Reminder: the folks at the central banks that set our economic policies all belong to the same families, went to the same schools, and studied the same WILDLY INCOHERENT economic theories.
It's why their policies and predictions ("interest rates will rise!" 2007-2015) are consistently wrong.

Reminder: This vast consolidation of wealth and power at the top has not been due to neutral market forces.
There’s no such thing as a “free market.”
It is designed.
It either advances public purposes or it serves the monied interests.

I don't understand the difference between trusting the code an LLM gives you and blindly pasting code from Stack Overflow.
In fact there's a good chance the solution the LLM suggests is a non-solution from Stack Overflow due to how LLMs work.

Smallpox is the deadliest disease in the history of humanity and as of right now, it exists in 2 places on planet earth and both are disease research labs run by governments.
Smallpox is a thing of the past because vaccines work.

A doctor with Hep B explains how she acquired it and why a birth dose of Hep B would have likely prevented transmission (likely from her parents). This is likely not the "lived experience" this committee wanted to hear. But we are here for it! Thank you for speaking out

This guy is a fucking petty piece of shit and I have receipts to back it. He put a job posting on the Hellsite, I responded, he acted like a complete shitbird then signed me up for all kinds of spam mailing lists.
I hope he gets butthole cancer.

I know his family will miss him greatly but I hope they take solace in knowing how many people Steve's work inspired.
if I could only listen to one kind of music for the rest of my life, the answer would be Memphis soul. RIP Steve Cropper, whose guitar and production defined the Stax sound as much as Booker T’s organ or Otis Redding’s shout

Netanyahu continues to starve and kill the people of Gaza. Putin is pretending to negotiate peace while attacking Ukraine. Trump is randomly killing Venezuelan's. They have no desire for peace. It is how they stay in power. Netanyahu, Trump and Putin are now the leaders of the new axis of evil.

Michael Dells "donating" to the US government is gonna be a pattern going forward.
Governments, bankrupted by oligarchs, are going to have to seek loans from those oligarchs. If you think it's bad right now, wait til our government literally owes the oligarchs.

40 years ago AIDS was a death sentence and now it's completely manageable. How are we getting the fucking measles.

Today is World AIDS Day, a day that reminds me of the decades-long fight for dignity, science, and compassion. We’ve come so far because activists, researchers, and communities refused to be ignored.

Remember the Nuremberg trials only happened after we took the fight to the Nazis doorstep. Sometimes you have to focus on stopping the bad ideas first knowing justice will come in time.

Nintendo done pissed me off with their nonsense regarding the mod scene so every day I've been checking the usual channels for Metroid Prime 4.
A game that I think will be terrible because the last one was "CoD in space" and not "where the fuck am I and what is that weird alien thing over there".

That wildly outpaces the economic growth of both average consumers and governments alike.

Clearly Hegseth hasn't consulted legal counsel about this.
You know this because any competent legal counsel would tell him to shut his fucking mouth and not leave a lengthy trail of evidence and confessions that will be used against him in his eventual trial.

I don't have this urge with Pluribus and I think it's because it's so weird I am wholly unable to conceive how it might end.

Again for the folks in the back - conservatism is a political philosophy dedicated to ensuring aristocracy can exist in democracy.
A social class that is immune to accountability is fundamentally incompatible with democracy.

At a certain level of wealth, political differences no longer matter. The uber wealthy all get along with each other because they are principally driven by protecting their wealth and privilege.

I'm not sure I've ever been so consistently greeted with groans as when I've uttered the phrase "Have you listened to Phish?"
