.”
Prosecutors can still appeal the sentence
No, they’re better understood as the flailings of a narcissist with advanced dementia surrounded by Christian Nationalist sycophants who want to destroy democracy and enrich themselves.
I know one big way, but the Trump admin really doesn’t want to pull on that thread (but probably will).
This is an interesting group, they all seem eager to be there and happy to be around each other, and none of them have come off as batshit insane or hopelessly dense so far.

The reporter named Sarah O’Conner posting news that a robot had just killed a person.
Followed up with “ok, I should have thought about my name before tweeting this” after getting inundated with Skynet posts.
The xkcd part just highlights the difference between it and Weir’s own webcomic Casey & Andy 20 years ago
I thought the “woke” quote was the interviewer, not him
PHM even includes the line when discussing the impending disaster, “of course, that’s assuming all the nations act responsibly and share resources… which they won’t.”
Was extremely said to hear of the death of Sora AI.
Until I realized I was thinking of Sora Aoi. She’s doing fine.
Fuck AI.
“Decades-long”? Trump barely has a foreign policy approach now, and certainly never had one before wallowing into politics.
Wolves are cheaper
Well, we elected one, but then Florida…
Buy enough members of Congress to get universal single-payer healthcare, universal basic income, and fair taxation of billionaires passed, obviating the need (in the US) for much of the above.
The perfect example of the dangers of quitting drugs
College roommate who loved Led Zeppelin and was really shitty at playing guitar. Months of “And she’s… And she’s… And she’s buy… And she’s… An-*frustrated slamming of strings* And she’s… And…”
