"Cynicism is a form of obedience." - Cornelius Eady

It's cliche, but true: Yes, even if we fight, they might win. But if we give up now, even mentally, they definitely will. Yes, it's hard not to surrender into the despair. But for the sake of all of us: fight it anyway.

It is the darkest of all possible humor that Disney is publicly rolling back their DEI initiatives and removing content warnings from older, racially-insensitive work on the same week that they are releasing a new MCU movie with a Black man as Captain America.

A team in Exeter has developed a finger-prick test to classify long Covid into three types: weak antibody response, excess immune response, and unclear patterns.

Early results suggest it could guide tailored treatments, but larger trials are needed.

I know there’s a lot of 80’s and 90’s nostalgia going around, but if you say the r-word you’re an asshole. Even 8th graders in 1994 knew that.

Fortunately, there are so many colorful retro insults to choose from! Chucklehead. Dipshit. Hoser. Nincompoop. Rapscallion. Doofus. Neo Maxi Zoom Dweebie.

Huh. News you might be able to use?
When exchanging your @signal.org contact info over an insecure channel (like a text message or DM), it's a good idea to generate a Signal link (URL) from the app, then you should RESET that link after you connect with the other person on Signal.
