A thread on the not-user-centered new Facebook UI.

FTR, I kept returning to "old" FB until it was no longer an option. Some of you may already know all of these horrible things ...

First up: one Facebook tab in Safari slowed my MBP enough for an alert (I could hear the fan) Image
Second, it's no longer straight foward to approve a post to appear on your timeline? Clicking "notification" used to take you to timeline hide/approve page. No longer. If you aren't going to do that, logically the option would be on these three dots...but logic was not deployed. Image
Third .... before this new UI change, when I decided to accept a friend request from a FoaF (AKA "acquaintance") ... I could easily AND RIGHT THEN categorize that relationship as acquaintance. THAT OPTION HAS DISAPPEARED. FB is making it hard to segregate post audience.
Fourth ... ARE YOU KIDDING ME? In Safari (I try to segregate Google and Facebook) ... you can't read the last comment in a long string. Or reply to it (at least if you are the author of it). Image

Saturday does not mark 10 day post-positive/symptom isolation period. IF it does, then Trump tested positive/had symptoms on Wed 30 Sept not sometime after 6 pm but before midnight on Th 01 Oct. Or Conley can't count.

The CDC says you isolate until 10 DAYS AFTER symptom onset/testing positive + no fever.
The day it starts is day zero, not day one. Which means Sun, 11 Oct. And "letter of a day=24 hours" means LATE 11 Oct or technically 12 Oct.
Unless they've been lying.

It's not as though Conley has demonstrated the ability to do math or keep timelines straight or basically keep anything straight:

I learned this at @AspenInstitute webinar
No state or federal law authorizes people to gather with guns and declare themselves a militia.

Georgetown fact sheets for each state.
People with guns aren't welcome at polls, either.

Contrary to far right rhetoric, in 1886 (upheld in 2008) the SCOTUS ruled that the Second Amendment “does not
prevent the prohibition of private paramilitary organizations.”
My state of Washington:
The Washington Constitution forbids private military units from operating outside state authority, providing that “[t]he military shall be in strict subordination to the civil power.”

What’s missing in this cogent (read it!) analysis of faux ‘strength’ is that it is central to the myth of (male?) Americanism put forth by (‘liberal’) Hollywood: the Clint Eastwood cowboy or avenger, going it “alone” with no show of inner turmoil much less inner REFLECTION.
And that myth ... the loner who dispenses violence in judgement... ties directly to Reagan’s mythology, which Trump plagiarized with MAGA.

Ironically: “Cattle herding was no place for free thinkers or independent minds. Like any other industrial-age enterprise, the cattle drive was built around guiding principles of centralized control, monotonous routines, and a disciplined labor force.” saturdayeveningpost.com/2020/01/the-ma…

Two major research studies this week fingered Trump as a primary source of disinformation: first COVID19 and then voting by mail. What do they have in common? Getting re-elected.
Cornell University researchers analyzed 38 million English-language articles about COVID19 and discovered that Trump was the largest driver of the “infodemic.”
nytimes.com/2020/09/30/us/…
Harvard Law School Professor Yochai Benkler plus researchers from the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society show that the vote-by-mail disinfo campaign is led by political elites like Trump & the GOO with mass media amplification.

The only thing a negative COVID19 test means is that when you took it, your viral load wasn’t high enough to be reliably measured. And there can be a 20% FALSE NEGATIVE three days after symptoms.

WE NEED FINES, RELIABLE PUBLIC HEALTH MESSAGES AND ELECTED REPS WHO GROK SCIENCE.
A negative COVID19 test does not mean you don’t have the disease. It means you probably didn’t have it five days ago.

Here’s @edyong209 @TheAtlantic on the risk to Biden on Tuesday and yes it is an “indictment” of the inexcusable behavior of elected “leaders” starting with Trump

It’s the first day of Pinktober and I managed not to think about it.

Here’s a post from last year about mastectomies and scars.

#breastcancer @double_whammied

life.wiredpen.com/2019/12/how-i-…
“Although almost half of mastectomies do not involve reconstruction, it turns out that too many of these surgeries do not leave the woman “flat.” It’s highly unlikely that the scars will be “flat” if the patient isn’t savvy enough to use that word pre-op. I didn’t know.”
There are lots of explanations for visually butchered bodies.

One is that breast surgeons often leave some excess skin “in case you change your mind.” There are a non-trivial number of surgeons who refuse to perform bilateral mastectomies, per stories in breast cancer groups. Image
