Asked to provide a job reference by filling out an on-line form. That's a new one.
So I finished my Voyager watch. I’ll write on what I consider the overrated finale in the future. I’m hip deep in ST:E S01, and just ran smack dab into the Temporal Cold War and FML
The one thing I remember from last night is this: one out of every 1,000 Black people has died of COVID-19. By the time Trump is out of the White House, that number is pr...

Well there go my plans to organize that thousand-person, six-hour karaoke competition in that underground bunker. https://t.co/pbl1bcmwoX
❗️Did you know that *study after study* finds most people don't seem to transmit COVID at all? That a small percent is responsible for almost all infections? That R i...
You know what would be a good complement to the debates, or a replacement for it? A college-bowl like competition among a half-dozen top staffers on each side over policy questions.
cardenfreude: that vaguely superior feeling you get when you write more #PostcardsToVoters postcards than your friends do though it's definitely not a competition no no not a competition. but it really is, isn't it @DemocratWit ?

Jóhann Jóhannsson’s ‘Dís’ (2004) is a favorite of mine, bright and smooth and melancholy instrumentals that sound like aquariums and snow flurries. deutschegrammophon.com/en/catalogue/p…
This is the first "online conference" I actually look forward to and cannot wait to happen ever since things went south in March, the wit, effort and care Em & the team put into @roguelike_con is mind-bogglingly cool! 🤯

The Y2286 problem

New post: Plaidophile: The Y2286 problem beesbuzz.biz/blog/9456-The-… I wonder how many things are going to break on November 20, 2286. Context: That is when the UNIX epoch rolls over from 9999999999 to 10000000000. Normally base-10 numbers aren’t considered a problem when it com…

An excellent article on how ineffective one-shot implicit bias training is without long-term followup, along with what racism costs everyone. This detail broke my heart a little. scientificamerican.com/article/how-to…
On Sept. 13, as wildfires burned and the AQI reached 590, nearly 50 Oregonians gathered at Volcanoes Stadium in Keizer to hear speech from 3 QAnon activists who described...
This very point is why it's dangerous to arbitrarily downsize police without alternative employment. When we "disbanded" the Iraqi army after we invaded in 2003, they all turned into insurgents because THEY WEREN'T QUALIFIED TO DO ANYTHING ELSE. Meatheads need jobs, too.
Don't forget: Cops are dumb.
I thought this was a particularly eloquent description by Sen. Cory Booker of the emotional and intellectual massacre that was the #TrumpMeltdown last night. Like so many are saying, this is a moment in U.S. politics unlike any I’ve seen in my lifetime. youtube.com/watch?v=o_ls5x…
