How Big is YouTube? (ethanzuckerman.com)

I got interested in this question a few years ago, when I started writing about the “denominator problem”. A great deal of social media research focuses on finding unwanted behavior – mis/disinformation, hate speech – on platforms. This isn’t that hard to do: search for “white genocide” or “ivermectin” and...

Forty cubits by forty cubits.

Remark the cat

Who hesitates toward you in the light of the door

Which opens on her like a grin.

You see the border of her dress

Is torn and stained with sand,

And you see the corner of her eye

Twists like a crooked pin.

Wayfair CEO sends a harsh wake-up call to employees (www.thestreet.com)

The CEO recently informed employees that further blurring the line between work and life is the recipe for success and is pushing for staff to put in more overtime, according to an email Shah wrote to his employees, which was obtained by Business Insider last week....

joshuanozzi,

Maybe if all those employees were paid the kind of salary, bonuses, etc. this industrial-size douchebag gets, they’d be as motivated as he is to make more of their lives about the company, but that’s never going to happen. Instead, he’ll drive the company into the ground, take his money, and move on while celebrating his business prowess.

joshuanozzi,

The bitey one.

joshuanozzi,

That’s what they want you to who!!!

joshuanozzi,

The word we use for ours is “institutionalized.”

joshuanozzi,

Well okay, but it’s still a great sweater.

joshuanozzi,

(Immediately downloads, tries it on selfie)

joshuanozzi,

This is almost funny.

Almost.

joshuanozzi,

That’s cruel. Those poor snakes.

joshuanozzi,

Um. That would be school.

(looks at school)

Oh. Right.

joshuanozzi,

MAGA death threats to nuns in 3…2…

*Funded by the citizens, is a clearer way to make that point. If the citizens subsidized any significant portion of that drug’s development, the company behind it should get “royalties” for the subsidized portion, and the drug should go on a government-controlled-price list. Don’t like it? No treasury shovel-outs for you.

joshuanozzi,

Early, undocumented, mass implantation in human subjects WOULD explain some of the fanboyism of late…

joshuanozzi,

Just look at their sweet, patriotic, white faces! They’ve learned their lesson and are really sorry and they said you’re really pretty. Can’t we just let bygones be bygones? Pweety pwease?

Emails Reveal How a Hospital Bowed to Political Pressure to Stop Treating Trans Teens (www.propublica.org)

The Medical University of South Carolina initially said it wouldn’t be affected by a law banning use of state funds for treatment “furthering the gender transition” of children under 16. Months later, it cut off that care to all trans minors....

joshuanozzi,

I think it “turns out” you’re just an anti-trans liar making things up to support your bigotry. Just stop.

joshuanozzi,

Jesus, Joe, why say that? You’ll lose a lot of people who are on the fence by admitting your heart’s not really in it.

He may be the best we’ve got, and I’m still voting for him for the same reason he’s running, but Biden has been such a terrible disappointment. He’s wasted the time he’s had.

Texas high school sends Black student back to in-school suspension over his locs hairstyle (apnews.com)

The student, Darryl George, was suspended for 13 days because his hair is out of compliance when let down, according to a disciplinary notice issued by Barbers Hill High School in Mont Belvieu, Texas. It was his first day back at the school after spending a month at an off-site disciplinary program....

joshuanozzi,

A dread-ful situation, forcing this young man to cut short his education.

But seriously, fuck those racists who are clearly violating their state law.

joshuanozzi,

Well thank fuck these school officials are protecting students from this hairrorist.

joshuanozzi,

Wh…why are we keeping it in silos?

joshuanozzi,

Though there may be a slight whistling noise as he does so…

joshuanozzi,

The Party of Family wants to go back to natural selection, then? Fine. This’ll select for general familial intelligence.

joshuanozzi,

I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make, but mine is that actively choosing not to vaccinate a child against a common and deadly virus when you are able is actively endangering them (and of course others) for no good reason.

Presumably your child with a non-existent immune system is highly vulnerable to pretty much everything, so you are taking extra steps to protect them, like a responsible, loving, non-psychotic parent.

To be clear: I absolutely disagree with these assholes and their reckless endangerment of children, their own and others. I think if they get their way, we should still enforce required schooling but at a (festering) private school at their own expense.

joshuanozzi,

I’m relieved. I guess in a nutshell, I was (darkly) musing that if they get their way (and damn the consequences), one of the consequences will be that the stupidity will be strongly self-limiting within a generation.

I’d rather these fuckwits got a clue, but they’ll threaten to shoot you for trying to teach them something, so …?
