Whenever I post about data privacy there’s always some asshole who’s like “you already gave away all your data who cares it’s not that big” and that’s…literally the kind of attitude that killed our data privacy to begin with stop trying to be a know-it-all edgelord it’s good to care about this stuff

Happy Science Friday, folks!

Ten years ago on Reddit, LeVar Burton told a story about how as a teenager he learned that it's wrong to hurt an insect.

It stuck with me and I remembered it today after seeing whom he is willing to fight. I'm not on Reddit anymore, but I found it and made a screenshot.

I feel like the definition of being at “high risk” from covid really needs to include “high probability of messing up your health and life for months or years” not just “likely to immediately kill you.”

A 9% chance that I’m gonna be sick for at least three months is a pretty high risk!

It's happening!! The UAW will start their strike tonight, and for the first time in history they'll target all three big auto companies at the same time.

At midnight tonight workers will begin to strike at one plant of each corporation. Let's fucking go.
