...only it's unbelievably embarrassing and uncool
A friend made a prediction I can't get out of my mind.

Soon, reality will become too expensive for most people, and the virtual world will become the most accessible.

Men are increasingly unable to afford courtship, marriage, and educational parity with real women.

Enter the AI girlfriends.
Oh my god. X is hiring a full-stack engineer to make female anime waifus.

And yes, it's real. x.com/i/jobs/19452...

Now under Trump, the NIH says it is cutting ~$9 billion in federal research grants supporting medical research ranging from cancer to Alzheimer's diseases.

“I think it’s going to destroy research universities in the short term, and I don’t know after that." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/u...
Deep Cuts to Medical Research Funds Could Hobble University Budgets
Grants from the National Institutes of Health come with additional money for overhead. Proposed funding cuts would leave colleges with large budget gaps.

Speaking of birthdays: Happy Birthday (a day late) to Charles Dickens, one of the greatest storytellers ever. My favorites? David Copperfield, Little Dorrit and, of course, A Christmas Carol.

Trump has named Charles Kushner, father of Jared Kushner, as ambassador to France. The elder Kushner once pleaded guilty to tax evasion and making illegal campaign contributions. Trump pardoned him in 2020.

“L’état, c’est moi,” as the saying goes.

Here you go, France. A nepo criminal!
