Facebook, whistleblower, eating disorders
"what's super tragic is Facebook's own research says, as these young women begin to consume this eating disorder content, they get more and more depressed. And it actually makes them use the app more… they end up in this feedback cycle where they hate their bodies more and more. Facebook's own research says it is not just that Instagram is dangerous for teenagers, that it harms teenagers, it's that it is distinctly worse than other forms of social media."
Facebook, whistleblower, politics
"a complaint to Facebook by major political parties across Europe [in 2019] says that the parties "feel strongly that [Facebook's] algorithm has forced them to skew negative in their comms on Facebook… leading them into more extreme policy positions.""
"The political parties were essentially saying to Facebook… your algorithm is changing the way we lead our countries… You are forcing us to take positions that we don't like, that we know are bad for society."
Anyways.
If anyone wants to help make up for the nearly fucking 600 im going to miss (300 this paycheck, 300 the next one) due to Hurricane Nicolas....

My 4-year-old, the morbid one, was lying on top of his mother tonight before falling asleep. His older sibling commented "mom is like your couch, and you're lying on her".
He responded "No, she's like a coffin. And I'm lying inside the coffing, and I'm going to sleep here."
Good for you, child Dracul. Good for you.
It's Stanislav Petrov day!

covid-19, White House, +
Some notable points in the new White House plan:
- vaccination or weekly negative testing for all companies with 100+ employees, with mandatory paid time off to do so
- vaccination for all Federal employees and contractors, and all Medicare & Medicaid care workers
Transitioning in mid-life
