I have some new things in my shop and I’ve been hit with a surprise medical bill that I need help with so I’ve got a coupon code for 25% off my shop until the end of February! Use code help225 at checkout to snag some awesome art or stickers while you help me survive the US medical system!

I was required to use generative AI to outline a presentation for class about a topic that is…… very factual. (How to calculate Basic Earnings per Share as prescribed by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). It got so many facts wrong that I had to rewrite almost every line.

I have a studied the aviation safety situation in Alaska for 30 years. If Bering Air has gone down it will have nothing to do with the Potomac midair & PA medevac crash. It is a very different situation In AK. Right now, we wait to know more. www.alaskasnewssource.com/2025/02/07/r...

So now that Trump has banned trans people from participating in sports and trans teens from getting transition-related care, all of the "but we just have some concerns" people will surely come out strong in opposition to additional attacks on trans rights, yes? No? Ah well, nevertheless.

The Palestinians and their supporters didn't create our current predicament. It's a convenient, counterproductive deflection to lay the blame at their feet, and given the degree of destruction and suffering they've endured, it's also sadistic.

Going to repeat this: MLB (and other sports leagues) profiting from sports betting by taking advertisements creates an incentive structure that will lead to serious problems. MLB monetarily benefits from the sports betting industry being profitable!

Roger Goodell is not some wild liberal! Like other businesses, the NFL is doing this because it makes them money, plain and simple. (It’s still better than the alternative, and it’s still good to encourage behavior you like by voting with your wallet. But these companies aren’t on our side.)

DEI initiatives aren’t and have never been primarily about companies trying to do the right thing. It’s about making money first and foremost. It’s free-market capitalism!

I finished reading Mistborn tonight and it fucked me up. And I can’t tell you HOW because it would spoil the book and I have nobody to talk to it about

I don’t have anything clever or particularly eloquent to say today. Just that I’m sorry this is so hard and awful for so many of us, and I wish it wasn’t.Take care of yourself, and each other, don’t let the despair wear you down. Being healthy and surviving (even out of spite) is a victory in itself
