    Meanwhile, in Missouri, State Representative gives one of the most powerful speeches I have ever heard. Turn on the volume. You want this timeline cleanse.

    It is absolutely shocking to me that it is news to anyone that propaganda works on a large portion of the population...

    Just to make the case a bit stronger, buying out News Corp would be about half the cost of buying out Twitter. And take look what happens when you get Fox News viewers regularly watching actual news instead of just far right vitriol.

    1. Amazon just announced a 5% "fuel and inflation" surcharge for third party sellers operating on its platform. On the face of it, this doesn't seem that bad. I mean, inflation is at 8.5%. But Jeff Bezos is the second richest man in the world for a reason.

    The core of most real-time fluid simulators, like the one in , are based on the "Stable Fluids" algorithm by Jos Stam, which to my knowledge was first presented at SIGGRAPH '99. This is a thread about one part of this algorithm that's often underestimated: Projection

    The FDR Administration had the courage to tell the electric monopolies to F off and then build a wonderful, distributed alternative to them that led to decades of economic growth, progress, and new opportunities for nearly all Americans. That was leadership.

    An invitation to exercise your power as a citizen to check runaway corporate power.

    1. Ok, there aren't that many real conspiracies in politics, but the secret plan hatched in 1980 to unleash monopoly power is a real honest-to-goodness plot that worked. And you can actually help reverse it! Please spread this thread around. It matters. 🧵

    37 people have now contracted COVID following the Gridiron dinner. This illustrates how massively transmissible BA.2 is, and how much of a mistake it was to summarily drop all mitigation while we’re still in the pandemic phase of this virus. 1/3

    Somehow, I bet they also won't let you fly with a P100 respirator to protect yourself from these death cult policies.

    The time to fix technical debt is always *right now*. Tech debt grows. If you wait, the debt is larger and the disincentive to fix it will grow proportionately. OFC can't just work on tech debt; it needs to be triaged/prioritized. But someone/s should always work on tech debt.

    Effective housing prices basically just > 1.5x'd *again* over the past couple of months... (+57.x%, not +100% like quoted).. Watching things effectively triple and quadruple in a span of 2 years has been heartbreaking 💔 Being priced out of things in real-time...

    The 30yr fixed mortgage rate just passed 5% for the 1st time since '11. Thus, w/ the avg. home price at $511K today, vs. $408K last yr, & the 30yr fixed mortage rate at 5.02% today vs. 3.32% a yr ago, the avg. cost of a mortage is $2,138/month now vs. $1,129a yr ago (+101%). WOW!

    💡How to debunk “Omicron is mild” nonsense. Population wide — it is critical to know both the CONTAGIOUSNESS and the INFECTION FATALITY RATIO. But many only cited Omicron had a milder IFR while completely ignoring the much much worse contagiousness that will together killed more.

    📌In order to describe the dangers of a virus to a population, 2 informations are *strictly REQUIRED*: 1⃣ IFR (Infection Fatality Rate) 2⃣ how CONTAGIOUS the disease is (R0) 👉Mentioning only ONE information means NOTHING! HT

    Such bans need to include the use of biometric information, even if collected in realtime. Bans should not be limited to "online" activities but include IRL context. Bans should also not be limited to "advertising" per se because that will soon be consumed by "experience." /2

    Really pleased to say that a small team within have worked to make our Series 1 drivers open source! Great for anyone looking to tinker with old hardware, and an important look back at the company's history.

    For you at home, here came out with the “state’s rights” argument against interracial marriage, contraception and abortion. States’ rights to what, Senator? The right to discriminate. To deny privacy, due process, and equal protection under the law.

    Here is the video of a sitting Republican US senator calling for overturning the 1967 Supreme Court decision, Loving v. Virginia, which legalized interracial marriage.
