I woke up last week and discovered "selfie ring lights" are now a thing and I want to go on a murder spree.
The number at my local barber a couple months ago: 0
The number at my local barber last week: 6
Violence is never the answer.
Violence is never justified.
Except when murder sprees are justified, such as this case.
What freaked me out is that at the local barber shop, each barber had gone out and gotten their own, they were all different models. They couldn't get one and share. And the market has had time to develop many models. amazon.com/s?k=selfie+rin…

Note that I'm not a solid source here. 1. I experience weird disruptions trying to make calls to the Ukraine cell phone network 2. Techies (who don't want to be named) said it was because the cell network was being DDoSed.
I do know that while cell providers are supposed to have private links to each other, I know that a lot of traffic ends up going across the Internet backone, so the scenario is plausible (though not proven).
The weirdest thing was a recorded message saying the subscriber wasn't available, in english, but breaking up severely due to disruption on the network, which as I understand it, shouldn't be possible.
Here is inflation from the Eurozone. It has the same spike as we do. It's hard to imagine how Biden caused that.
The things that economists cite that cause the current inflation were the steps taken during Trump's administration. Stimulus happened in 2020, the effects were seen in 2021. It was sticking upwards before Biden had a chance to make any difference.
It’s been over a year and republicans still haven’t cited any evidence substantiating their claims of election fraud. Yet they still claim the election was stolen.
You are a patriot if you fight a stolen election with evidence.
Claiming an election was stolen without evidence makes you the opposite of a patriot.
Fact-check: It's not a nuclear power plant. It's an old steel plant shut down before the 2008 summer Olympics because of the enormous air pollution it caused. Like power plants, steel plants need cooling towers, too.
The value of stocks comes from expectations about future corporate profits. Sure, ponzi meme stonks happen like $GME, but the stock market as a whole isn't a ponzi scheme.
Ponzi currencies mean "deflation". The dollar is a managed currency that "inflates". The value we place on a dollar isn't some arbitrary fiction, it comes from its utility and fungibility, as well as certain government demands.
1/ One of the things that fascinates me about journalism is the distinctive, objective difference in the way that the Associate Press reports news and the way the the New York Times reports news.
The AP prides itself on neutrality, the NYTimes prides itself on interpretation.
2/ Take today's daily Twitter outrage as an example. The GOP passes a resolution censuring a couple of its members. You can read the full text of their resolution here: int.nyt.com/data/documentt…
3/ Both the AP and NYTimes wrote nearly identical, and yet, completely different (sic) stories. You can see the difference in their titles.
The NYTimes interprets what the resolution said, the AP describes it neutrally.
