The value of the verified blue check mark is not for the person who is verified. The value is to the rest of us so we know they are who they say they are. To charge the verified person $8 has the incentive structure backwards.

I will applaud Republicans as they run their victory lap on the lab leak hypothesis. My only request is that they loudly condemn all of the ivermectin and anti-vax nonsense that Republicans have been spouting for the last two years. Deal?

The Cochrane mask study actually says informative things on how to prevent the spread of Covid. But the study is being poorly reported on. It says high quality masks are effective but mask mandates have not worked due to poor compliance. cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi… 1/x

Children were probably spreading Covid the most. Closing down schools was a good move. “Younger children are least capable of hygienic behaviour themselves, and have longer‐lived infections and greater social contact, thereby acting as portals of infection into the household.”

There is a lot of cause for hope! Global poverty has been plummeting. You have to be delusional to think we are worse off today compared to the decades and centuries past.

If you want a cheap house wait for a recession but don’t wish for the 1960s. The cost of housing in the 1960s was nearly 7 times the average salary, similar to today. Housing was cheapest in 2010 when it was closer to 5 times the average salary.

The poverty rate in the US is half of what it was in the 1950s. And yes, capitalism did that.
Capitalism created the poverty that we now see.

Hot Take: Avatar is the #1 and #4 top grossing movies of all time because they are fantastic. It’s that simple. We will almost certainly get a third one. #AvatarTheWayOfWater

Yes we have had over a million excess deaths since March of 2020, which was long before we had a vaccine. What do you think started in March of 2020 that might have caused this? (Excess deaths is blue bars above red line.) cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid…

I don’t know why Republican election deniers even bother showing up to the polls. Nearly a third of Republicans think the last election was not legitimate.

Tech jobs had a very tiny decrease from last month going from 3,124,000 jobs to 3,119,000 jobs today. All the headlines about tech job layoffs were not very representative as the industry as a whole.
