And to account for that, all the children they studied had insurance.

…why are you assuming that all non-white kids are poor? It said across the board, non-white kids of every race had worse health care.

I’ve stopped using Google Maps for walking directions and use Apple Maps instead. Whenever I use Google Maps, it gave me the most winding, dark backstreet walking route possible, but the same way on Apple Maps was really straightforward.

I really feel like Google is overall degrading.

I’ve posted things on sexism in STEM before, so I can say: no, it is not. I almost didn’t post this precisely because of how bad the comments were to those posts. Hope foolishly sprung eternal.

No, but given how much of a dumpster fire some of the replies were turning into, I can see why they did.

…what

Facebook is probably as close as we’ll get to a western “everything app.” They kind of missed the window, though, which is another thing Elon doesn’t seem to realize - the big eastern “everything apps” were there as people were starting to switch to doing things on their phones, so the ecosystems grew around them as things were developing (especially WeChat). Elon’s coming in trying to turn Twitter into an everything app nearly ten years too late.

…oof, that’s a bad typo there. Might want to fix that one.

The big difference between Twitter and all those other apps, as someone who has used both KakaoTalk and Line, is that they didn’t start out as social media posting apps - they were just chat messaging apps for talking to your friends, not the world. Then they added payment for things like buying stamps or sending friends money. From there, once they had established payment methods and users that trusted them, they started slowly adding services people thought were useful. The ecosystems built up organically over time. No one planned for them to be everything apps or tried to force it on the apps and users. They became those because they adapted to how people were using the internet on their phones.

Al Jazeera is streaming it live on their site and YouTube.

Thing is, it probably won’t. MySpace is still around. LiveJournal is still around. Big social media platforms don’t tend to stop existing. But they do stop being culturally and socially relevant, and that’s what I hope comes sooner rather than later to Twitter: irrelevancy.

Yes. Because people go where other people are. Until people start coalescing on a specific site, Twitter is still going to be relevant.

Should be pretty fucking loud and clear to every Drumf supporter out there who he is and what he wants to do to your god damn country.

Thing is, the already know, and not only do they not care, it’s what they like about him. They WANT him to do it.

Did you just miss the reply to you where I said point blank I linked to BI instead of WSJ because of a paywall, or naw?

So is the Wall Street Journal also “Daily Mail level tripe”? Because they are the Business Insider’s source for the story.

This is based on a Wall Street Journal report (which I didn’t link because it’s paywalled), so your strange anger at BI is a wee bit misplaced.

According to some of the residents on TikTok, none of them received the notifications that supposedly went out in October.

Which means this must’ve been really bad for it to stand out so much.

Um…

The London men started “Lone Wolf Radio,” which had 128 subscribers and around 9,000 views of its 21 episodes in June 2020.

Not American, for once. They’re Brits.
