UK government "lost" 16k Covid cases because it used Excel to track them but doesn't know how to Excel

MS Excel was created in Hell to torture humanity.

This shines an important light on ⊥rump’s behavior over the weekend and demonstrates clearly that there are no adults left in his administration.

Vanity Fair: Trump's children wish he would stop manic-tweeting

My late wife took Decadron as part of her chemotherapy cocktail. It lasts a bit more than 24 hours, and her moods changed like clockwork. First came energy, then brain fog started creeping in. There was a 3 hour window of hair trigger crabby, while the brain fog arrived in full force. At which point this normally brilliant woman (math Phd from MIT, MPH, Erdös #2, 80+ papers, approaching 10K cites) couldn’t concentrate sufficiently to watch the most banal TV we could find, a pick-a-house HGTV…

Now Baby Pandas are getting Gender Reveal parties, too

Blockchain, the amazing solution for almost nothing

I accept the veracity of this anecdote … primarily because of the properly matched parentheses.

Catholic Priest arrested for filming a sex tape on the altar with 2 dominatrices

Yeesh, what a cloister fuck.

Too much fun on the topic of “are we living in a simulation.”

New research: There's a 50-50 chance we're living in a simulation and here's how to find out

MEANWHILE, IN REALITY PRIME: Any luck yet? —No. A few sim-civilizations sort of toyed with the idea, but mostly they made jokes about it. Make it more obvious, and try again. —Well, that’s the thing, right? It’s already ridiculous. Have you seen the physics we’ve given them? We’re using half our active memory just keeping track of all the ad hoc rules we had to invent to make it look obvious enough that it was constructed. Honestly, I’m afraid if they do figure out the simulation bit, they’l…

2020 Election Thread (formerly: 2020 Presidential Candidates Thread) (Part 1)

Pretty far off from estimating the number of jelly beans in a jar or bubbles in a bar of soap. But not all THAT far off. Voter suppression is voter suppression is voter suppression. Mainstream media should be covering that and exposing it 24-7, instead of context-free stories about intrepid voters standing in line for hours on end.

“The Empire is obviously completely beholden to “Big Death Star” because of some contracts kick-back thing, or why are they always building new ones when they’re so easily destroyed?”

Review: Star Wars Squadrons

It doesn’t even have to be a flashback, just another new Death Star! The Empire is obviously completely beholden to “Big Death Star” because of some contracts kick-back thing, or why are they always building new ones when they’re so easily destroyed? I was totally disappointed when the last movie didn’t end with, like, three Death Stars. Besides, who doesn’t want to fly down that trench? A Death Star campaign should be the first DLC.

Libertarians exit, pursued by bears

I once read something saying that Americans and Canadians took opposite lessons from frontier life. Americans learned that you are on your own and must not be dependent on anyone except yourself. Canadians learned that you cannot survive on your own and you have to help your neighbours because one day you will need their help.

News about Covid-19 should be illegal, tweets Trump

I know hating America is basically a sport in Europe (and somewhat in Canada) but before you fall and hurt yourself from that high horse, take some advice from a non-American who has lived in the US for 20+ years- people are trying. The US is so so so much wealthier than you can possibly imagine from any other country. That wealth is concentrated and able to affect change that goes against what most people living here want. That’s a much tougher fight than you have if you were born into an alre…

Biden believes he's "on track to win this election"

I’m so tired. I’m tired of watching us travel down this path that we’ve been on most of my life now. Moving away from progress, rejecting social reforms that benefit the people, becoming meaner, nastier, greedier. So. Fucking. Tired. It hurts because everyone I love is a target now. The country I valued - one that really only existed in myth, never reality, but was a beautiful dream - is on the chopping block and is being cut to pieces. I’m so fucking tired of fighting and marching and screami…
