The thing about looking for a job is that it's almost impossible to look for a job HARDER -- there are only so many jobs posted in a day, you're either qualified for them or not, you send off a couple of applications, do a little networking, and then... what? 😔

It’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.

My favorite thing on the internet is when influencers post incredibly specific things that nobody has ever thought about in their lives like it is extremely controversial like “everyone told us that we were absolutely crazy to put floral wallpaper inside our RV but we did it anyway!!!!!”

When people asked early in the administration how we could lose access to vaccines -pediatricians were most worried about the dissolution of the ACIP.

The word “login” comes from throwing a log attached to a rope with knots overboard a ship to see how many knots go by over time (see also, knots as speed). You’d then put that info in the “log book.” You’d “log in” on a regular basis. This wasn’t from 1959, it was likely from 1689! Etymology baby!

A charred scroll recovered from a Roman villa that was buried under ash when Mount Vesuvius erupted nearly 2,000 years ago has been identified as the influential work of an ancient Greek philosopher.
Researchers discovered the title and author on the Herculaneum scroll after X-raying the carbonised papyrus and virtually unwrapping it on a computer, the first time such crucial details have been gleaned from the approach. Continue reading...

Woke up to read that the US tariffs on China are now up to 245%, because the 145% yesterday just wasn’t high enough.
Hopefully this will be short term, but the consequences will be felt long-term as many small businesses may not be able to wait it out.
