one more corn post, then I promise no more. Just really pleased with this old breed. No water, no chemicals, no anything. If the deer eat some IDGAF.

Lyft will pay drivers' legal fees for SB8 and has donated $1M to Planned Parenthood.

"This law is incompatible with people's basic rights to privacy, our community guidelines, the spirit of rideshare, and our values as a company. "

Good start, let's hear from some more corporate "citizens"

Apropos Texas

Listening while I file suit against Abbott for abetting abortions. Pretty sure he did, anyway I just feel like suing him.

great, long interview with Tufekci, who I am sad to learn has left UNC (along with many other bright lights) (damned stupid Board of Governors)

The problems COVID-19 revealed in our institutions—and how to fix them.

Had me at, " Molded from a single sheet of high molecular polyethylene".

Feel a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly asked for their basic human rights?

The Chinese Supreme People's Court did, and they agreed. It's a small start: theregister.com/2021/08/30/can

Hey DC still has cicadas but the news cycle has moved on so we can't talk about cicadas.


I knew Tesla's glorified cruise control was a sorry mess but this here shocked me:

...seeking comment from Tesla, which has disbanded its media relations office.

Conversation #2:

God: I’d like you to protect your family.

Man: You bet. I’m ready. If anyone touches my kids, they are dead meat.

God. Okay. Well, to protect your family, the thing I need you to do is teach thorough hand-washing.
[same thread]

Man: Hey God, I just want you to know I am committed to protecting my family at all costs.

God: Gosh, that’s great to hear.

Wow, a lot to unpack with this self-defeating move by Google.

1. Google _saves_ real estate money w/remote workers
2. ...but disproportionately charges (pay cut) those who can't afford to live close
3. ...by conflating MSA with 'same city' which is non-applicable anyway for housing costs
