@aral Or yale -- their IRB approved a study that was "let's scare toddlers" in 2020. a lot of the anger was over scaring autistic toddlers, but they DID have a control group and it's not like scaring autistic toddlers is worse.

(this has basically no connection to the post I just like to complain about that study as often as I possibly can)

@aral

At "You don't know me, but I am attempting to do you a favor of such magnitude you will likely never comprehend it", I let out a groan.

“ Canada is a more urban country, more multicultural and less religious. It remained steadily socially progressive while the United States got more divided. Christian nationalism, political polarization and sharp inequality are all higher in the U.S. Canadians live longer, are healthier, shoot each other less often, hate each other less, are more open to immigration. Fewer Canadians die deaths of despair.” https://macleans.ca/society/canadas-new-nationalism/

“We need to stop trusting the experts” – RFK Jr. to Tucker Carlson

This explains much too much about what is (and was) politically happening.

Not only in the US.

@Bam @Legit_Spaghetti I've been able to trace distinct, anti-Jewish, antisemitism back 2,300 years ago (to Manetho). I gave up then. Of course Manetho didn't have much power but it's indicative of a potential general attitude.

@Legit_Spaghetti

One other point as I thought about this. You said, “it starts with camps.”

It didn’t. It started with 2000 years of antijudaic thought, where Jews were the obstacle to redemption and the belief that all problems would be solved by de-Judaizing any society.

Camps were the “answer” to that 2000 years of priming about the “Jewish question.”

There's still time to stop this dangerous bill.

Call your GOP representative and tell them to vote NO on Trump's Tax Scam: https://indivisible.org/resource/call-now-tell-your-republican-representative-you-dont-want-pay-price-their-billionaire-tax?source=mastodon&medium=directpost

Or plan a visit to your local congressional office: https://www.mobilize.us/indivisible/c/stop-the-cuts/event/create/

Lazy = I don’t want to do the thing.

ADHD = I desperately WANT to do the thing, but I just can’t seem to START doing the thing.

Well here's what I'm thankful for: my mom (87) just spent close to 2 days in the ER in a room by herself battling a severe anemia problem which they had to pinpoint the cause of... lots of exams etc... she gets out today with a Rx with a new and improved med protocol, another Rx to have more exams done.

Cost = $0.

Future exams $0

(Universal HC what a concept!)

😮‍💨

We really should be talking abt how Stephen Miller and Russ Vought sabotaged the entire US and Trump is either feigning or is genuinely ignorant about that fact. We should be talking abt the Trump autopen (AKA Discount Goebbels) Making America Garbage while telling Trump that he's making it Great.

If you are cutting, shaping or doing other measured work, measure dimensions twice as often as you need to.

We see that #LetsEncrypt is now experimentally issuing IPv4 and IPv6 certs! (https://letsencrypt.org/2025/07/01/issuing-our-first-ip-address-certificate/).

This is fantastic news for people who want to set up their own #DOH or #DOT servers that support automatic encryption upgrade (DDR - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc9462/).

We look forward to this being put into production. We wish the expiry time was a bit longer - maybe a new profile with 30 day validity? But in any case - great to see this happening. 👏

Not sure if true story or merely funny parable, but I WANT TO BELIEVE

Stop everything. Stop everything. The German for turtle is 'shield toad'

@luckytran Dept. of Transportation value of a human life, $13.7 million (https://www.transportation.gov/office-policy/transportation-policy/revised-departmental-guidance-on-valuation-of-a-statistical-life-in-economic-analysis).
51000*13.7=698,700 million=$698.7 billion/year

Lives that could be saved with universal healthcare, 68k/year (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8572548/)=$931.6 billion/year (est. % of all earnings paid in taxes, 1/3 [https://self.inc/info/life-of-tax/] -> ~310 billion/year??)

Healthcare 'savings' in the bill average ~$110 billion/year. (https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/trump-big-beautiful-bill-senate-tax-medicaid-cuts-rcna216024)

Conclusion: Cost-wise, universal healthcare is much better.*

Those who vote for this Big Death Bill will make millions of people sicker and be directly responsible for over 51,000 preventable deaths a year. All just to give tax breaks to the rich.

I’ve noticed that many people’s beef with AI writing is that it is inaccurate, or takes longer to check than writing it from scratch yourself.

Why don’t people care that their voice is silenced?

Human communication is more than simply coherency or accuracy. It carries the singular voice of the person who uses language too. The way we use language is like a fingerprint. It carries the way we entered into language, and the life we have lived within it.

Why is this not the greater loss?

If a post starts with "They don’t want you to know this, but..."

...there's a very high chance it will be followed by misinformation.
