When crazy becomes plausible

The cost of your flight went up because you searched for it twice. Your rideshare costs more because your phone battery is dying. This is surveillance pricing – corporations using your own data and behaviors against you. In the US Senate, I’ve got plan to ban it.

Re: the crawl. What farmers? Nobody buys groceries anyway, right?

Most advice on how to avoid being caught in scams includes a caution about being lured into acting immediately. This morning I read & listened to news from yesterday. I think a 24 hour buffer is reasonable.

It’s really frustrating when companies/organizations try to gaslight you into doing something because “it’s easier”. Yes, it’s easier for YOU but it’s many times more difficult (and expensive) for me.

Scattered severe thunderstorms are expected this afternoon and evening across parts of the Midwest and Ohio Valley. Large to very large hail, a few tornadoes, and severe/damaging winds all appear likely.

It’s been like this forever but why does it surprise me every time? Software updates always end up making those products less functional.

You know things aren’t right when someone 20+ years older passes you going down a long flight of stairs.

I love when I find that other people have the same fundamental questions that I have had. It’s better yet when they have evaluated those questions in a rigorous way that is inaccessible to me. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

A thread of middle grade fantasy/adventure books in my elementary school library that you can read that aren't Harry Potter:

Today marks the 115 year anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire. Please read and share this thread highlighting the tragedy and subsequent reforms, or lack thereof. A grim reminder of our sacred tradition of putting profits over people.

I saw someone encouraging people to stockpile cash. LOL. So, what happens when/if hyperinflation hits? Hmm?

I am reminded of a friend’s grad research proposal in the early 90’s to look into addiction to interactive electronic media. This stemmed from their experience with MUDs and MUSHs. This predated www, corporate ownership, advertising, algorithms, AI, etc. Something to consider.

Lately, it’s been a lot of, “Wow, I’m so glad I did that years ago.” It’s not that I couldn’t make a long bucket list now, it’s that I could be content with where I’ve been.

Ew! That gave me the massive ick.

President Trump says Iran negotiations are ongoing, telling reporters he believed they were speaking to the right people because they delivered a valuable "gift."

It is honestly a miracle we ever figured out as much about DNA as we have, everyone's all "oh it's the most simple code in the universe" until they actually see their first chromosome and learn how half of it codes for proteins that stop the other half coding for proteins that will fucking kill you

I certainly hope that is finally resolved! I’m well out of spoons for today.

Totally unsurprised. apnews.com/article/dona...

This morning I finally felt rested enough to clean out my freezer. To avoid wasting food that is likely consumable but no longer tasty, I made *Trump soup*. It’ll go back in the freezer to use as an ingredient over the next few months.

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.

They are bold, on the same day it comes out that the SEC seems to have been blocking investigations into Trump and friends of Trump: www.reuters.com/business/fin...

Most believable and reasonable thing I’ve read this week. 🤣 Just in case it’s unclear, I’m using sarcasm here!

You know how in a library no one’s trying to sell you anything? That’s how the internet was.

I guess 5+2 hours of sleep is an improvement. Unfortunately, one point does not make a trend.

I’d been lamenting not having enough time in background processing ie., REM sleep. Yeah, this is a problem. The backlog is bad.

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day
