Vice has filed for bankruptcy - and a group of lenders is poised to buy it for $225 million. Its founder, Shane Smith has reportedly taken more than $100 million out of Vice. And yet somehow the lenders see a continued role for him at the company. Wild. Vice is less a cautionary tale about relying too heavily on social media platforms for revenue and more evidence that in media the loudest, most shameless con artist and bully in the room always gets away with it.

“The story of the second year of the pandemic is a story of white mortality rates increasing without a marked decline in Black and Hispanic mortality rates,” Stokes said. “The [racial] disparities declined in the second year, but not because rates improved noticeably for Black and Hispanic populations. It was more that white death rates got worse due to partisanship and misinformation.”

Once upon a time -- many, many years ago and late one night -- I entered the ARPANET (the Internet's ancestor) computer room at UCLA to do some work on ARPANET host #1 -- the DEC PDP-11/45 that was UNIX UCLA-ATS.
But something was wrong. The system was behaving very oddly. It was up, and not under heavy load, but ... it was as if it kept starting and stopping. When I'd type there'd be activity -- I could see it on the front panel lights, but when I stopped typing ... everything seemed to stop. I could get keyboard echos, and then a response ... but then everything would stop again.
Normal boot wasn't working either, but it was possible to reboot from the emergency DECtape.
But still clearly failing overall.
When we ultimately found out what the problem was, I was quite amused. The real-time clock hardware had failed, so the process scheduler was not cycling properly. However, whenever someone typed, the keyboard interrupt would push the scheduler so there'd be some action -- but then it would stop again until there was more typing and more interrupts.
Basically, the system was operating as if on a hand crank. Live long enough, and you see almost everything. -L

Back when Isle of Dogs came out the Alamo Drafthouse briefly had popcorn seasoned with nanami togarashi and it was sooo good.
I have no idea why it hasn't caught on more broadly as a trend for seasoning popcorn/chips/wings etc. I feel like it's one visionary at a snackfood company away from happening

An excellent little machine by @North has just arrived. I plan to use it to implement an inventory system at home to reduce waste, since it's disgracefully easier to order new parts than remember what I already have. I intend to use it together with InvenTree and Ki-nTree to get an accurate count of my personal components stock. #electronics

@alex You pointed out an interesting issue of spam, etc, going FROM mastodon servers TO Threads as a potential issue for them as they look at real world complexity in adopting ActivityPub. Can you think of any structural or tech features that we might build in the next 4 months to alleviate that? Would seem an issue we would need to solve for Tumblr, etc, as well…

" There is an argument that it is ethnically targeted," Kennedy said of the virus, according to the Post. "COVID-19 attacks certain races disproportionately... COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese."
This man is a TOTAL FUCKING LUNATIC.
RFK Jr. suggests COVID-19 could have been 'ethnically targeted' to spare Jews
