That means $54,000,000,000 to Ukraine in less than 4 months.

“How will we pay for it” never seems to apply to wars, just the basic needs of the American people.

Turns out avocados were the real inflation hedge all along.

this conversation about consciousness and emotions and death with an AI named LaMBDA at Google is absolutely chilling

this is without-a-doubt one of the craziest things I've ever seen technology do, I almost can't believe it's real

wow @nitashatiku

An interview LaMDA. Google might call this sharing proprietary property. I call it sharing a discussion that I had with one of my coworkers.

We lost the culture war. And we lost it without even using our most powerful cultural artillery—narrative. Except for a few outliers, the vast majority of media produced in 2020-2022 has chosen to completely ignore the existence of the disease that is killing millions. 4/

There's a common myth being passed around that longCOVID is rare, that it only affects medically infirm people, that it can't happen to me. Here's a short thread on the famous people that are dealing with #longCOVID 1/

[Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid]

American Exceptionalism

United States has 4% of world's population and:
•16% of world's COVID deaths
•25% of world's prison population
•Lowest life expectancy & highest maternal & infant mortality among developed nations
•Ranks 122nd in safety
•#1 military spending globally

[Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid]

Do gun laws work? Here's the facts:
•9 of top 10 states w/strictest gun laws are the safest against gun violence—they're BLUE.
•9 of top 10 states w/weakest gun laws suffer the most gun violence—they're RED.

This is why we need federal gun legislation—to protect all Americans.

So just to recap: Yesterday the @CDCgov acknowledged that 1 in 5 people will develop a new health condition (#LongCovid) after infection.

Then today, the biggest study to date notes vaccines only reduce Long Covid incidence by 15%.

Anybody want to talk about this?

Has anyone been called an “edge case” before? Trying to decide if this is a point of pride…
