It's December 10th. Have you pulled your Hot Dr Pepper set out of the basement?





Major media outlets have alluded to Luigi Mangione’s manifesto, have it in their possession, and have selectively quoted from it, but refuse to publish it in full. No surprises there.

Well, here it is, courtesy of Ken Klippenstein.

I doubt this will change anything in the short term. Nothing’s really gonna change until Congress grows a pair and passes universal healthcare.

But this incident illuminates something interesting. The American healthcare industry isn’t just hated by the left—it’s hated by most Americans! Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh learned this the hard way.

Alas, selling universal healthcare to the right is easier said than done. Right-wing politicians reflexively slap the “socialist” label on it to make it toxic. They’ll also not-so-subtly suggest that certain people don’t deserve it.

But we gotta find a way. I mean, think about it. When’s the last time an issue has united us this way? There’s an opportunity here, and I hope there are a bunch of people smarter than me ready to seize it.

Universal healthcare—let’s make it happen, people!



I just wanted to read the letter from the Nobel laureates asking the U.S. Senate not to confirm RFKJr. I went through all kinds of paywall and email wall b.s. at the NYT and what I found on archive was broken, it had bits and pieces only. Finally I found the link to the PDF (static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics/…) and I have to say the letter is pretty underwhelming.

thanks for posting. I also looked (unsuccessfully) for the actual letter...

El #softwarelibre como derecho humano

En una sociedad cada vez más dependiente de la tecnología ¿Tiene cabida el considerar la libertad del software que mueve esa tecnología que usamos como un derecho humano?

My #AntennaPodEcho for 2024.

Honorable mention to @grammargirl

I used to listen to the Grammar Girl Quick and Dirty Tips... podcast on Stitcher years ago, but it wasn't until recently that I added the feed to AntennaPod and started listening again.

in reply to nebunez

Welcome back! I love to hear that!

I'm actually curious how you feel about the show now versus how it was before.

I feel like it's changed a lot — so much so that I've been thinking about doing a survey to see how people feel about it. But as someone who stopped and came back, I think you'd have an especially interesting perspective!

in reply to Mignon Fogarty

It has changed but only in good ways! And I didn't even really notice the changes at first.

When I started listening again it felt familiar. The core format is there, but it feels like it's matured. I especially love the interviews.

A really massive sustainabiliy win from Microsoft. Their new data center design will recycle water used for cooling servers instead of consuming fresh water. This will save 125M liters of water per year.

In combination with the push for nuclear powered data centers across big tech, this should mitigate the environmental costs of the industry’s significant push into AI.

Another option is to just not push into AI. Imagine these improvements, but used for something more useful.

Of course, when a domain is actually being used for fraud and phishing, it’s almost impossible to get the registrar to do anything.

With our most recent update, creating and editing lists has never been easier in the #Mastodon web app. Lists allow you to declutter your home feed by organizing accounts into arbitrary alternative feeds. And there is some other stuff we may be working on to make this feature even more powerful...
in reply to Eugen Rochko

Last I used this feature (years ago now) I had to follow the account to add them to a List. Is that still the case?

"ICE cannot enter your home unless they have a warrant signed by a judge ... Most of the time ICE agents will only have warrants signed by ICE officers, and those warrants do not give them permission to enter your home.

If they say they have a warrant, ask them to slip it under the door. If you open the door, you are giving them permission to enter your home. This is why it is important to keep your door closed during the entire interaction with ICE."

A little late to the party, but learning screen command is rocking my world right now. Simple "screen -L -S sessionname" creates persistent session with logging for notes.

When juggling around multiple remote machines for data crunching, terminal multiplexer like this seems essential.

as a grad student, before i knew about this, i closed my laptop while it was running a job and the screen melted.

This idea keeps sticking with me—that we have just seen a transformation in US national politics, from "campaign finance" to "campaign financialization," from funding campaigns to campaigns as vehicles for explicit investment and speculation. nathanschneider.info/2024/11/t…

Does this seem right?
