More than anything else classism is that if you lose your company half a million you get fired, but if Zuck loses Meta 77 billion he gets paid $28 million.

Okay, so how will they collect what data related to longevity? (I mean, I'm confident it'll seem like forever when watching it.)
Tomorrow Grimes will DJ a livestream of immortality influencer Bryan Johnson tripping on shrooms to determine its effect on longevity. Mr. Beast and the CEO of Salesforce will be there too.

What makes this story about cats in China really fascinating to me is not JUST that leopard cats were there before house cats were. People changed the environment and they arrived.
But what's wild to me is that they left...and they left BECAUSE OF PEOPLE. www.sciencenews.org/article/dna-...

Ancient DNA reveals China’s first 'pet' cat wasn’t the house cat
The modern house cat reached China in the 8th century. Before that, another cat — the leopard cat — hunted the rodents in ancient Chinese settlements.

It'll be an interesting experiment. If I get around to insulating the crawlspace so my floors aren't so icy cold, will the kittens still be so intent on sitting on my lap while I try to write?

Update: as kittens get larger, older, but still squirmy in one's lap, typo rate seems to go up. A correlation at this moment, will update on findings.

C-SPAN caller says he'd be against attacks on Mexico (when the host pointed out most fentanyl comes from there), but would be for attacks on the cartels in Mexico. IANAL but this seems to bring up interesting questions about sovereignty.

Elon Musk appears to be worried about white people’s fertility specifically. Also, he claims Jewish people - who look white to him- are white based on what he sees as skin color.

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

Kittens make you think their species are great explorers of cause and effect, the way they try everything, like if they whack this, it'll fall over.
Cats prove to you that they don't actually care about cause and effect, like when they whack this and it falls over.

Stealthy browser extensions waited years before infecting 4.3M Chrome, Edge users with backdoors and spyware
And some are still active in the Microsoft Edge store
A seven-year malicious browser extension campaign infected 4.3 million Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge users with malware, including backdoors and spyware sending people's data to servers in China. And, according to Koi researchers, five of the extensions with more than 4 million installs are still live in the Edge marketplace.…

What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

A shoddy Oklahoma University essay went viral. Cis people think this is about conservatives whining for better grades. Trans people see a planned attack on a trans academic.

Hot take: We need to be careful how we criticize these awful LLM-generated dubs on Amazon and other places. The companies can always spend more money and energy (literally) to refine them, so criticizing quality incentivizes them to do more. Better: argue humans are good at this and pay artists.
