Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

Hemp-based THC products, including delta-8 gummies, are hugely popular in states that don't have legal weed. The spending bill would effectively ban all of them: www.wired.com/story/propos...

When the median homebuyer is nearing retirement, you don’t have a housing market. You have a crisis.
The median age of all U.S. homebuyers is now 59 years old.
Just 15 years ago, it was 39 years old.

The absolute Insanity of this idea, because where I grew up, there could well have been a foot of snow on the ground for Thanksgiving.

As I read this, I'm thinking about the man I interviewed who had to be hospitalized from the Covid he caught at the poultry processing plant and he got fired for it and he still has long Covid
During the height of the pandemic, Tyson used Palantir to predict Covid-19 infections among meatpacking workers down to a nearly exactly figure. But rather than using this data to increase worker protections, Tyson used it plan for labor shortages + plant closures
