I suppose it's about time I make an introductory thread.
Hi, I'm Jason. I came over from the other site when Blue Sky was still invite only, roughly a couple months before that ended, IIRC.
I'm here to mostly have light hearted friendly fun with others.

Are we doing this again? The post office is a service, paid for by taxes. It doesn’t matter how much money it does or doesn’t make, it literally CANNOT go out of business unless the shitheads in charge actively kill it. Which Republicans have been trying to do for literally decades.
🚨SCOOP: Amazon is preparing to sever ties with USPS and expand its shipping network as a true coast-to-coast rival.
It could cost USPS more than *$6 billion* a year in lost revenue, and lead Amazon to dominate yet another facet of the economy.
USPS posted a *$9 billion* loss in 2025.

A while ago I watched the first two, and most of the third season of "Better Call Saul." Since I remembered jack about it, I've restarted it.

Speaking as a Caucasiologist (though not one who knows Armenian well enough to do said checking), this article kind of lost me when it said it relied on AI for the cross-checking. If you're testing how well something works, you absolutely need a human expert to do the cross-checking for sense.

Burrito has been *very needy* the past week and I’m wondering if wanting way more cuddles and love is a normal thing that cats do when they get older?

Framing GenAI as a battle between teachers and students is a red herring. Students and educators are on the same side. The real opposition are the data extraction firms and brokerages and their allies among the managerial class.

The effects of the ACIP poisoned recommendations may not be seen clearly at scale for years.
But every child that unnecessarily develops HepB-associated chronic liver disease and cancer is the fault of those on that committee, the HHS Secretary, and those that capitulated to put him in power.

Well this is a first since Sunday, I'm merely tired and achey, NOT so fatigued as to need to sleep after being up for 2 hours. (been up for 4 hours, now) My voice is still rough sounding, but this is an improvement.

Reimer is right about the near-term risk of losing US flu sequencing. It makes vaccine mismatch more likely.
But the deeper issue is epistemology.
Immunization decisions have always leaned on an assumption that the US science apparatus would remain politically insulated. That assumption is gone...

The Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas and nooses as hate symbols.
This action, coupled with the President's call to hang Democratic members of Congress - both in the past few hrs - are more than "potentially divisive."
They are vile, unconscionable, and dangerous.
