Another stray winter thought, maybe. Talked to a couple of other engineers in office yesterday and one from Scandinavian office today and none of them looked well. Overly flushed and blotchy, looking exhausted, watery near tears eyes. Part assuming this is the weather/darkness and folk are worn out.

Of course, the alternative is we're all stressed by work, exhausted from management changes/excess workloads/poor deadline management, and everyone at end of their tether. I've never seen so many colleagues looking utterly battered.

Grim out there, but on this Thanksgiving Day, grateful to all who care, who try to make things better, who persist in being decent in the face of ugliness.

Next time you're jolted awake at the worst possible time—in the middle of a really-deep sleep phase—and spend minutes or more unable to think straight, just shout

Sleep supports brain health partly by regulating fluid dynamics to clear waste. @ulvlarsen.bsky.social &co probe the relation between #sleep & fluid movement in the human #brain, finding that #SleepPressure & intensity have distinct effects on brain pulsations @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/3XQWCL6

This Creedence from 1970’s been sounding exponentially prescient for quite a while now
I went down Virginia, seekin’ shelter from the storm
Caught up in the fable
I watched the tower grow
Five Year Plans and New Deals, wrapped in golden chains
And I wonder, still I wonder, who’ll stop the rain?

My grandfather went through a period where he was tuning into Rush Limbaugh to “know his enemy,” and let me tell you it did NOT improve his thinking.
This is the correct take. Stewing in white supremacist propaganda is bad for your thinking. And if think you are so savvy that it won’t impact you, you are the exact kind of mark they are slowly converting (I’m looking at you, centrist pundits).
It’s really funny how a generation will roll its eyes at parents who watch Fox News but doesn’t see why being immersed in Twitter is having the same effect. Lots of serious people show up on Fox News too but that shouldn’t be your primary source on the news.

If people want to understand why American politics went bananas in 2012, the reason is that the moderate black President took a modest but consequential step toward decoupling healthcare from employment and every billionaire immediately poured their entire portfolio into race-hate media

National parks have SO MANY people from other countries (since they get real vacations!)
And they spend a lot of money on hotels, food, souvenirs, etc.
This is unbelievably dumb, it will destroy entire tourist towns

Taps are running dry in Iran. Decades of bad decisions are to blame.
Iran’s water crisis is so dire the president has proposed evacuating the capital. Largely at fault are official policies that exhausted precious water resources.
