Way back when Inconvenient truth came out Al Gore come to my university to do his lecture on it. I was on the fence at the time about kids, but came out of there thinking there was no point to having kids who may not survive or have to live some post-apocalyptic underground bunker nonsense.

My sister works in environmental policy and I called to tell her about the lecture and told her i don’t know why anyone should even bother having kids. She was more optimistic than I expected and said there’s a lot of good work going on to fix things and that I shouldn’t give up hope. She went on to have two kids of her own and still works in the field. But about 15 years since we first talked about it, things are considerably more bleak and when Trump won she thought about getting out entirely.

I never had kids and have no regrets (for multiple reasons). But especially now I could not fathom having the level of optimism about the future I would need to feel secure in having kids.

Every time I get a cold and have to stand in line for sudafed I think about how meth has inconvenienced me in a (relatively minor) but super annoying way. I think I’d rather people do weed or coke so I can shop unobstructed.

Oh my God this is so f-ing true. It makes me think a lot of sociology classes I took in college where we’d talk about the artificiality of money how it’s only meaningful because we have collectively decided it is. The folks who try to make it all scientific with lots of elaborate analytics and complex charts are basically just engaging a social math exercise.

Having lived in STL for about 10 years now, I know a ton of Boeing people. Every single one of them who’s still there hates it, and the others got away as quickly as they could. It’s somewhat universally known as a shit show in town, but I’m confident that info doesn’t make it to college students or new grads. The universities benefit too much from Boeing.

Yes you can! I got a booster at CVS, with same day appointment. My health insurance covered it at no cost. Doc said it’s safe to get additional and will get you a boost in protection.

Fun fact: historians think she never actually said the famous line attributed to her (“let them eat cake”), which was supposedly evidence used to show her indifference to economic troubles in France at the time. It’s believed that the line was crafted to feed anti-nobility sentiment among the working class that ultimately led to the French Revolution. (Here’s a source, but there’s many put there)

It’s a good thing that we’ve progressed to the point that nobody uses false information to drive political narratives anymore. /s

I ended up watching all 20 min of this video. Crazy amount of thought and detail he put into it, and a very impressive result.

FYI even if you have been vaccinated you may still need to get a booster.

TDLR: if you were vaccinated in the 1960s you may need a whole new course of boosters. Also, if you were vaccinated before 1989, you may need one additional shot, since the 2-shot model wasn’t recommended by the CDC until then.

Stay safe out there folks.

I look forward to Apple Marketing coming up with their usual line of nonsense, like a meaningless name for an existing capability that they are claiming to have invented.
