The thing about being ruled by a gerontocracy is that cohort mortality is a probability density, meaning all these fuckers start dying around the same time -- in clusters. The same Weibull Distribution "bathtub curve" explains why batches of light bulbs and hard drives all die in the same month.
A line graph plotting the probability density function of a Weibull distribution over time. The horizontal axis represents elapsed time, and the vertical axis represents the probability of failure. The curve models a wear-out scenario where the shape parameter is greater than one.At the beginning of the timeline, the line starts near zero, indicating a very low risk of early failure. It remains low and relatively flat across the initial and middle stages of life. As time advances toward the right, the line curves sharply upward (called the "bathtub curve" because it resembles the back of a bathtub. It forms a steep, narrow peak that represents a concentrated cluster of failures near the end of the maximum lifespan. After reaching this maximum peak, the curve plunges rapidly back down to zero, indicating that nearly all subjects in the population have failed.

Am I being over-sensitive here or does the term “side effects” have an inherent negative connotation and therefore this headline is sci-comm malpractice? The “side effects” are reduced risk of serious cardiac complications and reduced risk of all-cause cardiac events. Benefits. That’s the word.

I know this is not the biggest concern going these days, but it stresses me out that basically every artist/writer/critic is now expected to create their own tiny empire instead of getting paid by any existing entity to perform a job they've worked to get good at!!!!

Morning everyone. Do you know that your President just exempted himself, his family, and all his family's companies from our tax laws? You are subject to the law. Now he is not. No one should not pretend this is okay or normal. It's an ongoing constitutional crisis.

Deploying ICE at airports is to normalize their transition from being a special operation targeting immigrants to being an entity that polices all. This is the production of the American Gestapo, one institution at a time.

USA TODAY STORY: 

Kat Abughazaleh is speaking to Gen Z. Democrats should listen. | Opinion

What I hope Democrats glean from Kat Abughazaleh's campaign, regardless of whether she wins, is that Gen Z is not content being fed the same talking points Democrats have been making since 2016.

By Sara Pequeño USA TODAY
Updated March 16, 2026, 11:29 a.m. ET

Photo of Democratic congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh addresses supporters in Chicago after pleading not guilty Nov. 12, 2025, to charges filed in connection with a protest against the Trump administration's mass deportation campaign. Michael Lori/USA TODAYDuring a February debate hosted by Fox 32 Chicago, Kat Abughazaleh said everything I've seen my friends say on Instagram in the past two years.

And there was no skirting around sensitive subjects during her answers. The candidate running for Illinois' gth Congressional District in the U.S. House called for the abolition of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Abughazaleh called the actions of Israel a "genocide" and labeled Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a "war criminal." She brought up concerns about artificial intelligence and plugged her campaign office, which doubles as a mutual aid hub to help constituents in need.

The former journalist and content creator had several moments where she looked directly into the camera and talked to viewers directly - at one point even pulling a brief "Office"-style glance at the camera while her opponents, Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss and state Sen. Laura Fine, bickered over the involvement of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) in the Democratic race.

Yet throughout everything, Abughazaleh's values shine through.

Her campaign office's mutual aid hub has served thousands in the community and is proving to Democrats that there are things they could be doing now to help their communities. She has been admonished by Democratic politicos who feel her campaign is radical, yet the same people want to see the party capture authenticity like hers.

Photo of Kat, main headshot."So much of our campaign has been experimental and honestly laughed at by a lot of people who have been in politics for a long time," Abughazaleh said. "And then they see that it works, and then they get mad."

They get more than mad - they get scared. They're scared of losing power, and they're scared that someone with no political experience but the values they're scared to espouse is getting so much attention for being what the Democratic Party has been scared to be.

"It's been almost a year now, and this campaign has been run by the hard work and faith of so many incredible people from our staff to our volunteers, and the entire time we have been told that we have no chance, that we have no shot, that this could never work," Abughazaleh said. "And now organizations like AIPAC are panicking because they realize that we're going to win. And we knew the entire time."

What I hope Democratic leaders glean from Abughazaleh's campaign for U.S. Congress, regardless of whether she wins, is that Gen Z is not content being fed the same talking points Democrats have been making since 2016. We want to see the party take charge and do everything in its power to help people. And if we don't get it from those now in office, we will happily run to replace them.

As AI, deepfakes etc. become ubiquitous, people who may have stopped reading newspapers are going to get tired of trying to figure out what's real and go back to reliable sources of information that they don't have to second-guess. Outlets that don't paywall will be first in line for those eyes.
