Remember that meme about "what would you contribute to the post-apoc society?" That was viral poison, getting you used to thinking of people (incl yourself) as tools.
Instead, read @naomikritzer.bsky.social 's story The Year Without Sunshine. We gave it the Hugo Award for a *reason*

Yes, building U.S. cities in hot deserts w/o water wasn’t a great move - but too few know that HEATING homes uses more energy than COOLING does.

Homes in Miami use less energy to control climate than homes in Minneapolis, but we don’t finger-wag about the foolishness of building in cold places.

Even if the 4-day pause holds, Palestinians in Gaza will continue to die—from their injuries, from lack of medical care, from hunger and thirst, from disease. More bodies will be uncovered. The aid coming in is insufficient. Don’t let up the pressure until Palestine is free!! 🇵🇸

In year one
it was dangerous
so we canceled
our gatherings.

In year two
we were careful
so we tested before
our gatherings.

In year three
we were shocked
when we fell ill after
our gatherings.

Now in year four
we’re over it
so we invite the virus to
our gatherings.

Watching Boiling Point and I feel that many of their work issues and job stress can be addressed by better work processes.

This Is Just To Say

I have loosed
the blood-dimmed tide
upon the world

and drowned
the ceremony
of innocence

Forgive me
you lack all conviction
so passionate
and so intense
Man goes to doctor. Says The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.
Doctor says cure is simple. Go see rough beast slouching towards Bethlehem.
But doctor, says man, what rough beast?
For sale: widening gyre. Never widened.

Pfizer produces the Covid treatment Paxlovid for $13.

They’re charging $1390 for it.

Pfizer donated $5.7 million to members of Congress since Covid began to get government contracts and keep drug prices high.

Price gouging is legal because our campaign finance laws are broken.
'For Shame': Pfizer to Charge $1,390 for Lifesaving Covid Drug That Costs Just $13
"Pfizer treats Paxlovid like a Prada handbag; a luxury for the few rather than a treatment for the many," said one consumer advocate.

Nothing works. Airlines. Making movies. College. Retirement. Mass transit. Medicine. Housing.

Everything is a scam, or on its way to becoming a scam.

Nothing works and it’s all by design, because every hitch in the process is another way for the rich to make more money.

The thing about natural disasters, even ironic ones, is that you can never be sure the right people get humbled while the right people come out unscathed.

Today, I discovered that my sister was unfamiliar with the concept of dusting the wets because she is only mildly online. I am so happy to have gotten to teach her the entire spaghetti process. This is what EXTREMELY ONLINE siblings are for.
