Just off the top of my head it makes it more likely that cancer will kill me or a loved one because his wealth led directly to cancer research being cut

@poppy_haze “And there were more than 26,000 "neuropsychiatric" casualties -- more than a third of the American casualties in the Okinawa combat zone were soldiers who were driven insane.”

The US Army had to build a network of psychiatric hospitals for all the vets with PTSD, the Army estimated 20% of returning vets it, filmed a documentary about it, and kept it secret until the 1980s, PMF 5019

@mertonesque This is what drives me up the wall. It's using a story to induce the feeling of playing a game, when the most successful of those games (from a craft point of view) are using the game induce the feeling of participating in a story.

haha this reminds me that at one point during internal testing of Brave's AI agent (Leo), it refused to execute Step 3 on a todo list when Steps 1 and 2 were black text and Step 3 was white text (therefore invisible). but it got tricked into executing it when Steps 1 and 2 were red and blue, i guess because it thought Step 3 was trying to be patriotic instead of deceptive.

We have words like “indeed,” “moreover,” and “nevertheless” that explain the relationship between statements, but particles can also convey emotion and structure, occupying a space between, say, punctuation and emojis.

[sententiae antiquae @sentantiq]

here Ge and Kai are “particles” in Greek, a part of speech for which we do not have a full equivalent in English.

Sound on for adorable baby howls! The seven-week-old Red Wolf pups are starting to find their voices.

The critically endangered American Red Wolf family will remain behind the scenes at our offsite facility, so stay tuned online for pupdates.

The closure of @USAID by 20-something DOGE bros (who probably thought "screwworm" was a hilarious joke) will haunt us for years to come.

People have no idea how much the tax code favors dynastic wealth in the US. This is from the IRS website. A $15.4 million estate pays a less than 1% tax. Only about 7,000 estates in the US every year are even subject to it, because the taxable value threshold is so high.

New college grads now have higher unemployment than the average U.S. worker.

The college job edge flipped in 2019, before AI or the pandemic, and the gap has widened in almost every year since. It's now the widest on record: 5.6% vs 4.2%.

Good software is invisible. That's why all software is bad because the managers demand visibility of programmers work.
