A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time: Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves. Q: Why are you running away? Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels. Q: But you’re foxes! Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

There's a Business Insider YT video where a CBP officer says some counterfeit makeups contain cadmium, and to emphasize its danger, he says it's used in nuclear reactors. Which is true, technically speaking, but so is water. (Cadmium may be poisonous, that's just a terrible explanation of why.)

I know we joke a lot about the price of eggs, but we all know it’s a joke, right? We know this isn’t about eggs, right?

New blog post: On Nuclear War TL;DR: The US's fear of intervening in Ukraine due to Russia's nukes is a clear sign to every tinpot dictator around the world that they should get their hands on their own nukes ASAP, and that's going to lead to disaster. nothingvalued.bearblog.dev/on-nuclear-w...

New(ish) blog post: Elon Musk is an idiot when it comes to code TL;DR: Software development is about a hell of a lot more than just raw code, and asking people to bring their code in for judgment will not result in a good team (or even good solo devs). nothingvalued.bearblog.dev/elon-musk-is...
