As an industrial engineer I find the logistics of cruise ships fascinating. How does a 2000 person ship turn over and prepare for 8 days at sea in roughly 12 hours?

Yep, except I'm a bit older and got a precursor recession to go on top of all of that

The tariffs are bad, and the impact to the stock market is really going to hurt. But I didn't think people are grasping just what the decline in the USD is going to do to prices and our economy overall.

I'm 18. The economy enters a once-in-a-century recession. A Republican president is responsible.
I'm 29. There is once-in-a-century pandemic that leads to a once-in-century-recession. A Republican is responsible.
I'm 35. Tarriffs trigger a once-in-a-century recession. A Republican is responsible.

How did I not know about the legal attack on 504?
My child would literally not have lived to the end of high school without an appropriate 504 (and IEP).
The vector of the attack is through gender dysphoria, but they're going after the whole thing.

Is it weird that I've had to debug this dishwasher twice? I feel like that's weird. And I don't mean fixing programming; I had to remove bug dung from the electronics because they were shorting it out.

On the one hand, my generation is fully prepared for this. I'm dusting off my Atari 2600 right now to work on my skills!

Space agencies are keeping a close eye on a recently discovered asteroid that has a small chance of impacting Earth. Named 2024 YR4, the asteroid has a 1.2% chance of hitting our planet on December 22, 2032, the European Space Agency and NASA have found.

Musk joins German far right's opening rally remotely, instructs Germans to stop feeling guilty and reminds them how impressed Caesar had been with German tribes' ability to fight.

One pastor in this article reflects Christ. The other is an whitewashed sepulchre with a famous father and a love for power
FWIW, Budde told me she was initially more concerned about people criticizing her for taking a pleading tone — i.e., not challenging Trump more defiantly.
But I think folks underestimated the optics, or how some conservatives react to liberal Christians. religionnews.com/2025/01/22/a...

Thing is, it's tough when the people we're talking about are friends and family. It's one thing to kick a stranger out of a bar, but it's another to deal with this on a personal level, especially if you want to keep the relationship.
In the end, there's no such thing as a good Nazi

I respect everyone who's doing a full media blackout. I'm not doing that, so I'm going to follow the advice I've seen from others and have literally anything that isn't political playing.
It's too bad we're under a winter weather watch, so I can't fully ignore everything right now.

This form of radicalization is horrific on many levels.
Elevate a man like Trump. Put him on all the screens. Teach about him in school. Put his face on every corner.
Expect your children to start learning the lessons you taught them.
I'm so deeply disturbed that we have failed the next generation so badly.
