@kathimmel But in the end, it all really comes down to this, doesn't it.

The interesting thing about capitalism is that it's entirely incompatible with the future, so we've just decided to get rid of the future and keep capitalism for a short while.

One thing this article kind of glosses over is that Lysenko rejected genetics and evolution on ideological grounds.

This led to a purge of biologists and politicians dictating science to scientists, which then led to starvation in the USSR and communist China (the starvation Mao was famous for came from listening to Lysenko).

The irony is that Christian Nationalists point at the starvation under Mao and try to blame it on atheism, even as they launch…

This past week I listened to the #TechWontSaveUs episode "Can #Europe End Its Dependence on #US #tech "

The debate is good, but we should not replace Silicon Valley with the European equivalent. The goal does not justify the means.

Law firms dumb enough to attempt a deal with Trump, instead of just going to court? They already lost their self respect, and now they might lose their clients:

“And he has hinted that he sees the promises of nearly $1 billion in pro bono legal services that he has extracted from the elite law firms…as a legal war chest to be used as he wishes.”

This is who we are now?!

An NBC News article headline reads: "New images could change cancer diagnosis but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them." The article is by Jean Lee, published on April 21, 2025, at 5:34 PM EDT, with a 7-minute read time. It has 86 comments. The summary states: "A groundbreaking microscope at Harvard Medical School could lead to breakthroughs in cancer detection and research into longevity. But the scientist who developed computer scripts to read its images and unlock its full potential has been in an immigration detention center for two months – putting crucial scientific advancements at risk." The NBC News logo is at the top.

@Lizette603_23 @thezenlady Snopes confirmed in December:

❝ Snopes downloaded all three Ovia apps — one for fertility, ovulation and menstruation, one for pregnancy and one for infant care — and could not get past the basic information page to access the rest of the app without filling out the "country of residence" and "state of residence" queries. The state of residence query appears as a required field if the user chooses the United States as the country of residence.

Yep, the Switch 2 Joy-Cons will probably still drift because Nintendo isn't using Hall effect sensors. So, if you were thinking about upgrading, it might make more sense to swap out the joysticks in your current Joy-Cons. It's easier than you might think—and a lot more affordable.

Check out our fix kit (and accompanying guide!): ifixit.com/products/nintendo-s

Two hands separating the outer shell from a blue Nintendo Switch Joy-Con. They're holding it partially open above a white magnetic project mat on a wooden table. On the table is also an iFixit Jimmy and Pro Tech toolkit in the background, with the screwdriver from that kit sitting on the project mat. The left hand's index finger is also gripping an iFixit Opening Tool.

So a delusional billionaire with a breeding fetish and a ketamine addiction is effectively the president, we have a Russian asset as Director of National Intelligence and an anti-vax conspiracy theorist is running HHS.
