Yeah that’s probably why
The U.S. slipped to its lowest ranking ever in the World Happiness Report — 24th — in part because Americans are eating alone more than ever.
Americans Are Unhappier Than Ever. Solo Dining May Be a Sign.

I hear there are stories coming, but putting the brakes on our country’s world-leading medical research system feels like a five alarm fire and I don’t see a newspaper that even has it on the front page yet
Shutting down medical research — not just within NIH, but everywhere that’s funded by NIH — will have long-term effects on medicine & short-term effects on state, higher education & hospital budgets. This affects all of us, not just researchers.
The assault on NIH is a test for how the national media covers the Trump admin: Trump is shutting down medical research!
That is easy to communicate. Will they treat it as a 5 alarm fire in a way that forces the government to respond, or will they downplay & caveat it?

As a resident of Reddit and a refugee from Twitter, I love this. More of this, please.
Today I counted more than 50 subreddits that went through with banning links from X, reaching more than 40 million combined members. At least 20 million of those members were encouraged to join Bluesky, instead.

More than 50 Reddit communities ban X links to protest Musk
The cascade of link bans came after Musk made a hand gesture at a Monday rally that many compared to a Nazi salute, which many cited in their protests, among other things.

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.
Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

the problem with tackling "wasteful government bureaucracy" is it's like deleting files from your computer called hostserver.dll that look useless and take up a lot of space and then your computer stops working

You always hope these people will learn, but in my experience anyway, they never do. It’s *maddening*.
it is fucking wild to me that there are people who just Don't Pay Attention To Politics in this world but they exist and I meet a lot of them and they may shortly learn that, well, politics pays attention to them and has real consequences on shit they took for granted

I think back to 2008 and 2016, and it’s still a little strange to me how in 2024 there has been comparatively little fuss over a woman maybe becoming president
I get that it’s a different time and we have more important things to discuss, but it’s funny that it’s just like “oh also she’s a woman”
