I have been doing some year by year comparisons of flu deaths since 2010. Did you know 2021-2022, before everyone stopped masking, had the fewest flu deaths in more than ten years? Less than 5,000 American died of the flu. In 2022-2023, when people stopped, it went up to 22,000.

Really though hats off to whoever convinced Mark Zuckerberg that that unholy offspring of Second Life and BonziBuddy was the future, and that it would take them 70 billion US dollars to make it. Truly hall of fame level scamming.

"The anarchocapitalist president of Argentina promoted a rug-pull crypto scam" is like the opposite of "real communism has never been tried." This is the hardest real libertarianism has ever been tried.

When the liberal side wins elections, they always tread lightly in order not to antagonize the wealthy class. Now is a crossroads. If the republic is to survive in more than name, the wealthy class is going to have to lose this struggle. We can’t keep pretending that it’s trustworthy as it is.

Every single stupid conversation I’ve had with a scientist about anticipatory obedience and historical comparisons over the last week has had me thinking about how scientists’ political incompetence is one of the major arguments for a liberal arts education Like you’re literally a tool without it

Obvious to humanities folks but not STEM folks: thinking in computer code/formal languages over natural languages is not good for the human brain in the long term as language becomes a system for executing commands, not communicating thought and emotion; stunts growth and promotes absolutism

Sometimes I feel like centrists are even worse than the out and proud fascists. They stand for nothing. And their smug, condescending obsession with insisting that both sides are the same is a big part of what validates the behavior and actions of fascists. They are just big globs of nothing. 🤮

I've quoted this passage from Trump -- where he states his intent to cause riots and US economic collapse -- so many times. He flat-out announced it on Fox News in February 2014. In my book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT I quote my own 2016 essay warning of his plan: www.hidinginplainsightbook.com
