“Facebook has already shifted users’ agreements for UK users away from the EU to its US terms, does not allow UK users to opt-out of personalised advertisements, nor do they plan to switch to a consent-based model of advertising like is happening in Europe.

Happy 80th birthday to seminal freaky comic artist Robert Crumb, tempering the overweening exuberance of his fellow Boomers since the Haight-Ashbury days.

'Recently Dr. Peter Hotez, a leading vaccine scientist and a frequent target of anti-vaxxer harassment, expressed some puzzlement in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

OK, I can help with that. Also, welcome to my world.'

So now we have "Many Coauthors Study" to determine which of Gino's papers were based on data she collected. Probably necessary to clarify which studies are trustworthy but, my goodness, it's so depressing to see so much time taken up on this, when people could and should be doing more interesting things.

Fun reminder that Lucille Ball is the only reason that Star Trek exists.

As the head of Desilu Productions, she green-lighted a pilot; then when it was deemed "too cerebral" by the networks, funded a financially-risky SECOND pilot that got the series picked up by NBC.
