I get so sick of people saying “we need more police” when these are the police we get:
“Milwaukee Police Officer Dominique Heaggan-Brown shot and killed 23-year-old Sylville Smith. Heaggan-Brown was acquitted of Smith’s killing but was later sentenced to prison on unrelated sex crimes charges.”

Almost four months ago Tom Kean Jr, a Republican, vanished from public view.
He missed more than 100 votes,
all while continuing to collecthis full taxpayer-funded salary of $174,000 along with excellent benefits.
The only explanation given for his absence was a cryptic statement from his office in late April saying he was dealing with a “personal health matter”.
Kean’s father, former New Jersey governor Tom Kean Sr, further told CNN in May that his son was battling…

I'll say one thing so far for the mNEXSPIKE covid vaccine — it did not make me wake up the next morning (this morning) feeling sick and feverish as though I'd caught a virus anyway.
I am so glad that I'm a freelancer. How often have I been at the doctor's office when I just needed a sick note for a cough or cold that would be over in a week? Now the government wants this from day 1 (currently you only need one if you're sick for longer than 3 days). Doctors are already overworked. Everyone says this is a bad idea, even the health insurance companies. This is going to break local healthcare for absolutely nothing.

A sleepless night. Coughing and hacking every few minutes. Called in sick, which is annoying, but I can’t work all day with no sleep.
The 14yo came back sick from camp a few weeks ago.I dutifully spent a week in a mask, and managed to avoid getting his cold.
The 9yo came back w/ a slight cough after a trip w/ her mom a few days ago. Thinking it was the tail end of something, I hung out w/ her and put her to bed. Now she's full-on sick and I'm kicking myself for not having just put on a stupid mask.

Reading the ACM’s “Google Scholar and the Version of Record” briefing, and it makes me sick.
In the end it comes down to Google threatening ACM to accept their conditions, and ACM threatening its members and authors to accept Google’s conditions—or else: Google will do it anyway, and if you don’t accept, it will be worse.
The way it’s presented, it’s obvious that ACM will enter the deal, regardless of what we say.

The West’s support of Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people tells you everything you need to know about “Western values”.
Western values are dollars, euros, and cents.
The next time some white person from Europe or the US preaches to you about their values, laugh in their faces. Loudly. Make sure everyone around you hears what a sick joke they are.

I am so sick of looking at anti-aliased text. How did we ever arrive at the conclusion that smudging the edges of everything was preferable to having crisp, sharply-delineated fonts that sit neatly on their pixels?
It's to the point now that using a CRT, even in Linux, is painful. It all looks like shit.
Sonnet 118 - CXVIII
Like as, to make our appetite more keen,
With eager compounds we our palate urge;
As, to prevent our maladies unseen,
We sicken to shun sickness when we purge;
Even so, being full of your ne'er-cloying sweetness,
To bitter sauces did I frame my feeding;
And, sick of welfare, found a kind of meetness
To be diseased, ere that there was true needing.
Thus policy in love, to anticipate

Trump says the memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Iranis “over”
because

They are sick people, they are vicious, violent people.”

As far as I am concerned, it’s just a waste of time dealing with them.
They are liars. …
There is something wrong with them. They are cuckoo. As far as I am concerned, it is over.”

Whilst I alone did call upon thy aid,
My verse alone had all thy gentle grace;
But now my gracious numbers are decay'd,
And my sick Muse doth give an other place.
I grant, sweet love, thy lovely argument
Deserves the travail of a worthier pen;
Yet what of thee thy poet doth invent
He robs thee of, and pays it thee again.
He lends thee virtue, and he stole that word
From thy behaviour; beauty doth he give,

European media again writing long articles about the next heatwave and that many people get sick and die, and they're calling it "the invisible danger". (Is cold weather also an "invisible danger?")
Plus they're given advice (drink a lot, cold wet towels on neck) but don't mention... air conditioning.

Ok, my theory is that the Inquisitor is sick with the same illness as Hugo, and so he's on the city and university to find the same book we're looking for. The reason he wants Hugo alive is related too, he wants to test the cure in the kid to make sure it won't kill him before getting it done on himself.
Let's say you're building a house. Normally this involves hiring a whole bunch of experts (either directly or via some company). You need to pay a fair wage for their labor, and you have to pay for all the material they're going to use. Some of them will be more experienced than others. They will sometimes make a mistake. They will sometimes get sick. The whole construction work will probably take a few months, and may get delayed in the process. Some construction material will be wasted. There's also a risk that over the next years, you'll discover that they screwed something up, and have to fix it. But you'll get a reasonably good house.
Now, a kid comes and tells you you don't have to do this. Instead of paying all these people, you can hire him. He's wearing a suit and sunshades. He never laid a brick in his whole life. But he's got this new great technology that will give you a great house in no time. Of course it will cost you, but not as much as the labor of all these people. You try to learn more, and you discover that the technology actually builds and razes a hundred of house-like things a day, until it gets close enough to something that actually resembles a house. There's a lot of wasted energy and material, but you don't have to worry because it's all subsidized (for the time being). You pay less, you get a house that looks just right on the outside and inside, and that seems to work just right.
Of course, there's a real risk that in a few months you'll discover that something is wrong. You may have to pay a lot for a real expert to figure out how things were done, and how to fix them. Or they may not be able to help you. You may be stuck having to call the suit again, and he'll happily come and fix it for you. And by "fix", I mean he will just raze a whole part of the house and start randomly spitting it out again until he gets something that looks about right, and works about right. Of course, it may not really be a good fit for the rest of the house, but you don't want to pay for replacing the whole thing, do you? It may also introduce a completely new issues that will surface in a few months, but that's just how it is.
