this is so weird lol
With Elon Musk news at a low ebb, here’s a blast from the past.
Remember last year when Elon Musk set up a $1m daily sweepstakes for swing state voters who signed a petition, creating a controversy over vote-buying?
Do you remember the part where the sweepstakes turned out to be a scam with handpicked winners, as freely admitted by his own lawyers?
Promptly leading to a class action for fraud?
Well, that class action has now survived a motion to dismiss.
Three things re this intriguing article from @…:
- I always treat health science news like this with extreme caution (“In mice” again!)
- but also I’m hopeful this might lead somewhere, have to pursue that chance, go go researchers!
- and this is exactly the kind of research that’s going to drain out of the US in coming years like water out of a canvas sack

Major kudos to the people who put together the tracks for this new compilation of power pop songs.
Some real hidden gems in here, like the early tracks from The Bongos and The Smithereens.
It covers the decade quite well with the early 80s stuff that's often included in these comps, through to the late 80s with deep cuts from Redd Kross and The Pursuit of Happiness.

A short history of my mom's work laptops:
1. VGA HDMI.
2. HDMI DP. I had to buy her a DP cable.
3. DP VGA. I had to go on a quest to beat the spiderwebs and find the old VGA cable. It turned out it doesn't work…
That is, the image is fuzzy. Now I'm wondering if the cable's damaged, or just VGA is too old for the modern world.

Possibly horrible political idea I just had: double-blind congressional elections. After an election, neither the electorate nor the candidates are told the winner, so both go to Congress as if they were the winner. The only entity that knows the actual winner is the computer that tabulates the votes that their chamber of congress holds, so then everyone has to figure out the result of their respective elections by the results of congressional votes.
