THIS is what drives, from the highest levels, forcing people back to the office. Sure there's middle-management authoritarian egos but at CEO and owner levels, they don't want to lose money on their investments - and make it everyone's problem.

Oh, and while I’m here showing off my deep wounds due to institutional failure: difficulty reading is a sign of both executive dysfunction and emotional dysregulation AND it is a symptom of long COVID, so every incredulous thread about the Youths not wanting to read makes me want to scream.

My eldest sister who lives in another country passed today after a long battle with cancer. She was surrounded by family and some friends. After a tough fight she’s now at peace.

The problem is not that most people lack information regarding the extreme danger of Covid-19, because information is available.
The problem is that most people do not care, and do not want to know.
The problem is that most people are willing to accept mass illness and excess mortality.

The Australian government has definitively ruled out introducing a copyright exemption for artificial intelligence companies training their models on Australian creative works.
This is a win for creative Australians and hopefully inspire other countries to follow.

Terrifying. An Associated Press investigation found more than 420 bills attacking longstanding public health protections such as vaccines, milk safety and fluoride have been introduced in statehouses across the US so far this year. Around 30 bills in 12 states have already been enacted or adopted.
